Talk about loud! This is the way you would expect to see a band like Manowar. At first I thought tickets were relatively over-priced but then being informed that they had opted out of letting people in the balcony because it would degrade the sound quality, I understood why the price was more than I had expected. It was worth every penny and Manowar didn't disappoint.
Manowar kicked ass. Such a classic, heavy band who have never wimped out or given into commercial pressure. Their sound is incredible--both melodic and intense. Few bands have lasted as long, and these guys have not lost a note. Honestly, if you're a fan of heavy metal's roots, Manowar is the band to see. They not only honor their commitment to their fans but once you see one of their shows you will realize others pale in comparison. And speaking of their fans? They are amazing people. Never have I enjoyed being in a crowd as much as a crowd of Manowar fans. People are right; they are like a family. I hope I get the chance to see one of their shows again. It is truly a privilege to see them live; they really are the kings!
Fox Theater in Pomona. Restored to Art Deco film and stage palace. Nice small venue and very good sight lines. Sound was amazing and LOUD like it should be. Even the smoking of the amplifier puts creedance into the 'Blow your speakers with Rock'n'Roll'. Eric Adam's voice was amazing as always. Joey provided Thunder on the Bass, Karl added the lightning on the guitar. Of course, Donnie kept the metal rhythm. I wish they would come and play the states more often. I need a consistent does of Metal Manowar! You do too.
The show was so epic and loud that an amp blew out after 2 songs. After replacing the amp, Manowar continued to shred and the show was extremely powerful and loud and pleasing to the eye. The music was so intense, it vibrated into my chest and down to my feet. I went deaf for days. But it was worth it!!!
Expensive. Others' reviews have already gone play by play. I'm glad I went, having never have seen them before. But I would not go again. It was, even for a metal show, simply unnecessarily too loud. I brought ear plugs, but I should have gone and had my ears sewn shut for the weekend and wore a pressurized deep diving suit. It was not physically pleasant listening. And, they did not do "Carry On" which was disappointing. The documentary segments were unnecessary as well.
Truly an awesome show. They rocked it from start to finish. I hope that they received the respect they are due from all of the US Manowarriors so that they will tour the US again soon, as they say they will. Look forward to seeing them again real soon. HAIL AND KILL.
Wow..this was way better than expected. They need to come back to the states soon.
Manowar did not disappoint. It was a face melting metal show that I will never forget!
Great music/vocals, entertaining performance, but maybe a little too much of the show spent on letting the guitar amplifiers feedback (hence 4 of 5 stars). I had wanted to see them for years but this is the first time they were near where I lived. Definitely worth it.
