| _________________________________________ [May 9,2012 7:26pm - largefreakatzero ""] The one song I heard from the new Accept album was actually pretty good. |
| _______________________________ [May 9,2012 7:26pm - Mark_R ""] Ringworm is also on too, right? |
| _______________________________ [May 9,2012 7:30pm - KEVORD ""] I think Ringworm is only on the Cleveland date cause they're from Cleveland. But I could be wrong. |
| _______________________________ [May 9,2012 8:22pm - Mark_R ""] That sounds right. I saw a flier for the Columbus date with them on it. |
| _______________________________ [May 9,2012 8:29pm - KEVORD ""] Columbus Ohio rather not Cleveland. |
| _____________________________ [May 9,2012 8:33pm - Lamp ""] Is Kreator even worth seeing anymore? They've been around for like, 30 years. Not trying to be a dick, serious question. |
| _______________________________ [May 9,2012 8:36pm - KEVORD ""] I haven't seen them since around 2001 but they were really good then. |
| _______________________________ [May 9,2012 8:58pm - Mark_R ""] I thought they were fine in 2009. |
| _____________________________ [May 9,2012 9:13pm - Lamp ""] I wouldn't go to this since it's at the Palladium anyway, but seeing as I slept on thrash/death metal for a long ass time before finally getting into it, I would have more curiosity about seeing one of my favorites since I woke up. |
| ____________________________________ [May 9,2012 9:29pm - late_rising ""] Kreator are still awesome live but they have played worcester at least 4 straight years now, so there is an old news element. I didn't go to Accept at Showcase Live last year, but everyone I talked to that did said good things about it. |
| _________________________________ [May 9,2012 9:39pm - chrisREX ""] The last two Accept albums were killer. I am going to this. |
| ___________________________________________________________ [May 9,2012 10:13pm - Big bag of assorted nigger parts ""] Kreator sucked last time I saw them (w Voivod), limp and not nearly fast enough. New tune does sound promising. |
| ____________________________________ [May 9,2012 10:51pm - Alx_Casket ""] Nice tour, marking my calendar. |
| _________________________________________ [May 9,2012 11:08pm - Headbanging_Man ""] Fuck yes... ACCEPT was outstanding in Foxboro. KREATOR in Haverhill (2002?) was good but spent way too much time on then-new shit, and they have, what, 3 more albums since then? Maybe Mille will follow MAIDEN's lead and put together a History of Kreator setlist ending in 1988. And monkey's might fly out Ventor's butt... |
| ________________________________ [May 9,2012 11:37pm - KEVORD ""] oh yeah. Club 125 in Haverhill with Destruction. That was 02. That's the last time I saw Kreator I think. |
| ___________________________________ [May 9,2012 11:48pm - nekronaut ""] Yeah, Accept was amazing at Showcase Live and I love Kreator.. there! |
| ________________________________ [May 10,2012 12:16am - Seth ""] This is sick!!!!!! |

Not trying to be a dick, serious question. kreator always puts on an amazing live show. They even make shitty songs off of HOC sound good live. Can't recall how many times i've seen them, over 5. |

Not kidding. One fast song, this is NOT what I want from them. And their guitar sound totally sucked, rendered all riffs lifeless. I live for their old shit, and they were fucking horrible, couldn't wait for them to be over. |
| _______________________________________ [May 10,2012 12:07pm - Thundersteel ""] This is gonna be fucking SICK!!! Accept rules live. I saw them in 2010 at Showcase Live in Foxboro. The box office had closed when I got there so I ended up getting into the show for free! Mark Tornillo nails the Udo era classics perfectly. If they had found him back in the 80s instead of David Reece, Eat the Heat would have been a way better album. Fuck, Mark Tornillo even said in an interview that when he was in his old band TT Quick back in the 80s, they used to cover Accept songs and tell everyone that they wrote them, haha! That was back in the days before there was internet where you could easily go on Metal Archives or whatever and find shit like this out in 10 seconds. And Kreator, yeah they rule. This show will be everything a metal show should be and more! |

