Coheed and Cambria, are a band I’m a big
fan of, and also to me and few other people that
I've spoken too that it’s a bit weird that
these 2 bands are touring together, normally fans
of one these bands won’t be a fan of the
other, and it was true after they had played some
people actually left the venue, if I was a normal
punter, I probably would have done the same.
Coheed open there set with In keeping secrets
of Silent earth 3, a great way to open the set,
nice quick and heavy song, which was followed
by Ten speed (of gods blood and burial) and Here
we are juggernaut, for being only one of two bands
tonight, I was hoping they'd play a longer let
but the other songs they played were pretty damn
decent which included, This Shattered Symphony,
A favour house Atlantic, Delirium Trigger, No
world for tomorrow, World of Lines and one of
my all time favourite songs, Welcome Home\, I
was hoping they play the running free, but welcome
home, was good too. I wished they’d gotten
a longer set to play Mother Superior to, but what
they played was awesome enough could have done
with a lot more energy but they were moving about
an awful lot too. Great set from a top band
Deftones, This is a band that I've never really
understood before, all the songs I've heard, normally
from watching the music videos, they haven't been
my favourite, I found them abit droning but I
much prefer them live, no other band sounds like
the Deftones, in that respect they are unique.
They open up with Rocket Skates and Chino must
of had a pair on as he was all over the place,
this was followed by Around the Fur then My own
summer (shove it) which is a song I really really
like, good song overall really, but it never got
me into them in a big way. I’d forgotten
that they had a DJ up there as well. Other songs
that were in there set were, Lotion, Digital bath,
Knife Party, Elite, Diamond eyes, Beauty school,
Prince, Sex tape, Hexagram, Back to School(Mini
Maggot) a song that I really cannot stand as it
grinds my teeth and main set closer Change(in
the house of flies). The main set for me was full
of Hits and some misses, some I enjoyed and got
into others, I just could wait for them to end,
it was one of those, I'm sure the crowd will disagree.
Chinos voice can really shred your ear drums,
it's is unique too. He's still jumping around
the stage like a bloody mad man for most of the
set always good to see, as do the rest of the
band they don't really let up either, which is
awesome for the last night of the tour well last
night in the UK anyway. After the short break
they opened with Birthmark, a so so track to me
but engine number 9 wasn't too bad and 7 words
was a good way to finish the set, as a neutral
person to this band, it wasn't too bad a set,
much better than I thought it was going to be.
Coheed And Cambria - 5/5
Deftones - 5/5
