36 CRAZYFISTS & DEVILDRIVER // THE FORUM SYD // 25 FEB 09
My ears are still ringing, having just seen one of the most epic line-up in recent times, All That Remains, 36 Crazyfists, Lacuna Coil & the mighty Devildriver!
I don’t want to bore you with all the tracks and setlist information, lets just say all the bands went off. Personally I wasn’t a huge fan of Lacuna Coil (European metal has more than a hint of campness and pantomime about it I find) but respect to the lead singer, who crowd surfed in nothing more than a bra and skirt during Devildrivers’ blistering set! I’m sure the 18 year olds though Christmas had some early haha. Oh by the way, this is her….
Exactly!
What I really liked about the show was the real sense of community and camaraderie between all the bands, 36 Crazyfists came and did shots with everyone in the crowd after their set, there was no egos, everyone was there to just have a killer time. At one point during 36CF’s set, the crowd parted right down the middle, like a rugby match prior to kick off. And when the drums hit – BOOM everyone ran into each other, wall of death style. Bad to be in it, awesome to watch haha.
I ended up going by myself, but it was great, I forgot a little bit what live music is about (sitting in an office with a stack of CD’s next to you will do that), but this show reminded me why I love gigs, it’s real people connecting with each other, loosing their minds and being totally passionate about their favorite artists.
To see two of my favorite bands (36 Crazyfists & Devildriver) on the same bill on the same night was amazing and it sure as hell didn’t disappoint.
