Members Wizard of Ozz Posted April 30, 2011 Members Share Posted April 30, 2011 Went to see them in Ft. Lauderdale, FL last night and they killed. Tight, tight, tight is about on the only way to describe the band. They were on from the first note. Johan has to be w/o a doubt one of the best front men in metal today. Period. Voice, presence, and head banging machine. The guy is a one man wrecking ball. And really cares about the fans. Great concert. One of the best I've been to in years. They played for almost 3 hours, and opened with the entire new album, "Surtur Rising", followed by a collection of classics like Twilight of the Thunder God, Guardians of Asgard, Live for the Kill, Without Fear, Runes to my Memory, With Oden on Our Side, and they closed with Cry of the Black Birds. Here's a link to an album with pics I took at the show (almost 200 pics): http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa454/odinson1987 And here are some highlights: Johan Soderburg's rig: Olavi Mikkonen's rig: And the rest...

Members Ovid9 Posted April 30, 2011 Members Share Posted April 30, 2011 I hate that bands like this never come anywhere near me. Well, "near" being relative and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wizard of Ozz Posted April 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2011 im pretty sure one of them endorsed KRANK And yea, they suck That was a few years ago... when Krank was giving out amps like PEZ candy to every metal band around. I guess they finally heard what a Krank amp sounds like recorded and went back to the PV 6505+. The sound last night was great. Simple killer rig... is well... killer.
