Most Metal
So while Phill toddled around the Emerald Isle I kept the flame of heavy metal alive with two trips into town, one to see the black panto that is Slipknot at Hammersmith Odeon and then Coheed & Cambria (or Rush Junior as we call them in our house) at the doomed Astoria.
Slipknot have nine members so the stage (multi-tiered, spewing flames) is always busy. They play beer barrels too - true - and use more hydraulics than your average car factory. At one point the drum riser rose up in the air and spun around just like Tommy Lee's used to. I punched the air in celebration, I may even have whooped.
C&C are more considered and no-one wears a clown mask which is a shame because nothing says Christmas like an S&M clown. C&C's singer has hair the size of Mammon and sometimes he plays a double-necked guitar, they make concept albums and have their own comic book. I bet you're crushed you missed them. They'll be back in 2009, let's all go and see them together then, Slipknot too.
