got a late call from a friend yesterday with an extra ticket and i was pretty excited to go. i'm very familiar with tom's views on metal but i gotta say, this is a cool band. always have been. the show was ridiculous - totally over-the-top w/ theatrics and what not (costumes changes, pillars of flame, giant mummies, guitarists wearing shirts of the band they play in, devils, explosions, cyborgs, bruce dickinson running around like a maniac, etc.) - but it was darn entertaining. i never get to see stuff like this much cause most shows i go to are in clubs/bars - but i would recommend checking them out if they're in your town. not as great as a mike watt show - but it was a heck of a lot of fun.
and the churchill spiel from "aces high" was the opener.
