Trivium COB and Amon Amarth concert review
 

Okay ya'll last night I saw Trivium Children of Bodom and Amon Amarth! at the white rabbit in S.A Texas. It was my first EXP with AA I had never even listened
to a single song (shame on me) They came out with energy and kept it the whole time. I was right up front getting pressed against the stage (lucky me)
and I really like them. at the end of the show I gave Fred one of my pick I brought with me...he laughed and said Thank you! So I really liked AA and I'm definatly gonna get some of their albums and look forward to the next time they come.

Then Trivium took the stage....now I love COB they are incredible and all...but I was there for Trivium. So I was hyped about it when the end of everything started playing. They then went into Rain then Drowned and torn asunder. like light to flies pull harder on the strings of your martyr the decieved. along with some more. I had problems hearing matts guitar because I was right next to cory's amp. But the sound was very good and very intense I was suprised how it was as brutal as it was on the cd.

Then came Bodom...the place went nuts they played mostly old material and one or two songs from the new album. I bet it was 110 degrees in the rabbit...and I'm not good with heat so I really couldn't concentrate buy this point. About half way through their set everyone left except for Jaska and he had a nice 5 or so minute drumn solo. then the guys came back on and played some more songs. then Jann had a solo and about 2 mintes into it his second key on the left side of the keyboard jammed and wouldn't come loose...so Alexi came in and took a solo...then they dueled for a while had a couple more songs and ended the show.

THis is from the COB thread and it's pretty much the same as this show

Intro (Twist And Shout)
Living Dead Beat
Sixpounder
Hate Me!
Silent Night, Bodom Night
In Your Face
Angels Don't Kill
Drum solo

Needled 24/7
Guitar & Key solo (Alexi & Janne)

Hate Crew Deathroll
Are You Dead Yet?

-----

Roope's solo
Chokehold
Everytime I Die
Downfall
Outro (Fight For Your Right (To Party) by Beastie Boys)

All in all this was a awsome show. I'm posting pics for ya'll

I met Matt from Trivium and he gave me a pick! later on I realised that it is one of cory's...oh well Matt gave it to me. I got his autograph on my ticket!
and like a idiot I was out of space on my camra phone and the only way to get them off is with a usb cable...darnit! So no pic with matt this time around

I also gave roope my beany! he put it on and acted all triumphant

Great show if it come to your town check it out

Oh yea I also got to say Hey to Alexi and I touched his guitar!

Awesome dude!!!

What's Alexi like? COB was doing a show at the house of blues @ hollywood,ca the same night that I went to see my fav. local metal band Warhead play down at the famous Whiskey a go-go. Needless to say I was all mixed up as to what show to go to. I ended up not seeing COB but I really want to.

Have you listened to their new album? Most of it was good but WTF is up with the britney spears cover!? :upset: :confused:

LoL I don't know what the hell is up with that cover...gay!

Alexi is cool I really only got to say hello to him. He said hello back and I stood around and listened to everyone ask him questions

then I went over and talked to Trivium.

Did you like the pictures?

I'm kicking myself for not getting a pic with me and matt...

but they said they should be back in feb...so that's cool

Look out for my beanie it's cream with orange stripes

I can't use the .rar extension. Could you change the format plz. I really want to see this dude with your beanie on. LOL.

Holy sh*t their gonna be back in feb.? Well then I've gotta get some tickets. My boss is a huge metal fan and was the guy I went to see fear factory with. He said that anytime I want to go to a concert all I've gotta do is buy my ticket and he'll take me regardless of who's playing. \m/ \m/

The cover is just a joke let the guys have some fun haha. My friend saw them earlier in the week in San Diego and she really liked the show but she didn't remeber the name of Amon Amarth so I had to look it up myself. I would've liked to go but I couldn't get out of school. That's cool that you went. Are you going to any other concerts anytime soon?

You damn Americans and your awesome concerts :(

Amon Amarth are awesome
Trivium are Good
CoB are awesome

I saw Trivium, with Arch Enemy back in september, and they were ****ing amazing. We got to meet Corey and Paolo after, and got our tickets signed. Corey is just too cool.

