[MajestikMøøse]

Devildriver ( )
Devin Townsend Band
Divinity (x2 Calgary band, THEY SUCK)
Exodus
GWAR
Into Eternity (x2)
Kataklysm
Megadeth
Moonspell
Red Tide (local opener for gwar)
Section VIII (x3, local band, always as openers)
State of the Art
Strapping Young Lad
Zimmer's Hole

that's complete, including all the gay little bands.

and some band that opened for GWAR that I can't remember, one of the melodeathcore crap bands that are populating the dregs of metal these days

Opeth would be on there, but ours was the first date on the tour that Lopez had a nervous breakdown and therefore they couldn't play. I was with Mikey Smith and his friend at the time and needless to say we were dejected. Especially since it turns out they played Blackwater Park, April Ethereal and The Moor on that tour. Faggots.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Not an extraordinary amount, but enough that I don't wish to name them all. I will say that Death Angel had the most electrifying energetic performance of any band I have seen. The most awe inspiring performance goes to TSO. And the total shit award goes to As I lay Dying (They opened for In Flames).

 

[lurch70]

I will say that Death Angel had the most electrifying energetic performance of any band I have seen.

everyone that has seen them claims this, yet from videos this does not come across much ... but I still really want to see them

 

[Erik]

i can vouch for that as well, well maybe not THE most "electrifying" but they are a great live band... seem very genuinely into what they are doing. same with overkill, destruction...

 

[Reign in Acai]

everyone that has seen them claims this, yet from videos this does not come across much ... but I still really want to see them

Watching them was like getting kicked in the fucking face. Mark Osegueda has a stage presence that is powerful enough to command a 10,000 man army. KILL AS ONE!!! His filipino relatives behind him, played their instruments tighter than a bloody vagina.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

oh and I watched the webcast of Exodus's CD release party for Tempo of the Damned, if that counts....

(it doesn't)

Also feel free to guess which bands from that list I've seen 2349052345 times and which I was forced into seeing.

Colour Haze

I want to hear how amazing they are live, as in bootleg form. Unless, of course, it's just a big throbbing disappointment (which I somehow doubt).

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Well i made the thread about Colour Haze here after i saw this live performance (and i bought their s/t there) i mentioned. It was mind blowing, playing more than 2 hours and i (we) didn't actually realized how time passed. We could never took our eyes off stage, like we were seeing more than the 3 band members, it was fucking trippy.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]
