[EricT]

1. Black Dahlia w/ Behemoth
2. Children of Bodom
3. Killswitch Engage
<edit 4. Soilwork and Dark tranquility, almost forgot about that show>

Other then that, the rest of the shows sucked around here. There was SUPPOSED to be a Nevermore show, but it was cancelled.

This year looks a lot better though, Dream theater, in flames, dahlia again, and thats just the first part of the year.

 

[Bacchante]

Queensryche
Strapping Young lad

(the only ones I saw in 2005)

 

[Reminiscence]

I'm pretty sure Sonata will take the prize for this year, unless I see Nevermore again or Pain of Salvation.

 

[Enemy242]

i really can't remember what shows i've been to in the last year exactly, just in the general timeframe. so far my favorites recently have been
1. Overkill ( i don't think that was 2005 though)
2. SYL/Fear Factory
3. Children of Bodom/Amon Amarth
4. Nevermore @ Gigantour ( was gigantour 2005?)
bad memories suck.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

nevermore 3 times
arcturus
strapping young lad

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

[Reminiscence]

Yes. Are you really going to the gig in Worcester?

 

[neal]

[Lies and Perfidy]

Thrash Against Cancer fucking ruled. So did Priest/Queensr&#255;che/Testament. And, uh, that's all I can think of off the top of my head, though I'm pretty sure I saw at least one other show this year.

 

[Will Bozarth]

Green Carnation
Nevermore

Green Carnation completely blew my mind when I saw them in Toronto.
Nevermore... is just fuckin Nevermore.
