what do you think of the song though? i find it far below the standards they have set themselves.

[BLS-Pride]

Try listening to the whole album instead of just one song.

as i was saying, i was commenting on my dissapointment with that song. thanks.

[BLS-Pride]

Bitching over one song is pointless. The song actually groves and has a pretty good rythem.

not really. its my oppinion. thats your oppinion. ill express my oppinion how and when i like.

[BLS-Pride]

Well good for you. Then by all means bitch away.

[F*ck Fear]

Shot To Hell is a fucking rockin' disc.
Anyone that hasn't picked it up yet, is missing out on some great tunes.

[Rob]

Agreed, Zakk keeps turning out kickass albums one after another.  The last 5 BLS albums have all been excellent, and he's turned them all out in a matter if about 4 years.  He's a fuckin' song machine.

Just got home from seeing BLS in concert here in Sydney Australia, and man, what a f**kin' awesome gig!

Zakk Wylde was spot on with everything he played and was pretty receptive to the crowd too.

Can't remember the setlist exactly, but they opened with The Beginning At Last, closed with Stillborn, and the set was pretty heavy on Blessed Hellride tracks as well as quite a few from the new album Shot To Hell. All the songs sounded great though. Zakk even played keyboards on In This River, and dedicated The Last Goodbye to Steve Irwin and Peter Brock (Aussie's who've recently passed away). Nick played the solo in that one too, and replicated Zakk's studio solo perfectly.
Only disappointment for me was not hearing Demise Of Sanity played, because it's my fav BLS tune, but other than that I can't complain.

Will write up more about the gig later, I gotta get some sleep!

[metallex78]

Oh yeah, before the band the came on the had AFD playing over the PA, and the crowd was loving it too!

ok ive listened to the album......


i think its just, not a very good bls album at all. And the amount of ballads really do take the piss.

[Bodhi]

SHOT to hell might be BLS's best album to date, im seeing them in sayreville and nyc in october, anyone else goin?

[DEAD HORSE]

I just listened to the whole album, I can say is the best BLS album, really brillliant, heavy, melodic, soft , has everything!

Oct. 19th show in Jersey

Alright. Kick ass show indeed. Black Stone Cherry opened for BLS. Which I thought would be a good choice. I was wrong. They overstayed their welcome on stage. Extended their songs and shit that def. wasn't needed. They are talented but after a few of their songs you just want the BLS machine to come kick ass.

Now the place is packed and the BLS chants start coming. BLS goes on around ten. They open with New Religion and it kicked fuckin as much ass as you would think. The crowd last night was insane. NJ really stepped it up and made the band feel damn good. Nick Cantanse handled the solos for Spoke in the Wheel, The Last Goodbye, and In This River. I was happy to see Nick get some time to shine and he pulled off all 3 solos beautifully.

We had a great "DIME BAG" chant going. Zakk stopped the band and all you heard was the Dimebag chant which was amazing.

Zakk was in top form tonight. Voice, playing, everything. Ripped some killer solos and ripped through the set list. Great fucking show. The closed with Stillborn which was the song of the night for me. Just kicked all kinds of ass.. The whole place had their arms up and was singing along. Bleed for Me was another ass kicking song. Here's the set list from what I remember.

New Religion
Forever Down
Been a Long Time
Bleed For Me
Beginning at Last
Suffering Overdue
Funeral Bell
Spoke in the Wheel
The Last Goodbye
Sucide Messiah
In This River
Black Mass Reverends
Concrete Jungle
Fire It Up
Stillborn

[Bodhi]

great show at starland, i missed black stone cherry, saw them in NYC the next night,, it was just as good...ive seen bls 7 times in the past year and half...ii dont know why i go to every show, I think Zakk puts subliminal messages in his songs..anyone else on board with that?
