I don't know how anyone likes Marilyn Manson. I've seen him twice when he opened for Alice in Chains and again with Slipknot and he was fucking terrible both times. You could tell he did not want to be on stage. He would constantly walk off stage, he'd come back bang the mic on his podium causing ear piercing feedback and fuck off off stage again. He's fucking terrible live.

As far as moshes go... You haven't seen shit till you've been to a Slayer concert and been in the "Wall of death"

Yeah, a pit at a more proper metal show will be way more hard core than Manson. I’ve seen some pretty gnarly stuff at punk/hardcore shows as well.

Sleep Token blends a lot of genres. Some songs are screaming metalcore, some more electronic, some very bluesy and slow and some hip hop. Very artsy. Their live shows are cool from what I’ve seen on YouTube.

Jack White is one of my favorite guitarist, and he can switch to rock, jazz, especially blues, like Carolina Drama. But Monday I was getting a new vinyl I pre-ordered a couple months ago. I notice it's not on the porch. Go to the mail box and the fucker bent it and it even says delivered into mailbox. I have had 100's of vinyls delivered to me but this fucking baffeled me, pissed me off, curse words flying, then wondering how someone could be so fucking stiupid.

My first concert without parents, IE - Not their music) was Megadeth at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. I've seen Megadeth there quite a few times since then, but we don't really get bands out here in Hawaii. The largest venue, now that the stadium has been torn down, is the Blaisdell Arena, which has a seated floor plan of 7,700 people, or a standing floor plan of 8,800 people. It's big but not huge, and you would have people behind the stage as well, unless you curtain it off the way most acts do.

I don't remember what exact order I did concerts in, but I had been to 4 or 5 or so before I saw Slayer live. I remember thinking "ah, right about here should put me far enough back so I can watch the show without being in the pit"

Then Disciple started and the pit opened up around me.

Ive seen Papa Roach a few times live and they always have a wall of the death. The crowd still goes hard for them. Highly recommend seeing them live. Great live show with insane energy.

This Slayer talk reminded me.

A few months ago I'm in Costco and I see this late 40's/early 50's mexican dude in a Slayer shirt, pretty heavy tattoos etc. As we cross paths I throw him a subtle \M/ and he returns a 'fuck yeah' head nod/facial expression. It was pretty awesome and totally made my day :cool:

I thought his set at Knotfest 2016 was actually pretty good. Guess, I got lucky, because Deftones ended their set with Engine no. 9. I've heard of the infamous "Wall of Death", never experienced it or really seen it tbh, although, I would love to see it while Dead Skin Mask is playing. I feel you on the Manson thing, seems like he is hit or miss on his shows, just like Rob Zombie, even though I've never been to a Rob Zombie or White Zombie show, Rob doesn't have endurance like when he was younger, and didn't seem like he had much then lol.

I wish I was there for this epic joining of Vocal greatness, and would be the furthest away from Getty Lee voice as possible.
The "new" remix of Opiate ---- Opiate² is one pf my favorite songs on rotation atm.

I've never been a fan of Manson his music has always been boring to me and his shows were no different. Still to this day, I have never seen a better band live than Metallica. Granted, they're not what they were in the early 90s when I saw them on their Binge and Purge tour but still one of hell of a show.
