Children Of Bodom

[MRDuCran]

I think it's "Yane", or "Yan". I'm pretty sure the Norwegian "J" sound is the English "Y" sound. Don't quote me though.

Oops...:p

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I agree with high_voltage and Bobo.

Thanks for sending Trashed Lost In Helsinki laiho :thumb:

[I'm Charming]

The new Age of Silence EP has copy right protection on it as well.

There will always be a way around these things though.

And yea, I also found the parental advisory sticker to be amusing as well since I some how found the cd in a Fred Myers of all places.

Copy right protection?

It that the thing they put in the CD content to block burning it?

You prolly could rip it into iTunes as mp3 or something and burn it.

That's great but they are from Finland not Norway :p

[Toaster]

Yeah, but I don't know anything about the Finnish language.. I would think they're similar.

[Poofy 666]

I say "Janny". His full name also reminds me of the porn star, Jenna Jameson.
mmmm....Jenna Jameson :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

At least Dimmu have better production and symphonics and have more complex and interesting structures. Sure they sold out, and because they did their music is irrelevant, people just hate what they did and their image. Half the people who like AYDY are the metalcore people who like all the NWOAHM crap, so it's no wonder that they say CoB have improved because the new CoB style suits them better because it is easier to relate to. They say that moving from classical-inspried music (yes CoB have Mozart and other composers melodies in some of their earlier songs) to NWOAHM style music is an improvement.

AYDY gets 5/10 from me. Without Jannes good key lines it would be a 3.


you said it man... i agree 100%. i mean some songs are allright...
the song Are You Dead Yet? sounds ALOT like metalcore to me.. in the verses anyway. either, that song isnt great.

Living Dead Beat, Next In Line, Trashed Lost & Strungout and We're Not Gonna Fall are the best ones. even there, they dont compare at all to the older stuff. i'd say Bastards of Bodom but the song gets pretty boring. the only good riff is the cheesy thing at the beginning.

I doubt cob will ever play to their full potential again, so for now im going to enjoy hatebreeder and follow the reaper.

That song is so far from sounding like metalcore :-\

[Shadows]

Agreed, I don't understand at all where these metalcore comparisons are coming from. God forbid a band should tune to drop C and be anything but metalcore.

I don't think Alexi is doing any of those things you mentioned. Stepping down in technicality? Not in the least. He may place less emphasis on lead guitar and not use any classical elements, but listen to the riffing. They're probably more technical then anything he's done in the past.

Outside this thread, there is no fanboyism really. I read around and all I hear about is how it sucks, which does irritate me. I would like the music no matter what artist put it out because it appeals to me, but because it was done by CoB. I haven't heard a single NWOAHM person say they improved with the new album like you said. All I see are a lot of people who lost faith in them and a core group of old fans who still like it.

But instances like these only support my theory that many people will hate anything a band puts out if it's a drastic change from their old style.

I for one, am not like this. I just find this album to be extremely bland and boring, nothing is really memorable for me on the album. It goes through one ear and out the other, which is a sign to me that it isn't very good from my perspective.

I also agree on the metalcore comments about the album, I don't see where those come from.

Anywho...

I got back from the show, and Children of Bodom were good and all, but the crowd spoiled the show for me.

[blue3]

How did the crowd spoil the show..?

[Forlorn Hope]

How did the crowd spoil the show..?
there was nothing the crowd could have done to spoil the show for me...that show was awesome in every way...at least the one i went to was

[I'm Charming]

I saw CoB last night (in portland) with trivium and amon amarth.
It was amazing. Alexi is just as good live as on CD. During CoB I was right up against the stage with only a couple people ahead me (didn't matter I'm 6'3 I can see over anyone lol)

The show was insane.

Amon Amarth was really good. Plain heavy, no lead though. They played I think 5 or 6 songs, and ended with this one called "Death by fire". It was really good.

Trivium was as advertised you could say.

