my 'puter has been dead so sorry for my delayed report...
gojira were pretty f-in sweet imho. they had some sweet breakdown riffs goin on. of course no one really gets moshing to the opening band so i felt for them, but there were lots of horns in the air and mellow headbanging. i was impressed.
i am slacking in the machine head dept and didn't recognize any of the songs they played except one or two. they put on a pretty good show, but they only have a couple original members so..... A for effort.
trivium didn't get the negative response that cpt talked about. at one point heafy even said something to the effect of, we were just in canada the other day and you guys blew them away, or something. they had a fuct mixing job going on. i couldn't really distinguish the guitar & his vocals very well. it was at least cool to rock to flies & martyr. i was 3 peeps from the front thru trivium and have a pretty close-up pic on my razr of heafy.
LoG tore the place apart. i couldn't even stand being up front anymore cuz it was fucking chaos and i was about ready to have a heart attack and pass out (going to concerts is *the* most intense physical activity i ever have to experience haha) so me and my buddy moved back a bit so we could admire the destruction LoG was throwing down. randy commented on the venue we were at cuz it was recently remodeled. i was impressed he even remembered some random shithole in ND. they had some gear issues during our show too. randys like, well i dont get paid to be a standup fucking comedian so anyone have any jokes? nah, fuck that, how about a little Q & A.
- new album?
-i dont even know man. eventually.- why is the sky blue?
-well i'm from north carolina. and there we like to say that God is a tarheels fan and made the sky tarheel blue.- favorite position?
-some girl asked this. and he goes.... my favorite position?? hmm, how about one with my WIFE. hahaha
they played laid to rest, redneck and black label last. it was fucking sweet. awesome show. i *almost* broke my glasses again. FUCK body surfing, that shit is for lollapalooza, NOT metal shows. i dropped a fatass for trying
