I went to see Cradle of Filth in 1998 supported by the Circus of Horrors at the Astoria.
I've really grown out of that stuff now so I'd like to say, "Yeah, what was I thinking of, going to see that shit?".

But despite being a loud, shouty, death band they actually played very competently and the both the music and vocals were mixed well and were perfectly and pleasantly audible. The show was well choreographed and done with just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek for a band that regularly features naked women covered in blood and fantasy/anti-religion-based, sexually sordid symbolism.

Also, Danny Filth a fairly nice chap, despite his on-stage character.

The Circus of Horrors was weird, but also kind of entertaining.

This has all gone a bit wrong, really.

My mate went to a System Of A Down gig recently.
At 38, he said, him and his mate were by far the oldest there, and felt like utter paedos.