Heafy told people to get violent even though half the crowd was 12 13 and 14 KIDS. I guess start em young.
I flipped off Heafy and the lead guitarist everytime they looked my way.
Inbetween songs I and a few people near my yelled things like,

"play slayer"
"we want real metal"
etc
Trivium hit alot of bum notes on their solos, and the songs were played so heavy they sounded like a mess.

F on the report card.

Children of Bodom. Wow.
Everything was top notch.

They played "are you dead yet". Which made me happy.

They didn't play.
"mask of sanity" "Warheart" "bed of razors"

I'm not complaining but those would have been nice too!
ha.

The keyboard playing was great and they did a soloing dual which was neat.

All in all.

It's worth my ears still ringing and my neck barely able to move!

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Amon Amarth was really good. Plain heavy, no lead though. They played I think 5 or 6 songs, and ended with this one called "Death by fire". It was really good.

Amon Amarth was by far the best band on the bill, they should have had more time to play. Viking metal > all

And they play melodic death metal by the way.

And what do you mean no lead?

Trivium was as advertised you could say.

Heafy told people to get violent even though half the crowd was 12 13 and 14 KIDS. I guess start em young.
I flipped off Heafy and the lead guitarist everytime they looked my way.


This is the reason the crowd spoiled the show for me, there was a ton of little kids there trying to think they were some hardcore metal fan, it was annoying.

That and the fact there was to many people at the venue made it body to body in the standing area since every one was a retard and has to either push forward or backwards so they can get closer to the band.

It was like that the whole time through Bodom, and it spoiled the show as I could not even watch them play.

And the amount of people that showed up for Amon Amarth really pissed me off. The shows usually don't fill up until the second band hits, the place was half full by the time the gates were open for a half hour...

Children of Bodom. Wow.
Everything was top notch.

The keyboard playing was great and they did a soloing dual which was neat.



That soloing duel was quite boring, as it lasted way to long then it should have.

And what was with the show only lasting to 11:30? They should have allowed more time for Amon Amarth to play if they were quitting that early...

But ya, there were to many "new" CoB kiddy fans and alot of Trivium kiddies there, ruined the show imo.

[chorbalan]

I saw COB in Vancouver on the 22nd, It was great.

Amon Amarth opened up, it was my first time seeing them or hearing them, they were great. The Lead singer worked the croud well and had an awesome viking horn cup he drank out of after every song.

Trivium came out and they were not bad in my oppinion. They played pretty well the only thing I would complain about is the fact that Heafy kept leaving the microphone stand in the middle of singing which was annoying. He got the croud pretty roudy and got them to start a circle pit (like he does at EVERY SHOW :rolleyes: ) Apperantly a lot of people dislike them, this didn't seem to be the case at the show. They did allright in my opinion. I still liked Amon Amarth better.

Then It took COBs crew FOREVER to set up, everyone kept chanting "BODOM". Finally they came out and had a spectacular show. They played some of my favourite songs, Needled 24/7, Hatecrew Deathroll and Everytime I Die. After they said they were done they played three more songs. Alexi and Janne had a big solo duel which was pretty cool. Overall the show was great like people said above it was well worth my ears ringing and my neck sore the next day.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I'm going to Bodom...I'm going to Bodom....I'm going to Bodom.

I dont this theres going to be many COB fans at my show....it's in mass probally alot of metalcore kids.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Cam!!!!
I missed you guys.... :upset:

[I'm Charming]

There were so many little kids it was annoying. People just thought trivium were god or something. It was mind blowing how anyone could have thought that.


Bobo, Which show were you at? What city?

It was body to body during the first couple CoB shows and I pushed my way to the front. I had a couple people ahead of me but that didn't matter because I'm 6'3. After the first couple songs though it wasn't uncomfterble.

Why go to a show if your just gonna stand there?

I was at the Portland show last night.

For the songs that I stayed in the crowd with, it was body to body constant pushing back and forth, it was getting old. I want to enjoy watching the band, not have a pushing match with the guy in front of me every few seconds due to the crowd being retarded.

