PiercingMetal’s “Best Of” 2013: The Concerts

7 Comments

At this point in time do I really need to say that I see a lot of concerts during the course of the year? I hope not because this one of the key factors that makes up my daily life as founder of the PiercingMetal brand. That said ?I wanted to once again use the Official Blog for the site to highlight a number of the shows that I attended during 2013 that I felt were the absolute best experiences. They’re not really in order of impact or importance but there are a few at the top that did hit me the hardest. Here we go.

1. Metallica @ The Apollo Theater: Thrashing like a maniac in Harlem? Yeah that happened. Classic set and free beer for the whole show. No complaints here.

2. Kamelot @ Stage 48: Returning to the headlining stage with Delain as support and Eklipse. This was a righteous show for sure. My belief in this band was reinforced yet again. I was not surprised in this.

3. Eddie Trunk 30th Anniversary Bash: Another one that I was super fortunate to participate in because an all-star jam with members of KISS, Overkill, Twisted Sister, Accept, Anthrax, Stryper, Guns n Roses and so many more is just impossible to qualify as being “an okay time”. This was insanity.

4. Trans-Siberian Orchestra @ Prudential Center: The final go round for the “Lost Christmas Eve” tour premise. Always a bombastic spectacle that needs seeing for believing.

5. Rock Allegiance Tour w/Volbeat & HIM @ Williamsburg Park: Two excellent main acts and solid support from All That Remains. Whew. Exciting for Brooklyn and you know how we roll in this borough.

The Details: What a long, strange trip it’s been for the mighty Kamelot over the last couple of years but if you have been paying proper attention, the band has been laying their brand of sonic assault on the Metal masses with a powerful new album in “Silverthorn” and their new vocalist Tommy Karevik has been winning over the assembled masses night after night. The tour will also feature Delain from the Netherlands and Eklipse so you know it’s going to be a fantastic night of music for all in attendance. That being said I am super excited to offer up this contest to my readers thanks to the fine folks at the Stage 48 venue. Read on to see how to participate.
