Saw the show in Norfolk a few nights ago. In a word....Awesome. Children of Bodom played 2nd, I've been waiting to see them live for about 5 or 6 yrs and they didn't disappoint. Alexi's ESP, the black one, glows in the Fu**in' dark man! I wish they would have played more of their older stuff though. I don't know what gear they were using, I was very close but the way the stage was set up was difficult to tell. All I saw was Marshall Cabs and rack gear. Watching their keyboard player is most impressive. Fear Factory was up next and they just totally crushed. They played all their better songs from every album, even Soul of a New Machine. Their new guitarist is just as good if not better than Dino. All I saw were 3 fulls stacks of Mode Four cabs. Their guitarist used various custom Jackson seven strings all night, he even had a custom 7 string Rhoads that really looked cool. Nothing but getting your ass kicked when they took stage. Lamb of God headlined because VA is their home state. Mesa Stacks (the brown ones) and Framus stacks, I never saw any heads, must have been around back but they sounded identical to their new album and played any Lamb of God song you would want to hear. I gotta say that this was the best metal show I've been to and I have been to quite a few, if you get a chance to catch this tour....go.

How is Throwdown...they sound closest to whom ?
They don't have those ghey clean whiny vox do they ...I hate that ...or do they keep it heavy like LOG!!!

No clean vocals, no solos to speak of, but just heavy grooves and riffs. They're more hardcore than metal and are kinda like a hammer smacking you in the face repeatedly. I'm not so sure that you'd like them Bill, but they're one of my favorite bands.Comment

throwdown, heavy?

Re: throwdown, heavy?
I saw them last week in NYC. Throwdown sucked, during their whole set everyone was chanting for Bodom except for like the 4 guys in Throwdown t-shirts. They got a good responce when they played Sepultura's Roots but that's about it. Even the singer had to comment on the audience busting his balls.
COB slayed, FF slayed, FF slayed. Other than Throwdown it was a perfect show. I moshed for all 4 bands, got my ass kicked, got drunk, got stones and got a couple chicks numbers. It ranks pretty highly in my list of my favorite concerts ever.I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn RandComment

Re: throwdown, heavy?
I'll check into Throwdown ..I must hear them to judge them fairly!
LOG was using my Marshall setup...The JMP-1 and Marshall Poweramp...cool!!
Well I really like their tone on the albums ...and I always liked my Marshalls..very cool! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]"Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

Re: throwdown, heavy?
www.trustkill.com ...plenty of Throwdown stuff there. Honestly I think they're a little out of place on this tour...maybe Himsa would've been a better choice. But I'll stand by Throwdown, with Tommy back on the road with them I'm sure they're even better than when I saw them.Comment

Re: throwdown, heavy?
Well, lucky for Throwdown they even got to be able to tag along on this tour. It should get their name out. They really weren't my thing, but they did have some heavy, grooves. Still, just another dropped tuning hardcore band though.Check my Jackson themed Myspace page, hear some good metal, and check out a little shred fest by me.

Re: throwdown, heavy?
I was also at the NY show. Bodom was awsome, but I was a little dissapointed. Lotta new stuff (which is great), but not enough of the old stuff. Nothing off of Something Wild. It's to be expected though, they got where they are from that new album, so might as well push it as hard as you can. Roope stopped by my place of work and I got to talk to him for a few min. Nice guy. No new Sinergy for a little while either. Had to push back the recording sessions to make room for the new Bodom recordings. All in all, kick ass show.