[Hells Bells]

It's no fun when you're focusing more of your energy and attention on keeping your spot/not getting crushed than on actually enjoying the show. When I saw them, it was better later on during the night...people eventually got sick of pushing and stopped.

HUGE 123, I jumped out of the pit for Slipknot because of that. I thought I was going to punch someone. Good job I'd already seen em otherwise I'd be PISSED.

That's too bad. At the Detroit show the crowds were downright violent for Trivium but were headbanging for CoB. There was some movement but I still got to watch the band.

[Mauled By Jesus]

I had plans see CoB in Philly in december, but my parents have decided not to let me go because it's metal.

Words can't describe how pissed off I right now. I've been looking forward to CoB coming somewhere near me forever and now my parents are being assholes.

[blue3]

What the hell? So what if it's metal.

[Mauled By Jesus]

My parents think only drunks and drug users go to these kinds of shows. They think it'll be too dangerous.

The area around harpos was scary...the worst ghetto ive ever seen...we stopped by a gas station and the guy was behind bulletproof glass.

It is scary. We got lost on the way too. :( We had to stop and ask for directions, but luckily we had two formidable looking guys with us. Harpo's looks like it hasn't been renovated in 20 years - I laugh everytime I see it.

:lol: it was funny when some random person would try to get up on the stage, and the stage crew would have to push them off. Btw, did you happen to notice the enormous size of the reverse cymbal one of the local bands had? I swear that thing must have had twice the diameter of a ride cymbal...

No, do you remember which band it was? We came in during a local band from our town of Toledo. They're a melodic death band. Was one of the guitarists a long-haired guy with a bullet belt and the other a pretty heavy guy? We only got to see that band and the one after it, who seemed like a terrible thrash band with an insane shredder.

I thought it was hilarious when people would get up on stage during the show. :lol: Did you see the one (I think it was during Trivium) who got up and a security guy just shoved him right off the edge? There was also one during Amon Amarth where three guys tried to tackle one who climbed up. Damn that was a good show.

It was the last local band that played i think...it was the one without a screamy singer...the guitar player on the left was left handed and i think he had some sort of V...they also had a heavyset drummer, and the biggest cymbal ive ever seen :amaze:

Yeah, that's the thrashy band with the amazing guitarist. They weren't bad, but I wasn't paying attention to the drummer.

Seeing Amon Amarth's vocalist drink from a horn of meade made my day.

yea he waved his arm around his head for like 15 minutes trying to get everyone to make a circle pit.

[Shadows]

That irritated the hell out of me. I would rather that bands just played their music instead of telling the crowd to hit each other.

[I'm Charming]

Trivium was plain pathetic. The guitar work seemed incrediblely off of how it is on the album.

ShadowsFallen:

I disagreed with you about the AYDY review and that review you wrote were you were critical of trivium.

I strongly agree with both now.

I really like AYDY and dislike trivium.

I wish I had a banana for Heafy. He seriously looks like a monkey.

I thought trivium would have been at least decent. But they were a mess. I've seen local screamo/hardcore bands back when I lived in sacramento that were better live then they were. Those bands weren't even known and I've never heard of still.

[Cobshred666]

That irritated the hell out of me. I would rather that bands just played their music instead of telling the crowd to hit each other.

I would play good music so they would make circle pits on there own hahhahhahaha

[Ace_of_Bass2112]

heard it was a great show to

[MRDuCran]

I think it's pretty stupid that Trivium do that too, it makes me want to slit his throat with a butcher's knife.

[blue3]

Haha, awesome. I've only heard a few Trivium songs before..

[Shadows]

I strongly agree with both now.
That's good. We seemed to be at each other's throats at first.

Trivium's playing was fine but Heafy was a jackass. That bothered me. I think it's a great discredit to Amon Amarth to have to open for a band like Trivium.

No It goes Amon Amarth, Trivium, CoB. I was enraged.

[Cobshred666]

No It goes Amon Amarth, Trivium, CoB. I was enraged.

