Apocalyptica

Tonight marked the second concert I've paid for since I've been in Seattle. When we found out that Apocalyptica were coming, we just had to go!
We were all set to go and ready to get in when I was made to take off my wallet chain because it could be used as a weapon. Then again, so could my car keys, but I could keep those. So even though spending $15 to go and beat the shit out of someone with a walletchain, is an extremely retarded concept, it did seem nontheless plausible to teh "security" people at the club so we all had to deal with our wallets being more susceptible to theft. That wasn;t as horribly hypocritical and annoying as them denying me entrance to the club with my digital camera because it has recording capabilities. Recording capabilities which consist of 15 second badly lit mpgs with no sound. At the same time others took their more advanced cameras in and a good 30% of teh crowd posessed cellphones with video and sound recording capabilities far superior to that of most digital cameras, let alone my 2 megapixel piece of crap. I stood there and watched al least 3 seperate people recording the entire concert on their cellphones.
Ok, enough ranting, the "security" people at El Corazon will get theirs, in due time!
The show was awesome! I don't know who the opening band was, but they were a little too metal for Amanda, so we sat in the bar until it was time for Apocalyptica to take the stage. It's been 6 years since I've seen them (Dynamo Open Air '99 - in front of 80 000 people, opening up for Metallica) and they've gone through a couple of lineup changes and have added a drummer, but in essence it's still four guys with cellos paying their own brand of heavy metal. They played a lot of their new material, which isn't available in the US yet, interspersed with their Metallica covers which made them famous (Amanda, and I dare say a lot of the other people there, were very amused at the fact that the whole crowd sings along as if they were at a Metallica concert). The evening was mostly Apocalyptica original compositions though, which was very enjoyable, watchign four grown men with no shirts on play cellos while headbanging. They finished their show with a bow before coming back on for a quick encore consisting of "Enter Sandman" and "Hall of the Mountain King".
