Danzig sounded terrible. I have been a fan of his work for many years but I think it's time for him to wrap it up! The other bands were okay. Just glad I spent only 10 bucks for this show.Written on Nov 06 2008

the main reason for the three stars is because glen danzig was so out of place compared to the three previous bands and for danzig to headlineWritten on Nov 11 2008
a show with the likes of moonspell,dimmu borgir on the bill was a huge disapointment.danzig's voice was complete crap from the get-go and his stage show was a farce !! but again because of dimmu borgir and moonspell putting on such a great performance(skeleton witch was pretty cool ,too)the night was a memorable one to say the least.i truly believe there are alot of danzig fans in denial and wont admit his show was as bad as it was(i was there and it was embarrasing to me)and i have been to several shows with danzig on the bill as well as seeing the misfits in their heyday when glen danzig took his music seriously...ok,not that seriously but not as bad as this show..horns in the air \m/ \m/ !!

Description
From his tenure with the seminal hardcore band the Misfits to his later work with the heavy metal outfit which bears his name, Glenn Danzig remained one of the preeminent cult figures in rock, forging a dark, chillingly atmospheric brand of goth metal considerably more literate and compelling than the music of his contemporaries.
Blending black metal's most brutal tendencies, the melancholic beauty of opera, and industrial metal's production techniques, Dimmu Borgir carved a niche in the metal world as one of the most savage and creative acts to hail from the Norwegian scene. The group first started in 1993, when members Shagrath (vocals), Erkekjetter Silenoz (guitar), and Tjodalv (guitar and drums) came together to join the emerging metal scene.
Hailing from the nation of Portugal, the doomy goth metal quintet Moonspell consists of vocalist Fernando Ribeiro, guitarist Ricardo Amorim, keyboardist/programmer Pedro Paixão, bassist Sérgio Crestana, and drummer Mike Gaspar.
Originally known as Black December, Winds of Plague formed in 2002 in Upland, California. The band went through a good deal of roster changes, eventually settling on Jonathan Cooke (vocals), Nick Eash (guitar), Nick Piunno (guitar), Kristen Randall (keyboards), Andrew Glover (bass), and Jeff Tenney (drums).
Although they only came together as a band in 2003, the members of Athens, Ohio's Skeletonwitch draw the bulk of their inspiration from artists and musical styles born all of two decades earlier -- namely the undying flame of classic, Bay Area thrash, its creative bedrock in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and, to a lesser degree, death, black, and Viking metal.
