Hails,
First heard Deicide back in 1991, was 21 at the time. I had just bought Deicide". I brought it over to a friends house, and played it there for the first time, and was literally blown away! Now, some 13 yrs later, I still have to say Deicide is one of my favorite bands! Yeah, OK... I guess I coulda posted that on the "Hearing Deicide For the 1st Time" thread. But, I wanted to start a new thread where we could discuss our experiences of seeing them live!
I live in the great city of Chicago, and this affords me the opportunity to see plenty of shows. I have now seen Deicide 5 times, and am looking forward to my sixth. The thing that makes the sixth show great, is that I finally talked my wife into going to a Deicide show!
Earlier in the year, when some of us thought that Deicide was touring with those useless bastards of SuperJointRitual, I had purchased my tickets way in advance. That was supposed to be the first time I'd be able to drag my wife to a live metal show! Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, Deicide pulled out of the tour. I did not know this until I was already at the House of Blues. I, for one, am glad Deicide did pull out of that tour, because SJR does not deserve to share the same stage with Deicide, IMHO! I was obviously out the money for the tickets, but Zeke did put on a good show! Pissed off, I left after SJR was in the middle of their second song. All in all, it was a positive thing, because my wife enjoyed the show up until SJR, and she promises to go to more shows in the future. When I got home, I sent an email to Steve, Glenn and the US Press Manager, inquiring to why Deicide did not perform. To my utter surprise, and pleasure, Steve responds to my email with a full explanation on what happened! How cool is that? He and I exchanged a few more emails afterwards. THANKS STEVE!
A month or so later, I find out that Vital Remains is coming to Chicago, so... I grabbed my tickets, went to the show, and my wife and I had an awesome time!
September 27th, 2004, Deicide will be back in Chicago, and I am getting my tickets tomorrow!!!
