It was fucking amazing. I heard about it at 12:30am and was exstatic. I arrived late around 1:30ish and met up with John and got my ticket. From there I went to the second stage where Whitechapel came out with guns blazing!! It was an awesome start to an amazing day! I had never heard of them before Mayhem but they were freaking awesome!!! Job For A Cowboy came next and they were just as bad ass! I got in the mosh pit for a bit. But the real highlight of my day was the Polish metal masters Behemoth. They were the best musically wise. The opened it up with Slaves Shall Serve and the mosh pit was a riot for a while.
Not long after I got in line and got a photo with them ^_^ it was living the dream! I will remember for a very long time :)
All That Remains played not long after and put on a fucking killer show of love their singers' sense of humor. "I see a bunch of pussies, no wait its raining so your a bunch of wet pussies! now fucking and form a motherfucking pit!" I also liked their bassist :D
after a brief hiatus to stop by and say hello to Killswitch engage and shake their hands I moved toward the main stage where the tech crew was preparing for Bullet For My Valentines opening act. I have know complaints they were fucking insane!!! The guitars solos were excruciatingly crazy and they played even heavier live then on the CD's.
Killswitch Engage single handed stole the show with the pyrotechnics and awesome performances the played all my favorite songs and then some @.@ its was unbelievable. The wall of death form during Rose of Shayrn like I've never seen :D Holy Diver was insane because they made the solos even more crazy then normal :D
Slayer wasn't all that bad but they had long songs and didn't interact with the crowd as much as the past 2 bands did but over all fucking awesome \m/
Marilyn Manson was another of the days surprises. Keeping us on the edge of our seats with We're From America the intro was fucking awsome! I heard quite a few of my favorite songs including The Dope Show, Antichrist Superstar, and The Beautiful People. He by far put on the best show with insane lighting and good crowd involvement :D this day was the best :)
