On Thursday the 27th of April my boyfriend Daniel and I had a massive night of heavy metal at the Sydney Superdome! This was my first taste of REALLY heavy metal music live in concert and I loved it!
The line up for the evening featured four Heavy Metal bands from the USA (with all three support bands never having played in Australia before); 10 Years, Hatebreed, Disturbed, followed by the main performers, Korn. As you would expect the night included plenty of shouting, jumping, moshing, and crowd surfing,(especially in the mosh pit that went off on the general admission floor! It looked quite violent in the heavier songs). By the end of the night my neck was sore and Daniel had lost his voice from all the singing/shouting along to his favourite tracks from Disturbed and Korn.
The only real let down for the evening (besides the fact I couldn't bring my digital camera in with me) was that the sound for Korn wasn't right; the lead singer couldn't be heard over the drowning of sound from the other instruments. However, it did get better towards the end of their set.
When Korn performed I was in aue and amazement by the unusual sounds made by the lead singer that he is known for. It's like the heavy metal version of Hip-hops beat-boxing to give you an idea.
We got to see some interesting looking people that night too and ones that didn't quite fit in with the niche, particularly a young girl infront of me that dressed like one of the girls from The Veronicas (as overheard from a group of middle-aged men behind us, who laughed). You definately don't wanna go to a heavy metal concert wearing the wrong stuff.
All in all I had a f*#king kick ass time and I'd do it all over again!
