I went to Winterjam recently with my church kids.  Except for Crowder and Britt Nichole, the rest of the artists had the same problems--especially Thousand Foot Krutch.  The mix on them was so poor that, if I had not known their music, I literally couldn't tell one song from another. 

The three times I've seen Thousand Foot Krutch, it was a bad mix.  Usually the vocals were drowned out - maybe it's the band... 

Well, hopefully I'll catch them with a competent sound man some day.

Skillet Unleashed Tour in Madison, WI last night

Metallica tomorrow 5/12/17 Philadelphia, PA.  Me and the Mrs. makes my third time seeing them and the first time for the Mrs.

Tomorrow!

So tonight I went to see Quiet Riot (for the 2nd time) and was blown away at how cool these guys are. Been into Glam Metal since day one, and these boys put on an amazing show. The new singer, James Durbin, may seem out of place being born in 1989, but he is excellent and did the band justice.

They played a great 17 song set (I posted it on www.setlist.fm if you want to view it). 

At one point, lead guitarist Alex Grossi broke a guitar string and the rest of the band covered "Dazed and Confussed" while he fixed it. Just so much energy exhibited by these guys tonight.

And I stuck around afterwards and was rewarded by getting to meet the drumming legend, Frankie Banali. Such a cool guy. It capped off a really neat evening.

For a very very very long time I was in a decent concert last thursday: Anathema (in Hellsinki). Almost 2,5 hrs of enjoyment. I like this band very much. I discovered it just a few months ago and the concert came in perfect time. I know the band´s early history was quite dark perhaps, but what I`ve understood, their music and lyrics have chanced a lot from past days. I recomment this one to all progressive rock fans.

Last week I went and saw Demon Hunter and Into The Flood, in Seattle, one of the best shows I have been to in a long time!

While in Slovakia we got to see Within Silence play and they were great!  They sounded awesome and played super tight.  They had great energy and the crowd was way into them too.  I also got to meet their singer and guitar player briefly which was fun as well.

I think we have to go to Europe to see most of the good Christian metal bands.

Yup, apparently even American bands like Theocracy...

I'm going to see Skillet tomorrow.

Last night I went to see Phinehas, Earth Groans, and Ghost Heart with Hardcore Christian and friends + family.  It was a ton of fun.  While I'm not the biggest metalcore fan, I must say, they make for great shows: tons of energy and good moshing.  The show was quite small - maybe 60 people total, but everyone present was really into it and the bands played their hearts out.  We all had a fantastic time!

hey kerrick!

going to see Phinehas tonight with my boy...

I'm not the biggest fan either but they're one of the bands I can get into pretty good. their music seems to have something more than just a straight up metalcore vibe to it...for one thing (am I remembering right? old age you know) actual SOLOS! and I love their acoustic record...

that said, it's mostly about the boy, as live shows are often not the greatest for me...

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself!

Can't wait for the next one, I'll post some photos when I get the chance

I'm looking forward to seeing them!  I think I made a pretty funny face in the group photo...

Continuing my slacking, to say that I am going to another show tonight in Portland

TDWP stole the show a couple weeks ago, but all three bands were stellar, FFAK played a ton of their new stuff so that was epic

Tonight I am going to see Mychildren Mybride perform Unbreakable in its entirety with Earth Groans (once again)

Gonna be epic

One of these days I will post photos from all three shows

Ha what a punk!  I hope Tuesday's show was a blast as well.

I never find time to upload photos to my computer

But if you guys want a quick look at a couple of highlight photos, I have some on my instagram

Time to resurrect a very old thread! 

I went to the first show in a looooooong time this Saturday and got to see Chase The Sun which was great.  (Myles their drummer is a member here on CMR too!)  They played a pretty even mix of some of my favorites from their debut album and some new songs - at least a couple of which had never been played live before.  The new songs are totally killer and include some of their heaviest stuff yet.  CTS sounds great live: more raw and intense than their studio material yet never compromising on the technical and intricate playing.  I highly recommend seeing them if you can, and buying their CD regardless!

Resurrecting this thread again... which is funny because it involves Chase The Sun haha.

This Saturday I'm going to be seeing Saint, and Chase The Sun is opening for them!  Even though I never did get into Saint (though who knows, maybe this show will change that!), I'm really excited.  I'm looking forward to hearing some new material from Chase The Sun too.  Should be great!

Cool! I think you will be impressed with Saint…where is the show?
