Just got back from the perfomance I went to in Maryland.
Bodom played third (order: High On Fire, Job For A Cowboy, Children Of Bodom, In Flames, Megadeth). My friends and I were a little upset since we got there early expecting them to be first (as they were in other concerts according to other people's posts).
Maybe they're better on a CD, but High On Fire and Job For A Cowboy were awful. I've never listened to their stuff before I saw them live, so that probably doesn't help, but it was not fun to listen to :\ I hope I'm not offending any High On Fire or JFAC fans
Bodom was fucking amazing tho, even though they only played 6 songs (lol wtf? Songlist in order that I don't remember: Sixpounder, Angels Don't Kill, Hate Me!, Blooddrunk, In Your Face, Downfall). Alexi didn't look drunk at all (much to our surprise) and he played extremely cleanly. We all had a great time
For all of you still waiting for the concert near you, they played fantastically, even though they only played 6 songs.
Hah, it was funny seeing the contrast of interest in the bands up til bodom. For High On Fire and Job For A Cowboy, everyone (except the people in the pit) was sitting down because no one cared, and then after JFAC left everyone was standing up shouting BODOM! BODOM! BODOM!
It was pretty awesome. However, they wouldn't let us into the pit (we never found out why). Some bouncer stopped us and pointed to his wrist as if we needed a wristband or something. Does anyone know if there was like a waiver we had to sign or something? We were really miffed that we couldn't get into the pit.
