I went to see Slipknot earlier in the summer and more recently Lamb Of God. Great shows btw…My question is, don’t bands(metal) do covers live anymore?..when I was younger and went to shows it was always a bonus to hear covers. Just curious.

Also, if you ever get a chance to see Gwar(they backed up LOG) GO!..fucking hilarious. Warning, if your in the front yer gonna get wet lol.

I saw them live once and it was by far the best song of the show… I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing though(that their best song isn’t technically theirs could be bad, but that they play it amazingly well is clearly really good).
