Nothing planned right now. I am still waiting for Eric Johnson or Steve Vai to get to my area. Hopefully it will be sometime in my lifetime. It amazes me that they don't even come to the Tri-State area....EVER! Why?!

The only concert that I have tickets to right now is the Bamboozle Festival, at which No Doubt is headlining.
Hoping for a bunch more towards the summer, like Bon Jovi, Elton John/Billy Joel, Poison, and Kaiser Chiefs.

So I went to see Keane a few nights ago, and I have to say they are amazing live. Pop rock at it's very best.
The energy and sheer rapport they have with the audience is amazing.
The 02 was full to capacity (23,000) with people from all over the world. I lost count of all the different flags waving about, and the different accents/dialects I heard.
It was my first time at the 02 and it's a truly fantastic arena -- acoustically as well as aesthetically.
The set list was as follows:
The Lovers Are Losing Everybody's Changing Bend and Break Better Than This Again and Again A Bad Dream This is The Last Time Spiralling Try Again Sunshine Snowed Under The River You Haven't Told Me Anything Leaving So Soon? You Don't See Me Perfect Symmetry Somewhere Only We Know Crystal Ball ---Encore----- Playing Along Black Burning Heart Is It Any Wonder? Bedshapped

Slipknot show was awesome! They announced on radio yesterday no Ozzfest this year though. Next up is Black Tide this Wednesday followed by the Bonnaroo Festival in June. Bonnaroo's gonna be pretty good this year. Springsteen, Phish, and Nine Inch Nails (a suprising add to a usual hippy festival) headlining.......

Judas Priest/Megadeth/Testament @ Wembley Arena on February 21st
Wishbone Ash @ Shepherds Bush Empire on May 16th
I'm also going to the Priest Feast on Saturday - can't wait.
Not going to the Wishbone Ash gig, but I was quite tempted as the godlike genius of It Bites are supporting!

I'm really psyched up. I've got my Judas Priest/Megadeth playlist going like there is no tomorrow.
I have to admit, I don't know very much about Testament.
I booked the tickets for Wishbone Ash before It Bites were announced as support. I've never even heard of them, so I'll have to check out a few cds.

You are in for a treat with Testament. It is heavy a$$ metal, but Alex Skolnick on guitar is trained in classical and jazz. His way of mixing in all these different styles into metal is very awesome. Check this out:
Three of the greatest Metal bands in history. All under one roof. Amazing.
Thanks to a combination of laziness and the London Underground, I got to Wembley Arena late, and missed most of Testaments set. The 2 songs that I heard were very good and the crowd seemed to be really into them. I even saw a few people with Testament shirts on.
Testament (18:30-19:00)
Over The Wall The New Order More Than Meets The Eye Souls Of Black Practice What You Preach D.N.R 3 Days In Darkness The Formation Of Damnation
Megadeth were up next, and they were immense. The sheer number of people wearing Megadeth shirts was incredible -- someone should have told them they weren't headlining..
It was a fairly generic setlist, but with only an hour to play with, what did anyone expect.
Megadeth (19:30-20:30)
Sleepwalker > Wake Up Dead Take No Prisoners A Tout Le Monde Washington Is Next She-Wolf In My Darkest Hour Symphony of Destruction Skin O' My Teeth Hangar 18 Peace Sells ------------- Holy Wars
Wake Up Dead, A Tout Le Monde, In My Darkest Hour were the highlights for me.
Judas Priest came on next and blew everyone away.
I've been reading blogs/reviews on previous dates during the Priest Feast tour, and the sheer number of people favouring Megadeth during the tour was pretty unsettling to say the least. I like Megadeth, but they are no Priest.
I'm sure that they've been aware of this as well, and wanted to come out and show everyone that they are not passed it. They succeeded with flying colours -- they were easily the best band on the night.
The highlights for me were, Hell Patrol, Painkiller, Eat Me Alive, Sinner, Between The Hammer and The Anvil and the epic Metal Gods.
Judas Priest (21:00-22:45)
Dawn of Creation(Intro) Prophecy Metal Gods Eat Me Alive Between The Hammer And The Anvil Devil's Child Breaking The Law Hell Patrol Death Dissident Aggressor Angel Electric Eye Rock Hard Ride Free Sinner Painkiller ---------------- Hell Bent For Leather The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown) You've Got Another Thing Comin'

Yeah I was up on the side (right hand side as you look at the stage)....I had a great view of the Mosh pit....I was scared of it up there haha. People really shouldn't run in to each other and beat the crap outta each other in the name of music. You paid the money...watch the freakin band Posts: 981 | From: If they dont kiss, they dont fall in love | Registered: Sep 2004 | Site Updates: 0