Yeah dude maybe that was a good idea though because they wanted good music too start of the night

[Shadows]

I'd rather it started off with bad music then. Amon Amarth's set was so short - maybe 5 songs. Trivium had twice that.

[Toaster]

Trivium are insanely popular now for some reason. It's hard to think of a less-deserving band to come after Amon Amarth.

Yeah we did seem to be.

Heafy is surly a jackass. There playing was awful, I was wishing Amon Amarth was still out there or CoB would come out early.

Keep in mind,

Coming there, I liked Trivium. I wasn't a fanboy or anything. I just thought they were a decent metal band with some good leads.

But after half way through the first song, It was just painful on the ears.

Hey ppl and so far what ive heard trivium umm stinks :-P

[Shadows]

They do. Many like their music, but I hated their live show.

[Toaster]

They're not an awful band, the hatred is just infectious. They have written some decent songs, its just the originality (and apparently, the live show) issues.

[liveafterdeath]

im gonna see if i can go see bodom live next monday in Tampa (yes, sadly enough i live in florida) and hopefully all will go as planned and its gonna be a f'kin great show.

[6COF6ATG6]

i saw Bodom in Toronto. Really good show but they didn't play kissing the shadows, but Janne and Alexi did a massive solo duel, it was freakin sweet.

[I'm Charming]

They're not an awful band, the hatred is just infectious. They have written some decent songs, its just the originality (and apparently, the live show) issues.

If you listen to their music, it's not really anything groundbreaking.

After listening to it closely. Seeing their pathetic live show.

I really don't think they are worth the hype they get, if any hype.

I mean sure there some nice leads in the albums and solos.

You know how many bands I can find that have that though, and don't completly blow it live?

I've seen screamo/hardcore bands (locals bands back in sac) that were better live.



The thing that horrified me though wasn't just trivium.

If I remember correctly, Matt told the crowd,

"we will see in feburary" with................. In Flames.

I thought the suffering had ending when they stopped playing?

[Abu-Abu]

Sorry if this has been mentioned but I heard a Bodom song on the radio and I liked it, can any of you guys take a shot at what it probably is? I'm assuming it's new.

And I doubt it's from any of their previous albums, so I'm guessing the song is "In Your Face"

haha I know, I liked the Trashed Lost and Strungout video. Probably cause that drum kit was so sexy, even though it wasnt Jaska's because I think jaska has a double pedal instead of 2 bass drums on his kit.

[Shadows]

Jaska never uses two bass drums. He only plays with a double pedal.

[Toaster]

Yeah, I noticed that in the In Your Face video. It looks so weird seeing a metal band without that huge drum kit behind them.

[Cobshred666]

Jaska never uses two bass drums. He only plays with a double pedal.

Yes, the Deadnight Warrior video is pretty funny :lol:

[Shadows]

The Deadnight Warrior video is horribly good, in the worst ways. I think they paid Janne's brother to shoot the video in a basement somewhere.

/Chldren of Bodom discussion

Remember when I said I was goin' to do that myspace music profile thing? WELL I decided I want to do a CoB cover...it's down to Silent Night, Bodom Night, Taste of My Scythe, Little Blood Red Riding Hood, or Wrath Within...which would y'all want to hear?

[Toaster]

I say Silent Night. I added you, btw.

[I'm Charming]

Silent Night, Bodom Night.

[AA-12]

Jesus, what's with all the Trivium hate. I'm obsessed with them.

[Shred Danson]

Jesus, what's with all the Trivium hate. I'm obsessed with them.

I love them too. I'm neutral in this fanboy war :p

Ah ok I wondered who that was...

Silent Night, Bodom Night.

Silent Night it is :p

Hey, I hated Trivium before hating Trivium became the "cool" thing to do. :p

Trevor, you're going on my list of people I <3. :)

[Shred Danson]

I added u if thats ok :chug:

Yeah, that's cool :D

/talkin' to you now...

[Shadows Within]

Jesus, what's with all the Trivium hate. I'm obsessed with them.
there awsome im going for them and COB at the Palladium in Massachussettes (SP?) i don't see why everyone hates them.

