Music: Crisis
Mood: Sore Neck

Well last night I got my butt kicked by Soulfly. What an incredible show. These guys played their guitars and drums so hard, I'm still in awe. They played a full two-hour set non-stop. I knew about half of the songs. Their Sepultura and Machine Head roots were well recognized and they played some major metal. This was probably the hardest show I've ever seen. Even heavier than Metallica and Rammstein. The crowd was great, the pit was huge, and the The Fillmore is a excellent venue. I jumped in the pit for one song, and it was pretty intense, then I stood to the side of it. There was this one song, where about 30 people were in the pit circling so fast, that it actually created a breeze and felt like a fan was blowing on us. I can't say I've seen or felt that before.

Opening the show was Crisis, which I had never heard of, but the lead singer has a very prominent stage presence with her five-foot blond dreads hanging and head-banging every which way. A couple of their songs were pretty intense.

Crisis was followed up by the group ill nino. They were much better than I had expected and really stirred up the crowd well. Their drummer was inspirational to me and made we want to practice my stick-twirl. He's damn good at it.