| ______________________________ [Sep 6,2012 11:14am - ark ""] looking forward to not being able to afford to go to this. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 11:00am - chrisREX ""] I'm more excited to see Accept. Their recent records are great with their new vocalist. |
| _____________________________ [Sep 8,2012 1:15pm - BSV ""] ALL FIRED UP. I fucking love ACCEPT and the new stuff does sound pretty mint. Pregame rituals? Might get sauced at the Abbey. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 4:41pm - the_reverend ""] looks like I will be there. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 8,2012 4:53pm - KEVORD ""] Wanted to see Accept but I'm really tired. I'm getting old. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 7:37pm - nekronaut ""] Wanted to see Accept but I'd rather get shithammered and go into work at 8am still drunk. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 7:58pm - Nostromo ""] Set times? |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 7:59pm - boblovesmusic ""] I would go but lack of funds and family in town prevent me from going. Have a good time for me fellas! |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 8:22pm - the_reverend ""] Swallow the sun just finished. I didn't look at any other set times. It is so freakin humid in here it is ugh.. idk... I'm dripping sweat down my legs. Also, the most awkward award goes to swallow the sun. Their second to last song had a girl singing, but there was no girl on stage so the singer just turned around. |
| _____________________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 8:25pm - grumpydeeppurplefan ""] That was swallow the sun? And what's up with the mentioned girl voice? |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 8:40pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, this is a weird show... the place has an acceptable amount of people. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 9:07pm - the_reverend ""] Accept is killing right now. |
| _____________________________________________ [Sep 8,2012 9:51pm - grumpydeeppurplefan ""] The kids seem to love. Wonder whether my wife is in that swirl... |
| _______________________________ [Sep 9,2012 1:16am - Spence ""] Kreator and Accept both killed it. I'm also very happy that Kreator dropped Coma of Souls tonight in exchange for Betrayer. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 9,2012 1:24am - Spence ""] Also, major lolz at various drunk friends/acquaintances asking me if that's "legit you" on RTTP posting as Spence. haha |
| _____________________________________________ [Sep 9,2012 1:47am - ArrowHead Logged In ""] Fuuuck. I wanted to see this so badly. But I love my money too much to buy the tickets, and love Wolf's tone and playing too much to see them at the shitty fucking palladium. Really would rather eat buffalo wings and burgers and see them at Showcase Live again. I was right smack in front of Wolf for the entire show. Instead I'm stuck cleaning out my second bedroom, and playing skyrim with some cat of the negroid variety. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 9,2012 2:31am - the_reverend ""] they played the start of coma of souls... |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 9,2012 2:31am - the_reverend ""] uploading. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 9,2012 2:37am - Alx_Casket ""] Sandals in the pit = Great ideas are not always the right idea. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 9,2012 5:39pm - the_reverend ""] Great thoughts come from the heart. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 9,2012 6:09pm - Headbanging_Man ""] Would anyone have guessed circa 1987/8 that ACCEPT 25 years later would wipe the floor with KREATOR??? Kind of embarrassing. At least "Endless Pain" and "Pleasure To Kill" didn't get medley-ed, one saving grace of the set. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 9,2012 6:55pm - late_rising ""] even though the Palladium downstairs is infamous for bad sound, they hit a new low with that Kreator set last night. I seriously could not hear guitars, and the whole mix was a muddy pool of shit. it pretty much ruined Kreator for me, who sounded fantastic when they played upstairs 2 years ago. Accept had better sound quality for whatever reason ... still not great but at least the guitar was sharp and loud. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 10,2012 6:25pm - Spence ""] I thought the sound quality for Swallow the Sun, Accept and the first four or five Kreator songs were great while I was up front. Then when I got pushed back in the crowd later, the sound quality was awful. I didn't even realize they were playing Endless Pain until about halfway through it. Regardless, Kreator still crushed IMO. And Rev, really? Must've been when I went to the bathroom, if they only played a bit of it. |

Its all about where you stand in that room. found myself in the front right and could hear everything. But when i went to grab a beer, i couldn't hear shit. Also that sweet spot is different for different amp placements. with that said, i hate this place. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 11,2012 5:32pm - eddie ""] also kudos to kreator for being the only band that can take shitty new songs that i abhor on album be fucking amazing and fun live. |
