RE: General Gig Discussion

Glad you had a good night Mattie. I was toying with the idea of going to the Nottingham date, but in the end I decided the ticket price was a little high considering I'd only really be interested in Behemoth.

Suicide Silence aren't actually that bad. I think I'd enjoy them more than Trigger the Bloodshed haha

Matt Demon · Senior Member

I was speaking to the SS guitarist and bassist, them dudes actually know their death metal proper. They aint "posers" thats for sure. Even if they are a band that relies on "breakdowns" a fair share. But being a deathcore band is always going to divide opinion. Entertaining band thats for sure.

I wonder how Trigger will get received at the Cannibal Corpse shows. Hmmm.

Podgie · Senior Member

Yeah, I know Alex from Cannibal Corpse thinks highly of Suicide Silence. I've only heard a few of their songs and while I don't really like them, I really don't hate them.

I would've thought Trigger would go down quite well with the Cannibal crowd, but I don't think I'll get to the Sheffield gig I was considering to go to. I don't have anyone to tag along with, and I don't know Sheffield. At all.

Matt Demon · Senior Member

Thats a shame man. I would go even if I had to go alone but then again, Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus is something Im not missing for anybody!

Podgie · Senior Member

Yeah, I do really want to go... but I'll get chance to see Cannibal again, soon-ish. I'm sure.

Matt Demon · Senior Member

I wanted to go to the Sheffield show as well (so I could have possibly gone with you) but I didn't book it up properly or anything.

Yeah hopefully they come back next year.

Podgie · Senior Member

Yeah man, I'm sure they'll be touring Evisceration Plague (Which I still need to buy...) for another few months at least. Hopefully they'll play over here again before they break.

EDIT - To be honest there's still part of me who's tempted to go to that Sheffield show...

The Haunted have been announced as the support act for Slayer's European tour. They're also cancelling their UK just before the Slayer one though.

Thats not bad. But I still wouldnt pay over the odds to see them both.

Absu tonight!!!! smile

Podgie · Senior Member

You're going to love it mate. They were absulutely stunning last night in Nottingham. Proscriptor was REALLY excited about the first show ever in the UK, and it really came across in his playing. He's intense. I've never seen anyone drum like that live, while also doing lead vocals. He's the ****ing man.

The set was great, they didn't play Amy from the new album (which I was really hoping they would) but I can't complain, the new songs they did play were amazing. I got the opportunity to speak to Proscriptor briefly and I told him that Absu was undoubtedly the album of the year for me. (He was very happy about that haha)

Christhammer · Senior Member

I did indeed love it, brilliant gig! I also ended up talking to Proscriptor (when I bought my tour shirt) though I didn't realise it was him at the time! biggrin

There were a few "celebrities" there last night actually, the comedian Steve Hughes (who used to be in Slaughter Lord and Mortal Sin) was there and that "Satanic Slut" bint who shagged Russell Brand was there too.

Im seriously depressed.

These FUCKING CUNTS!!!

I went to school with the prats in After Death. They are a horrendous band, complete tripe. In no way are they suitable to play with Master. I hope the good people of South America do the honourable thing and murderlise them. Seriously listen to them, this is a ****ing disgrace. I might have to have a quiet qord in old Specker's shell, like.

Christhammer · Senior Member

They will have bought themselves onto the tour, that's how Speckmann keeps Master touring. Not enough people go to their shows to pay for their touring so there's always at least 2 buy-ons to open the gigs.

Madden · Senior Member

They have no clue who Master are. It must have been their label's doing. After Death are so piss poor that its actually funny. And the saddest thing is they've been together about 5 or 6 years.

Is anyone going to the Sonata Arctica gig on the 3rd of December at Islington Academy?

Storm of Damnation · Senior Member

Gama Bomb are touring at the moment, I might go to the Nottingham date because it's very close and I'm sure it would be fun.

Christhammer · Senior Member

Going to see H.O.D. on Thursday and it's Blacker Than Night on Sunday which should be fun. Really looking forward to the Dio gig at the end of the month too

The Mastodon/Dethklok gig was a blast...although the first two bands sucked ass and the hubby almost got into a fight. My husband said we have a rule now if we go to the House of Blues for a show, we're always going late unless it's a friend's band that's opening, because the first band is always touch and go...and the second will inevitably, epically suck.

Good times though...