I'll be going to see CoB in january, and I'm looking forward to that :D It might just make up for the Opeth concert being sold out :angry:

i'm going to see that show on monday, in tampa. i've never heard of amon amarth, what genre are they?

and the dudes from trivium graduated from the shcool i'm attending now, and i actually saw them at battle of the bands a while back. it'll be cool seeing them now. i can't beleive how popular they are.

Corey the bassist and the drummere are the only ones i really like in the band i cant stand matt but corey is a good guitarist and hes from maine like me, even though we kicked there football team's *** in championships couple of weeks ago.

EDIT: oh and im going to the Palladium show with COB, Trivium and AA next week i'll post a review.

[QUOTE=drewhet]i'm going to see that show on monday, in tampa. i've never heard of amon amarth, what genre are they?[/QUOTE]

Melodic Death, slightly on the heavier side.

They're my favourite band in the genre aside from Arch Enemy.

I've seen Amon Amarth and CoB before... Amon Amarth are badass. CoB are cool too, but they must have a lot of technical problems because when I saw them they were having problems with drum mics.

I would disagree and say they are viking metal....but who really cares?

I'm not sure what the next concert I'm gonna see is gonna be

Maybe Disturbed cause they are coming.

This show was great! I enjoyd it more then Metallica....prolly cause I as closer
and I got to meet the guys and all

At this show Trivium had great sound and so did AA but COB could't really get the vocal mics working to well

Alexi is a very cool guy and can eat tacos like no other man alive. My friend playd a show with him and got me back stage. Damn those Fins can scarf down grilld stuff buritos like no other. i mean damn three in 10 minutes 10 MINUTS :eek:

Haha, some guy spit on Matt at the San Fran show,

That's gay and dissrespectfull

America get the best gigs. I absolutely love Amon Amarth and Bodom, and trivium also put on a pretty d[I]a[/I]mn good show as well. I'm jealous of Amon Amarth and Bodom, although i'll be seeing Bodom here in the Uk next year.

That sounds awesome. You touched his guitar! Cool pictures. You should've taken pictures of Roope with your orange beanie.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]Haha, some guy spit on Matt at the San Fran show,[/QUOTE]
:lol: i kept wanting a monkey to charge the stage during thr trivium set, their singer could only say "**** YEAH! LETS GET A CIRCLE PIT! ****!" and only 3 people tried to mosh :lol:

Amon Amarth and CoB only would have been alot better, or at least giving Amon Amarth more than a 30 minute set

Did you meet the guys after the show or before?

You lucky man, Brit. I want to go so badly this upcoming week but my dad isn't letting me go. It sounds awesome

I saw the very first show they played in the US. It was great. CoB and Amon Amarth kicked more *** then I thought humanly possible, but Trivium really annoyed me.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]Haha, some guy spit on Matt at the San Fran show,[/QUOTE]

Hahaha, he deserves a medal.

Ok, who am i?

'I WANNA SEE YOU HEAD BANGING!!'
'I WANNA SEE A CIRCLE PIT!!!'
'I WANNA SEE YOU MOSH!!'

But yah, CoB and AA sounded good.

[QUOTE=Britton]I would disagree and say they are viking metal....but who really cares?[/quote]

Yes, they are viking metal in a way.

Viking metal describes bands with lyrical content related to Norse mythology and Viking stories, but this has no effect on a bands sound. So, Amon Amarth are melodic death metal, but they have viking metal lyrics so the best description of them are melodic death metal for over all sound.

[QUOTE=Britton]Maybe Disturbed cause they are coming.
[/QUOTE]

No, don't waste your money on such a horrid band.

I have already had the misfortune of having to see them twice, they are awful.

Haha, Jason drops teh knowlage.

I heard Disturbed singer is really gay. I might see sevendust in a couple weeks.

actually matt was really cool about the circle pit. He only mentioned it once.
and he was like "Hey I don't want anyone going down lets have a good time"

Triviums sound was awsome. Cob had mic problems. but the sound overall was great.

I met them after the show. I got to touch Alexi's white guitar on the finn and the black one on the headstock.

I got to say hello to him and ask him about a guitar spin that almost failed ( he was like "Yea I was worried for a moment")

Roopa was all over the place so I couldn't get a pic of him with the beanie on...and my camra phone seized up when I overloaded the photo's so no pics with band members

[QUOTE=Britton]I heard Disturbed singer is really gay. [/QUOTE]

remember that thread where he talked about getting boners while performing. That cracked me up.
