I love small-venue shows because of the mosh pit where all the danger and fun is at. That's where all the madness is at. People who punch-dance, the 'Circle of Death', pushing and shoving, crowd-surfing, non-stop jumping and endless headbanging. That's what the mosh pit is all about.
Her Name in Blood who opened the show for Crossfaith did a Lady Gaga cover:
They butchered the song but hell they butchered it LIKE A BOSS! I didn't take anymore videos or pictures since my phone's picture quality sucks and with the madness in the mosh pit, it wasn't safe anyways. Some poor guy had his spectacles crushed and even got a nice elbow in the face. Notice how near the singer is, the band was literally in my face. You definitely won't get that in a big venue concert.
The show was fantastic. It was a headbanger's ball and I can feel that I would be getting a real stiff neck after tonight. My legs are aching from all the jumping and my voice is a little hoarse. The only complaint I have is that the show was too short.
The best thing is I manage to get a picture with Hiro(Left), Crossfaith's bassist after the show! The guy on the right is Daiki, guitarist for Her Name in Blood. Hiro was suprised by my coldrain shirt. I told him I watched them opening for coldrain in Osaka. He was also surprised that I was Singaporean. Probably didn't expect a foreigner would travel to Japan and watch them play. I told them they should come back to play again and guess what, he said they would probably return next year. Wahahaha! Fingers crossed, they will be back with an all new setlist. Till then, I'll keep chanting: WE WERE BORN FOR THIS TIME, SO WE RISE AND DANCE TOGETHER!!!
