Southern California Thread

[Oblivious Maximus]

So its looking more and more likely that I'll be LA bound in the coming months. Anyone got any tips, ie affordable lodging, food, cool places to see gigs, ect... Can't really go through all 42 pages of thread at the moment.

Immolation was badass. I wish the volume was a little louder, but I on the other hand, I love how clean the sound is at that venue. Makes it easy to follow all of those delicious leads.

I left after three songs of the quasi-Sepultura set. Didn't realize they were gonna play an entire set of nu metal garbage. The saddest part was how much more into that crap the crowd was than they were into Immolation.

Went to see Yngwie tonight. Dude is pretty much everything people say about him, but I had to see it for myself. Total egomaniac, who can shred neoclassical for days. I'm more a fan of his songs with vocals and discernible melody lines, he only played a couple of those. The rest was mostly showboating. Oh well!

Anyone else going to Cryptopsy tonight?

Also, Morbid Angel and Suffocation on the 16th
