LIVE!!!!!!
Let's not forget (or maybe we could, I dunno)...
LIVE......
I'll review them in the order they appeared onstage, simply because that makes things easier on my ADHD mind.
Trivium: This is the kind of quality I expect out of a recording, not a live concert. Although they're not too bad at the concert part, they just don't seem to get the whole music thing.
Coheed and Cambria: This is the kind of quality I expect from an album I wouldn't download. In other words, they zetta sucked and sound pretty much the same live as they do on their recordings. And, unless you're a factoring masochist who likes having strobe lights shined in his eyes, they aren't good at the concert part, either.
Probably about 1% of you are going: "Sho, what the factor more could you want than strobe lights flashing in your eyes? That is the digit!" What more do I want? I want their drummer to do solos while on a sideways platform that's spinning! That is the zetta factoring digit! The zetta factoring digit, I tell you! By some zetta bizarre coincidence, it's what Slipknot's lead drummer Joey Jordison does.
Slipknot started off pretty slow, but everyone (when I say "everyone", I also mean me because Slipknot fans are the on audience I can actually relate with in this world. It feels rather empowering) still cheered since they're better than Trivium and Coheed and Cambria combined. Then they played Before I Forget and everyone's just like, yayz! Zetta yayz! Afterwards, they stopped holding back with their on stage stuff, although they got progressively better with their performances as the show went on.
What I liked was when Corey Taylor dedicated a song to everyone who didn't come to the concert. Most bands dedicate songs to people who made the concert possible, sometimes even the audience itself, but how many bands dedicate songs to people who have absolutely nothing to do with the concert? And that song was probably their best song live! Do you know what song that is? That song was People = Shit! Here that, Raam? Corey Taylor thinks you're = to shit, but not me, and all because you didn't come to a concert I invited you to even though the last concert I invited you to and you didn't come to was zetta awesome! Now their's not a chance that I'm letting you wuss out of the Nonpoint concert.
As for the actual music, it was great. Slipknot's a live band, kind of like every band I listen to and not you. 'Cause you zetta fail. Yes, you, the zetta son of a digit reading this blog. Musically, they aren't as zetta good as Rise Against live, and, in terms of performance, they aren't as zetta good as Silent Civilian/Spineshank, but they're a good mix of the two, so I'm zetta happy.
What I didn't like was that they didn't play Gematria, The Nameless, Vermillion, or Pulse of the Maggots. But, y'know, if the worst part of a concert is what they didn't do and not what they did wrong, then I'm satisfied. It wasn't the best show I've ever been to, but I'm looking forward to seeing Slipknot in concert again.
