Here's some notes from yesterday's show in Columbus, OH.
ATREYU - they were ok. not sure if I like them or not.
MAGNA-FI - Never heard of them. Nothing spectacular about these guys.
DARKEST HOUR - mix could have been better. not to bad though.
THROWDOWN - I was very impressed with their set. I had never heard of them before. I will be picking up their newest one.
GOD FORBID - loved their set. sounded great!
OTEP - chic can rock, but she rambles alot between songs.
UNEARTH - wonder what happened to them. I believe they were scheduled to open the show but they never played.
LACUNA COIL - Opened the day. I missed all but the last two songs. They sounded very good and the crowd seemed to enjoy them. I did like what little I heard.
DEVILDRIVER - I did not see them. Was off to see the rest of the sights.
BLEEDING THROUGH - I did not see them. Was off to see the rest of the sights
LAMB OF GOD - Very tight. These guys are awsome. New disc is out end of next month.
HATEBREED - They played a very good set. Crowd was really with these guys.
SLIPKNOT - I don't care for their music, but they do put on a great stage show. The second stage area was packed for these guys.
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY - set was way to short for my tastes. 4-5 songs not long enough
SUPERJOINT RITUAL - they were ok. a band that better suited for the club.
DIMMU BORGIR - I really don't know why they were on the main stage. They were ok but I like them better on disc.
SLAYER - what can I say they were Slayer. Kerry opened their set wearing that old spiked forearm thing.
JUDAS PRIEST - I can die a happy metal head now. Finally saw Priest live!!! They were on top of their game. New disc comes out end of the year/early next. Rob sounded like metal god that he is and the entire band sounded great. The crowd went ape shit.
BLACK SABBATH - First time seeing Ozzy in any form live. I'm not a huge Sabbath fan but they sounded great.
