I'm not saying it is satisfying for everyone, just that it is reflective of the American metal scene today
Zephyrus
Tyrants and Slaves
Easy for you to say, with all your brutal death fests. But you have a valid point about the reflectivity. I guess it will always be a fantasy to have all the big European bands coming to America to play in one big festival.

I thought I was the only one who people watches at shows. Judas Priest/Queensryche had some of the best looking burnout dudes you'd ever want to see in your life.
Rumpole
Dust and Bones
There was also this old dude with the sweetest denim jacket you've ever seen. Completely covered in vintage patches of Motorhead, Saxon, Priest, Maiden, Scorpions etc, pretty much any 80's heavy metal band you could think of.
What was also interesting was that Sonic Youth was playing the same night at a venue not too far away from Budgie. It was really easy to pick out who was going where. Absolute polar opposites in terms of audience.

Man i would love to go to a festival like Dynamo,Wacken,Inferno,maybe one day i'll make it if i can save the $,Milwauke Metal Fest looks awesome also
Last concerts I went to
Down in Albany second time and they put on a great show and were very loud tight and rocking for a small venue. I saw them prior in Montreal at the bell centre with Megadeth and Heaven In Hell which was one of the best shows. I actually do not care for Megadeth and enjoyed their set and they were tight.
Kill Hannah,Velvet Revolver,Alice In Chains, despite AiC having a different singer everything was still amazing and watching Jerry Cantrall play guitar is like nothing else and them and VR were loud as fuck.
I saw Opeth at Saratogo winners and they were loud and tight and are the only band who has pulled off decent sound at this place besides Morbid Angel.
The Devil Wears Prada,Chiodos and some other emo/core bands who I can't remember. I only went because a girl wanted me to go and the bands were pretty terrible.
I plan on seeing opeth at the Armory in albany NY May 18th.
One of my favorite shows was when seeing Gorguts when around 15 years old at Saratoga Winners and have two of Steve MacDonald's drum sticks. I've seen Satyricon and shitloads of bands and can't remember majority of them.. I've seen way to many punk/hardcore bands and notice do not remember their band names because they are generally the worst and most annoying live bands.

Yeah, me and a few friends were taking the train downtown a few years back to see Dimmu and we were the only metalheads on the whole train. The rest of the people on there were going to see the Rolling Stones. Had some interesting drunken conversations on the way home though.
You lucky summamabitch.Immortal in a little under two weeks for me cany fucking wait

Boosh!
Went to a concert tonight. Some metalcore bands, though I think one of them was a bit too heavy to be metalcore (Impending Doom). They were really good, but I find it funny how Christianity and slam dancing can ruin a perfectly good band. The lead singer had a pig squeal from the depths of hell, so that was good.
Unfortunately, for some reason, in the middle of their set they had this midget friend of theirs come on to the stage and talk about God loving us or something and their metal rating immediately dropped exponentially. Then at the end, after they had redeemed themselves with some damn good songs, they actually uttered the words "evolution doesn't exist." It filled me with the fiery passionate resentment of 1000 suns. This was stacked upon the endless slam dancers, which was another 1000 suns. That's like 2000 suns together. All in all, a 3 out of 10.

I'm going to Opeth but still... if you go to Opeth and sit through Arch Enemy/DevilDriver and then don't go to Deathfest. Gaay. ;p

Why would you pay to have the internet and a computer then come here and chat with mostly annoying people...?
Surely you could just do the same for free in real life and not bother anybody here.
"Who are you here to see?"
"DOKKEN!............JUDAS PRIEST!"
"What is that you're drinking?"
"Fuck, I don't know"
and my personal favorite...
"Where can we park?"
"Anywhere you want, man"
Also, if you got the DVD the Heavy Metal Basement feature is hilarious.

Just got back from seeing Averse Sefira, Belphegor, Immolation, and Rotting Christ.
- Averse Sefira's performance was good. Their set was way too short but they closed with 'Battle's Clarion' which was
- Belphegor is not my cup of tea. Their music was boring but they performed it extremely well.
- Immolation was amazing but they didn't play enough old shit. They did play 'Internal Decadence' which was times 1000.
- Rotting Christ's performance was decent before they started playing System of a Down cover songs. I only stayed for 4 songs. At least they played one off Triarchy of the Lost Lovers which was kind of cool.
