| Dethklok/Mastodon:October 21st, 2009. State Theatre. |
[Oct. 22nd, 2009|09:26 am] |
Mastodon: Sounded incredible. They played the entire Crack the Skye album like they did when they headlined last, but I didn't go to that show, so it was
pretty badass. Then encored a song from the previous albums and did a cover of the Melvins "The Bit". Brann Dailor was a little off a few times, but with
all the complex parts of the songs that they have it's ok to mess up a few times. Not alot were to noticeable. So all is well.
Setlist:
1.)Oblivion
2.)Divinations
3.)Quintessence
4.)The Czar
5.)Ghost of Karelia
6.)Crack the Skye
7.)The Last Baron
Encore:
8.)Circle Cysquatch
9.)Aqua Dementia
10.)Where Strides the Behemoth
11.)Mother Puncher
12.)The Bit (Melvins Cover)
Dethklok: Was amazing, the songs came across strong and powerful live. Having Gene Hoglan really helps that. That guy is a beast.
The bass player and guitar player played up to par. Brandon Small was great. Even at the end of the set when he was doing the voices of Pickles, Nathan, and Skwisgaar.
Amusing stuff, the backing video was fun and entertaining as well.
But there was a fun video during the set up with Brutal Legend being Dethklok's roadie that was amusing.
Setlist:
1.)DethTheme
2.)Bloodlines
3.)Burn The Earth
4.)Hatredcopter
5.)Black Fire Upon Us
6.)Birthday Dethday
7.)Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle
8.)DethSupport
9.)Awaken
10.)The Gears
11.)Murmaider
12.)Thunderhorse
Encore:
13.)Go Into The Water
14.)Fansong
Got there late and gladly missed the two opening bands (heard some of converge..and after hearing it, i was good with not watching them on top of that)
Mastodon/Dethklok well worth the price of admission. |

[Oct. 12th, 2009|10:36 am] |
| [ | music |
| | Paramore: Brick By Boring Brick. | ] |
Got there late, missed the Swellers, which I can definitly live with.
Paper Route, has the least talented drummer I've ever seen, Each song was exactly the same. There is definitly a formula they have to writing songs, and I'm just not having it.
Paramore, was pretty good, as far as pop music goes. I love my guilty pleasure band. For Hayley getting over her illness, she sounded incredibly. The band was crisp, and on. Show was a little short compared to shows I'm used to seeing, But they did play 16 songs, just there songs are an average of 3.5 minutes long, so it happens. Great show though, I would love to see them cover Iron Maiden, Hayley could totally pull off a badass Bruce Dickinson impression.
Setlist:
1.) Intro
2.) Ignorance
3.) I Caught Myself
4.) That's what you get
5.) Looking Up
6.) Emergency
7.) Crush Crush Crush
8.) Turn It Off
9.) Here We Go Again
10.) Careful
11.) Conspiracy
12.) Where The Lines Overlap
13.) Decode
14.) Misguided Ghosts
15.) Misery Business
16.) Brick By Borning Brick |

| KISS-September 26th, 2009 |
[Oct. 5th, 2009|07:16 am] |
What could have been the very last show ever played at Cobo Hall. Kiss made history by playing two back to back shows.
Buckcherry, opened the show. While not thrilled about that, we did miss half their set awaiting to get into the show. The mix wasn't great either. We only heard about 4-5 songs. They closed with "Sorry" and then "Crazy Bitch". Which weren't completely horrible.
Then...
KISS!: Paying homage to KISS ALIVE album, they played alot of songs off of that album. along with other choice classics. The on stage antics were fun and incredible. Seeing Paul Stanley fly through the crowd before they played "Love Gun". The Guitar and Drum solos were fun. Gene with his Fire blowing, Blood drinking and all that. First time seeing KISS, and I'm glad as hell I went, it was a fun time.
Setlist:
1. Deuce
2. Strutter
3. Got To Choose
4. Modern Day Delilah
5. Hotter Than Hell
6. Com'n and Love Me
7. Parasite
8. She - Guitar Solo
9. Watchin' You
10. 100,000 Years- Drum Solo
11. Cold Gin
12. Black Diamond
13. Rock & Roll All Nite
ENCORE:
14. Shout It Out Loud
15. Lick It Up
16. I Love It Loud
17. Let Me Go Rock 'n' Roll
18. Love Gun
19. Detroit Rock City
Stellar closing song choice, amazing show. To see two roughly sixty year old jews fly in the air, amazing. |

