Went to this show last night as I really wanted to see Morbid Angel again. Last time I saw them was at the Limelight in Manhattan back on the Covenant tour (or was it Blessed ?!?!) and I remember that they deliver the goods live.
For a Monday night, Lamours in Brooklyn was pretty packed and Morbid Angel fuckin slayed. Since I was at the side of the stage all the way upfront had a chance to see the beast that is sir Pete "Commando" Sandoval ... I am not a drummer but can appreciate talent and this guy is a fucking machine. Pure precision ...
Some tracks they played ... Enshrined by Grace, Beneath the Hollow and Curse the Flesh from the new one ... Rapture, God of Emptiness and I cannot for the life of me remember the rest of the tracks . Short set though .. maybe 40-45 minutes.
Superjoint Ritual ... not sure what to say about this band. Anselmo is the biggest douchebag burnout I have ever seen front a band. As some of you may know SR songs are 2 minute ditties ... so there is no excuse to play a song and then talk shit for 5 minutes between them ... literally between every song. Not only talk but have nothing to say either, just fuck and fucking shit about everything that pissed him off, especially his displeasure of todays metal scene and his claim of SR being the saviour to metal .. hmmm
But to give credit where it is due, the band once they get going is not bad. Especially this Hank Williams III bass player dude. IF there was ever a reincarnation of Cliff Burton ... this is the guy. Fucking intense dude, pure energy an he has a bass sound that is brutal as fuck.
The crowd (at least up by the stage) was into them, but from where I was standing chants of "Shut the fuck up burnout" directed at Anselmo was the norm.
Anyway ... just wanted to post this ... Check out MA on this tour if you can ... they still deliver the goods, considering they are becoming old farts
Oh yeah ... they had a second guitar player with them, did not catch his name, but he kept up with Trey!
