I was there on Friday. Good show. This really shitty nu-metal band, Agent Zero, opened. You would think that someone would recognize that nu-metal is dead, but no, they still booked these guys. It seemed as if they ended their set early, thankfully. Mastodon was next, and their set was far too short unfortunately, probably only half an hour. They actually didn't get ripped on too badly by the Slayer fans. It was a good performance. Killswitch Engage surprised me. They put on a pretty good show. Even though I think Jesse would be a better frontman than Howard Jones, they were still good. The crowd was really into them from what I could tell. After a very long delay, Slayer played. Being 5'7" and 130, I had to worry about not getting destroyed, which prevented me from enjoying their set more. The raining blood from above the stage was really lame, unfortunately.
It was good to see tour with three bands with legitimacy. Having a metalcore band is a whole lot better than having to sit through Slipknot, or Godsmack or whatever. There are a crapload of tourdates for this one, so I guess a lot of you will have the chance to go. Tickets were $42 (fucking Ticketmaster). But probably worth it, unless you've seen the bands in question before. Since the tour runs through the middle of December, there's at least someplace to talk about it here.
