What day is it? Monday? Tuesday? Tuesday. Do you have work, school tomorrow? Having a chill night, or haven’t you had enough alcohol?”. Not long after that, there was a bit of movement within the G2. There was something about Deez Nuts, other than just being very good live… they were very humble. I loved that you could see they were enjoying themselves and having a bit of banter between themselves on stage. Appreciate the thumbs up from JJ to those on the barrier (myself included), appreciated the recognition! Finishing up their set, JJ introduced their last track, “This song isn’t for all of you wonderful people here tonight or to the person that you care about… this song is to the people you fucking hate! Your mother should’ve swallowed you!” – fan-fucking-tastic! Some of the crowd’s reactions were priceless! Great set, great band! Finally, Suicide Silence took to the stage, unleashing ‘Doris’ on the crowd, and fuck me they went harddd! Quickly jumping into ‘No Pity For A Coward’, which instantly had the crowd going crazy. I hadn’t seen Suicide Silence before this evening. I was expecting the typical death metal stance on stage… y’know, the ‘stand-still-because-their-playing-is-far-too-technical-to-move-around-to’ sort of vibe? Yeah, well Suicide Silence don’t do that! They were fucking nuts, moshing on stage, and a lot of crowd interaction (including Mark and Eddie both making sure that I was having a good time on the barrier and getting me involved). I loved that they all recognised and treated you like you were an actual person giving you credit for being there for them. Very humble and thankful guys, I respect that! Hearing new material from their new self-titled album in a live setting was so great to witness. I had the pleasure of reviewing the record, and I could tell then that it would be unique in the flesh! Eddie has such a different vibe, which was so refreshing. I loved his style and what he brings to the Suicide Silence table. Brave, confident, and respectful. The only sour point of this show was unfortunately there were some idiots in the crowd that simply showed up to hate on the band by making stupid noises and sly comments between songs. It’s puzzling that people would pay good money to turn up and abuse a band that are trying something new and keeping our scene alive and kicking. It’s a good thing that Suicide Silence are as hard as nails… it didn’t even phase them! They carried on professionally, not even acknowledging the negativity, as the positivity was far too overpowering! Rock on! For example, the Glasgow crowd are famous for the chant “here we, here we, here we fucking go”. Tonight, Suicide Silence collaborated with the crowd by playing a tune alongside, which was fucking ace!!! After showing us a new side to the band, they quickly jumped back into the chaos. ‘Wake Up’ was next. The floor erupted, mosh pits, walls of death, crowd surfing… it’s how I’d imagine purgatory would look like! Finishing their set, Suicide Silence just fucking destroyed the place, smashing up their gear and chucking in into the crowd. Afterwards, they all took the time to come along to the barrier and high-five, get photos, and thank everyone who turned up! Very fucking humbling and smooth! Overall, on the whole night, I had an absolutely amazing time. The support were great, and Suicide Silence were phenomenal. They looked like they had the most amazing time, and they absolutely fucking smash it live. Anyone who didn’t turn up to this show, because of their negativity towards the latest record, severely missed out. Thank you Suicide Silence for keeping it real and showing me a good time! Until the next one, cheers! 10 out of bloody 10!
