I saw Moonspell live and couldn't wait for them to get off the stage for all their cheesiness. Then, a year later, I went and saw Cryptopsy where Lord Worm feeds worms to the audience. Inconsistent eh? Maybe I should give Moonspell another chance.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

They only seem cheesy because they have their goddamn awesome skull-staff

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I want some skull on my staff.

 

[dorian gray]

Yes, the skull staff. I knew there was something incredibly cheesy about them but it's been almost three years since I saw them. Dude kept hammering it on the floor. It was real annoying.

Holy fuck Katatonia are playing 30 minutes away from me this coming Monday.

I don't know/care about Poonsmell, but maybe I'll stick around to watch them as well.

 

[Demilich]

I took off before Moonspell when I saw this show. Moonspell plays Toronto more often than half the local bands, i've fucking seen them 3 or 4 times in the past couple of years without ever really wanting to

 

[Nate The Great]

The new Moonspell is one of the best of the year. You people need to forget about their old stuff and come around to this new one.

 

[M.Lehto]

I really enjoyed Sin/Pecado, but the older or newer material hasn't worked for me. Sin/Pecado has really unique feeling.
