I'll be seeing them Mon. in Cincy. I'll have to admit I'm not all that pumped about this show. It's in a pretty decent sized arena and I'm not a big fan of arena shows plus I'm more then a little burned out with Slayer lately. The tickets were free though so even if it sucks it'll be better then sitting at home.
 
To the best of my memory that set is accurate.

Not the best slayer show I have seen, but I still had a blast, like always. Asshole crowd though. Yeah Tom was takeing it easy up there, but he was still giveing it all he had. Jeff fucked up about 1,000 times but it was hillarious - Jeff and Tom exchanged a few "wtf just happened?" glances. During Seasons, Dave and Jeff completely lost eachother and Dave just stopped untill he found a good spot to jump back in. I did'nt mind the fuck ups - because you could tell everyone was haveing fun, and they propably did not get much of a chance to practice, what with Tom's condition and all. Great show all in all. Lamb of God was also very good - those guys are really starting to grow on me. I have been listening to them more and more.

I have to say this though - Children of Bodom fucking sucks ass live. I never cared much for their CD's either, but they are even worse live. Whathisfuck, the lead singer, he kept fucking up the guitar parts real bad. He was too busy poseing for the fucking cameras instead of looking at where his fingers were going. Even aside from that, they just sounded thin. I have heard 3 piece bands that had a much heavier, ballsier sound then those guys.

Mastadon was good - but I missed half their set! I was too busy driveing around Camden trying not to get shot. I completely missed Thine Eyes Bleed.

Nonsense! Children of Bodom was awesome. Alexi is a guitar god, and he doesn't have to look at his fingers the whole time he plays. I didn't notice any problems with the sound in Cincinnati. Maybe it was just a one night thing.
