Killswitch Engage in Waterloo

I'm always looking for upcoming concerts in my area. Whether it be here in Cedar Rapids or Waterloo, if a band comes to town that I somewhat enjoy, I'm trying to get a ticket. The best concert I've been to so far was at the McElroy Auditorium in Waterloo. It featured five bands including; One, Social burn, Wicked Wisdom, Non point, and Sevendust. It was an awesome show. I got to meet every band and get autographs, except for Sevendust. I guess they think it necessary to charge 60 bucks to meet them, whatever. Anyway, on March 21, 2009 Killswitch Engage is coming to the McElroy and I'm dying to go. The headliner is actually Disturbed. They're okay but I like Killswitch more.

Usually I'm not a huge fan of bands that like to scream rather than sing, as you may have guessed in my Trivium post. But these guys are an exception. There's a nice even amount of both sing and scream. Enough anger but also harmony, and all that stuff. Their vocals are killer and their instruments will blow you away! i'm not sure who else will be there, but I'm sure it will be an amazing show either way.

The headliner is the more popular band, Disturbed. I'm sure a lot more people recognize this name. Now I'm not a huge fan, or hardly a fan at all but I think they'll put on a good show. i just hope they don't play they're new song Indestructible. I know it's no use hoping they won't but God I hate that song. I can't understand a word he's saying. All he does in that song is call himself indestructible, and mumble. I can't quite grasp it. Oh well, they have other songs that are listenable. Down with the Sickness, Prayer, Remember, and I guess Stricken are all pretty good in my eyes.

The ticket price is something that I can't really complain about. There will be something like four bands there, two of which are big time names, and the tickets are around 35 dollars. I'd say that's a pretty fair price for a four band concert. Anyway I'm sure it'll be awesome. If you're looking to get the anger out I'd suggest some Killswitch Engage!
