Philly 4/30

[gkelter]

what was with everyone drinking white russians last night? Jaska was wandering around by the bus last night making people drink from his cup. Strange shit. Was anyone standing around by us when the bus started leaving without Jaska and he was waving goodbye to it? That was fucking hilarious.

The show was incredible. Evergrey sounded decent, but yeah you couldn't really hear what they were singing.. bad setup i guess maybe?
Bodom tore shit up. As soon as they started playing Hate Me for the first song, the whole fuckin middle of the floor opened up into a giant pit... and it just got crazier from there, especially on Needled 24/7 and Hate Crew Deathroll because Alexi said something like "I wanna see some fucking people pushing down there" so naturally, we do as we were told He also said that Philly was the loudest city in the whole country, so beat that fuckers
Iced Earth really sounded incredible as well, and I didn't think there were many songs to be able to mosh to.. but wow was I wrong. Ripper did a really really good job, a lot better than I expected. That scream he held.. haha wow.

I can't wait for Bodom to headline their own tour again, it will definitely be a show I will not miss.

i doubt any of you probably even saw me, but i was the skinny short haired blond kid wearing a gray and red adidas shirt because i dont own any band shirts and the HCD bodom shirt i ordered didn't come in time

There's something I wish I could have seen! How long was it before the others realized that Jaska was not on the bus when it started leaving?

How do you guys meet bands after shows at the troc? I'd like to know the next time I go there.

Anyway, I was there, and Children Of Bodom are one of the best goddamn live bands ever, seriously. WOW. Evergrey really impressed me too, I got an Evergrey t shirt on my way out.

Iced Earth rocked of course but I've gotta say that they weren't as good as I expected. We left during Gettysburg though, that whole trilogy is just too damn long and we were starting to get tired. But overall, I definitely enjoyed them.

Bottom line: Show kicked ass.

Oh and Fenrir, those pics fuckin' rock. I'm not a drinker but that pic of you and Alexi drinkin is indeed THE coolest picture I have ever seen.

 

[arch_enemy666]

WOW! Fenrir I want to go to a show with you, it looks like you know what to do, but yea those pics rocked. So they are playing Hate Crew Deathroll now, I only saw that they were playing Hate Me, Chokehold, Silent Night, Everytime I Die, Needled 24/7 Angels Don't Kill, Sixpunder, and Downfall, did they add Hate Crew Deathroll, or just replace one of those songs

[gkelter]

Here are a few of my pics...

I'm the fat one. Haha. Enjoy.

 

[gkelter]

If anyone was wondering.. Alexi's beer is a Yuengling. It's kinda hard to tell with the sun reflecting off of it.

 

[Lokakuu]

I remember seeing you at the bus.

 

[Fenrir13]

that Yuengling looks vaguely familiar.

guess they hadn't drank it all yet at that point.....


and guys, I dig the pics!!! I see Seraphim, you were hangin' at the Balcony, hehe...i went up there for a smoke at one point but that was it; i am usually up there often tho. Glad ya had fun!!

and BOY was Roope drunk! But damn, he's like someone's big brother or something. So damn nice!!

 

[TowardsDeadEnd]

Seriously, how do you meet the bands at the Troc?

 

[Fenrir13]

just hang out. a lot of the openers go up to the balcony to drink, and they come out and talk to fans.

 

[EndlessWhore]

Fenrir, please stop drinking so much, im worried about your health and well being. You can't go on like this.

 

[_Quarantine_]

sweet!

I feel a strange need to hug everybody right now

 

[gkelter]

To meet the bands at the Troc, go around the corner, walk past Empress Garden Chinese Restaurant, and make a left into the back alley with the big red door. Do this BEFORE the show. That's where that pic of me and Alexi was taken... at about 4 o'clock. The pic of me and Janne was in front of the tour bus which pulled up right in front of Empress Garden.

 

[ubiquitos]

about that very first pic, I had no idea alexi was a lefty

 

[Stygian16]

gkelter, remember when your grop was following me to the tour bus and then i realized a i didn't know where the fuck i was going? funny stuff. And Fenrir it was awesome meeting you too (I'm TheIrnMaiden on your buddylist ) Anyway here's two pics I took on my phone pre-show:

 

[~metal_maiden~]

Hey very nice pics everyone! Thanks for sharing.

@Stygian16: The second pic looks like you, Janne, and Henkka are a band. Sweet!
