a quick little review of the bands we saw this weekend;
Celtic Frost : Doomie as allways..."Here stops the fun, we are Celtic Frost"
Very good gig again, slow new songs and faster old songs are well balanced throughout the show. The gig I saw in a small club last year was more intense I think, but still, great show.
Kreator : Vocals in the beginning were a bit off, but went better after a few songs. Lot of messing with the backdrop screen wich annoyed me alot, very unproffesional light guys !!
But music was okay, very hard, very fast, great public! Not my favorit band but far above avarage show!!
Masterplan : For those who were afraid Masterplan would die after Jorn left.; I can assure you they are NOT !! Great show, the whole sounded alot better (also read: heavier!) than the last Masterplan show with Jorn. The band sounds alot harder than the last period with Jorn, wich is a good thing. Vocals are good, new songs with song lines for DiMeo will improve the show though. Cool drumsolo from Terrana offcourse, one of the best metal drummers around for sure!
Saxon; The first 45 minutes I was thinking ; god damned, when are they gonna play a song I know ?? (okay, my interest in Saxon went away after Power & Glory or so and they did lots of songs of the new album) ... Luckely they heard my calls and there all the classics came !! Great show again,public went totally crazy ! I think except for "Strong arm of the Law" we got all the classics in this show that lasted over 2 houres.
So...4 great sold out gigs , hopefully more to come these months !
