Lots of Jacksons at Amon Amarth last night

[Inazone]

Granted, the Amon guys were using Gibsons like they usually do, but Belphegor and Ensiferum were using Jacksons, and I'm pretty sure one of the guys from The Absence had one as a backup. I was way in the back for most of the show, but did see a few of the guitars being put in cases during loadout, so details were sparse. There was either an RR24 or KBRR with red bevels, a DKMG, a DR3, and a USA Soloist or Dinky.

I wasn't familiar with Ensiferum at all, and Belphegor only a very little bit, but the guitar sound was killer for both of them and for Amon Amarth. The Absence's guitars were too low in the mix, but I chalk that up to them being the openers.

Nice to know... Any pics?

I'm not familiar with the other bands, but Amon Amarth kick fucking ass. I saw them a few years ago opening for Children of Bodom. Amon Amarth stole the fucking show.

Nice looking guitar! I wish he'd have had a top on though.

Sorry, no pics. Lots of sweaty, pasty beer bellies.

When I saw them a few years ago, I thought the same thing about the singer from Amon Amarth, a pasty beer belly. He had no shirt and was drinking from some kind of animal horn. He had a holster on his hip for the horn.
