Plus the younger, club going metal audience doesn't make much noise between songs like an AC/DC or Maiden audience so metal club acts don't do encores because the audience doesn't know what to do when waiting for them.

It's not so much the lack of encore, rather it felt like there were a few neglected tracks that could have been added to a great, but too short set.

2 Cents was the opener with a local band as well. No Clutch or Bodom.

Being part of the younger crowd, I don't make any noise during the planned encore time. Because if the lights don't come on, it's obvious the band is coming back out, so why bother making noise? And if the lghts do come on and the staff is already working on load out, it's obvious they're not gonna do another song, so again, why bother? Of all the shows I've been to this year, I've only made noise during one planned encore.... And that's because it was fucking Danzig. ANd it's illegal to not scream for Danzig.

In this river was the highlight for me, I saw them last time they came through when zakk did like a 20 minute solo for that song, it was kinda cool to see Nick do one this go around; and suicide messiah.
Here's our set: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...524B0C2151A719

Hey Zakk...Stronger than Death called. It wants you to play some songs off it.
