Guanajuato tunnel graffiti of a skeleton

There seems to be more “Day of the Dead” type graffiti, souvenirs, etc. in Guanajuato than in other parts of Mexico. Perhaps it is because of the mummies. In any event, graffiti of this nature in a dark tunnel provides extra impact.

Six-photo photomerged panorama from El Pipila in Guanajuato, Mexico

The view from El Pipila is always excellent, but when the sun is about to go down and two days of heavy storms have just concluded things can go from excellent to outstanding.

Hot Demon Fear was better than my expectations. They played a few of their own songs, but mostly Hot Demon Fear covered tunes based on audience requests. I don’t remember them all now, but they included several Led Zeppelin songs, a couple from Megadeth, Black Sabbath’s “Into the Void”, Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper”, and others.

Great band, really solid in every aspect. The crowd went nuts and packed the place. I had to leave (just before 1 a.m.) before they finished as I needed to use the bathroom really badly, but the line was so long I figured it would be quicker if I just walked back to my hotel to use the facilities there.

You can listen to Hot Demon Fear’s original music here.
