| Review | |||
It was very cold that evening so when I arrived in front of the "Stadthalle"
there were only about 80 people waiting. I met there with a friend so that
we would attend the show together. Until 7.00 in the evening more and more
people showed up screaming "Slaaayeeeer".
At 7.10 the doors opened and we went inside the Stadthalle which has a volume of about 4000 - 5000 people (sold out!). At 8.00 System of a Down started, their music is really screwed up very very strange. Between the songs people started screaming for Slayer. At around 9.00 Sepultura got on stage, they played a very bad tracklist, too many stuff off their new Album "Against" and "Roots". The only classics they played were "Troops of Doom", "Beneath the Remains", "Inner Self", "Arise" and "Embryonic Cells". They also played a lot of medleys which wasn't a good idea in my opinion. People still screamed for Slaaayeeer! Sepultura left the stage at around 10.00. Then we waited for about 20 minutes, the lights went out, and there they were: SLAYER! They started with "Bitter Peace", I'd preferd "Hell Awaits" but who cares. They even played "Evil has no boundaries" off "Show no Mercy" and everybody screamed "EVIL!". When they played "Raining Blood" everybody screamed and chanted. Slayer gave a superb performance and showed once again that they are the best metal band around. At the end of the show they threw picks and drumsticks into the crowd, and Tom Araya shook hands with some fans. At the end Tom even spoke some German words "Vielen dank und auf wiedersehen!". I hope I can remember the tracks in the right order, so here they are! |
