Was quite sweet. He is Legend sucked balls, Chimira was pretty good, Dragonforce was unbelieveable, and KsE was, as usuall, fucking awesome. Joel has the tone of the gods in his hands, for sure. I've got PLENTY of funny mosh pit stories to tell, but they'll have to wait 'till later today, for I am sweaty, tired, and bloody (not my blood, of corse. the story shall come later). Peter Wichers is playing guitar with them, Adam D. is still out from his back surgery a few months back. He was pretty awesome, great player. More to come later, gents.

Indeed. I had an extra ticket, and was going to offer it to you Ziel, but a friend of mine who couldn't go originally ended up going, so the ticket was no longer available.

Ohhh you bastard! I'd have busted his kneecaps!!! haha.
 
I would go to that show just to see Wichers play. Did he add in any solos to any of the songs?

:hys:

I like the fact that they play Caparisons, and have good tone...but their songs are just boring. A few of their older songs have some good riffs though. They need to start putting leads or solos in their songs, because I know both of them are decent enough lead guitarists to do so.
 
Joel can shread man! I really wish they'd put some leads in there songs, because Joel can really rip.
 
OK, mosh pit story time. We (Me, my friend Max, and my friend Chey) were about 3 rows back from the stage, in the middle-ish left of the stage. The pits ended up opening literally RIGHT behind me, so when I wasn't in the pit, I was being pushed around big time.

1. During He is Legend, someone threw a small black kid at me, and a caught him in my arms and yelled "DOES THIS BELONG TO ANYONE?" and threw him back. Was pretty funny.

2.Some guy BITCH SLAPPED me in the pit duing Chimera's set. I mean literally, open-hand slapped. I punched him in the face and broke his glasses, fucking jackass.

3. During Chimera, some doushe bag wearing a grey sweater was punching my friend max in the stomach, so I pushed him off and punched him a few times.

4. Circle pits were pretty awesome during DF. Kicked some ass, helped some dudes out, had lots of fun. They did a wall of death kinda deal before "Through The Fire And The Flames" which was pretty cool.

5. The Pits SUCKED during KsE. A large group of Denim Jacket wearing drunk 40+ year old idiots came up and ruined it. Just pushing everyone against the stage, causing most of the cool people to retreat to a more comfortable place. After 3 sets of brewtal moshing, me and my friend max were done. We stayed up near the stage for the first half of KsE's set, and then we went back further and got ourselves a nice comfortable spot. But, luckily, during Rose of Sharyn, A BAD ASS pit opened up right in front of me, so I went in.

6. During KsE's set, I had to drag someone out, cuz he was hurt pretty bad. Someone pushed him, and another guy headbutted him (jackass) and cut his eye open pretty bad. He obviously had a bit of a concussion, because he was talking complete jibberish. I dragged him out, propped him up against a wall, gave him a drink and some napkins and watched him for awhile. He was hanging on to my shoulder, and he passed out for a minute, was a pretty bad deal. I made him stand with me for the next few songs, and then he was fine. I saw him outside, laughing it off like everything was fine. Glad he was OK :).

After the show, they were handing out free No Fear Energy drinks. So I was grabbing some, and I turned around to find a single-file line behind me! Apparently, they thought I was handing them out, so I started handing them out!
 
Pits at the HOB can be pretty bad. I'm not a pitter by any means, so i steer clear.
 
sounds like a fun show, minus the pits. i dont mind people running around and bumping into each other, but slapping and punching and headbutting are just stupid (not saying youre stupid, saying the people who were punching and slapping you guys were stupid, and they got what was coming to them!)

i like to enjoy shows, not get roughed up. i stay as close as i can to the stage, but away from the pit. if thats no possible, i go further back so i can see everything thats going on.

sounds like you had a good time though, and thats what matters! props to helping that guy out...theres too little of that these days!
 
These days, I'd just bring a chainsaw into the pit and spin around like crazy showing off my "mad dance moves." Seems to be what people want.

I have to admit, the pits at the show were pretty good. There wasn't even one retard "hardcore dancing" or anything of that sort.
 
Right. I'd much prefer it if there were multiple incidents of people being attacked instead of there just being a few ass clowns flopping around, off in their own little world for me to laugh at.
