So I went to an old-school concert last night... Raven Black, Wednesday13, Dope, Devildriver, & Static-X. So I had never heard of the first two, but they weren't who I was there to see, obviously (for the record they were pretty damned decent, particularly Wednesday13). Devildriver ended up canceling the rest of the tour (for them) like 3days before. So it was basically me driving for 1.5hrs each way, to go see two bands that I've already seen multiple times... and it was. Worth. Every. Minute.
Best damned show I've seen in years, which was both surprising, and not... anytime a band reform's after one of the (or in this case the one) core members passes, it's always a guess how it will go... well it went about like a trip back 20yrs to the Wisconsin Death Trip tour, so that was absolutely effin magical. Especially apporpros as they are doing to whole thing as a tribute to Wayne Static.
So, if any of the other resident metalheads have a chance to, I'd recommend catching that tour if/when it comes by...
