My neck is killing me. I saw the show in Baltimore on Wednesday and it totally kicked ass! I drove to Baltimore earlier in the day to beat the Beltway/ I95 traffic. I ended up bumping into Kerry King randomly in a CVS. I shook his hand and told him I'd see him later.

I'm not familiar with Anthrax but they put on a good show. Scott's Jackson's looked great, even though I'm not too keen on the gray/ black burst. I have to check my camera and see if any pictures came out. He mostly played his new signature guitar. He may have One of them had the "NOT" inlayed in on the FB with a Among the Living Graphic on it, I can't remember if it had a Floyd on it or not.

It was my first time seeing Megadeth so I was really stoked about seeing them. It was practically a flawless performance. I thought it was cool that towards the end of the performance Dave Mustaine had at some point removed his white button down shirt and was wearing a vintage Megadeth t-shirt. And as it was already mentioned Vic did make an appearance. Broderick is a beast as we all know, it was cool to see him in action. There was one retard in the crowd who was booing Dave towards the end of their set while he was bowing to the audience and he dealt with him accordingly. He also dedicated dedicated the song Head Crusher to him

Slayer was great, it's was hard to hear Jeff Hanneman's guitar playing though, other than that I have no complaints about the show. It was nice to hear Seasons in the Abyss in it's entirety as that is the firstalbum I had heard and introduced me to SLAYER!!! It was a great time! I'll take a look at my camera and see what if any pictures I can post up.

+1 who would want to be sitting down at a show like this?

My friend got tix at the Nassau colisieum in Long Island for Friday Oct 8.

I saw the show and it was damn good! Only heard the last few songs of Anthrax, they must’ve started at 7 pm on the dot, if not earlier. Megadeth was spot on. I saw them with Testament in Scranton a few months back, and even though it was a similar set, it was a killer similar set! The Broderick guy didn’t get nearly on my nerves since I was so far away that I couldn’t see how effortlessly he plays the solos!
Slayer. What can I say? Damn good, that’s what! Opening with the 1st track from their newest CD, then all older stuff was cool, hell, most of it was Seasons, which, to me, was the newer Slayer! No classic Araya headbanging, but not too surprised comin outta spinal surgery!

One complaint I had was that I could hardly hear Hanneman’s guitar. Maybe it was cos our seats were catercorner to him…we were on King’s side. I know the guitarists haven’t had monitor feeds of the others’ playing for years, but I didn’t think the whole crowd got this treatment! King’s playing was spot on.

Before the show, I met my friend at the local Hooters less than a mile from there. As we predicted a decent number of concert goers were there. I don’t frequent the chain and sometimes see families there. Just after we sat down about a dozen youths came in (all male) with the coolest mom ever chaperoning a birthday party! They couldn’t be older than 11 years old, and there were a couple clearly younger-aged kids there as well….I’m talking 8 or 9 years, tops. Is this standard kinda thing? I’ve seen college-aged kids doing some birthday thing at a Hooters but not this age group. Maybe I’m outta synch with being from the northeast as opposed to the south?…but this place was still in the northeast!…or is a Long Island thing? For what it’s worth, the mother looked like she used to work at the chain!

Going to the show in Milwaukee next Saturday. I saw Anthrax in Chicago when they got back together with Spitz and Belladonna, and saw them a few times in their heyday. Also saw them with Bush. They always put on a good show IMO.

Show in Milwaukee was packed last night. Anthrax was good and got the crowd going. I didn't care too much for a couple of the arrangements on the song. I think they were trying to give them a modern spin, and would've preferred they stuck with the old school arrangements.

Megadeth was the best band of the night. Seeing the whole Rust In Peace album performed live was just incredible. They even played Trust which I've never seen them perform live before. Dave broke out a double-neck V for Trust, and then closed the show using a Dean Explorer for the last 3 songs (two of the new album, and Peace Sells).

I caught the show at the War Memorial Colliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana on the 14th. All three bands looked and sounded awesome. Megadeth sounded better than they did 6 months ago on the 25th Anniversary tour just as they did 25 years earlier when I saw them. Slayer ruled the show hands down IMO. Its was good to see Anthrax again! Man I love metal.
