i had to register to make this point, i was at the leadmill, and id been looking forward to that gig for two months, ever since it had been announced. i went with a bunch of my old mates who we all grew up together listening to shared albums by metallica, maiden, pestilence, testament and the mighty thrax to mention a few.
i sa\w them last year supporting motorhead in london, it was a superb show, but the night wasnt right, you couldnt drink beer while listening to the band and the place was more than half empty, and in a enormadrome situation that fucks everyhitng up.
but in the good ol leady, well thats the best gig ive seen for a long time. for me to see a band that have been going for longer than ive been able to talk play a venue that size after their arena history and have that ammount of passion for what their playing its just phenomonal. and they played metal thrashing mad. thumbsup!
but yeh, thats one seriously good band we have there, one band criminally ignored by festival organisers and people in general- a band that dont mind pulling out the classics and peppering them with awesome newies.
i genuinely believe the thrax are possibly the greastest live band on the planet right now, a true band to cherish.
go thrax!
