Once again the Showbox Sodo out did itself. This time the chaos-causing bands were Toronto’s own Cancer Bats, California’s Bleeding Through, and United Kingdom’s Bullet For My Valentine. The “No Fear Tour” line-up brought some head-thrashing metal, with a mix of some quick finger work on the fret board from Bullet For My Valentine’s Michael Paget. All in all this show proved to be the most bruising experience for me — and my now broken camera.
As I approached the Showbox Sodo, I could see only one thing: a wall of people that stretched as far as I could see. This brought several thoughts to my mind: one being, ‘ this show is going to be nuts,’ and the second, ‘how am I going to get shots of these bands?’
As I walked past the wall of people, I saw it was a mix of young and old. Hell, I thought, I can push my way past the old and weaker folks… However this show was going to prove to be a lot more painful than I initially thought , due in large part to the huge number of people jamming their way into the relatively small venue.
