If I had to give an estimate, I'd have to say that I have been to well over a thousand shows over the years. Tonight was without a doubt one of the most wacked-out shows of them all, and by far the most fun I have ever had photographing a band. More pictures and review to come shortly!

Blackest Of The Black Tour

Unfortunately Danzig decided not allow any photographers, {too old? too fat? too balding?} and had the photographers removed from the photo pit 5 minutes before the start of his set. That's cool, because he is kinda washed up anyways. Skeletonwitch stole the show as far as I'm concerned. Stay tuned for more pictures and my interview with Winds Of Plague!

Last night I had the opportunity to interview Death Angel vocalist Mark Osegueda and then witness a pretty epic show by the band, which unfortunately was the last with bassist Dennis Pepa. Stay tuned for review and more pictures!

Ronnie James Dio is probably older than your Grandfather, but he is more metal than you or I will ever be. See more of my pictures of Heaven And Hell {Black Sabbath} here.

Celtic Frost @ The Fillmore 10.03.2006

So I finally got some pics up of the show. I am feeling a little to lazy to write up a review so I give you a blurb about each band. 1349 were awesome. In the days of mall-metal and emo douche bag bands, it was nice to see a genuine Black Metal band. Even though their sound kinda sucked, they sounded pretty fucking heavy, and had a great stage presence. Goatwhore blew goats.. I've scene them three times and all three shows have been a carbon copy of one another. They are to metal bands what Total Chaos is to Punk bands. Total generic. And I don't care how sinister your guitar looks or how many spikes you are wearing, your mid-west accent negates all of your evilness! Sunn O))) were really entertaining for about 10 minutes. I dug the droning, drawn out chords, and the hoods, smoke, and purple lights made for some great pics, but it got old really quickly. As for Celtic Frost, well they just kicked fucking ass! I really was not sure what to expect,especially since I saw them over 20 years ago in all their glory. But I was really impressed. And hearing "Circle Of The Tyrants" made it for me! So there you have it. I know, pretty lame, but you can read much more thorough reviews here and here. Here are a few of my best pics, and for the rest, go here. B.T.W., there were at least 3 Voxer's at this show!

One of the most influential metal bands of all time! I have a photo/press pass for the show so expect some killer pictures! In the meantime, just hit that little play button.
