Down - 05.06.06

05.06.06
I was at Down tonight, and heres my review.
I cant post any setlist, cos im not that familiar with their stuff as I should have been, but ill give it a shot.
Btw, thanks to Musick, for applying me with a ticket.

The whole show, starts foff with a bigscreen movie, some misic videos, like Zeppelin, Sabbath, Queen, and Kiss. Inbetween the videos, they show the usual Pantera homevideos breaking shit, its pretty cool, drunkdriving a golfcart, Kirk showing off his weed, some dude dressing up like Ozzy, and Zakk Wylde trying to trow a 100lbs flowerpot out of the vindow.

The show starts, and the stage is covered in smoke, then Phil enters, and the crowd goes apeshit!
For their second song, he says “This next song is dedicated to DIMEBAG FUCKIN’ DARRELL” and we all chant Dimes name, the atmosphere is amazing.
“ Ghost along the Mississippi”, is being dedicated to Phils true Norwegian black metal friends, Fenriz, Satyr, and Frost.
A lot of other cool songs are being played, I could look em up, but im too damn drunk.
Phil Speaks: “this next song, is about the truth, and where I come from, the truth is the gas chamber”

Another bash of amazing songs, someone throws their chain/neckless/braclett onstage (probably have seen the video of Phil stealing someones jacket) and Phil wears it throughout the song, then throws it behind the stage for later.
Phil Speaks: “this next song goes out to all the Black metal people out there, they are running around the woods, wearing their corps paint, and people thing they are Satan worshipping, but they are really planting marihuanna seeds in those woods” the crowd cheers him on.
And right next to me, some people are lighting up a joint. Man I gotta have some of that, but before its my turn, some security chick, yes, a chick, probably not more that 20 years old, comes over, and ruins the fun (fucking cunt!!).
The band ends the show, and we cheer them onstage again, for a few more songs.
An acustic song that sound very much like Panteras version of Planet Caravan, with the bongo drums and all, comes on.
And they end the night with “Bury me in smoke”
Phil Speaks : “we’re Down, we love you, eat pussy till your jaw break and kill someone on the way out”

Personally I think that Phil shouldn’t have said that last bit, but the show was amazing!!!
