What a fucking sick concert, they came on pretty late but then proceeded to play for the next two and a half hours nonstop in one epic jam that threw together all their loudest, most guitar-shredding songs. Every single one of them was on point with their playing but still laughing and dicking around, the lights were fantastic, and I managed a fourth row spot so that was incredibly sick. Both the people I came with got guitar picks from Omar at the end, I'm a little disappointed I missed out on that (He shredded so hard haha) but overall... definitely the best concert I've been to. Anyone else make it?

Nice dude, that's an awesome thing to own. They were throwing out drum sticks at the end of this concert, too... I really wanted one but the second each one hit the air a small mob would form beneath the expected landing zone, resulting in a huge mash-up of bodies and limbs and screaming people trying to get it... I was already drenched in sweat and tired as hell from trying to stay on two feet throughout the mosh pit so I decided against it haha. I'da killed for one of those picks though, Omar was legendary.

Nice dude, they put on an outrageous show. I wish I'd known how great the lights would be or I'd have gone tripping, it was a show made for that haha.
