Night of the Living Dreads Review

Night of the Living Dreads- November 23, 2013

The anticipation for this concert was intense. I saw Korn for the first time at Rock on the Range 2013 and they were amazing. Rob Zombie had always been bucket list show that I needed to see. On November 23rd I had the opportunity to cross that off the list in Huntington, West Virginia.

Scar the Martyr- Joey from Slipknot's other project was hard and heavy. Joey is among the best modern metal drummers in the business. I think Scar the Martyr has the opportunity to be a great side project for Joey. (4 out of 6 skulls)

Korn- Korn performed a hour and 15 minute set-list with such songs as Blind, Falling Away From Me, Coming Undone, Got the Life, and Freak on the Leash. Aside from tackling a drugged dude, the show was amazing! Korn sounds as good live as they do on record, and Jonathan Davis's emotion really shows in his performance. (5 out of 6 skulls)

Rob "MotherFucking" Zombie- Rob was the real treat of the night. His stage included classic horror favorites as the Wolf man, Frankenstein, and King Kong (among others). John 5 changed guitars frequently and included a lava-lampesque guitar among others. The show was amazing and included such hits as Dead City Radio, House of 1000 Corpses, Living Dead Girl, Dragula, and some White Zombie tunes. I personally enjoyed Sick Bubble-Gum but was disappointed that Teenage Nosferatu Pussy wasn't included. The John 5 guitar solo was memorable. (6 out of 6 skulls)

Overall 5 out of 6 skulls. It was a don't miss concert!!!
