I wish the Slayer/Killswitch Engage/Mastodon concert wasn't ages 18+ :(

I was listening to Killswitch Engage last night :D.

Mung:
Not so bad.  Only three people, and the backup vocal guy was better than the lead, but oh well.  The crowd was sparse, not very exciting.  The drummer was wearing a superman shirt, which was pretty snazzy.  It looked something like this:

I never thought I'd see a metal guy wearing that, but eh?

Unearth:
They were really good, people got pretty wild.  I didn't know they were going to be there, and I haven't listened to their music much, so I didn't enjoy it as much as possible.

Killswitch Engage:
Amazing.  The singer/lead guitar was just awesome.  He made funny faces, made jokes, and seemed nothing like the typical metal guy.  He screwed up and said they're "Darkness Falls", then realized they weren't yet and said "psych!"  After that, he called every song darkness falls.  Just something about the guy was hilarious.  The crowd got pretty wild then, people swinging from the rafters (high enough for their feet to touch the ceiling), and stuff.  Plus, Killswitch Engage has amazing music.

Highpoints:
- Some guy dove off of the stage and missed the crowd *THUMP*
- KSE handed the mic to some kid who sang part of a Megadeth song, and the singer was doubled over laughing
- Since my city has a no smoking law, nobody was allowed to smoke.  Amazing how much of a difference it makes compared to a couple years ago.

All in all, an amazing night! :D