I also found an Imperanon CD today and i am going to upload it, I think you guys might like them if you can get past the rip-off part of them.
And that the guitaring is nothing compared to alexis.

[Shadows]

I've known Imperanon for about a year now, and they're damn good. Like old CoB with more neoclassical.

[alphamonkey]

Silent Night, Bodom Night

[MRDuCran]

I'm quite fond of Imperanon also, especially Shadowsouls, that chicks voice is weird and cool, then the guy comes in with Bodom style yows and stuff, ah man, quality.

I agree that his playing is nothing compared to Alexi's, it sounds kinda sloppy on the recordings, Alexi was only sloppy live...and now he's not, cool.

[Shadows]

Alexi's not sloppy at all live. It was amazing.

[MRDuCran]

I mean before, like on the live videos of Hate Me, Warheart, Lake Bodom etc, they weren't great admittedly.

[Shadows]

I don't think I've seen any of his older live videos.

[Silenius]

I actually though that the sweeps in Memories to Dust and Blade were quite clean.

Imperanon++:)

[MRDuCran]

Haven't heard that one.

I don't think I've seen any of his older live videos.

:eek:

[Silenius]

BTW, the current lead guitarist in Imperanon (not on the album) is also in Wintersun.

[Shadows]

Imperanon kills them. I don't understand the hype around Wintersun.

[AA-12]

Wintersun is awesome because they are extremely heavy, and most of their songs are very varied.

[From_The_Shadows666]

Hey any of you guys get Guitar World?
Well I'm into drumming mostly myself...but I started buying Guitar World partly because Alexi plays some crazy stuff...

[MRDuCran]

Is their anyway you could show us?

[Silenius]

Imperanon kills them. I don't understand the hype around Wintersun.
:angry:

Wintersun slaugters all!

The vocals (clean and growled) and the epic/folksy themes kick arse. The variety is wonderful. One of my all-time favorite bands.

[Shadows]

Wintersun strikes me as very boring. I don't know why, but a large part of their sound seems to be ripped off of Norther.

[From_The_Shadows666]

No I can't put the Guitar World CD's on the computer...you would have to buy it yourself...but there is lessons and stuff on it...like Slayer, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, 1 with Bodom...and a lot more.
So you could go to there site or something I don't know...
http://www.guitarworld.com/
thats the site...

[MRDuCran]

I've got videos from Guitar World of Alexi but I want more. :upset:

[From_The_Shadows666]

Well I have all the Guitar World CD's...I'm not going to count them...but I'm guessing theres mabye 10 with Alexi???

[MRDuCran]

Erm, I have the Chokehold one and the Betcha Can't Play This tapping lick, what else do he do?

[From_The_Shadows666]

He has a lot of Betcha Can't Play This ones...that's most of them...
except there's one that's a lesson...I can't remember what song it is though...I'll tell you when I remember

[MRDuCran]

Ok cool.

[Silenius]

Wintersun strikes me as very boring. I don't know why, but a large part of their sound seems to be ripped off of Norther.
Wierd, I always thought of them as original and really with lots of variety.

[Shadows]

Wierd, I always thought of them as original and really with lots of variety.
That's what people tell me, but I just don't see it.

[Silenius]

That's what people tell me, but I just don't see it.
At least appreciate the Beyond the Dark Sun sweeps or the crazy Death and the Healing solo, Norther can't do that.:p

[MRDuCran]

I listened to Beyond the Dark Sun, it's not bad. Not as good as Cob though.
The sweeps were Ok too, I do like his voice though.

[Shadows]

At least appreciate the Beyond the Dark Sun sweeps or the crazy Death and the Healing solo, Norther can't do that.:p
I'm sure they could. Norther's guitarists can shred like any of these other Finnish power metal bands, they just rarely choose to.

[I'm Charming]

Hey, I hated Trivium before hating Trivium became the "cool" thing to do. :p

I hated them after a pathetic live show. I hated them before everyone joined in.

[blue3]

Who's everyone?

