I just got back from Children of Bodom. I'm not home right now, so this isn't a formal review of the show. [if you saw my thread about the Asbury Park show, you'll see what to expect when I get home tomorrow.] Simply fucking phenominal. Hypocrisy was amazing as usual, and Children of Bodom had the best crowd reaction I'd ever seen. Everyone knew the lyrics, everyone cheered between songs, and there was even a "BODOM! BODOM!" chant once they left. Alexi apologized for not being able to play longer, but promised to come back. Nevermore followed up COB really well. Their set was full of thrashy songs; the crowd was really into it. I left after Nevermore and went to meet COB. I met a few people from the forums out there [Yngvai, among others], and also met Roope, Janne, and Jaska. Got autographs from Jaska and Roope. Roope was drunk as hell... he made a comment about watching them put down cement on the sidewalk and laughed about it.
Overall, I give the show a 100000000/10 rating. Simply fucking amazing.
