Holy shit! That is a fucking lineup. Congrats to Torture Squad for finally making it out of Brazil!

I'm fucking pissed that I've seen Overkill a couple of times and haven't seen In Union We Stand.

Torture Squad were outstanding. And Gama Bomb are diabolical. Second time I've had to witness them, and they're probably the most one-dimensional band I've ever seen.

Disappointing sets, all told, from Exodus and Overkill. Too many old songs, not enough variety, given that both have made excellent albums recently.

I think you might be on your own with that one.

No doubt. But any band who have made albums consistently their whole career and only play songs from 20 years ago live has made a mistake.

Both played better sets on their last tours.

Agreed. At least on the general mindset. I absolutely hate when a band makes a very good album and then doesn't play much off of it live. There are far too many bands who go on tour and play the dozen played-out hits and like 2 new songs. I think if bands aren't proud enough of their new albums to play more than a song or two off of them, they shouldn't be making them in the first place.

Now, I may not really know shit about Overkill, but I do know that Horrorscope is a killer album and that when I saw them, and now, they apparently don't realize this.

I've seen Coma, Nice Day For a Funeral, Blood Money, Thanx For Nothing, and Horrorscope.
