Poor Hawk, hasn't seen Arch Enemy or Bodom yet. I am by no means trying to rub in that I saw them but heres my statistics with those two bands. Arch Enemy opening for Iron Maiden at the Hammerstein Ballroom in January 2004 and Arch Enemy opening for Cradle of Filth November 2004. As far as Children of Bodom goes I have seen the boys on all three of their US tours they did within the last year. First with Nevermore and Dimmu Borgir (Hypocrisy was part of the tour too but I missed them
) then with Evergrey and Iced Earth and most recently with Fear Factory and Lamb of God. They never manage to disappoint.