| Coheed and Cambria/Heaven and Hell |
[Aug. 22nd, 2009|03:55 am] |
Coheed and Cambria:Started off with a bang, destroying through the first two songs. But it seems like they were trying to feed off the live crowd, and the crowd just wasn't into them. The majority of the people in the venue when Coheed started were wearing Coheed shirts, so you think they would be all into it. But there was roughly 3 people in the pavilion standing the whole time for C&C The band couldn't get into the rest of the set sadly. Though they only played for about 50 minutes they were still great. Just thought the crowd should have gave them more.
Setlist:
1.)No World For Tomorrow
2.)Gravemakers and Gunslingers
3.)In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3
4.)10 Speed
5.)The End Complete III/The Trooper
6.)Al The Killer
7.)Welcome Home
8.)The Final Cut
Heaven and Hell: It was at the start of their set that we had realized they seem to be one of those bands the surpresses the sound of the opening band. They were way louder than Coheed was. Which is upsetting, but besides losing some respect for them their show was well played and for guys well into their 50's/60's it was still great. Except the "drum solo", kind of not impressive
Setlist:
1.)The Mob Rules
2.)Children of the Sea
3.)I
4.)The Bible Black
5.)Time Machine
6.)Drum Solo
7.)Fear
8.)Falling Off The Edge of the World
9.)Follow The Tears
10.)Die Young
11.)Heaven and Hell
Encore:
12.)Country Girl/Neon Knights. |

[May. 25th, 2009|03:48 pm] |
Enslaved: Pretty enjoyable, not to familiar with their body of work. BUT the show last night did make me intrigued to dwelve into it.

Setlist:
Heir Apparent
Ghost of Perdition
Godhead's Lament
*Soldier of Fortune* Snippet
Wreath
Karma

Funny Moments:
While introducing the band, Mikael had Fredrick do a "classic rock move"..Which was the classic rock back slide..He played a lick and quickly stuttered stepped moving backwards. Funny as hell when you see it.
"I sucked my own cock last night"-MA
"This place used to be a church right?..That's ironic when you worship satan!"-MA
"Does it sound good out there, cause we don't know. We only know what it sounds like up here. Let me tell you...It sounds like shit"-MA
After the crowd sing the verse of Drapery Falls:
"That was really good..you guys sang in tune. Like I do!"-MA
"Iron Maiden..Judas Priest...Iron Maiden.. *Fan in Audience..SLLLAAYYYEEERRR*...I never really liked Slayer..the only thing I remotely liked by them is Season in the Abyss...is that a good record for you?...I'm much more of a MetallicA guy...But in the 80's my favorite band was the Scorpions..Still are today."MA
"That...is the Swedish Steve Harris..Mr. Martin Mendez"-MA
There was more and if I remember I'll put them in later. |

| Cradle of Filth/Satyricon/Septic Flesh |
[Jan. 24th, 2009|01:50 am] |
I hate local bands, I hate drunk bitches, I hate drunk douche bags, I hate "know-it-all" drunks, and fat bitches that aren't aware of there surrondings and how big they really are.
Now that I got that out of the way, this show was amazingly good.
Septic Flesh, your typically blast beats fast guitars, and low growling. From Greece. Kind of pissed me off though..they played to a back track. Which if it was just the keyboard parts, that would be fine. But even the few parts were there was actually singing, it was on the back track and not the singer singing it. Just lazy douche baggery.
Satyricon. TITS SO FUCKING TITS. Frost is an AMAZING drummer, fuck that guy, seriously. Cool to meet him, dude is phenominal.
Setlist:
1. Repined Bastard Nation
2. The Wolfpack
3. Now, Diabolical
4. Black Crow On a Tombstone
5. K.I.N.G.
6. Fuel For Hatred
7. Die By My Hand
8. Mother North
Cradle of Filth, stellar, sadly didnt play anything off of thornography or damnation and a day, which is upsetting. But still pretty good set, with the usual classics. Met Dani, Dave and Rosie after.
Setlist:
1. In Granduer And Frankincense Devilment Stirs
2. Shat Out of Hell
3. Guilded Cunt
4. Dusk and Her Embrace

| MetallicA, Machine Head, The Sword |
[Jan. 14th, 2009|05:56 pm] |
The Sword was pretty good, the mix was off, but wasn't very noticeable since they don't have many lyrics in there songs from what I've noticed
Machine Head. The Mix being off was more apparent. Any time Adam Duce sang along with Rob Flynn it was terrible since Adam Duce's voice is more overpowering than Rob's. But when Rob was singing by himself it was ok. Though I couldn't understand anything Rob said during the first song, So I'm not sure what the fuck it was.
Setlist:
1.Now I Lay Thee Down?
2.Imperium
3.Beautiful Mourning
4.Hallowed Be Thy Name
5.Halo
6.Davidian
MetallicA:Amazing. James sounded amazing, the music was on. Lars totally sucked at the double bass, but no one should be surprised by Lars sucking at drums, even he knows he sucks.
Setlist:
1.That Was Just Your Life
2.The End Of The Line
3.Creeping Death
4.For Whom The Bell Tolls
5.One
6.Broken, Beat, and Scarred
