Phoenix Mayhem

  Monday 19 July 2010 - 07:57:39 | Яed UFO

I got to venue just before 6 when the Meet and Greet which said be infront of the RoadRunner tent and wait for Seb. While waiting a I felt a disturbance in the force. A monsoon storm was coming and hopefully bringing some rain to cool the temps down from 113.

All the sudden the storm hit and flipped over the RoadRunner tent and the Jagermeister tent and for about 5 minutes all the vendors were holding on to the canopies of the tents or they're going to be wrecked.


Here is a quick video of that.

Security was trying to rush everyone out of this area despite telling them we are waiting for Seb. Seems like these Meet and Greets usually don't go smoothly and your like a trout swimming up stream the entire process.

Ray and Munky came out for the Meet and Greet, Fieldy and JD were busy with other things I asked for Shane to come out but they keep him locked in his cage and only official members get to attend. There were of course NO PICS but I'm Red UFO so I took a few anyway. Unless you won your Meet and Greet from local radio station 98 KUPD. There was some guy taking pics of the winners. Modlife winners are treated as second class citizens.


I was looking forward to seeing Rob Zombies set as I've heard good things about it and haven't seen him live before. His entire act is one big gimic of cheesy props. He only has one hour on stage and spent several minutes mumbling about wanting to see some tits. Later in the set he mentions he has ran out of time. His voice sucks live, sings half of the lyrics and mumbles incoherently. I noticed he tries to sing his newer songs but butchers all the older material. To make up for his lack of talent he uses a ton of stage props, pyro, skeleton mics and various satanic imagery to mask the fact he sucks. Watch this video, it sums up the Rob Zombie experience. Its fun to watch, his band is great and the visuals are cool, but Zombie is no Jonathan Davis that puts 110% into every lyric that comes out of his mouth.

It was damn near the hottest day of the summer. Allot of people walk around half naked in bikinis as Zombie pointed out earlier. Korns setlist was the same as what was reported previously. Despite the heat JD and everyone gave it everything they had. Jonathan's performance on stage puts Zombies to shame and you see why Korn headlines not Zombie. Jon looks pretty pissed off singing 'Oildale' and it sounds fantastic live. They opened with 'Here To Stay' with a new opening that's a few minutes long. The guitar pitch Shane was playing in that night sounded a little off in 'Clown' and 'Freak on a Leash'. However you can't notice that in the bootlegs because my mic isn't sensitive enough to pick that up.

I didn't plan on bootlegging the show but old habits die hard. All I had is my crappy old digital camera that has a fixed zoom. Check out the sample quality of Somebody Someone near the end and then decide if its worth your time to download it. You can also download the entire show on Mp3. Hopefully fans send in a full show in way better quality that this!

This was my 19th Korn show and my wife's 5th and she commented the band was so good she understand why I often travel to see this show as many times as I can!

Here's a better video than mine showing some highlights.

So the paying Modlife premium members have less rights than just random local radio contest winners? That's pure and incredible BS and unfairness right there...

Thanks a lot for the review and the media!

Glad to see Right Now added to the setlist - but the rest is pretty much what I saw on the Ballroom Blitz tour. Oh well, I still can't wait to see them rock the shit outta Tinley Park on the 30th.

I've felt that for a while fanclub winners get treated as 2nd class citizens compared to radio winners. At least I'll know what to expect for my meet and greets at the end of the week. Looks like Mayhem is bringing the hot with them up north since it's gonna be killer at the end of the week - YO!

Why aren't they starting with Oildale? It was a killer start. That set list could use some changes.

For those going to the other shows, don't show up late just to watch Korn. Get there early and check out Chimaira, Shadows Fall, and Lamb of God. You won't be dissapointed. Those bands own live.

Can you upload the videos in 2 parts? Only Premium members can download stuff over 1 GB. Would be great!
Videos are great though, thanks.

Red, It was the same at Idaho meet and greet. They told everyone no pics but then when they got to the radio contest people (right next to me) they were all posing with them, taking tons of pics and time. I was so pissed! None of them knew who Ray was, and when I held out my Korn 3 cd to be signed they were all whats that? I decided fuck this and whipped out my camera and started shooting..

I guess somebody could just say? So the fans from Korns website are 2nd class people around here? The radio station winners who are probably related to the local DJs get VIP treatment and we're threatened with our properly being taken away.

Ya fuck it, just take pics and if Sleepy or whomever grabs your camera it won't look cool as others take pics of them trying to break your shit.

I plan on taking as many pics as I want. Ray and Munk are cool, I don't think they'll mind. We've been able to take pics all this time, I don't see why it should change now. Fuck that. I'm gonna make damn sure that I get a pic of Ray with my RLS poster!!

Modlife is increasingly turning into a waste of money. Pay nearly $100 a year in the OFFICIAL Korn fanclub just to be subjected to threatening no photo policies and standing in the middle of nature's fury being told to leave, all the while never knowing who will show up to the damn thing afterall.

Wow! Rob Zombie is terrrrrrrible! I agree 100% with you red - I'm not looking forward to Rob Zombie at all. Ever since Ozzfest, Rob has constantly butchered his old classic songs in an attempt to make his newer songs more 'festive' live. His new album is completely bogus and a rip off of Alice Cooper. His album greatly appeals to 6 year olds looking for an little spook.
I like and miss his old material! He reminds me of Ozzy; in the terms of continuing making new SHIT-TASTIC music and having metal heads disregard it completely.
KORN puts on the BEST fucking live show, bitches. So many people, other than us, are so oblivious to it.

OMG, Zombie is horrible. I had no idea he sounded that bad live. I think I'll use his stage time as an opportunity to get one last beer before Korn comes on.

Korn normally takes the stage around 22:00 and get off at 23:00.

When did the e-mails for the Modlife M & G come in? The Cinci date is tomorrow yet I haven't received any notice of what to do (I assume I am supposed to just go to the will call booth and pick up my little cloth sticker) to actually meet "the band."

I too plan on taking a bunch of pictures (I have to at least get one with Munky). Fuck that, I paid to be there, I put my time in as being a fan for 16 years, I deserve to take a picture with the band. They can't take my camera away as it is personal property. They would permanently lose a fan by doing that as I would never buy another one of their albums, shirts, go to their concerts, or anything like that. Fuck you camera police, I just want a single picture with each member.
