First off, I'm gonna' give a little crappy review since I don't think I'm too good at reviews... but either way. Anyways, me and my girlfriend got there at about 8, just when doors are supposed to open, and they didn't end up opening 'till about quarter to 9, which was a little late. The Opera House was packed. It was hard just to move around.. nearly impossible. The merch was set up at the worst place, right beside the bar, so all the people with beer got their cups knocked down or something because of the merch people. The shirts were 35, and the sweaters were 60. Everything was nice, and they had the 'AYDY' shirts in longsleeve and shortsleeve. And now onto the music.
First out was Amon Amarth, and they rocked! They looked like Iceland people, and I've never heard them too much before, but they blew me away! I ended up buying their cd I liked 'em so much. After Amon Amarth got off, Trivium came on. I've heard mixed feelings for this band, because they're just 'screamo' type thing, but they weren't too bad. The only problem I had was that the lead singer looked like a monkey.. especially when he screamed his lyrics. All in all, they were pretty good, except the lead singer kept tellin the crowd to get in a circle pit, which I heard he does at every concert. "Get a f*cking circle pit going! Bang our heart out! blah blah"... it just ends up getting annoying... and then Bodom.
Wow, need I say more? They came out, and right away dived into living dead beat, Alexi screaming his heart out every single verse... everyone playing everything so perfectly. The rest of the show was excellent, Alexi ended up spitting on the crowd and I think they liked it :S... either way, the pit was insane, tons of people jumping and knocking each other out, just the way you'd expect it at a Bodom concert. All in all Bodom whooped ass, and I would LOVE to see them again soon. Alexi played all of the solos perfectly, and they ended up playing about 16 songs and 2 solos. Very good set too. I ended up getting a copy of the setlist and a bottle of water from a 'security' dude, and the setlist is as follows:
Living Dead Beat
Sixpounder
Silent Night, Bodom Night
Hate Me!
In Your Face
Angels Don't Die
drum solo
Follow the Reaper
Lake Bodom
Needled 24/7
Keyboard and Guitar solos
We're Not Gonna' Fall
Hatecrew Deathroll
Are You Dead Yet?
They went backstage for a minute, and everyone started chanting Bodom louder than anything I've ever heard, I think everyone in the venue was screaming. They came back out and played 3 songs as 'encores'.
Chokehold
Everytime I Die
Downfall
They then threw all their shit into the crowd, picks, drum sticks, bottles of water, everything, crumpled up setlists, and the lot. They stayed on stage for about 10 minutes thanking the crowd, and once that was done, a Beastie Boys song came on the PA, and Alexi was singing it into the mic, and it sounded cool to hear "You Gotta' Fight, For Your Right, To Party!" in a metal voice. Anyways, the concert was F*cking fantastic, and I would definitely go again. Bodom fans, you will not be dissappointed, and if you haven't heard of Amon Amarth, you've got another top 10 favourite band to add to your list, and if you ahve heard of amon amarth, good for you, they kick ass.
Love peace and hair grease.
