I went to the Mountain View (SF bay area) show, the second date of the tour. Lamb of God had to of been my favorite of them all, they were tight even though my friend claims that Chris was missing kicks left and right, but he sounded spot on to me. Not a zombie fan either but he did put on a good show, however John's solo was weak, and he really should have not treid to play the Star Spangled Banner as it just showed he cannot play a lead with ANY passion, feel, and soul. Funny Korn played a few new for us, but that was awhile into the set.
to me the top bands had to be:
Winds of Plague
Shadows Fall
Hatebreed
Lamb Of God
Rob Zombie
Korn
little extra, ironic that I survive the Hatebreed circle pit (although Americans don't know how to do it correctly), but get clipped by some drunk bastard sending me to the ground, ripping myself up when In This Moment was up, I had to learn the hard way twice about not getting in the pit to late in a show when motherfuckers are to drunk to behave. Get in early, leave early, leave the alcoholics to put themselves in stretchers.
