While waiting in line I eavesdropped to hear a few metalheads discussing Machine Head's sound which interpreted as savvy yet experimental. Twelve days before this gig, "Burn My Eyes" hit the stores and went unnoticed. Their inimitable style of music just did not hold any water therefore no one could relate, but seeing numbers such as "Davidian", "A Thousand Lies", and "The Rage to Overcome" with the original recording lineup (including Chris Kontos & Logan Mader) remains a never forgetting experience.
Next up were Obituary whom were touring for their latest masterpiece 'World Demise' and with three successful albums on their resume, touring money was evident. A huge "End Complete" logo banner justified a strong presence along with the bat "T" shaped guitar amp covers. "Don't Care", "World Demise", "Dying", "Chopped In Half", & "Final Thoughts" were among my favorites.
Napalm Death was at their prime upon unleashing "Fear, Emptiness, Despair" to the world. Very early in the set saw the light of "Suffer The Children", then "Mass Appeal Madness", "I Abstain", upon moving to newer material like "Twist the Knife (Slowly)", "Plague Rages", and "State of Mind."
One of the best things about shows is getting to know the band members who portray a masked image as untouchable rockstars. Not the case with these guys. Mitch Harris, Barney Greenway, and Jesse Pintado (RIP) were ever so willing to take photos and sign autographs after the gig. This is the kind of attitude that reflects a band and their music.
