I saw the Evergrey/Iced Earth/CoB show last night. My second time seeing CoB live, at the Commodore here in Vancouver. I also saw them back in December with Dimmu, Nevermore, and Hypocrisy. They blew me away then, and they kicked even more ass this time.
CoB completely stole the show. I was right up against the barricade on the right side, and CoB layed down the greatest set. Some of the songs I can remember, not in order:
Hate Me!
Needled 24/7
Sixpounder
Angels Don't Kill
Silent Night, Bodom Night
Hate Crew Deathroll
Every Time I Die
There were a couple others, but I can't remember them. I knew all the songs though, and it was a better set than the last show. I was completely burned out after frantically headbanging during their entire set. I was right in front of Roope the whole time, his playing was amazing. Alexi spat water on us at one point too! The only downfall was that Alexi's guitar was way too quiet, I could barely hear his solos... and he had trouble with his axe at one point. They had to get him a new wireless unit, so Janne was goofing around on the keyboards for a minute while they fixed it. And before they started playing, Jaska had to come out and set up his own drums because the techs couldn't seem to get it right, haha.
Awesome show, Evergrey was very good too... Iced Earth was so-so, I'm not a big fan. I went to see CoB, and they definitely ripped.
Anyone that was there, or has been at shows before, I was wondering what the band was that they had playing over the PA before the show started? It was very cool.
