yeah i agree with the fact that not all americans want fast brutal stuff but for the most part they do... majority rules on this... and for me ,in my opinion, i think where the silent gods stand guard is one of the worst songs that AA has made, not that its a bad song i just think its not near as good as many of there other slow songs and for me if they play it that would probably ruin my nite if its not followed by Fury Divine.ive been waiting for a long time to see AA play (i couldnt make it last year cause it was way the fuck in ft.lauderdale, and im in orlando so...) and ever since i first herd FD ive been acting out and imagining how bad ass it would be to see them play it live.
and as for american venues sound... not all of them are realy small or muddy in sound, The State Theatre (st.petersburgh) i think has some of the best sound ive herd (depending whos playing). as long as they dont play the brass mug (which has good sound its just so frickin small, you can fit about 100 people in there it seems) they should sound realy good and enough room for most everyone. but anyway, i know theres someone whos gonna back me up on this, or if they dont put FD in there original play list they should atleast reherse it and keep it open if someone request it or something... alot of bands ive seen lately dont take request... cause it would be a great song to see live...
