And I don't really know KSe's catalogue.
Thats roughly the order, may be 1 or two in the other way but I think I've got all the songs. The only bad thing from the gig was that much of the Soilwork/KSE instruments/vox faded into one another and became unrecognisible. (Prolly due to their style of singing) which was ok but not great.
It was fucking loud as it should be.
Anthrax's I Am The Law (a personal fav) was fucking awesome, lets say best song of the night by far.
The Soilwork guitarist (beady: sorry don't know his name) fucking worse a Motley Crue: Theater of Pain T-Shirt while performing, (prolly stolen from troops) and between sets they played Motorhead+Maiden(mostley maiden [notb, can i play with madness, fear of the dark, run to the hills, bring your daughter, the evil that men do, 2 minutes, be quick or be dead, running free])+a bit of motley and something else I failed to recognise due to me being too fucked up from the soilwork set.
And as always I was 3-4 rows from the front in the middle of the mosh for both those bands. Fuck I'm so high and so tired at the same time. Weird. The mosh was fucking brutal, worse than Slayer/MH in 01. Much worse IMO I expcet to wake up with a few bruises tomorrow. Also I got to touch the Soilwork lead singers head when he stage dived, I'm so cool.
I AM SO!!!!
And the KSE lead singer popped out through the soilwork set. And KSE's guitarist Adam is one fucking hilarious and weird dude. He by far had the best talky bits
Twas a fairly good show.
