Subliminal Verses Report from Green Bay, WI
Band Photo: Slipknot (?)
Well, here I am again seeing Slipknot again. Probably my sixth or seventh time, but the main reason I am here is for Lamb of God. I guess I shouldn't complain seeing I am in lowly Green Bay Wisconsin. There hasn't been a quality show here in quite a while.
With a crowd of about 3600 on hand at the brand new Resch Center, Shadows Fall were up to bat first. American Head Charge was originally on the bill, but they cancelled long before the recent death of guitarist Byran Ottoson. Otep was also scheduled and they too cancelled for reasons unknown. I've seen Shadows Fall before on the Headbangers Ball tour a while back and on last years Ozzfest trek. Though I am a fan of their live shows, they were thoroughly boring. Brian Fair's vocals were fair at best but the band sounded good. You could tell though that they weren't very excited to be there, which can be expected because this tour was so long. There was no real band presence, as everyone just stood around with Fair occasionally twirling his knee high dreads.
Next up was Lamb of God. All I have to say is, any headlining bands shouldn't ever take these guys on the road with them as they always literally steal the show. They did it this day as they did on last years second stage at Ozzfest and on the Headbangers Ball tour some time back from Killswitch Engage. They opened with Laid To Rest, which shows they were getting their recent radio hit out of the way. Randy Blythe's vocals reigned terror that night in the Resch Center. I've have never seen them sound better and if nobody knew who they were before this, the mainly maggot corp of Knot fans surely knew them after this set. The crowd just exploded into a slew of about 4 or 5 circle pits as LOG perfectly blended songs from all three albums. The crowd was so into these guys. It brought a smile to my face. I couldn't help myself but to hop in and bellow the words to Now You've Got Something To Die For and Ruin. They are truly a sight to see live, if you haven't already. Of the numerous shows I've seen, LOG are truly the most brutal, exciting, and crowd pleasing band around. They truly stole the show.
Then finally was Slipknot, who have put on decent shows in the past. They were minus their guitarist Paul who, they say was in the hospital. I guess I am being biased from the show LOG just put on, but the Knot surely came out flat. Though Corey Taylor was very animated on vocals, everyone else kind of just stood around. Like I said before, they did mention that this was a long and tiresome tour. They also said how excited they were to be in Green Bay but it didn't show. They opened with Disasterpiece from the Iowa release. Then proceeded to spit out radio gems Vermillion and Left Behind. The stage looked awesome and the lighting was superb. The best part of their set was Joey Jordison's 8 minute drum solo. It was also his 30th birthday that night. I'm sure it is a birthday he will forget. I'm not saying it was an awful set, but they wanted to be somewhere else.
Overall I can't complain too much. It was a good show mainly because LOG saved the day. But with a ticket price of $35, I must say it was a bit high for three bands. Seeing a show like Sounds of the Underground is only about $30 bucks for 23 bands. I'll definitely be going to the previously mentioned Sounds tour as Lamb of God are headlining. If you haven't seen 'em, check this tour. Not to mention tons of other great metal acts such as Throwdown, Chimaira, Unearth, The Agony Scene plus many others.

ok, i am formally metal-up-ur-ass, but i am f***in tired of the gay cracks from the ignorant, non early metallica fans, anyway to pigdestroyer, slipknot rules cuz of Corey's awesome vocals, Mick's and Jim's dueling guitars, and Joey's f***ing awesome drumming. Not to mention they have 3 guys running around the stage beating the living fukk out of each other. And this band really plays to its fans, unlike some a$$hole metal bands, which i wont mention here, due to the hateful retaliation i recieve, and i would also be hypocritical, because i h8 guys who diss my bands. Oh yeah, and all of their shows rule, unlike what the loser who posted this said, cuz i was at the show.

... the subliminal verses tour set SUCKED .. it was almost all the gay sh** from vol. 3 and only a couple from iowa and a few from s/t ... and if i wanted to see a bunch of guys beat each other up on a stage i would have bought ticket to wwf, not a metal concert ... i'm there to beat guys up in the pit, not watch the band do dumb sh** on stage ... half of slipknot doesn't even play an instrument ...

mmkay, deadmetal, you are obviously 13, because a more educated person with a fully developed brain would have definitly not cared about my name change, or the fact that i changed it to Wagon, they would have cared about my views on metal. Anyway, my new name Wagon is a nickname from my Highschool football team (part of my last name), and if you live in PA, chances are i've f***ed up kids from your school. so f*** off b****. and your name isnt too good either.

everyone missed the point of this posting. it was a honest depiction of the show. it was a weak show except for Lamb. Knot are the same sh** when it comes to live shows. U need more than fancy lights and stage sets and a bunch of guys in masks to be metal. So all u whiny f***in trendy metallers, stick to ur lame radio metal and I'll keep mine. and Wagon, whos the loser? I know i put a thorn in ur big toe by ripping Slipknot. GET OVER IT. They aren't that good. Hey i know they are ur favortie band but man its time to find ur next trendy victim. Shut up

I begin to wonder if it's really the same guys night after night for Slipknot, they wear masks, you can't tell who is who, maybe there is fill-ins and stuff. Maybe, who knows?
I thought it was a good depiction. It usually always seems that Lamb of God puts on a better show than anyone else.

i dunno bout the green bay show, but i was at the madison show and it kicked ass. shadows fall was good, but they dont have enough distinction between songs...lamb of god was f***ing crazy. as soon as they got on like 8 pits started and it was kick ass. ten slipknot came on and everyone there went nuts. everyone there loved slipknot so it was sweet. i dont get how people can say slipknot is gay. the entire show was good (except for 80s Kiss, who opened. they lifted the bassist into the air and he got f***in stuck. what a dumbass.)

thank you broken wings and yes it is just a opinion. thats what i do this for. An honest depiction of what I saw. Christina is just straight up dumb with her elementary jibberrish too. With her huge vocab of "kick a$$ and awesome". Hey, if you like the Knot,cool. That night they just didn't have their best stuff, IN MY OPINION!

Hey fukker, i'm right here. i didnt call u out before, but i am now. post where u live, and i'll come on down and whoop ur ass, goin to arizona to see some relatives, and thought i might swing by and say hi. so just post it and i'll call u out for real, ok? anyway to GGmetalcore, go fukk urself, i'm not a trendy metal head, are u f***in kidding me. i defended metallica when they released St. Anger, even gave a kid a fat lip and broken nose over it. a trendy metal head would've been like "yeah they always sucked, god." and all of u 'knot haters really dont realize that making music is a job. If they need to go a lil lighter, thats fine by me, i can live with it. We all gotta bring home the bacon.

and man do i hate these chicks trying to defend slipknot. they're all so ugly, fatass goth chicks. god, makes me shrink just thinkin bout 'em. We need hotter chicks at Knot shows,that is the only reason i would ever go to a light show, cuz chicks at them is HOT!

My little red wagon, man o man. Shows the smarts of true Slipknot fans. Between you and Jesse, I'm not sure who is lamer and if you would've told me you liked St. Anger, I would've done more than give you a fat lip man. Metallica isn't even a shell of what they were pre-black album. The days when Kirk Hammett still acted straight and Lars wasnt as retarded as he is.

ok you have got to be kidding me, $35 for 3 of the biggest metal bands today? are u a kike? seriously, the only reason "sounds of the underground" is so cheap is because those bands need the publicity, so they'll tour for practically free. These guys are huge so there is no way in hell that they'll get screwed over like those crap bands in "sounds of the underground". That sounds like a pretty good price to me actually.
