My first Danzig show and my first time at the Troc in Philly:
I was very surprised at the size of the venue. Very small old theater, but to see Danzig up this close would be a treat!
The opening acts were Seventh Void and Gorgeous Frankenstein. Seventh Void were good, but I was actually surprised that I enjoyed Gorgeous Frankenstein as much as I did. The singer is a Glenn Danzig lookalike, but since Doyle from the Misfits is their guitarist, I guess it's okay.
Their songs, which I didn't know any of them, were really good. Doyle had guitar problems the entire set. Other than that, they were a great warm up act.
NOW for Danzig. It seemed like forever waiting for them to start.
They didn't go on until ten, and they only played for an hour and fifteen minutes, but it didn't matter. What an incredible show!
Glenn's voice sounded really good. The crowd was absolutely insane, despite the unbearable heat! It seemed like most of the crowd in the mosh pit got winded half way through the set because of the heat, but they picked it back up near the end.
Tommy Victor had guitar problems too before the beginning of "Bringer of Death". He also was handed an out-of-tune guitar before one of their songs, prompting Glenn to show his sense of humor commenting, "Nice job Mel" to Tommy's guitar tech.
Glenn also threw about seven bottles of water into the crowd.
One BIG problem for me, the security insisted on NO PICTURES, with you cell phones or anything. NONE! Everyone was warned on the way in, if you took any pictures, you were immediately removed. This was the first time I ever experienced that, and it was a real bummer.
Other than that it was a great show and a FANTASTIC setlist:
1. Skin Carver
2. Twist Of Cain
3. Hammer Of The Gods NEW
4. Her Black Wings
5. Tired Of Being Alive
6. How The Gods Kill
7. Do You Wear The Mark
8. On A Wicked Night NEW
9. It's Coming Down
10. Thirteen
11. Unspeakable
12. Bringer Of Death
13. Black Angel, White Angel
14. Mother

metalpimplehead - 7/25/2010 6:21:34 PM BrineB3, I'm smart enough not to buy into this loser, unlike yourself. And its not important when my new album comes out. I dont work in the music industry by choice even though I got the skills. Lastly, if your in the entertainment industry, you are willing to be judged and this guy fails judgment. Mother - what a great song. This is this clowns claim to mainstream success? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Get some taste in music fool.
AngMo2 - 7/11/2010 7:54:22 AM no pictures in this day and age with ticket prices, economy conditions is bullshit and I simply won't go to a show that told me that. Period. End of story. I am tired of being dictated to when I want to be enertained. A picture is like my own little souvernir and it doesn't harm anyone
tooltomus - 7/10/2010 8:15:15 AM Imotorhead- His voice WAS really good. I was shocked that he sounded as good as he did. Maybe by not touring much for the past few years has helped him to heal his voice.
tooltomus - 7/10/2010 8:13:16 AM DICK_OF_DETH- I was at this show. I did not cut and paste it from some other news source. The Trocodero in Philly has been there forever. Sorry if you never heard of it.
tooltomus - 7/10/2010 8:11:22 AM Mummyman- the new cd wasn't even released yet at the time I saw this show. It was enough to hear two new ones, not five new ones.
Mummyman - 7/7/2010 6:30:33 AM take off Skin Carver,Thirteen,Black Angel/White Angel and replace with The Revengeful,Rebel Spirits and Deth Red Moon off the new one
Mummyman - 7/6/2010 8:58:36 PM thank god Glen got his shit together and put together a solid record worthy of a 6 year wait. This record feels like it belongs between III & IV

DICK_of_DETH - 7/4/2010 8:11:25 PM thanks metaldave. I was wondering WHERE the FUCK the writer was talking about. But fk, he probelly was not there and cut and paste this story from the philadelphia review news or some news source. AS FAR AS DANZIG GOES. GLEN IS A NICE DUDE. I BET HE FKIN HATED PLAYING THIS SHOW. I bet all the security was niggers, oh i mean hams. I don't want to sound racest. some of my best budz are hams. And the crowd was one hundred percent white boyz. What a way to go out and find some pussy. NOT!

After reading your comment....I've dying to know....WHEN DOES YOUR NEW ALBUM COME OUT?? I'd love to hear it.
Stupid mother fucker.
metalpimplehead - 7/3/2010 8:04:02 PM This douchebag still makes the news? One of the worst, if no the worst musicians in rock.
BrineB3 - 7/3/2010 7:27:15 PM I'm not a huge Danzig fan, but I do keep up with them and make an effort to hear their new shit when it's released. I gave Deth Red Sabaoth a listen and I'm VERY impressed with it. Everyone who's even a half-assed Danzig fan should really like it.
