Megadeth!!

Alright, so last night I went and saw Megadeth and Slayer at Challenge Stadium =D

Megadeth, as per usual, were a solid set. Not as good as when they played at Metro City, but the acoustics in that place are better, and for some reason people just got crazier at Metro City.

Setlist was something like this.

Set the world Afire
Wake up Dead
Hangar 18
Skin O' My Teeth
Headcrusher
She-Wolf
Sweating Bullets
1,320'
Tornado of Souls
Symphony of Destruction
Peace Sells
Holy Wars...the Punishment Due


Possibly in a different order though...

Slayer were pretty disappointing, they're the Dave Lombardo band, really.

Dave Lombardo was a goddamn demon drummer, he was fucking amazing, but other than that, I find them to be totally average, just messy, really. Their 'solos' especially just pissed me off, there is nothing cool about making a 'waaaaaaaah' sound that lasts 25 seconds with the distortion pedal, or with randomly messily hitting random notes (I'm stressing the random). That being said, they did play one song, about halfway through, at a normal pace, and with Kerry King and 'Other guy' busting out proper solos. That was pretty cool.

Hasta Luego.
