Just saw the Detroit show

[BastrdDrmr]

Hypocrisy was good... only recognized like 1 song though.

CoB owned all. But their set was WAY too short... only 6 songs. The crowd was REALLY into them. Alexi said he couldn't believe that fans in the US were into them. Janne's keyboard fell off its stand at one point and crashed onto the crowd, but he didn't really seem to mind. He was taking his sweet time fixing his stand up and placing the keyboard back on it, but whatever, hehe. As Bodom went off, EVERYONE was chanting BODOM BODOM BODOM BODOM over and over. It ruled, but still... way too short.

Setlist: (in order)
Needled 24/7
Hate Me
Chokehold
Silent Night Bodom Night
Beach Bodom Terror
Downfall

Nevermore sucked. Enough said... look at my review on the Nevermore forum is you're interested.

Dimmu ruled. Their drummer is insane. Lots of stage lights and smoke all over the place.

Setlist: (partially in order)
Lepers Among Us
In Death's Embrace
Catacylsm Children
Kings of the Carnival Creation
Vredesbyrd
Unorthodox Manifesto
Progenies of the Great Apocalypse
Indoctrination
:: at this point there were a few old Dimmu songs I didn't know ::
Dreamside Dominions (I think)
Mourning Palace (closer)

 

[BastrdDrmr]

err.. I meant to say Janne's keyboard crashed onto the GROUND, not the crowd, hehe

 

[Lari]

HAHA! Way to go COB!!

 

[BodomiC]

first usa gig

 

[alphacorvus]

I was there and it was GREAT. I was dead center a few feet from the stage.

My friend and I wanted to hear Sixpounder, but ah well...Everything else kicked ass.

 

[the polish bastard]

This isnt Bodoms first gig in the usa, they played the milwake metal fest in july 2000.



ps MAtrix revolutions rocked

 

[†_Aragorth_†]

oh damn...that was really way too short. but still awesome as we can see.

 

[Lari]

This isnt Bodoms first gig in the usa, they played the milwake metal fest in july 2000.

They also played a showcase gig in March 2003 in Texas.

 

[H4des]

They didn't play Lake Bodom?
I think they have played that one on every show so far..

 

[Sympozium]

6 songs that sucks! Oh well, better than 0...

 

[ladyjustice]

glad to know you had a kick ass time. But just 6songs? Thats just too short. But atleast they played!!! You have any pics of the show?

 

[Zarok666]

They didn't play Lake Bodom?

No, they already didn't play it in Tuska and Summer Breeze 2003. But it was the first time that they didn't play Towards Dead End since it was in their set in the middle of 1998.

Only 1 song from Follow The Reaper... And I wonder why they didn't play their favourite songs from Hate Crew Deathroll like Sixpounder and the title track.

 

[H4des]

But it was the first time that they didn't play Towards Dead End since it was in their set in the middle of 1998.

Almost, they didn't play it on 14/02/2003 in Osaka. Because of technical problems (i believe), though.

 

[Taliesin]

Nevermore sucked. Enough said... look at my review on the Nevermore forum is you're interested.

When I saw Nevermore on the 25 of September this year, they kicked major ass... and I'm not even a real fan of theirs..

 

[Zarok666]

Almost, they didn't play it on 14/02/2003 in Osaka. Because of technical problems (i believe), though.

Hell yeah, you're right!

 

[MattyK]

Hell yeah, you're right!

6 songs doesn't seem right. I wonder if that Keyboard situation was a factor. Do you think they cut it 1 or 2 songs short? Were they the 2nd band on stage after Hypocrisy?

 

[Zarok666]

What??? We're talking about something completely different. COB only have 30 minutes playing time in the US and so they can't play more than 6 songs. And yeah, they played after Hypo and before Nevermore.

 

[He||spawN]

Were they selling any good merchandise (shirt) at the show ?

 

[Hatebreeder86]

No, they already didn't play it in Tuska and Summer Breeze 2003. But it was the first time that they didn't play Towards Dead End since it was in their set in the middle of 1998.

Did they play it in "bodom night" show 99' ? IMO not.

 

[Yngvai X]

only 30 min? That sucks, Id prefer if they got something like 45 but oh well. Bodom albums are short as it is, so at least we still get almost an albums worth of songs from them
