Fri 8 Jul – Soundgarden, Coheed and Cambria

Soundgarden was one of those bands that I thought I would never be able to listen to live because well… they disbanded back in 1996. So when they announced they were getting back together and recording new songs I got very excited because this smelled like a new tour. What I wasn't expecting was the tour taking place before they recorded new stuff. It was a pleasant surprise because that meant they were going to play old songs during this whole tour! (just like the most recent Iron Maiden North American tour…

Wed 1 Jun – Ghost, Sabbath Assembly, Natur

A friend from college told me about the band Ghost (from Sweden), and as soon as I checked them out in youtube they got my attention. I first listened to their most famous song “Ritual” and I was hooked. I had to listen to the whole album, and I did quickly. The album Opus Eponymous is a rock masterpiece that I recommend to every rock music fan out there. The lyrics are satanic, so if you’re religious you might not like them, but if you can overlook the content of…

Fri 1 Apr – The Strokes, Elvis Costello, Devendra Banhart and The Grogs

While I am not the biggest The Strokes fan ever I have liked the band a lot since Is This It came out back when I was still in high school. Because of that it was a thrill to see them live because they are one of the bands I listened to when I was a teenager (and also because their music is great :P).

I got really lucky with my ticket to be sincere. When I went to Ticketmaster I didn’t like the seats I was…

Sat 26 Feb – Finntroll, Ensiferum, Rotten Sound, Barren Earth

So… Yesterday was the Finnish Metal Tour concert! It was an amazing experience since it was my first concert on General admission (that means no reserved seating). Here it is my little review or actually a blog of the experience.

I got there 2 hours (or a little bit more) before the doors opened and to my surprise there were only a bunch of people there. It seems that Americans don’t like to wait in line too much, or at least not in the cold. I was wearing my leather…

Mon 12 Jul – Iron Maiden, Dream Theater

This concert was my second Iron Maiden concert and my first time at the MSG. As a person who got to be part of the previous tour that featured classics only, the current set list was a dream that came true. And anyone who didn't like the set list should have done their homework about the current tour, since it was known that it would be focused on the “newer” albums.

That aside… the opening act, Dream Theater, was alright. I only knew “As I Am” (opening song) and…
