Other event videos (All That Remains)

Ребята отыграли мощно.. только вот статичность гитаристов не очень порадовала. Разок попытались выстроится, и то как-то криво =\
Но даже то что у меня забрали кассету из видеокамеры после 8 песни.. не омрачило моё впечатление о событии. Оно было потрясающим! =)

Fri 24 Apr – All That Remains, August Burns Red, Too Pure To Die, Wrath and Rapture

This was a fun show, but definitely not the best one I've ever been to.

I only saw two songs for Wrath and Rapture, and that was all I needed to hear. They weren't bad, but not that great either.
I could have done without Too Pure To Die. They put on a good show and were into it and got the crowd going, but I thought all their songs sounded the same, and their vocalist wasn't that great.
It was my second time seeing August Burns Red, and it was worth it. They were the best act to play there. I will list the setlist for ABR and ATR at the end. August Burns Red just play such a great live show.
All That Remains were the second best there. They played a great show, but just lacked a little bit compared to ABR. It was also my second time seeing them. I did meet Oli again and got a picture with him at the end. Pretty fucking cool.

Overall, this show was fun, and I'd love to see both the headlining bands again.

Sun 9 Nov – In Flames, 36 Crazyfists, All That Remains, Gojira

Sunday evenings are normally reserved for chilling out with the Sunday paper and kids crawling into my lap, especially this time of year when the weather has a solid early winter feel and we hole up by the fireplace. But sometimes you gotta get out and say, "I'm off to a melodic death metal / metalcore show!"

Felt kinda weird heading downtown to meet two of my concert crew on a Sunday night, but I'd been looking forward to this show very much. In Flames are one of two bands I got to see twice this year, having seen them back in May on Gigantour. (The other being High on Fire, also on Gigantour, and opening for Opeth back in September.)

36 Crazyfists:
We got in partway through the 36 Crazyfists set. I admit I don't know this band at all. I've heard of them, but had never heard anything by them. They had a somewhat hardcore sound and kinda reminded me of Hatebreed or maybe Madball, but if I'm way off base on that comparison, don't beat me up too bad. …

Fri 7 Mar – All That Remains, Chimaira, Light This City, Black Tide, Chronic D

Let me preface this by saying that this was the last night of All That Remains's headlining tour, which naturally meant that it was going to be one hell of a show, full of excellent playing and possibly some big surprises. I was excited.

Due to traffic, though, I did not get to the show in time to see Chronic D or Light This City. I was mostly disappointed for not seeing Light This City, but something that happened later more than made up for that.

I got there just in time to see Black Tide. They were okay, I suppose. Reminded me a lot of Trivium's newer sound. Black Tide did play a good cover of Metallica's Hit The Lights, so that made their set passable.

Chimaira was on next. This was my second time seeing Chimaira, so I knew what to expect. They opened with three older songs that I was not familiar with, then went into the always-excellent Power Trip. …
