Lineup
Got to see 2 of my favorite bands and actually meet the members! had a great vibe all night and I even survived the mosh pit! Great show 10 out of 5 =D
This was my 11th Chimaira Xmas show. I was not blown away at all unlike previous years. All the riffs seemed changed and the show was short. No climatic end at all. They played only 3 of their newest stuff which they play best being all new members except Mark.
This show was nothing short of awesome!! The line up was amazing! Unearth and Chimaira in a row, not to mention Skeletonwitch and a few other great bands opening the night up! The set lists were great, and it was just a great time!! There was, however, a little too much bass, as I felt like I was gonna let loose in my pants is was vibrating so hard. As always, Starland Ballroom is an awesome venue!
chimaira, hardcore metal good music and to the point
i really enjoy seeing bands i know in small clubs. the Alrossa is a decent sized place. smaller than the Newport, but not terribly small. the P A could have been a little better. if you're right infront of the stage, not gonna hear much vocals, but that seems more normal than it should be. what can i say about the band? they kick ass. i've seen them 5 times now and they never disappoint. they tear it up, have fun and keep the crowd in it. very kool of them to shake hands with the people in the front at the end of the show. definitely will see them again.
I know the slack turnout sucked for the bands, but it made the experience so much more intimate for the fans that was there, I mean meeting all the guys and hanging out was unbelievable, chimaira is my favorite band and can't wait to see them again
I've been a fan of Chimaira for a while, but this is the first time I've been able to see them in concert. What an incredible show. They were extremely high-energy, and they rocked amazingly hard. The mosh pit filled up the entire room, and even a couple of girls joined in the fun. The opening acts weren't anything to write home about, but Chimaira was 100% awesome beginning to end! Love you guys! Much respect. \m/ -_- \m/
This was the third time I've seen them and they were great. Never been let down by chimaira and this time wasn't any different.
This show was INCREDIBLE. If you are a Chimaira fan, you most likely have seen them once, twice, or more already. If you haven't, what are you waiting for? For anyone into heavy music, I recommend to get into Chimaira. As most metal bands, they are very musically skillful. However, they are extremely heavy and brutal, even for metal and at the same time their music has a nice 'groove' to it and many songs are very catchy as far as heavy music goes. They are a one-of-a-kind band. Given you love their music, it is elevated in their live performance. They play near-flawless every time. They are a tight band you can hear everything well, and have perfectly executed starts and stops within their songs played live. Their 'lead' guitarist Rob is a perfectionist which helps to guarantee a great sound every time (unless the venue has a really bad sound system or sound engineer). I have seen Chimaira 13 times now and they have sounded AMAZING EVERY SINGLE TIME. NO JOKE. GO SEE THEM AND HAVE A BLAST!
I have been to Alrosa quite a few times, have had the opportunity to see Chimaira there twice, and I must say that I am never disappointed. Alrosa is a small venue, and really gives you the opportunity to "get personal" with the bands during their shows. If there is not a barricade up, you will very likely get hit in the face with the bands hair (if you can secure a spot in front). Chimaira, as always, did a stellar job, playing a very wide range of songs from all of their albums. They had a lot of energy, and the supporting bands were for the most part very enjoyable. And I finally got to see them play Lazarus live, I have been waiting for that for years.
