Seattle 2/6/09: Meshuggah/Cynic/TheFaceless

[Shannon]

So, any Northwesterners going to this show? If so, see you there!

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

No, but I'm too young to go to the one in Vancouver and now you've reminded me that I'm going to be missing three kickass bands.

 

[mikernaut]

Cool, what an epic show that will be. Gonna pick us up some Tshirts?

 

[F1Filter]

Saw them yesterday here in SF. You're in for a real treat.

I'm still kicking myself for not skipping class and seeing that

 

[cadenhead]

Ryan and I are planning on going to the show on Saturday here in Portland.

Can't wait...

 

[Harry]

A guy I know went to the gig, blew his face apart, he loves it

 

[Unknown Doodl3.2]

I'm seeing Mesh and Cynic on the 18th here in Mtl!

 

[darren]

I just bought a ticket for the Toronto show.

 

[Rick]

I'm still pissed about no Texas dates. Not a single one.

 

[Nats]

i might see them in NY if that show didn't already happen

 

[Rick]

I believe this tour started on the West Coast so you should be okay.

Crap...

I saw Meshuggah at Key Arena when they opened for Tool, but I didn't really appreciate them as much as the time. Where are they playing tonight? El Corazon?

I'd go, but I'm really, really tired today...

Yep, I was at the Tool show too.

Tonight, El Corazon.

Be there on time. DO NOT MISS THE FACELESS. Im glad we were on time.

 

[Anthony]

Do not dare miss The Faceless.

I can't wait till they hit NYC. I'll endure through Cynic to see 2 of my favorite bands.

Was a truly awesome show. Meshuggah continued to prove that they are titans, not mortals. I blistered my thumb air guitaring on wood ledge in the balcony. Nice to see they can get all the way through 'Bleed' now. They should really just say "Class dismissed!" at the end of their sets. Cynic (despite a bad mix) were excellent as well. Steins for the win!

The Faceless should not be overlooked at all, either. Despite the core-ish vocal delivery, they are an intricate, and talented band. I talked with guitarist Michael Keene a bit before the show about his custom Washburn guitars, carbon fiber necks, pickups and whatnot until I realized that I was holding up his line of worshipers waiting for pics and whatnot... So I let him to his fans. Super, super nice guy... and a veritable illegitimate Shuldiner child on stage.

Saw them last night. just got out of the hostpital for knee surgery 2 weeks ago and i was tearin the pit up . awesome show All bands kicked ass, except cynic. i'd never heard of them and when they came on i knew why.

Meshuggah is insane

 

[F1Filter]

Cynic (despite a bad mix) were excellent as well.

Their mix @ the SF show wasn't all that great either. Actually none of the bands sounded all that great. Although the acoustics @ Slims can be a bit hit or miss sometimes.

Steins for the win!

I noticed that old steinys were only being used. Not their newer Z-series model. Still it was very cool to see a band using them.

Not too sure what to make about some of the hating on Cynic here. Or not even knowing about them beforehand. But I guess that's kind of to be expected when it takes about 15 years for your 2nd album to be released.

Shit, I hope this comes to Houston.
