AA okay for an opening band...
by naturallymorbid on 1/7/12Jacksonville Arena - JacksonvilleRating: 1 out of 5Saw them on the Buried Alive Tour with BVB, HU, and A7X. Listened to them on youtube before the concert and was excited to see if they held up to their CD quality. Yes and no. The songs, good. I enjoyed hearing them live and it was nice to know that what I had previewed online was what I was able to enjoy in person. The front man's antics, not so much. In fact, I was fairly disgusted with just him. Not only did he fail to gain the crowd's respect, he was unable to pull off a successful Wall of Death, and was pretty much unintelligible between songs, save for loads of profanity. Now, I don't mind profanity, as I prefer my music raw and unedited, but there is such a thing as swearing enough that it loses all meaning and the front man reached that point between songs. I was also pretty disgusted with how much he spit on the stage. In this day and age, where there are so many viruses floating around like H1N1 and such, there is no excuse for the amount of spitting that man did in such a short period of time. I can understand drinking water and spraying it out, as I've seen that at shows. But just spitting, pretty much anywhere? Not so much. As for the rest of the band, loved watching them spin, jump, and what have you all around the stage. Spent more of my time watching the guitarists than I did the front man. Would not see them as a headliner, but for an opening band they were okay.
