How is Mayhem's live show nowadays?!?!

[Reign in Acai]

Not that I was fortunate to catch them in the olden times. I'm just rather curious to know if they are as theatrical with the animal blood, goat heads, and sheepskin condom routine of the 90's? They're playing with Wolves in the Throne Room on July 20th, and my interest in making the trek is higher than any national bank could offer.

Also, who from this lovely forum is attending Immortal in Los Angeles?!?! I may be in attendance, in inebriated splendor ofcourse.

 

[Will Bozarth]

well, I saw the 2006 (2005?) Wacken video and there was blood and goat heads

I may be going to the LA Immortal show. not sure yet. Where are Mayhem and WitTR playing?

 

[swizzlenuts]

I think EricT was thinking about hitting this show up.

and my interest in making the trek is higher than any national bank could offer.

I give that phrase 4.9 stars.

 

[EricT]

I'm going to the Immortal show for sure. And am still on the line about the Mayhem show. Though if Wolves is on that show now then it will be a definite.

Fucking Sigh is also on that Mayhem show, who I would love to see.

Edit: As far as I know its Mayhem, Sigh, Crem, Intronaut, and Nokturne on the LA show and Wolves is only playing the Seattle show. If that changed though, I'll stick around LA for a few extra days...

 

[General Zod]

I've never seen Mayhem live. But if they play Mayhem material during their set, I'm going to go ahead and guess their live show sucks. Glad I could help.

[EricT]

Haha yeah.

Its sad that I'm contemplating sticking around a city at a hotel for some show openers, with the headliner just "being there".

 

[Reign in Acai]

Mayhem and Wolves are playing in Seattle! Screw Los Angeles, fucking mojados whose filth is second only to the insufferable climate in which they loiter. I hope Mayhem chooses their livestock from my neighbor's porch!

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Im debating seeing them on this tour, because I've never seen them and I really would love to hear some DMDS material with Atilla back on vocals.

 

[EricT]

Hmm, I wonder if I could swing a trip to Seattle...

I really fucking wanna see wolves :/

 

[spikes77]

I believe we are missing the point here. Screw mayhem, FUCKIN SIGHHH :hotjump:

Sucks they're only doing the LA and Santa Ana dates...

The fucking openers on this tour should be fucking consistent, dammit!

Though, I do wonder if Sigh is just gonna fly home after doing 2 gigs, or line up a few headliners around the country. If theres a headliner, they had better announce it soon so I can buy my plane ticket in advance.

 

[spikes77]

Yes, they will be doing more shows in the U.S which are tba. This is from the official site http://sigh.gospel-virus.net/newspage.htm (latest update). Check out that setlist in the news archive, awesome!!! (Wish they do one more song from IS though )

 

[EricT]

Sweet deal. I could only hope it hits utah... which it will most likely not.

That setlist is fucking grand, btw. I like it as-is.

 

[spikes77]

You can't go wrong with two songs from Ghastly funeral

 

[EricT]

That is a very true statement.

 

[War Ensemble]

I'm hoping to make it out to the Immortal show. The NYC date doesn't work for me. If I go, I hope to catch the first Mayhem/Sigh show.

I will be out in LA during the weekend that Emperor is playing. Probably end up going to that show. Maybe I will have an inebriated RiA sighting that weekend.

I saw Sunn last weekend and Attila provided vocals. It was the most stunning performance of my life, and out-shone even his work on De Mysteriis. If you're wondering if it will sound any good, I'd say undeniably, that it will sound better than anything in the fucking world, and I envy all those who witness it.