I hated them after a pathetic live show. I hated them before everyone joined in.

I'm sure everyone would say this, let's not get people started.

But I really did hate them before everyone else. :p

Hey Ben, how did you manage to win? I'm not sure how fair that is... :lol:

What is it with those Japanese people getting all the cool stuff and we get crap.

[Shadows]

How did I manage to win? I think we all know the answer to that one. It's because I'm so ****ing metal! Or maybe it's because I have the most posts in this thread! Either way, it's not hard to see I win.

/is mildly metal

:mad: It's fair, you just need to see the facts.

[Mr. Squiggles]

Oh, sorry, for a second there I forgot how ****ing metal you are... My bad.

Here's a fact, you like Shadows Fall so you lose big.

No, I'm kidding. You have a right to your false opinion. :lol:

Why is it that the Floridians are always the most difficult? :(

loldose.

Who's everyone talking about?

[Shadows]

I do really hate it, I'm requesting it to be changed, but DBJ hasen't checked in that thread in a long time.
Oh ja. I don't think it's that bad, but apparently you're always talking about how you hate it. So a change will do you good.

You guys all use Yahoo right?
I do, but I'm not sure how many others do.

[AA-12]

We should have a bodom chatroom on AIM/MSN/Yahoo/etc.

[Shadows]

We should. I have all three so take your pick. I didn't even know you had an IM thingy.

[Mr. Squiggles]

Oh ja. I don't think it's that bad, but apparently you're always talking about how you hate it. So a change will do you good.


I do, but I'm not sure how many others do.

Yeah, I really want it changed, It reminds me of when I was a Nirvana fanboy.

I use Yahoo too.

[Shadows]

Yahoo is 1337. Mos def.

I used to be a Nirvana fanboy too. :(

[blue3]

So I guess I'm the only one who doesn't have Yahoo. I have AIM and MSN though.

[Shadows]

You should get Yahoo. It's better then the other two. MSN is okay, but AIM is just evil.

[Mr. Squiggles]

My yahoo is: Mr_Squiggles999

[blue3]

AIM sucks. What's so great about Yahoo anyway?

[Shadows]

Nothing really. I prefer it to MSN though, as the outward appearence seems more user-friendly for me.

[AA-12]

Blah, with the new AIM I think i'm here to stay.

[Shadows]

AIM blows. Everyone knows that.

So about that stuff we were talking about...

Ohhh, that stuff...

[JacksonRR3guy]

Ah...I remember when this was a young thread. People would say "what an obnoxious thread title". Well we see what good that did. Anyways I can't believe that this thread is still on the first page. I think it was May that the thread starter posted started it all. Its been 6 months that this thread has been running in the first 3 or 4 pages. Damn. Anyways can't wait to see Children of Bodom on December 5 in Ybor City, Florida. Kick @ss. Check out their supposed line up on Scythes-of-bodom if you haven't already seen their show. Keep the (____COBHC____) thread going strong! Peace out.

[Silenius]

I'm sure they could. Norther's guitarists can shred like any of these other Finnish power metal bands, they just rarely choose to.
I dunno, Jari has some extremely clean sweeps in Winter Madness, Beyond the Dark Sun etc. The Norther guys just play scale fragments most of the time, not that they're not great guitarists.;)

Here.

[MRDuCran]

Are you an actual drummer or just a guitarist that plays drums?

[AA-12]

Well, I play guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard all with the same amount of seriousness.

[MRDuCran]

Ah cool. I was just wondering to see if there was anyone that could play Bodom stuff on drums.

The main problem for me would be the double kicks, I can do about 160 but not for that long, I seriously doubt I could hit 190 like Downfall, Warheart etc.

[Shadows]

Well, I play guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard all with the same amount of seriousness.

I've never really tried, mainly because of the fact that I don't really like their drumming, heh.

yeah... its amazing.

though the "best" live-album i've ever heard is nin-and all that could have been.

[AA-12]

Best live album ever is either Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison, or any Dream Theater live album.

