Forum.RttP{NEMHF day two - the recap thread.}

mainstage
stil_remains: they didn't show.

the_killing: I thought this was kill the client... but I was wrong. good stuff. the sample player sang too, but you couldn't hear what he was doing.

glass_casket: this was a little early for them to go on. though I think they played about this time last year.

twelve_tribes: hm... awesome to see them, but I think that the singer misunderstood me. I DID take pictures of you guys, obviously. their set was good... but I was dealing with the "two songs main stage all day" for shooting starting with them.

reflux: changed spots with ms? I don't know about that. the same as the last time I saw them... I thought they were zao for a second... but then they came one and I thought "this sounds nothing like them." why? cause they did a melodic, "jammy" intro before the singer came out.

a_life_once_lost: damn is that singer hard to follow around the stage...listening to their new stuff, I was reminded of the BHBS set to come.

trivium: they sounded awesome, but they aren't really my thing. lot of rocking out though.

the_red_chord: hilarious! the sound for them was awesome all over the venue. Guy spent most of his time (if not all) on the crowd. every song was "your last chance to dance" even when they had 2 songs left. TRC was also the only band that I've seen yet to sucessfully get the crowd to do a circle pit.

bury_your_dead: they set up so quickly that I almost missed their set. matt was in the crowd a lot too. the pit was kind of violent, but I knew 90% of the people in there.

ice_pick: they too so long to set up. I came down from WOJ early to get my first 2 songs. then I watched WOJ come out having finished their set... then caliban set up and start playing... finally, they came out and played 3 songs. no offense to death threat, hatebreed, or anyone, but it sucked. sorry guys, I will have to catch you when it's a good full set. they finished with a hatebreed song.

sonata_arctica: honestly, I thought these guys were bad too. it's a type of music that I just don't like. reminded me of sameal (who I don't like either), but with the stage antics of CoB. I don't know.. it might have helped if I had listened to their CD first.

strapping_young_lad: yes! it's been a while since I've seen them. a little too long IMHO. they ruled. devin is a very funny man. and some day, I will have hair just like that... though.. he's got dreds now which I don't care for.

terror: this is where the sound go WAY too loud. I honestly couldn't here any of the song that I didn't know. Scott vogel spent a lot of his time in the audience or on stage giving speeched. it was weird that he gave a speech about no rockstars on stage, but there was a stage hand running out and moving a chair for him to stand on and fixing the position of the mic chord. I was singing along with spit my rage, push it away and one other. during push it away, I saw the_moor launched almost out of the crowd. sitting on the side of the start, the pounding of the speakers was the most punishing of all the bands thus far.

god_forbid: the singer kept asking for people to "raise the flag" that meant to put up the horns. they have a new CD coming out and played some new new tracks. they also focused too much on the last cd, imho.

cryptopsy: AMAZING. the sound sucked, but... is freaking crytopsy. Lordworm's vocals were kind of lost in the mix. though when I heard that piano come in.. I knew what song was coming up. in the end, no drum solo, but lord worm lived up to his name and eat the worms. one was crawling down his neck... poor little guy. why he didn't feed the crowd, I'll never know. they also got the lits turned on for them cause their time was up.

bleeding_through: their new hair cuts are awesome. the singer's looke like a little school boy mixed with hitler. their set was awesome as usual. another set that I was singing along with all the time. high energy to the max.

chimaira: their set was ok. live, it's a lot better than on CD. Tally on drums to, which sounded awesome.

danzig: I heard that he was fat and old so no pictures during him.... just a rumor.
