Anthrax and Testament Tickets

Great show!! The bands all tore it up and the sound was fantastic. I love the Warfield, there's no place better to see a show.

This is my 5th Anthrax show since 1988, all original line-up and the only one I didn't enjoy much. The sound was way too loud, unreasonably loud. Anthrax has a sharp razor-like distortion, it sounded bassy and you couldn't here Joey singing, with very little back up vocals. I liken the sound to one of these grunge-rock screamo bands with an incoherent mix of screaming and big bassy distortion. Anthrax sold out there signature sound for a jumble mess of too much bass and volume in order to satisfy the Five Finger Death Punch crowd. I think that's the last Anthrax for me. Though I will still buy their albums.

I was two people from the front right where Scott Ian was. I had a perfect view of Kirk Hammett coming out and singing with him. And jammin to Whiplash! Testament still put on the best show, but all three Death Dangel Testament and Anthrax did not dissapoint! Having Kirk there gave it that San Francisco flavor!

Anthrax Testament Death Angel & Chimaira all killed!!!The only drag was that it was on a Sunday night,but didn't stop stellar performances and the always top notch bay area metal crowd!!

Anthrax and Testament were good but Death Angel had the crowd and energy. The lead guitarists' little kid was able to be seen on the side of the stage rocking out. How cool is it to watch his dad shred in front of a thousand fans. All in all, great show!

The sound was fantastic. The groups which I had seen before were overwhelming in every sense. During Anthrax, there was even some drama which I don't totally grasp on stage. Nobody was hurt and they went right on playing but it was exciting. Would totally recommend these groups to anyone looking for some awesome music

Death Angel was suprisingly really, really good. Testament had a lot of energy but the sound was distorted. You couldn't hear any of Chuck Billy's words, but overall a good performance. Anthrax killed it! They did a great job of mixing the new songs in with the classics. Joey continues to be one of the best frontman in metal today. There was a pit going on in the floor that lasted practically for the entire set. I've never even seen that at a Slayer show! Plus Joey got tackled by a fan and the security at the same time. They stopped halfway into the song and Frankie had to be held back cuz he was gonna kick some ass!

Club Nokia Staff made us wait 20 minutes longer than published doors open time. VIP entrance closed so had to wait in general admission line. Had to use the restroom, was told if I left my spot in line I would lose it as they couldn't allow anyone else up on the platform (3rd floor up). Rude staff! But the view from the Balcony was incredible and all 3 bands put on phenomenal shows.

Great show, great venue.. Staff, less than. (Club Nokia) you really need to have a "come to jesus" meeting with your staff, everyone I encountered were either rude, disrespectful or down right arrogant.

Awesome Show. Must see if you like heavy metal music.

Show was great! Been 12 years since I have seen Anthrax and more like 16 since Testament. Both bands showed they could still bring it live. Seem to be re-energized with the new legion of fans out there. Many of which are probably the children of those of us who go back to the 80's with them. Missed Death Angel back in the day. Would love to see the classic lineup but they put on a very good set for the short time they had. Good mix of the old and new. Alex was just on fire. As were both Rob and Scott!. would have given this show another star bit the vocals were a bit buried in the mix for all three bands. Part sound man/ part venue imo. Can't blame the bands for that.

the bands all performed incredibly. The sound had a lot to be desired and this was the fault of the venue. Engineers seem to think we only want to feel drums and nothing else. The guitars needed to be turned up or rather, the drums turned down in order to even know what song was being played. That being said, the guitars did gradually get louder and became easier to hear all the instruments.

Having these two old school thrash bands kick off in my home town was an incredible evening, Both bands still deliver the crunching metal I've grown to love. Death Angel opened the show, and it took the sound guy thru the 2nd song to get the mix right but I was very impressed with them. Testament is one of my top 5 metal bands, Chuck Billy's growly - vocals still hit the mark, Skolnik's amazing solo's, John Tempesta filling the double kick's, and Greg and Eric doing their part all sounded and played great. To hear the old tunes live again were awesome, the crowd really got going on "Into the Pit," one of my favorite songs and to whomever the guy was I layed out in the pit, sorry bro, you got to bring your game to come into this pit!" Testament deserves so much more credit for what they do and what they stand for, the guys are awesome and they play metal because they live metal. GREAT show, you have to see them. Anthrax brought it's A - game right out of the gate. I was very impressed with the new material live, but the energy between then band and the crowd was incredible. They rocked the old classics like awlays, but the new cd is worth every penny. Great show and Grand Rapids needs more metal, keep em coming! For those metal heads that truly love these two bands, you got to go, they deserve it and you will walk away wanting more. Can't wait for Testament's new CD, whenever that comes out. GREAT CONCERT!!

Overall a good show. The atmosphere was perfect. The crowd was very friendly, as most metal crowds tend to be. The only drawback was the sound. Im not sure who is in charge of sound, but the vocal and bas mix was very low. Mostly guitar and drums. Even by the soundboard the vocals were unintelligable.

All of the bands were tight and awesome, but that was overshadowed by bad sound and clunky changovers. This was the first night of the tour, so some of that is understandable. However, the crews have a lot of work to do to get it right.

If you are a fan of either one of these bands make sure you check out this show. I have seen both bands many times through the years but they have never sounded better than what I heard at their tour kick off show in Grand Rapids, MI. The music was flawless and both Chuck Billy and Joey Belladonna voices' were amazing!! I am hoping that both bands will be back around soon!!!

As if Anthrax is not more than enough killer metal for an old school headbanger, toss in Death Angel & Testament. It was a metal head's dream.

Bottom line it was a kick ass night of old school Metal and all three bands delivered big time!

Great way to kick-off the tour. Nice venue with friendly staff.
