Jagermeister Music Tour:
Slayer with Killswitch Engage and Mastodon


Concrete Street Amphitheater
Corpus Christi, Texas

Oh can you smell it when a Slayer concert is near? I know I can *glee*!! So I go into the Slayer website, and find out they're coming to Texas! Closest venue was in Corpus Christi's Concrete Street Amphitheater. For those of you who have never been to Concrete Street, its one of the best venues I've been to, there are plenty of bathrooms, there's food, and lots of places to sit down. There's lots of stuff to look at and hanging about is something everyone does. The amphitheater has 2 stages, one smaller than the other, um...alot smaller, that's where the concert was held. I wasn't too happy about that, but I guess I can see why, even though the entire area surrounding the little stage was filled with people crushed into each other.

On to the music you say? Alright, but first, lets go into entertainment. Lizardman (you know, the guy with all the lizard scales tattooed on him) was the master of ceremonies that evening. Don't ask me, I just work here. The first band was a local-(ish) band who's name I can't remember, they were great though, put alot of heart into their show, and were extremely talented. One of the better opening acts in the latest series of concerts I've attended.

The next band was Mastodon, which is a band who's music I had also never heard, and hadn't seen them live (at least I don't remember seeing them live). They were also great, thought they put on a great show. I really can't say much about this band because I don't own any of their albums, though what I heard from them and the crowd reaction, they got a good amount of energy.

Up next was Killswitch Engage, This is a band I've seen a few times, I've always been impressed with their shows and their music, I think they're great, HOWEVER... This new song they're playin all over the place, you know the one from the Resident Evil Apocalypse soundtrack, I HATE IT. It goes waaaay too far into the powerballad genre, and personally, I think that sucks, their other songs are great though and they put on one hell of a performance.

Maybe some of you have been living under a rock somewhere in the North Pole and have never heard of Slayer. The Feeling, The Sound, the RELIGION that IS Slayer... How loyal are the fans? Pretty damn loyal, I know myself and my husband would probably do just about anything to see them, including drive into a city where its boring as hell except for the beach and the concerts, we'd also do some less than able to print things to see one of their shows. They don't disappoint, no one can leave a Slayer show and say they sounded bad, didn't try or sucked, it just never happens, I've seen em in enough weather conditions to say they don't ever suck... They don't ever slack off on their sound, they always sound exceptional, and this concert, whooooo...after watching them at the Ozzfest this year, I was DYING to see them do a full concert stead of the 30 measly minutes they were allowed during the Ozz... I was not disappointed, they sounded awesome, I didn't want them to leave! I left the concert begging for more from them, spent over 300 dollars on Slayer STUFF. Wheeled and Dealed a Jager music tour vinyl wall sized poster from a beer vendor. There was alot of sing with Slayer time at this concert (you know what that is). They played all their best songs, it had to be the best show I've seen this concert season. Why are they on tour? New album? Greatest hits album? Nope, they are promoting their new DVD, Still Reigning, and I definitely agree, these guys will rule the metal world for all time, and no one will ever be able to touch them... Want to visit Slayer's website and finding the dot com is not it? Check out http://www.slayer.net, the band's official website.

In closing, I'd like to say I was and still am a big fan of Pantera and Damageplan, the loss of Dimebag Darrell is a huge blow to the entire metal community, my heart goes out to his family, his friends, and his fans (myself included). He was a great man.

Until Next time...
Eternal,
Barbie
