Summer Slaughter Tour 2007

[skuller]

Anyone going to this?

I'm stoked for all of the bands, but especially for The Faceless. Their CD is high class. Sick production, too. Sucks their drummer left. Anyway..

 

[JeffTD]

I'll be at the show on the 16th at HoB Hollywood, if anyone else is going.

That said, I also saw The Faceless and Beneath The Massacre at my local venue on Wednesday - absolutely KILLER show! The Faceless are incredibly tight, and Marco is a god on the kit. I got one of his broken sticks.

The stage right guitarist also had the best tone of the night... Vetta II HD and Mesa 4x12. It annihilated the 5150's, XXX's, and Recto's that other bands had that night - I was really surprised/impressed.

 

[Gnash]

Yeah, I'll see this in Kansas City in a couple weeks. Finally, a decent show!

 

[musickey]

Fuck yeah im going, i will be at the louisville KY show

 

[JBroll]

San Antonio show... fucking White Rabbit.

Got owned by Decapitated on the weekend (just toured Australia with Nile).
They were so fucking awesome. Wicked setlist with a few choice cuts from each album. I'd love to see them with Necrophagist.

 

[With Shred]

For anyone who has gone, is Necrophagist really not playing? I'm supposed to go to the show in Atlanta tomorrow (June 6).

I was at the show in Louisville KY. Last night and was told by the fellas from Daath that Necrophagist had trouble with their visas and are only missing a few dates. I know i was disapointed but man actualy how can you be disapointed considering there are 5 other bands that destroy. THE SHOW WAS FUCKIN AMAZING!!! Daath ripped it up, The Faceless were amazing cant believe their drummer not only pulled that shit of but made it look effertless, Cephalic fucking destroyed nuff said and Decapitated were on point first time i got to see them live unreal is all i can say! Got to meet alot of the bands after the show everone was real cool just hope i didnt make to much of an ass of myself lol :Smokin:

Necrophagist played tonight in Atlanta as a three piece since the lead guitarist was still having trouble getting into the country, but they were great. Marco Minneman sounded amazing with them. He definitely takes their live sound to another level.

 

[James-Doolan]

Yeah i'll be there, and I think that as blood runs black might not be the best band on the list but these guys have the best production, zack is so amazing and I dont understand why the hell this guy is not more known yet, his rates are hyper-cheap and what he did with this cd and with the new all shall perish is more than awesome...

who is this zack chap i love the production on thhe all shall perish album and as i am in band about to record something would like to know more about zack is he on this fourm how do i get in contact with him?

three piece? necrophagist w/o muhammed? whaaAA?! :zombie: how?

No it was Muhammed, the bassist, and Marco. They just left out the solos that the other guy plays.

 

[flytrapx]

Yea, Sami Raatikainen is the ld guitarist. I'm surprised Muhammed didn't just improvise some solos in the other parts. Maybe at that speed it's too hard.

He still played about half the solos on the songs they did. Closing with "Fermented Offal Discharge" was great and he pulled off the solo without breaking a sweat.

 

[With Shred]

I saw Necro in Atlanta last night too (thank God they came!). He seemed pretty much flawless most of the night last night if not all the night. I would have liked to see them with 2 guitarists though because there were some parts that seemed a little empty without a solo. Nonetheless it was an amazing show.

Not to mention just about every riff on Epitaph is different for each guitar. Not always that subtle either.

 

[With Shred]

That actually wasn't as noticeable to me as the solo thing. Be at least there was something interesting being played.

 

[JBroll]

Just got to see this last night... amazing show. I only really cared to see Ion Dissonance, Daath, and Necrophagist, but there were some other good bands. The Faceless weren't able to play, which was a bit disappointing given that I've been hearing good things about them and liked most of a clip I heard a while back. Arsis was great - it was scary how much their bassist looked like Marty Friedman, and he was jumping around the stage, playing over the top of the neck, and getting the crowd into it much better than the singer seemed to be able to. Ion Dissonance played a good set - some asshole off to the side just kept yelling that they sucked and should stop playing, but they took that in stride and just played better, which is a rare and admirable thing (especially given the shithole they were playing in). They were cool to talk to when they were manning the merch table - they were giving out a CD and a shirt for $20 (compared to the $35 I'd have paid for a shirt and CD from Necrophagist, I'm surprised they offered it that low), and when I asked about getting my liner signed the singer ran around the venue trying to get the rest of the guys for me. After their set I just waited around for Daath - there were a couple of bands there who didn't attract anyone but ninja-kicking sixteen-year-olds, but fortunately that garbage ended before too long. Daath's set was great, if a bit short, and their sound was impressive for the second stage of an already-shitty venue. Necrophagist just kicked ass - I got my hands on a setlist, I can post it if anyone's interested (it seemed like they were doing the same songs every night of the tour), and they did fortunately have their lead guitarist.

I saw The Faceless and they were a little disappointing. I just expected more, the playing was pretty good I guess but they were a little boring to watch. Ion D was good but better the first time I saw them (Arsis/Ion D/Beneath the Massacre tour).

 

[o-dog]

hey jbroll the faceless did play in san antonio. they played three songs and the ex-drummer from job for a cowboy filled in on drums for them.

holy crap marco minneman is the best drummer i have ever seen in person. and i have been to tons of drum clinics. i was on stage mezmerized just watching him. his drum solo was killer and kevin from daath told me that a lot of it was improvised on the spot because he has seen all of his solos since the tour started. wow! plus i got to see his soundcheck which he does stuff that is 100X more complicated than necro stuff.

oh yeah i forgot everyone on here are guitarists...sorry
