I hate you...not really but, seeing those 2 bands live today, thats a hate-able act...

[EphelDuath666]

at the With Full Force Festival I have recently seen:

Meshuggah: they were awesome as a really awesome thing
Ministry: that gig was even better than the first Ministry gig I have seen. It was great. Probably the best concert I have seen that weekend.
Mayhem: musically they were great but the stage performance was boring and 0% controversial.
Machine Head: A surprisingly good show. I'm no fan of their latest Album and in general am no big MH fan anymore. But it was a pretty good show.
Bullet For My Valentine: I didn't like it at all. They played before MH did.
In Flames: They were OK. They didn't blow me away or anything but it was an OK show.
Morbid Angel: really enjoyed their show. The horrible sound of their Albums has always kept me from giving them much of a chance but live they had a kick ass sound and they indeed slayed.

Pretty much agree with all of this ^


Plus: Job For A Cowboy were OK, Converge were fucking great... and I quite enjoyed Volbeat

Saw Nunchukka Superfly 2 sundays in a row now. they were fucking brilliant. theyre an experimental punk rock band and when i say experimental i mean really fucked up. ill be seeing them next sunday as well

Morbid Angel in Glasgow, my golly, best gig this year anyway, perfect set list, awesome crowd banter and sleevless pvc shirts with a pentagram on them always win kudos points

Damn I need to catch them live now with Vincent back and all... Did they play any new songs?

God, I guess it was Iron Maiden back in May. They tore the sun apart.

Ministry in Warsaw. This almost made up the fact I lost the Meshuggah gig, Ministry were awesome. Al Jourgensen is living charisma and band is supertight, moshpit was cyclone sized at certain points. Setlist was made mainly of newer, lets-fuck-bush stuff, with So What, Just One Fix, NWO and Thieves on encore but even with lack of many of my favourite oldies gig was crushing. Band's got rather warm response from the crowd - I've seen at two bras landing on stage, I think there were also pants flying towards the scene at some moment. It's sad I can't recommend them for future as this is their "goodbye" tour, but holy shit, that was awesome farewell. Ministry, I salute you.

Apologies for your mouse scrolls, here are some shots my bro made (risking his life):



Here's Sin the guitar guy with bra:



And Alien Jourgensen himself:

And here's So What

I'm going to see Devo tomorrow night.

Cynic was glorious. They have new growly guitarist and touring bassist (dude was on fire, managed to broke his guitar strap and hit someone's camera phone with headstock of his bass, ace), Paul Masvidal is man of quiet charisma and mad guitar skillz, and Sean Reinert is well, Sean Reinert. Setlist contained all Focus songs, four new ones (good ones!) and bit of improvisation played whilst bassist changed his strap. At least they didn't have problem with choosing songs for setlist . Bonus - after the gig entire band went to the merch stand and hanged there, patiently enduring thousands of souvenir photos and signing. Superb musicianship and really good vibrations.

A few photos I took (apologies)

And two youtubes

Clutch, about 3 hours ago. Absolutely phenomenal. Also, the sweatiest venue I've ever been to

I attended 3 festivals over the past 3 weeks...yes that is one festival per week...and saw bands such as Opeth, Iron Maiden, Negura Bunget, At the Gates, Cult of Luna, Textures, Behemoth (twice), Keep of Kalessin, Bloodbath, Rotten Sound and others and they all were great. Now I'm dead!

oh how i hate you and envy you

I saw Textures, Pain of Salvation and Opeth in one night. Well worth the free ticket

Yesterday I had the pleasure to enjoy an (again, free) Anathema gig with Kivenkantaja. He's such an very nice guy
