I am speechless from that gig. It was AWSOME :OMG:
First time i've seen Opeth live, so I was blown away.

Im disappointed that noone made up a UM sign, we coulda all met up. Im sure I woulda seen some of you guys there.

Arch Enemy were AWSOME also. Very dope indeed.

Well it's a gig, not a wrestling fight. You are not supposed to fuck up everyone else's fun. And if you think that's what concerts are about fuck you :) It's ok to lose control every now and then (let's say Demon of the fall :p), but not all the time. Those guys were just screwing around. Whatever.. it was Opeth and I wasn't like headbanging all the time... IT WAS OPETH :) Arch Enemy's another story..
Do you remember a guy you said he looked like Monster Magnet's vocalist? That's Lee_B :)
@Lee_B: yeah it was nice to meet you.. even if I didn't say anything :p We were supposed to have a pic with you and u left.. argh :)

Never heard Withering Surface before but they were pretty good. The singer had a cool voice and the music was lida half heavy melodic european style and half western garagy. Some cheesy stuff, especially the final track Dacing with Faries (or something like that).

Arch Enemy kicked ass. Very good fun although the thick sound drowned out half the tune. Angela was cool. A lot samller than I expected (!) and she put on a damn cheesy show (air guitar/metal facial expression 1/metal facial expression 2/random claw-like hand guestures/air guitar again etc). Ravenous was a great ending to the set.

I missed Opeth coming on but wandered down to the front during the start of Lepper Affinity. From the back, the sound was not nice and you couldnt really tell if they were even playing the right riff (I would guess if you were upstairs then it wansnt too good either). But I ended up just infront of Martin M near the left speakers where the sound was great and I had a really good view (dispite my annoying shortness) and it was pretty non violent! Unlike the London gig were there was lots of moshing, this was pretty calm and I got to really see the band playing and they were amazing. Note perfect, especially the solos and there was a bit of alternative riffing in Lepper. The best song was surprisingly Godheads Lament cause the playing was just perfect. On the down side, the set did seem to go really quickly and there was non of the intimate atmosphere of the Underworld gig last Decenmber. They also didnt play Bleak (fair enough as they played it last time) but I would rather they had dropped other songs they already played.

I have to say that I didnt really like the venue that much compaired to the Underworld. Who the fuck thought it was a clever idea to put those gradual steps up to the stage. If anything, the floor should go UP as you get away from the stage, not down. Apart from surely being pretty unsafe, it makes it damn hard to see if youre just below the steps.

It was weird how I came out of the gig not sweating or worn out at all when last time I was soaked and had to buy a katatonia top just to avoid freezing to death on the way home.
