I do, in fact, like Amon Amarth.

... Jesus Christ. I can't hear a thing, I'm hung over and dehydrated, I have six and a half hours of work to make it through...

But I was rocked RATHER WELL and it was damn near a life changing event. A hell of a way to go out, all things considered.

Personally, aside from Kreator sucking so bad I smoked their entire set and made fun of them outside with a rowdy cadre of metal compatriots, Amon Amarth was probably my least favorite.

Let's rank them in order of greatness shall we?

1) ALMIGHTY FUCKING VADER! (I was tempted to kick the Bash on Ash's owner and the tour organizer for passing Vader up for the headlining spot Kreator took, And I was fully intending on doing it after their measly seven song set that while short was the highlight of the night. During my favorite song Xeper (Pronounced Khe-fer) I was beaten to a pulp by everyone around me as I am always stupid enough to go stand between Mauser and Peter right at the front of the stage and when Xeper started the crowd went psychotic. I got elbowed in most of my body, kicked in more places than if I was at the running of the bulls and overall just made to hate my fellow man all that more. God that show ruled)

2) Just as almighty but not deserving caps fucking Nile. (Extra bonus points go for playing the entire Unas, Slayer of the Gods finally. That was definitly something worth seeing, and Dallas has really progressed as a musician. He acutually played a fair amount of Karl's solos during the set which made for a much better show. And he shaved his goatee off so he looks cooler now.)

3) Goatwhore (Guitarist from Acid Bath's new band. Nuff said Acid Bath are gods.)

4) Amon Amarth (Good sound, heavy triggered drumming always gets me pumped but the viking gimmick still doesn't seem authentic enough to me. He needs a battle axe shaped guitar and a stein of grog on stage)

5) Kreator (After thinking to myself, "damn that guitarist is hot!" I remembered a post to my metal list from my russian friend in Boston about the guy in Kreator that looks like a chick. Proceed to rush outside and vomit while smoking, and contemplating getting him drunk later. Aside from that gender-bending sexuality questioning moment, this band sucked. Retire already. Thrash is dead.)

Dunno, Kreator carried themselves well last night. I would go AA, Kreator, Goatwhore, Nile, Vader from best to worst last night, personally.

(It is my understanding that a larger and more detailed article will be written about the show tomorrow, so I'll save my various other comments on it till then so not to spoil the "magic" of the concert review.)
