I drove from Phoenix, Az for this show! The show was absolute Metal, the crowd was rabid, energetic and loud! All three bands put on a great show. Funny thing is I had a few beers by the time Megadeth hit the stage, and I got a bit brave and entered the Mosh Pit! It was beyond exhilarating! Talk about tension relief! I can't wait for the American Carnage Tour in August here at home in the AZ, I got my tickets already!

Its hard to remember since I was trying to get myself out of the pit or off the ground most of the set. I must say these guys dang near stole the show.<br /><br />Testament were stellar but I wasnt feeling the whole legacy album that night. Perhaps it was the drain from the exodus set before. The band was on fire as they have been each time Ive seen them. Glen Drover especialy did a great job of filling in for Alex Sklonick. Coing out to support were Kerry King and John Tempesta at stage side during their set. <br /><br />Megadeth is well Megadeth can they do any wrong? of course but it didnt happen that night. They ripped through the set and I remember them sounding and looking great playing. Chris was shredding like always, David layed down some awesome bass with a rather familiar Jackson bass circa the RIP era.<br />Shawn's playing was super tight and his RIP inspired drums were a nice touch. Dave stil impresses me every time I see him play. He can rip like no other but like a good bandmate he knows when to let the other guys have the limelight. Just another reason why I repect the guy so much. Long live Megadeth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859644477029760285.post-90012696906201565312010-04-05T21:44:51.198-07:002010-04-05T21:44:51.198-07:00I really want to know more about the Exodus/Testam...I really want to know more about the Exodus/Testament sets. Both those bands have put out new records that are, say, 10,000 times better than the latest Metallica offering. I'm going through a recent Exodus phase, actually, and considered going down just to see them open.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859644477029760285.post-69400782431698217752010-03-02T16:31:13.306-08:002010-03-02T16:31:13.306-08:00Gave a couple tracks a listen on Rhapsody.

The ultra-compressed production contributes to the Kelly Clarksonish/souless nature of it, but that is the nature of that type of pop-oriented style where you try to put the vocalist front and center in an otherwise distorted, hard driving rhythm section. <br /><br />It has an 80's sensibility to it. Almost a Pat Benatar feel to it -only she doesn't quite have the independence to get the Benatar results. As you state, she probably has a lot of handlers making decisions for her that results in a contrived, hollow pop product a la Pink.<br /><br />However, the fact that she is laying down her own tasty guitar licks really makes you want to like her. She is still young. My guess is that she will take ownership of her artistic direction in a few years and we'll see some unique, quality music from her.Hamgrenadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777345931940578314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859644477029760285.post-80597664462212222802010-02-03T23:22:50.899-08:002010-02-03T23:22:50.899-08:00thank you so much for the kind words - you don'...thank you so much for the kind words - you don't know how much it means coming from you - the record is available on itunes - all the best <br /><br />--the "sound of reason"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839696528222088557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859644477029760285.post-92031863388027171072010-02-03T21:12:01.100-08:002010-02-03T21:12:01.100-08:00Doh!
