Did you have a good time?Hey, I was there with you!
Did you have a good time?
We had a great time. We were disappointed in Manson -- didn't think he sounded as good as he did when we've seen him in the past, maybe he was just having an off night, I don't know. He wasn't awful, but just seemed not as good in comparison, following Killswitch and Slayer. Everyone else was great. Slayer and Killswitch were just downright amazing. Those two alone were worth the cost of the tickets, everyone else was bonus, lol.
I think the organization was really well done too. I think there was a little overlap between Cannibal Corpse and Mushroomhead. We were over by the Hot Topic stage watching Cannibal and I'm pretty sure I heard Mushroomhead on the main stage. I know by the time we got over there they were already playing. All the other bands had perfect timing though. When one finished the other started (on second and third stages).
Behemoth was great, Black Dahlia was great, Trivium was great... really, they were all great. My 15-year-old nephew got a bloody nose in the Job For a Cowboy pit, but after he got cleaned up it was just sore and swollen, luckily, not broken. The weather was perfect, sun and clouds, but other than a few sprinkles at the beginning there was no rain. We drank some free Rockstar Energy drinks and got stomach aches, lol.
My DS got autographs from Killswitch and The Black Dahlia Murder. He was pretty happy.
We laughed at the drunks passed out on the hillside early in the day. We laughed at the people walking around with one shoe because they lost the other in one pit or another. We enjoyed looking at all the interestingly-dressed folks. The crowd was seriously all-aged. I saw a little girl who couldn't have been older than 4 or 5, and a man and woman who had to be in their 60's, and everything in between.
Post-Gazette security, as usual, left something to be desired. I chose our seats off to the side and on an aisle, so I knew I could see (I'm short). But everyone from the back of the pavilion kept coming up and standing in the aisle in front of me (we were like three or four rows back in the top tier). Our area's security person was a 90 lb. female. She kept telling them they had to go back to their seats, they weren't allowed to block the aisle, etc. Nobody would listen to her. She kept having to get some security men to make everyone go back to their seats. They would just ignore her and pretend she wasn't even there. Security was pretty much more of a distraction than the people standing in the aisle, lol. I screamed in one guy's ear to get him to move (it worked) because not only was he blocking my view but he smelled pretty bad too, lol.
All in all, this might have been our best concert ever. It sure was perfect for DS's first. Now I'm just worried his next won't be nearly as good and he'll be disappointed.![]()
Your husband needs to change his mind! It was so much fun. I didn't like having to make the trek between the two stages. I preferred the Ozzfests in the past where they would do the five minute setup in between bands. Other than that and some stupid people, it was pretty fun.I want to see and hear all about the concert you 2!!!!
DH is still saying "no" to our Mayhem FestEven if we went it would not be until after he got home from work which would be around 6:30- so I am not even sure if it would be worth it.
Went to see Black Label Society last night at the HOB in Atlantic City. Zakk Wylde is just amazing to see and hear. Before the concert came I kept telling people I cannot wait to "see" Zakk play. I was thinking, I should be saying "hear" but the visual was just as intense as hearing it
The crowd? That is another story- agian, I am just amazed at what idiots a lot of the ADULT concert goers are....................hmmmmm- all I can say is, did you ever see that movie IDIOCRACY??? Just askin'
I enjoy going to my small venues, and watching the younger concert goers just having a good time and happy see their band!![]()
You know what? I made the comment to my friend that I went with that Manson wasn't as good as I thought he'd be. He wasn't really offensive at all. And that's one of the things I love about Manson. I did love Slayer though. Wish they would have played Skeletons of Society. That's one of my favorite Slayer songs.We had a great time. We were disappointed in Manson -- didn't think he sounded as good as he did when we've seen him in the past, maybe he was just having an off night, I don't know.

Thanks. I just got a chance to watch them all. Looking at your camera angle and view, it seems that you were right in front of us for All That Remains and Behemoth. Too bad I didn't know it was you. I could have thrown my shoe at you or something, LOL. (just kidding of course)If you want to watch any of my videos (I am not the best videographer in the world, FYI), I'm leaving the YouTube links here.
We stayed through the end of CC then made our way over to the main stage, so we caught some of them. I'm not a Mushroomhead fan, I'm sorry to say, so they were my least favorite band of the day, though I don't hate them, I didn't think they were awful or anything. My DS likes them.Mushroomhead did start playing during CC. We didn't even go over to see them. We were waiting in line for drinks and overpriced nachos.![]()
Yeah, we parked once, got out, started walking, and then they sent us back to our car to move it. Idiots. They were too busy talking to each other, I guess, to realize they had directed us to park where we weren't supposed to. And I noticed a couple of crowd surfers dropping onto their heads too!Post Gazette Security are buttheads. They pissed me off several times on Saturday, starting with the buttheads directing the parking. They were very unorganized. They further pissed me off at the gate. And you would think that they would put some strong men up by the stage who actually pay attention to the crowd. But no...do you know how many crowd surfers I saw just dropped on their heads over the barricade? Stupid security.
Don't know if anyone has an XBOX360 or PS3 in their households, but the Brutal Legend soundtrack looks to be released, and if true, this has the potential to be one of the greatest games ever!
Brutal Legend is an open world metal-action game from Tim Schafer. Schafer is responsible for a bunch of old school greats like Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, and Psychonuats. Coulpe that with a Metal themed videogame using the voice talent of Jack Black, Tim Curry, Ozzy, Lemmy, Rob Halford, and Lita Ford.
here's the soundtrack:

Aww, I wish I would have checked in here ahead of time and noticed. We could have met up. Well, there's always Lamb of God, Gwar, and Job for a Cowboy next month at Station Square.Thanks. I just got a chance to watch them all. Looking at your camera angle and view, it seems that you were right in front of us for All That Remains and Behemoth. Too bad I didn't know it was you. I could have thrown my shoe at you or something, LOL. (just kidding of course)

Yes this is in fact the soundtrack!!!!! I can't wait for this game the only down side is that they chose Ozzy Osbourne over DIO...They removed DIO from the game because Sharon Osbourne the wicked witch of music said it's either Ozzy or Dio not both, supposedly because of this Iron Maiden pulled their track from the game because as history has shown Bruce and the boys don't like Sharon too much for that stunt she pulled at Ozzfest when she had those losers from Black Label Society egg their set. The second half of that regarding iron maiden may not be true as I only read that on a fan site but the Sharon requesting that Dio be removed is the real deal as I have seen that reported in numerous outlets.
I knew something was up when Dio was listed to play the big bad in the game, and then he was dropped with Tim Curry to play the role. Tim Schafer was forced to give some stupid excuse of why Curry was a better fit, but the Sharon answer makes a lot more sense. If Dio was dropped just because his voice wasn't the right fit, then why is there no Dio or Dio-era Sabbath in the game? You can't fit everyone's fav band on the soundtrack, but I am amazed that there is no Maiden listed. I agree that something had to have been pulled. I thought when the game was in the initial stages, that Bruce was even rumored to be voicing a character.
I was also really happy to see Saxon listed, and my favorite surprises were Racer X, Savatage, and Michael Schenker Group. If I had a wish for a few more tracks, I would love to have seen:
Dio/Sabbath - Sign of the Southern Cross, Mob Rules, Striaght Through the Heart
Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy Name, Rime of the Ancient Mariner
They would have been great tunes to crank during gaming. Besides that, I am amazed at the variety of styles covered. I'm just wondering how they'll fit all the music in, but I have complete confidence in Schafer.
