[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Sounds good. They look like a bunch with good English humour (lawl). I <3 Lord Abortion too. :)[/QUOTE]
Yeah, plenty of pissing around, mooning and lots of drinking, lots and lots of drinking.

Right just got back from an excellent show.

Cradle were incredible good.
I was front and centre throughout.

setlist was

Satyrisis
Guilded Caaaaaant!
Medusa and Hemlock
Babylon AD
Thank god for the suffering
Cthulhu Dawn
Desire in Violent Overture
Nymphetamine (fix:()
Born in a burial Gown
Her Ghost in the Fog
Ebony dressed for Sunset
Nocturnal Supremacy
Heaven Torn Asunder
From The cradle to enslave

First of all, surprising set, nearly completely different from the last, some great songs, but not as good a set as the last one in April.
The Band were excellent. Fully Stagecrafting, with angle grinders in the encore, Living gargoyles that looked awesome when they moved as Dani gestured after being still for 2 songs. And a huge demon thing on stilts, too...

The crowd screamed along, unfortunatly noticably more to the recent stuff :rolleyes: and I noticed I was the only one I could see who knew the words to half of it.

Best moments:
The rapturous Cthulhu Dawn, Desire in Violent Overture, and Heaven torn asunder (that riff :eek:)
the singalongs to Her Ghost, and Dani dedicating Babylon AD to "you lot down there at the front" :D

Low Points:
Mallcore Kids...
Medusa and Hemlock, and Thank God for the suffering...not the best tracks they could have chosen...

Wonderful Gig, Dani was perfect all throughout, he hits those notes as well live as he does studio-wise. Just more Mid-period stuff next time!

[U]Support[/U]
Octavia were alright I suppose, and very pretty, had to borrow Cathedral's drummer and he was the best in the bad the vocals were unintelligable and no stage presence.

Cathedral were 'kin excellent.[I] Great[/I] Stage precence, but Few songs due to a 10'oclock (!) curfew
They did
Ride, Corpsecycle and Hopkins, as well as a couple of others I didn't recognise.

All in all, brilliant, desire in violent overture, Cthulhu dawn and Her ghost were my personal faves, but they didn't put a foot wrong all night.
Pure excellence.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

That sounds amazing. The only drawback to the show I saw was all the mallcore kids and the lack of anything from Dusk. Sounds like your show kicked ***, with all the theatrical stuff. I would ****ing kill to see Cthulhu Dawn. :(

Heaven Torn asunder is off Dusk... :D
Nocturnal supremacy was A huge shock, took me ages to work out what it was,as I haven't heard that song much

Cthulhu dawn was [I]incredible[/I]

I bet, that's one of my all-time favorite songs by them. But it's so much better when they play it after starting with At the Gates of Midian.

I <3 Dusk & Her Embrace. Yet they didn't play a single song from it last year. Any song would've been nice, as every single one on that album is amazing.

now this is one band i would kill to see live....unfortuantley, i dont know when/if the come to my town/state

I would suggest that it'll be after the next album they'll hit America.

Someone I talked to afterwards met Charles...and got his ticket signed, I considered mugging him. Aparently he said [I]" the rest won't be out until the nightclubs close..." [/I]

I was really close to getting a stick of Adrian's... but he handed, yes HANDED one to the guy a little to the right and in front of me.
Lucky bastard

I know the feeling. When I went to see Shadows Fall, Jason Bittner threw a stickl right to my friend next to me. Some guy grabbed it from him, but Jason saw it and gave my friend another stick.

No <3 for the man bearing their name every day. :(

That setlist you posted earlier; the majority of it seemed to be off of three of there albums....i figured they would kinda spread it out more.

Which one?
Last night's or the last one?

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Which one?

The last one you posted

Well, out of 14 songs, there were 4 from the last album which is understandable, two from DAAD, two from midian, and one each from DAHE, and CATB, with the rest from Mini albums etc.

I suppose that they are wary of alienating the people who have supported them for a long time, but want to keep the new support that came into crale via the newer stuff.
It's a fine balance, which I think, given the last two sets, they got Correct.
search for the last tour setlist in here to see what I mean.

:confused:

I've never seen this thread before.

My favorite COF song would be either All hope in Eclipse or Tearing the Veil From Grace.

where abouts do you live? cause a friend of mine were going to see them and Cathedral were supporting.

I live in Northumberland, saw them at Newcastle.

They were magnificent, and so were Cathedral.

Ah, my friend went to see them a few nights ago in Glasgow.

I get one of there dvds for christmas cant wait to watch it.:thumb:

Cradle of Filth is one damn fine band!

/late

^Its never to late to say that...

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Octavia were alright I suppose, and very pretty, had to borrow Cathedral's drummer and he was the best in the bad the vocals were unintelligable and no stage presence.[/QUOTE]

ah, i wondered why the drummer had a beard :rolleyes:

when cathredral played, the guitarist was right at teh edge, and when he wanted to use a pedal he went even further, nearly behind the PA system. Half the people probably coulnt see, put ya pedal board in the middle of the stage!

Wish the played overdose tho... but you cant have everything :chug:

I did enjoy Lee Dorian's mock hanging at the end of Hopkins.
The chourus of that was immense.

I listened to all of CATB and TPOEMF today...

that mock hanging was funny :D

He was shooting himself in the head throughout too... and did that weird thing like being crucifed and put the mic in his mouth

strange guy

I'm about to kick back with some amazing DAHE. :cool:

Ah, We all know that Cradle are more influenced by King Diamond than Black metal, really.

friends of mine have been talking to me about Craddle and I saw one of their video. If I should get an album wich one should I get???
thanks.

It depends...

Get [I]Cruelty and the Beast[/I], or [I]the principle of evil made flesh[/I].
The latter is a real black metal album, though.

If you're looking for their best, than I couldn't choose just one. [I]Dusk & Her Embrace[/I] is great, but [I]Midian[/I] and [I]Damnation and a Day[/I] are both better for the heavier stuff.

Exactly, and [I]Nymphetamine[/I] is fantastic too...

You're not going to get a definite answer, I'm afraid :p

Haha, all we can do is describe every album and hope one of them appeals to him.

Every single one is good, except for perhaps [I]Bitter Suites to Succubi[/I], which may be a [I]bit[/I] sub par. Still has some great tracks though.