[Themadhatter]

My concert story for those interested:

So I show up to a local Zia which doesn't sell tickets, but I figured I'd check anyway, I had a few hours to kill, so what the hell.. right? When I pull in, I notice a huge line outside. I figured "ah cool, I guess they are selling tickets!" so I get in the back of the line. I then realized that I didn't know if the line was even for tickets or not, so I asked the guy in front of me. He's like "Dude, Bodom is here. We're all waiting to meet Bodom." After my giant erection went away, I went into my car and grabbed Are You Dead Yet?.

2 hours later, I'm standing a few feet away from their table. Man, I didn't think I'd get nervous but I did. I walked up to the drummer (excuse me for not knowing names) and was like "H-H-Hey man, you rock." and he's like "Thanks man, I appreciate that". He could tell I was nervous. To the bass player: "Hey man, welcome to Arizona." "Thank you! How are you?" "I'm good, how are you?" "I'm good man, a little hungover but good!". Alexi: Alexi wasn't in the greatest mood and I don't think he smiled much the entire time, but oh well. I said Whats up, he kind of nodded his head and said hey, that was it. The keyboard/guitarist were pretty cool as well, big smiles on the guitarist. He looked really pleased that we came to meet them. Anyway, off to the show.

Amon Amarth was pretty sick. I was never really into those type of real deep and powerful vocals, but they put on an excellent show. I really enjoyed them. "Death in Fire" was so awesome.

We waited for Trivium. Beforehand, I had the attitude of "Ehh, Trivium kind of blows but oh well." Jesus Christ was I wrong. I really, really, really, really liked Trivium. Matt was talking to the crowd a LOT which is something I really liked. When "The End of Everything" came on, I knew they were going to be good. I saw Matt on the side of the stage stretching and strapping on his guitar and stuff, it was pretty cool. They came out and tore into Rain. In between songs, he was talking to this kid who was wearing a mask and flipping them off or whatever about why he was too metal for them and how ugly he was. It was hilarious. At one point, Matt tells the entire crowd to quiet down. He tells the kid he has 10 seconds to explain why he's too metal for Trivium. When his time ran out, Matt says "Sorry, the correct answer would have been 'What is Manowar'" HAHA! He also encouraged huge moshpits and whirlwind circles. He said that our show (Phoenix, AZ) had the best whirlwinds and we were actually the best crowd on the tour yet. He probably said that to everyone, but oh well. To anyone else that saw them, did he say that to you too? Just curious. He also said that they were going to try something new and that they had never played this before and then tore into "A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation" which was wierd. I thought they played that everywhere, but I guess not. All solos were very clean. They were very, very good live. Deff. a live band!

As Bodom hooked in and stuff, their intro song was some 80's retro thing, I don't remember which song though. During their set, Alexi would feed everyone beer while they were soloing or whatever. He's pretty violent on stage, which was cool to watch. He was extremely clean and smiled a lot more than he did at Zia. He looked like he was having fun. At one point, someone threw a big stuffed frog on stage and he goes "It looks like our friend here needs a drink, what do you think?" Needless to say, the crowd went crazy so he gave the frog some beer. His solo/keyboard solo was awesome. Drum solo was good, but nothing compared to Arch Enemy's. Overall, they put on a great show. But I dunno man, Trivium was exceptionally awesome.

That's all. It was an awesome night. Buy your tickets. You won't be dissapointed.

It was a great show, but Trivium's live act did nothing for me. Matt Heafy's determination for the crowd to beat each other only caused me to lose further respect for them.

Other then that, the other two bands were amazing.

the only thing i like about trivium is Corey hes a pretty good guitarist and the fact that hes from maine (like me), althought we just whooped his home teams *** at football championship 2 weeks ago.

I'm obsessed with the drummer mainly, but I really love the whole band.

The only thing that makes me jealous is meeting Alexi, as I'm going to see them soon anyway. To have just a nod and no smile would be disappointing though.

Okay, I'm considering seeing these guys live. Which songs do they usually play live?
