Members soc_monki Posted May 27, 2006 Members Share Posted May 27, 2006 saw them last night in Memphis, TN! it was just totally badass...good music doesnt come around my area often, and me and some buddies had to go see these guys! Evergrey was first. we came in when they started playing their first song...and dont ask me what they played cuz im not that familiar with it...i just know that they are badass and i love their stuff! i need to start buying more CDs again, but other things take up my money (bills and other necessities!) anyways, they were playing Caparisons, of course...Tom was kickin' ass...couldnt tell what amps they were using because they werent visible but they sounded amazing! next up was Nevermore! i only know a few songs, but i know i really do love them. although, im not too sure about Jeff's Krankenstein...when the tech was checking it all out it was VERY harsh and high-endy. Chris Broderick (edit...sorry! im a dumbass and VERY tired!) was using an Engl, not sure which model. but when they started playing Jeff's sound was fine...mixed well with the band. still didnt like the tone on its own...thats the first time ive really heard a Krank live, and i have to say its not my thing! but they were badass. after the first song i yelled out "Jeff Loomis is {censored}ing badass!" and he let me know he heard me my buddy turned around and said "youre probably the only guy who knows his name!" badass band...and great guys! we hung out with the drummer after the show for about a half hour and he was totally cool and he had a blast just talking music and BSing. class acts and {censored}ing AMAZING musicians! Throwdown...nope sorry, dont like em...guitarist was using a XXX and his tone sucked and they just didnt fit on the bill IMO.... and In Flames...my god...i love them and seeing them live and LOUD up close was just {censored}ing great. they played Behind Space, one of my all time favorite songs and i almost died Trigger, Cloud Connected, Take This Life, Pinball Map, a few off of Clayman and Whoracle (but no Episode 666 )...all in all they {censored}ing RULED. great presence on stage, tight as hell, and punishing 5150 tone! (and yes BOTH Bjorn AND Jesper were using 5150's...no II's...5150's all the way and they sounded amazing!) me and my buddies got pics during the show and after the show with Tom and the guys from Evergrey, couple of the guys from Nevermore (no Jeff though i wanted to meet him!) and we were kinda bummed cuz we didnt get to talk to In Flames, but as we were going around the back of the venue Anders came out and we talked a little bit and took pics with him...damn cool dude and very appreciative that we came out to see them! all in all, a GREAT night! had a blast, even though i got home at 3 am and didnt get to bed till about 4 or so (cuz i had to get my practice time in!) and had to get up this morning for work at 9! LOL it was worth it though 20 bucks to see 3 amazing bands...could it have been better? yea...Bodom could have been there instead of Throwdown but hey, im not complaining too much pics to come this week hopefully!

Members Megadeth7684 Posted May 27, 2006 Members Share Posted May 27, 2006 Evergrey was probably also playing 5150's, that's usually what they play live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ever check out Evergrey's DVD man? It's awesome! Killer performance, lots of behind the scene stuff, including them going over all their gear! Plus incredible live 5150 tone!

Killer performance, lots of behind the scene stuff, including them going over all their gear! Plus incredible live 5150 tone! yup, one of my friends has it...and the live CD...so ive heard AND seen it all thats where i first heard Evergrey and i fell in love with it. Tom is one BADASS singer, the music is heavy, and the leads are very tasteful i think. they fit the songs but they show off a bit as well both of them are amazing guitarists and they put on one HELL of a show! it was great to see the DVD, but now that ive seen them live and up close (and met and talked with them!) it just takes on a whole new meaning!

Members Axedawg Posted May 27, 2006 Members Share Posted May 27, 2006 I seen the shows the last two nights in Tulsa and Memphis. You will not see better bands together on one bill than Evergrey, Nevermore, and In Flames. Chris is just phenomenal with Nevermore. I would bet he can play almost every Loomis solo if he had to. Evergrey are just stellar live as are In Flames...what a great dose of metal being performed at such a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGE is way overrated IMO, it only has a few good songs I think. Enemies of Reality is their weakest album IMO, Politics of Estasy is good, but I like the 3 I listed more.
