This show was some fun times. Zoroaster drummer is one of my favorites to watch live, he hits those drums so loving hard. Last time I saw them with Weedeater he broke a stick 15 seconds into the first song. Kvelertak was also surprising entertaining live, more so than I expected.

Only problem was the venue in chicago is this hole in the wall bar(WHICH I LOVE, loving greatest venue, nunslaughter show and eyehategod show there were two of the best ever)....that is in the middle of hipsterville so the entire crowd for the Kvelertak show were hipsters who show up just for something to do.

Yeah it was a loving awesome show. Even the two local bands, October and Liquified Guts, were pretty enjoyable. I was standing probably 30-40 yards from the stage during Zoroaster's set and still my whole body was vibrating, absolutely nuts

It's probably something to do with the way he died, rather than the fact that he was a musician who died. How many Pete Steele memorial concerts have there been this year? Not many I would imagine.

I saw Alice Cooper last summer when he performed at the Odyssey Arena in between Thin Lizzy and Def Leppard. Admittedly I'd gone for the headliner (since I'm a hopeless melodic slush-rock fan), but there's no question that Alice Cooper stole the show.

I'm not sure if he's still interpolating "Another Brick In the Wall" into "School's Out"; it's a nice touch. He did that when I saw him, and it cracked me up.

I saw him way back in middle school and he put on such an amazing loving performance. Probably still the single most fun show in that way that I've attended.

I go every year regardless but last year I wasn't too excited about the lineup. This next year looks like it's off to a pretty drat good start. I'm glad they're breaking their unwritten no power/trad heavy metal rule by bring Manilla Road in.

With that rule now broken I think it'd be bad rear end if they could get King Diamond and Running Wild for next year. Both just got back to touring this year after a long hiatus and would be awesome for MDF.

I wanted to go to MDF so bad last year but extenuating circumstances didn't make it possible. The lineup is already off to an awesome start for next year though so I'm really going to try and make it this time

I asked him about it when they played Chicago a year ago, he said something to the tune of thats pretty much over, that was a razorback records thing. Acid Witch is no longer on RB, and it doesnt sound like he plans on doing anything more with Horrific.

That's really unfortunate, the Horrific album is awesome.

Eyehategod was my favorite of the weekend, Take as Needed for Pain all the way through was so fuckin good. First day Frozen Soul, Undeath, Worm and Gorguts all killed it. My buddy and I left after a few songs into TBDM because neither of us were fans and we were honestly bored.. they just do nothing for me :shrug: Second day I thought All Out War was very impressive, Incantation Diabolical Conquest set was amazing, and it was my first time seeing Suicidal Tendencies so that was a lot of fun and my body is still very sore now.

mostly agreed, eyehategod, incantation, gorguts, and worm were definitely the standouts. Undeath sounds like a death metal version of Madball. not a band i would buy albums of but would go see live because it was stupid kind of fun. frozen soul i missed completely though because i wanted to get food from the outdoor grill and hang out in the smoking section bullshitting with random people for awhile

Got out to a show last night and caught UADA/Possessed, which was an interesting little duo. UADA are loving great live, and I did not know the lead singer for Possessed has been in a wheelchair since '89. Crazy poo poo. Fun show.

They're coming here this weekend (as is Moonspell) and I'd had both shows as definite must gos. But then I went to the venue they're performing at for the first time earlier this week to see Harakiri for the Sky, Ghost Bath, and Unreqvited and the venue was an absolute poo poo hole in a bad way with the worst acoustics and sound mixing i've ever born witness to. I'm just going to save my money instead of going and having a lovely time because the only audible thing is the god drat drums. This place is now hoovering up like 80% of the metal shows coming to the city and it's a really depressing future to think about.
