    The best setlist ive seen them play so far.

    Very, very good show.

    Bostaph can play it ( I was watching his feet), but to me it seems like he been told to keep it short.

    Holt is a boss though and Tom is freakin hilarious.

    Again great setlist.

    It sounds ****e though. Tom is awesome alright. Think someone proposed to him at one point or something cause he put up his finger kinda like he was showing a ring!

    Did anyone see what the fight was about on KK's side of the stage where the bouncers hauled yer man off through the dressing rooms? Was dying for a pee so just came back when it ended?

    I was over that side but didnt see anything except a very drunk polish man shout the word "classic" about 50 times then try start a fight.

    I agree about the DB;its a shame as I thought Bostaph had a smashing gig.

    Bostoph is an excellent drummer and a very competent Double bass drummer but it was the same last year - he can't play that solo for some reason - or he can and it just sounds ****?

    While he is excellent as I said, he ain't no Lombardo. I love how Lombardo played Seasons for example - Bostoph pales in comparison.

    I was on the back right and could not hear Holt's solos. Great to hear At Dawn They Sleep

    Great show, and a great set. Liked the new song too in a live setting, even if it didn't do much for me first time I heard it. Tom Araya is starting to look like Billy Connolly as well :)

    I seen lombardo play it with them and mess it up too, I guess if you put AOD at the end of the set youre gonna be wrecked by the time its played.

    I was standing upstairs at the barrier.

    The guy jumped the side barrier at KK's side and ran towards the stage, but about 3 bouncer/security lads held him. He put up one helluva fight and was wriggling outta their grasp for a bit before they hauled him off.

    KK threw a few plectrums to his friends/GF/wife/people.

    Was happy to hear less reggae trance stuff while waiting this time.
    Was a great gig though, had a fantastic time :)

    Next time we see Tom he'll be Santa :P

    Well I'm partially deaf today but it was a great gig. Had a great view from up on the balcony, couldn't take my eyes off Paul! I was the girl in the red Tool t shirt, so if you were one of the many that complimented me on it..thank you :D

    The back drop dedicated to Jeff during AOD was a nice touch. I thought it would have gotten more of a reaction from the crowd tbh.

    Was it just me or was the mosh pit "quieter" than last year?

    TBH I think it was the heat, the place was roasting last night. The pit seemed much better for the slower paced songs like South of Heaven.

    Though the Raining Blood/Black Magic medley was epic.

    I was watching it from the balcony above both this year and last year and this year was definitely much quieter. A lot of people running out of steam pretty quickly and others just not up for it as much. I can't really blame them, its usually crammed in the Academy and there isn't really much space to even form a pit.

    I was in the pit at the Limelight on Monday night and it was great fun. Ankles are a bit sore though... :pac:
