^ He wore that in Manchester :lol:

Missed half of Evile's set :( They sounded bloody good though and great to see them on a big stage with the crowd loving them.

JFAC were pretty boring, the drummer was awesome though. Agree with others who have said they were the totally wrong band for this tour.

Megadeth were great, the new guitarist is amazing and he really looked like he was enjoying himself which was great to see. Pleased they played A Tout Le Monde and Mechanix, amongst other more predictable highlights. Skin of my Teeth was good too!

evile - good.
jfac - shit.
megadeth - appalling sound issues (dave's guitar was so loud i could barely hear the drums!) but good performance. new guitarist got more or less all the notes right but played a little soullessly for my liking; not that he isn't a very good player, just nowhere near the feel of marty friedman!

It was a good show but I had a massive headache during Megadeth's set so it was kinda hard to fully enjoy them, but it seemed like they played a fairly decent set despite a few to many new songs.

Evile were brilliant, I didn't think I'd enjoy them as much in such a large venue but they were awesome.

i went to the manchester show and evile were the highlight for me, it was great to see them get such a good reception and they had the best sound of the night. They did well on the big stage.

job for a cowboy were actually the most boring band i have ever seen live, i've seen worse bands but they were entertaining in some form but job for a cowboy were just lifeless so it wasn't much of a shock after each song when it was almost dead silence.

I did enjoy megadeth but the sound seemed pretty shit to my ears, highlights for me were take no prisoners and holy wars, some of their new songs came off well live, some of them didn't which made for a few boring patches in the setlist.

also it should be mentioned that it was probably the hottest, sweatiest gig i have ever been to, a venue has never needed air conditioning as badly as the academy did on saturday night.

Wait... Thay played Mechanix??? I actually don't remember that, I swear I wasn't even that drunk. Fuck, that's gay as hell. Evile were awesome too. I fucked off during JFAG and ate a £3(!!!) cheesburger whilst sitting on a step by myself.
