I’m looking forward to new Amon Amarth and new Mastodon releases this year. Today’s photo is from a couple summers ago.
Peter Iwers, In Flames’s normal bassist, flew back to Sweden a few days before to be with his wife as she delivered their third child. Aaron “Bubble” Patrick (of Devil Driver) played bass for In Flames for several shows, and this show in Medford was his last with the band.
Back in the 90s I saw Pantera open for Kiss after being given a free ticket. I also saw a few minutes of Mudvayne at the 2001 Ozzfest. Although Hellyeah isn’t my kind of metal (and the same can be said for Pantera, Kiss, and Mudvayne), they exceeded my low expectations live at the Medford Armory this past Friday night. Hellyeah, by the way, is made up of past and current members of Pantera and Mudvayne.
It took more than four years since my last attempt to see In Flames to actually see them this time. Instead of standing behind thousands in their hometown of Gothenburg, I was able to stand in front of a couple thousand people to see them on the other side of the globe in Medford, Oregon. They were well worth the wait.
