I doubt they'll ever do On Fire again. Wolf, while a solid backup singer in his own right, simply doesn't have the range that Mike did.

Yea your right,but Light Up The Sky would work as well,and now that I think of it,Everybody Wants Some would be an epic opener as well

Churchill's Speech / Aces High is pretty hard to top.

Best Closer I've seen: Bury Me In Smoke by Down.

Agree on both these. Was mad pumped to see Disciple and I'm pretty sure Slayer started with it this year at Mayhem, I went apeshit especially with dat breakdown. Though Composure by ABR the first time I saw em was pure mayhem, the floor just fucking erupted. Def agree with Bury Me In Smoke here, I was in heaven during this song especially with the Nothing in Return sprinkled in there plus jam session.

Dude carnage pursued here but the last time we saw Suffo was crazier, I was scared shitless to even go into the pit.

Also Hit or Miss by NFG and Quicksand by TSSF= awesometacular closers!

Best opener I've seen: Exhumed - All Guts, No Glory

Best opener I want to see: Dissection - At the Fathomless Depths/Night's Blood... I can dream, right?

Best closer I've seen: Symphony X - The Odyssey

Best closer I want to see: Immolation - Close to a World Below - They always play it, but in the beginning/middle of the set, which makes absolutely no fucking sense. Ending with it would be so epic.

Aces High cannot be beaten by anything


Cheers !

Best Opener I've Seen
As stated a few pages back; Virgin Black Lacrimosa (Gather Me)/Domine.

Best Closer I've Seen
That's the toughest one for me to answer. I'm usually tired by the end of most shows from standing for so long (I'm old, fuck you) and honestly I'm ready for most concerts to be done. But Entombed doing Left Hand Path was very cool. So until I remember something else that's my answer.

Best Concert Opener I Want To See
I'd love to see Pig Destroyer open with Pissangel. I know they play that song live still but I don't think as an opener. And I think three guys walking on stage , not saying a word and bursting into that song would be so awesome.

Best Closer I Want To See
Sigur Ros Untitled 8. I know they play that song live too but I'm not sure if it's still their closer. I'm seeing them in March so we'll see. I think it's one of the best closing tracks on an album I've ever heard and I've heard Sigur Ros are incredible live, so I think it would be awesome.
