Korn & Alice In Chains August 20 2019

  This is the fourth (and final) show of the multi event ticket I bought for my son in law Kaden's birthday. This is the show he wanted to see. It was myself, Kaden, my daughter Kristeen, and their friend Ashton. I'm not a big Korn fan, but I do like Alice in Chains, so There was a little bit for everyone on this one. We tried to upgrade to pavilion seats but again, they were sold out. So back to the lawn we go. I hate the lawn. The pictures I took were horrible. I started taking pics of the big screen they have above the pavilion just to have something.
  There where two opening bands for this one. Fever 333 which we missed entirely. I hear they are a two piece band. The other was Underoath. I have no expectations for opening bands. If they suck, well I'm not out anything. If they are good, well then that's bonus. This was bonus! Underoath is pleasantly heavy! I understand they have a little "Christian Metal" vibe to them. I won't hold that against them as long as they're good. Here's their set list.

 1. On My Teeth
 2. Loneliness
 3. Rapture
 4. Breathing In New Mentality
 5. Ihateit
 6. Hold Your Breath
 7. No Frame
 8. Writing On The Walls
 9. Sink With You

  Almost thirty yeas ago, I was supposed to see Alice In Chains on the Clash Of The Titans Tour with Slayer, Megadeth, & Anthrax. Finally able to complete the bill with this show. The  (not so) new singer William DuVall is a great addition. He does the Layne Staley material justice. Jerry Cantrell was phenomenal! Truly an under appreciated guitar player. Mike Inez was there. But you couldn't tell from the big screen. They never showed him. They Showed Jerry's guitar with a naked chick on it more than Mike! Sean Kinney told a funny story at the end of the set about driving a golf cart into the retention pond out front of the venue. I just know that was the show I missed! Oh well. I was here now, and It was good! Here's their set list .

 1. Angry Chair
 2. Man In The Box
 3. Check My Brain
 4. Again
 5. Them Bones
 6. Dam That River
 7. Stone
 8. Rainier Fog
 9. No Excuses
 10. Nutshell
 11. Dirt
 12. We Die Young
 13. The One You Know
 14. Would?
 15. Rooster

  Kind of like the opening band, I had no expectations for Korn and they surprised me. They put on a great show. Jonathan Davis really impressed me. His voice was perfect throughout the whole show. And the bagpipe solo was a new experience for me. Not to many bands can pull off bagpipes! Here's their set list.

 1. Here To Stay
 2. Blind
 3. Divine
 4. Rotting In Vain
 5. You'll Never Find Me
 6. Twisted Transistor
 7. Drum Solo
 8. Shoots And Ladders

  Now here is where they really caught my attention. They ended this song with a "snippet" of the song "One" by Metallica! It was super Heavy!

 9. Got The Life
 10. Make Me Bad
 11. Somebody Someone
 12. Freak On A Leash
 13. 4 U
 14. Twist
 15. Coming Undone/ We Will Rock You
 16. Falling Away From Me

  All in all it was a great show. And a great time spent with my kids and their crazy friend! I love my kids and all their friends. Here are some (crappy) pics.
