I've been to many great concerts in my time but last night I witnessed a night of metal so perfect it will never be matched. I turned up to the show to find local band Sclyrosis tearing it up with their unique tribal melodic death metal, it was like the drumming of soulfly, the bass of korn, the guitar riffs of disturbed and the duelling lead breaks of in flames mixed with the screaming/sining vocals of bands like trivium, killswitch engage and all that remains, then machine head hit the stage, at this point my friends Alec and Alan and I had been up at the alchy tents binging on beer, rum and bourbon...
So we stumbled down into the moshpit, now this concert was played at "the riverstage" a huge outdoor stage with a grassy hill and a flat concrete part infront of the stage, it's pretty damn cool, anyway we got down to the mosh pit and screamed lyrics, moshed, headbanged and just partied, it was awesome, and in between songs we were treated to frontman robb flynns usual banter, screams of "cheers ****ers" before he downed a plastic cup of what seemed to be vodka and coke(a "browneye" robbs favourite cocktail), he even berated a kid for not headbanging as hard as the female next to him and then asked "were you into emo a few years ago?", to which the entire 5000 strong crowd "oooo'd" and chanted "you got burned"
And then when slipknot hit the stage it was pyrotechnics, drum lifters and crazed antics throughout, clown and sid throwing each other around the stage, joey drumming upside down, corey enciting us to sing along to the songs, drumsticks being thrown into the crowd, crowd surfing, stage diving, moshing, fighting..there was even a couple laying on the grass near the moshpit ****ing like rabbits for us all to see, then slipknot came on and played three songs as an encore, one we expected and two we didn't, the two we didn't expect?..."sic" from the self titled album and the second?.."Slipknot" from MATE.FEED.KILL.REPEAT ........that's right...they played a song from MFKR....
All in all it was an aweosme night, a great experiance and I give it a 10 out of mother ****ing 10
