StrappingYoungLad, Agony Scene, Misery Signals, Reflux 4/29
Anyone else going to this? I'm excited about SYL and Reflux.
Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.

I thought the show was pretty good. Reflux was badass, Misery Signals was forgettable, and the Agony Scene cancelled so SYL got to the stage sooner! Devin's guitar was way down in the mix (for good reason I suppose) and Gene Hoglan is a big dude. Awesome set though and the AC/DC tune to kick off the encore was funny.
After the show I got to preview some of the new Daath with Kevin Talley, Jim Malone's guitar solo and a few other tracks. It's fuckin awesome - I can't wait for the final product to come out.

Strapping Young Lad was awesome. I didn't expect them to rock out as hard as they did. And playing the first 3 songs of City in a row was just awesome. And ending with Detox was even better. And of course the song SYL. It'd be cool if he could actually say "I fucking hate you" 8 times in a row like he does on the CD, instead of just "fucking hate"

Excellent show from SYL -- glad to see someone else agreed that Devy's guitars were low in the mix. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but (apropos of nothing ) he told me after the show that he's imbibing a lot less on the weed now. Many thanks to Devy, and Tracy back at the home-office, for being extra cool.
The sign on the merch counter was almost funnier than Devy's infamous stage banter.

At times, it actually seemed like they had Devin's and Jed's guitars panned, hard, left and right. Especially when one of them played alone, it was very obvious to hear the guitars were panned. That is a HUGE no-no for live sound mixing, and I'm not sure who's idea that was. When they were playing together though, I couldn't really tell, but it seemed like I was mostly hearing Jed. I don't necessarily think it was because Devin was substanially lower in the mix, although I suspect it was some, but I think it was mostly because of the difference in Devin's and Jed's guitar tones. Jed was using a dryer tone, while Devin had more fuzz, and hence more highs (hehehehe), in his tone. Jed's tone was carrying better, which is always the case with a dryer tone (hint to all guitarists out there, dry out your tone if you want to be heard live!). My biggest complaint of the night was that they had Gene's snare up too high, and I didn't like the way it was EQed, but now I'm just getting nitpicky.
I had a fucking blast at this show and my neck is still sore as hell. Devy's stomping around in tune with that wide-eyed look on his face with all the chaos going on behind him was one of the coolest things I've seen a frontman do in a while.
Wonder where he gets that energy from... must be from all that extra genitalia he has to lug around.
