I beg to differ. Slayer is my second favorite band of all time, and I consider Reign through Seasons their best.


Anyway, the show was amazing. I was on the rail to the far right for Testament and Megadeth. There really wasn't much going on, so I didn't really enjoy myself as much as I could've. I don't know, but I really wasn't feeling Megadeth, but I think that's just because the crowd was pretty dead where I was. For Slayer I was in the pit the whole time. Let me just say that this was easily the best time I had at a thrash show. The pits were insane yet so much fun at the same time, though the crowd died down a little bit during the three "meh" songs towards the end of Seasons (suck it, Mank). But once Raining Blood started, the pit erupted.

Overall, Testament and Megadeth were both great, but I wasn't really feeling it (though Trial by Fire was awesome). Slayer was amazing. I don't care what anyone says, but that set was awesome. Blood Red, Spirit in Black, and Expendable Youth were all amazing.

I'm glad Megadeth got a 10. I'm going to be seeing those boys on September 28th.

I was in section 128. I agree that the sound was really good for both Megadeth and Slayer (we missed Testament). But Dave's voice was really off early on. I've noticed this previous 2 times I had seen Megadeth before this (Sonisphere in the theatre, and in Scranton, PA in the spring). I think age might just be kicking in on his vocals. His voice did start to sound better on later into the set and especially when he stuck to more the growling style of singing. Musically they were great. Dead on and the solos were killer. This Megadeth lineup is proving out to be their best(IMO).

Slayer of course was awesome. 'nuff said. Not sure I could ever complain about what songs they choose to play. Loved that they played the entire "Seasons..." as I loved seeing them play the entire "Reign..." a few years ago. I could see them do this for "South..." and "God..." and be just as happy.

Does Testament go on right at 7:00? I may have to miss a little of them, hope not... but honestly the last three or four times I have seen Testament the sound has been complete crap, they really need to get a new sound guy or whatever.
