Exodus - September 3rd

[SadisticRitual]

i honestly thought malevolent creation was kind of boring live

Their tone was pretty god awful too. I could only stand watching there set for 2 mins before I felt like my head was going to explode.
Wasn't the case for Bonded by Blood and Holy Grail though. They ruled.

yeah i thought Holy Grail wasn't bad live. honestly i can't get into the recordings though. and don't get me wrong i like some Malevolent Creation i just thought it sounded all distorted and unclear. i couldn't really tell what they were playing half the time. it almost sounded like generic death metal even though i know that's not the case. Bonded By Blood was by far the most fun and as for Exodus i didn't think it was bad but i didn't recognize anything they were playing for the time i stayed to watch them

[CAlexanderParra]

Yeah, Holy Grails EP didn't do anything for me either. Hoping their album turns out good.

[SlashAndThrash]

Exodus was seriously awful the last time i saw them, its good to know that nothing has changed and i didn't miss out on anything. Damn shame considering they were once my favorite band.

That was one of the weirdest shows that I've been to in a long time.

There was an older guy there, big, with a cane. At some point, he and another guy went into the stall together in the men's room. I have *no* idea what they were trying to do. There was another older guy, looked like he was a gym teacher, who got progressively more drunk and violent. He was not making friends in the pit and ended up ripping some dude's shirt, then turning to me for absolution, which I could not give. There was a couple that was dry humping out on the main floor. There were a lot of country folk there, it seemed. Someone threw firecrackers during a song. (I was looking for Mark.) There were punks, in fights. One of them went over to the older guy with the cane and asked to borrow it, so that he could get even. And, after the show, one of the gym teacher's friends came randomly up to me and said, "Do you vant to zee zometing?" and pulled some sort of cloth out of his front pocket and held it up about ten inches from my face. I think it was one of Tom Hunting's gloves. "It is stinky" the German gym teacher's friend explained. (I assume that the gym teacher was German, as well.) WTF?!

But I got to hear "Piranha" and that made the night.

Jesus Harold Christ.

Someone threw firecrackers during a song.

Any Dickless shithead that would bring firecrackers into a show and throw them around where people can't see, should drug out and beaten. This is an example of the stupidest kind of loser undeserving of the privelege of concert attendance.

that dude was there for pentagram earlier this year. nice guy, gave us some awesome weed and bought a bunch of used cd's from me... he was really bummed we didn't have any XL or bigger shirts though haha.

Man, we must have had the same vantage point, because that is the exact same shit I saw. Save for the dudes in the pisser together. I'd guess they were doing drugs of some sort or another. Semi -interestingly, there were at least three morbidly obese dudes at that show. Some midget looking dude seemed to be out of his skull on acid and the kid in the wheelchair was smoking fat cigars??

That gym teacher dude was awesome. For a bit we were sitting at the table next to him and his buddy who was obviously in love with him. I counted close to a case of Heinekens that the two of them had polished off. Gross. Who drinks Heineken without the Jeep beats kicking? I wouldn't have pegged them for Germans, more like suburban yahoos, but it's not too surprising. The funniest thing to me was how anytime the gym teacher started to bro down with some dude, his buddy lept on him and body pressed him against a wall. Jealousy can be such an ugly emotion...That shit about the stinky glove is amazing. He must be a HUGE Spinal Tap fan. And German.

Exodus was good, but I really do get bored with all the Dukes era material. I'd much rather hear a good percentage of the first four albums.

BbB was very good on the big stage. They came off very tight and very pro. Wish I had skipped the shitty dinner at the horrible Fuze Burger and had caught their whole set.

Malevolent Creation was a super pleasant surprise. I'd always just thought of them as third string FL DM and never really gave them the time of day. Now, I'm DLing all their shit so that I can figure out where to start buying. Suggestions?


The people watching at this show was top notch and has inspired me to make a few Public Service Announcements:

1. Bands - Please, never, ever say "Hotlanta." It's not cool now and never has been save for possibly a couple months at the height of the disco-era, approximately June-August 1976.

2. Old Dudes - Don't tuck your "extreme" metal shirt into your high waisted Dad jeans. It's really just embarressing for all of us.

3. Young Dudes - Skipping in the pit isn't moshing. It's skipping. Skipping hasn't been cool since you were in first grade and even then it was questionable. Watch some old videos and learn some moves then come school the rest of the suburban yahoos.

That is all.

Better late than never I guess. Retribution and The Ten Commandments are really all you need as far as I'm concerned.

[donkeytron]

Eternal and Conquering South America are essentials to me as well, besides 10 Commandments and Retribution. I met a dude in a wheelchair at MDF this year that was smoking ridiculous fat cigars...I think he said he was from Alabama, probably the same dude.

I think I was standing 10 feet in front of you. If only I had known, I would have introduced myself.

I was sort of meh on Malevolent Creation, which I had problems pronouncing all night. I swear that it wasn't the beer.

Some funny shit! The new Exodus CD is sounds pretty good to me!

Haha these are spot on.

I still reserve the right to say Hotlanta while on stage but being that we're from here i think it makes it ok.

Yeah. Those guys were pretty entertaining. My favorite part was when they were standing back to back in the pit. Haha.

I thought Exodus were okay. They got a bit boring after awhile. I wanted to hear more older stuff.

Bonded By Blood were they surprise of the night for me. I've only heard their first CD and thought it was just okay, nothin' special. They were really fun live and their performance was great. They also had the best sound of the night.

Sorry I missed Sadistic Ritual downstairs. I thought I was early, but by the time I got there they had played already.

can't do much else when everyone else is just running in a circle haha. i was hoping more real moshing would break out but it seemed most of the time it was just a few shoves here and there.

Guilty as charged. Guess I was just in the moment and there was no one to shove or run into
