hahah I did it was Fun! ... I'm not really a Mosher at all but Overkill brings it out of me ... Normally I am Quiete and mellow like I was at PP ... anyways here is a quickie review of the show
The First band that played was a group called
Crotalis .. they had a great Old School thrash feel to them and the singer reminded me of a Grough James Hetfield they did a cover of Maidens "Trooper" which was very cool! at the very end of the night the singer/lead guitarist gave me and Jesse each a copy of thier album for free!
Next up was
Red Right Hand .. these guys were pretty good I cant really compare them to anybody but they were definately a thrash band
I got a free demo from them! after them was an OLD Boston band by the name of
Meliah Rage These guys Kicked some Serious ass! even though they werent quite my cup o tea I didnt care for the singer but the Band was awsome and after their set I had a good chat with their lead Guitarist very cool guy! ... after them was a OLD band that I had Never heard of by the name of
Candy Striper Death Orgy I thought the name was stupid and expected them to be too
BUT as it turns out they KICKED major ass! their style is like SOD crossed with Nuclear Assult ... I was amazed this band had been around since 1988 and I had never heard them! I also had a Great Time Moshing with their lead Singer/Guitarist in the OVERKILL pit! .... and then it was time for the Almighty
OVERKILL!! the Stage went dark and filled with smoke and then BANG there was OVERKILL Talk about Presence NOBODY does it like Overkill and the pit was just INSANE instantly I took several Hard shots that knocked the wind out of me but then they played the song Gasoline Dream and I snapped I went from Mild Mannered me to Maniac me and Moshed my ass off! several different times I was crushed between 300 pound monsters hahaha I am really feeling it now but they put on a World Class show and were Absolutely Flawless .... now before the show we went to a Chinese place for dinner we got seated and Right behind us Was The singer of Overkill and one of the guitar players having some dinner themselves ... so we let them be right up untill the singer got up to leave then we got his attention he came over and shook our hands and was very cool! Blitz is a World class performer and a Great Guy very down to earth we also got autographs from the 2 guitar players ... lots of cool stuff happened but I am having trouble remembering all the details hahaha But what I know best is that OVERKILL RULED all the opening bands were GREAT and my ribs, neck, Throat, and the rest of my Body ACHE!!! hgahaha it was a BLAST though
