![]() ![]() ![]() He vowed to the crowd though that before the tour was over, he would get into the mosh pit. He said country crowds there’s always a couple of rednecks that like to get drunk and have a fight. At one point he mentioned that heavy metal crowds don’t fight which he really liked. He was aware of the difference in the audiences and made note of that several times throughout his performance. But again, before going I thought how does a country star mix with a heavy metal band? The answer to that question is incredible. ![]() I knew what to expect and that I knew it would be a good show. I had seen him before, but it’s been many years. It’s very far removed from the sound of Five Finger Death Punch but yet it worked to have him on the tour. It would be what I would consider the heavier end of the newest wave of country music. He is very much in the genre of new country with a little bit of southern rock thrown in for good measure. I couldn’t tell you one single song that they did but I was really impressed with his originals. Cory and his band put on an absolutely fantastic show. I was so blown away and pleasantly surprised by what took place.įor starters, when the opening act Cory Marks who is relatively new hit the stage, almost everybody was already in their seat. I was really curious to see how people would react to this. I’ve always thought I would much rather have genre crossing artists together on a bill then a crappy startup band that’s just in the same type of musical category. It was always exciting to me because it was a great way to expose yourself to music that you had not heard before. What I’m trying to say by that is that when I was a kid, they would put bills together of different types of bands that weren’t always the exact same genre. While much of F8 is simply carrying their name brand and hallmark sound forward the manner in which they do it is what defines epic.This is one of those concerts that I’ve been anticipating for a while because it’s very much a throwback to concerts from when I was a kid. To put such a timeless issue we all face into such perspective, drawing upon every emotion you own in a few short moments of time, is growth defined. There’s something that I hope you’ll remember I’m writing this in case I’ve moved along I’m writing this in case I’m gone tomorrow But before I bow out which song was my favorite? From there, it’s up to you to go discover the rest and do it with an open mind. I prefer to call out my personal highlights as a point of reference. I mean, hell isn’t a mosh pit all about social retribution anyway? Where oh where did we go wrong? Where ever that was, I’m letting F8 (fate, get it?) bring it back.Īs usual I won’t get into each and every song. You’ve got many many more of those in the future for that eventual day when we’re allowed to slam into each other again without fear of social retribution. Instant classic.īut before we get to where I place that award, I want to reiterate that if you’re into the 5FDP MOSH PITS, you’re covered. That’s where A Little Bit Off Today stands to me. When you have that attention to detail in such a form of art, you have just posted tomorrows classic song today. Even the production is a little bit off to start. How you can contain and focus such rage I will never be able to fathom. We go from just being a little off and not knowing why to having to say goodbye to someone close. A Little Bit Off today as far as I’m concerned drives the bands personal growth home. But the intensity never goes away.Īnd now we get to where I discovered F8 was now available. We slow down in how we deliver the message, a bit. But through the course of the song you’ll sense a chance in pace and attitude. Living The Dream we start to see the shift. But it’s not really separate yourself from your past, is it? Growth I believe some call it. In fact, these first 2 songs again make you go “yea, this is 5FDP” and that’s not a bad thing. Full Circle again is again a good song but nothing new. To illustrate – Inside Out is your traditional Five Finger that mixes Moodys rage into melodic raw emotion that has become his and the bands trademark. By song 3 you start off with the same intensity but you certainly feel a shift. Heads up take it cause the next 2 songs are all out energy and rage. Slow at first, as if to give you a breather. Quite simply, this is what it is like to listen to a classic being born.į8 starts off quietly, with oddly enough an F8 instrumental intro. A quick trip to Amazon music and I now own F8 and within the hour, started this review. Recently stumbling upon the fact I missed that Five Finger Death Punch has released new material, I ramped up quickly once I heard “A Little Bit Off Today” and had almost every emotion come to life inside of one song.
