Miolo & Buzz: i'm sorry, guys. i don't agree on the Devy thing. i'll admit i'm not an extremely avid fan myself - meaning i don't have every CD from every project - but, i do own 3 SYL CDs. they're Far Beyond Metal!
this upcoming show will be my second time seeing the Lads live. we have to go all the way back to 1997 to recount the last time. i'd never heard any of their music prior to that show. what i was familiar with then was Devin's work with Steve Vai, and i also knew about Gene's work with Dark Angel and Death. anyway, that night SYL were on the same bill with Testament and Stuck Mojo. being more familiar with them i knew what to expect from those two bands. having never heard SYL before though, i wasn't sure what to expect from them before going in. i mean, for the most part, except for more intense songs like Down Deep Into The Pain, my preconception i guess was that it would be more along the lines of the rest of the material on Sex & Religion. bwahahahaha! WRONG! | Do not pass GO ~ Do not collect $200 |
i was surprised, but pleasantly so.
what an extremely unique and eclectic night of hard 'n' heavy music that was!
Sorrow Filled Passing: thanks! how was the turnout?
