ANTHRAX 9/19/2012

DEATH ANGEL

Opening act, but I was stuck in a long line outside trying to get inside after the show had a late start. Unfortunately I missed the bulk of their show.

TESTAMENT 

These guys still got it! The energy on stage was absolutely nuts! 

Not to mention the energy in the crowd!

Great show!

ANTHRAX

Epic show! Absofreakingloutly EPIC! 

I was so excited to shoot a band from so far back in my past.

It was so worth it, I hope that I get to shoot them again. 

They preformed for the crowd and played for the cameras.

The Debut of The Zombie Killer Guitar
made by,  Stephen McSwain.
This is one hell of a guitar. It's my understanding that it was even buried for a period of time before it was unearthed to preform on stage.

BUCKETHEAD 9/15/2012

Buckethead is one wicked good guitarist.  I was just blown away!

Not to mention he has mad skills doing the robot and swinging the nunchucks! 

After a little confusion about my confirmation of a photo pass, I was allowed by one of the tour group managers to shoot photos from the back of the house. Evidently Buckethead himself does not want the distraction of photog's up front. I guess I can see how that might be a problem being that he as one person has sooo much to do on stage.

 Special thanks to the staff at The Neptune for going the extra mile to help me work it all out, or I would have had a long sad drive home with no photo's.
