I saw this show here in Utah last week. A couple of my sales managers took me and had a good time.
- Missed He Is Legend. No opinion.
- Chimera was much better than I thought but the mix was a bit off. The guy on the turntable was crazy. I will admit that I never thought I would go to a show ever where a member of the band played a turntable. Kind of ghey!
- Dragonforce bored me beyond belief! I guess they can play but every song sounded like the soundtrack to a Legend of Zelda game (quite literally). I would be fine never hearing them again! Vocalist was okay.
- Killswitch sounded great. Played a great set and ended the show with a cover of Dio's Holy Diver. Very cool!
BTW, Winchers was playing a Les Paul style of guitar. I think it was an ESP Eclipse. Good playing from he and Joel. Both of them were playing Rectifiers. I couldn't see any amps from where I was standing but it sounded like Mesa and I caught a glimpse of a Mesa footswitch.

I never saw the point in going to a gig for the moshpit especially with quotes such as "he open-palm slapped me in the face so I punched him in the face and broke his fucking glasses"
Dragonforce recently said in an interview they've started really woodshedding and practicing... I guess they are if you said that they played well

It's obvious DF have really knuckled down and worked, because they were REALLY on that night. I've seen vids of them in the past, and they were absolutley terrible.Chud":11b67 said:I never saw the point in going to a gig for the moshpit especially with quotes such as "he open-palm slapped me in the face so I punched him in the face and broke his fucking glasses"

ESP Eclipse...what the fuck? I guess he didn't feel like tuning his Angelus to Drop C.

Winchers was playing a gloss black ESP Eclipse, and Joel a Caparison Dillinger. I was hoping they would play Holy Diver, but they didn't. They played This Fire Burns instead, which is a kickass song as well, so it was fine by me.

AHHA! I've found an error in my information. The guy above me is correct, it wasn't Peter last night, it was Patrick Lachman, formerly of Damageplan. Peter did the tour earlier in the year apparently. I apologize for the mixup!Megadeth7684":7decb said:

Oh yeah, and to the guy that said that Chimaira has a turntable dude...Not true. Chris Spicuzza is the resident "noise guy", but uses a variety of synths, MIDI controllers and KAOSS pads, but no turntable...

not so different from the slam pits of the early 80's punk scene, which by the way is where all of this came from. the first slam i instigated was 83, when i handed the dj at our school dance "jealous again" by black flag, on vinyl.
about 15 of us punkers surrounded the biggest football player at our school and pinged him around like a pachinko ball.
he got so humiliated, he put his head down and charged the ring.
this little french kid stepped at him like he was going to go head to head with him, and at the last possible instant leapt to the side with an "OLE!"
jock speared an innocent freshman girl carrying a cup of punch full force into the PA speakers and broke her right arm.
when a friend took me to HOB for BLS, one of the guys i went with got his jaw broken while trying to help a mosh victim. may have been vince sansevere serving up one of his patented sweep kicks...who could know for sure...
i was right up front with zach wylde spilling budweiser on me, and marvelling at why anyone would spit straight in the air only to have it land on his own head, when some small bald dude snuggled next to me and started humping my leg
, so i quickly diffused the situation with a strategically placed knee strike to said junk.
people are strange, make no bones about it.

Well, Mosh Pits can be fun, and they can be stupid. It just depends on who's there and how their acting.
