Live report: day 1 (May 30th)


Sailors!!
Ears are ringing like hell...
We have just returned from a f**king amazing show at House of Blues, here in L.A! Really awesome!

Firewind got the party started: they looked like having so much fun (Gus G. was incredible! See pics) and the people followed on! Not many tracks were played, but we got a nice selection of new and old pieces! The trophy of the first gig was a drum stick... contended between the Captain and Johnny13... And Johnny won! That sucks! (Just kidding!)

Divine Heresy picked up the torch and brought it way far, crushing skulls and bones of everybody with it! Incredible performance from a f**ing L.A. band (awesome presence on stage of Dino... that couldn't possibly be ignored anyway!) Got to meet the band after the show and got the second trophy of the night: all members signed CDs, handshakes, chit-chat... kisses... whatever! See pics!

Dark Tranquillity. Uncomfortably the volume went down somehow, despite the performance was good. Most of the pieces were from "Fiction", but they did play also some oldies. See pics!

Arch Enemy: WOW!!!! Had no idea they could play that good! Michael Ammott was shredding (and the crowd was shredding the Captain that went deep into the pit's mayhem for pics...!) and Angela was a fury raging all over the stage! That was their last show of the tour and they didn't disappoint. At all!

Sweet dream, now! Have to recover for tomorrow's MAIDEN... meeting!!!
