Damn, makes the stage they played last night on look like crap. I fucking hate the Pound in SF, and i'm embarassed when bands like SA come all the way from Finland to play there. I was about halfway back on the floor, and I couldn't see anyone below the chest on stage (seriously, 2.5-3' high stage, and i'm 6'3"). The sound sucked, couldn't hear backing vox for crap, small ass stage, etc. etc.... I swear if I had the means i'd open my own club here for metal and show those fags how to do it.
In light of all that though I thought it was a good show, i'd really like to see them again in a better venue though, I wish I could go to the LA shows tonight or tomorrow.
I do have one bugging problem though... people like the bassist of SA really bug me... this guy is in a band that is known worldwide, even if not hugely popular you should be able to find someone just about anywhere that is a SA fan, and he gets to do what most musicians DREAM about (touring the world, recording, etc...)... SHOW SOME FUCKING ENTHUSIASM ON STAGE. I thought he was sick or something, but based on Sean's pix, that's what he always looks like. Lamer.
