House of Blues Las Vegas

4/13: New Skeletal Faces, Imperial triumphant, Mortiis, Mayhem Overall experience: B+ Best Set: Imperial triumphant Least Fav Set: Mortis Most Disappointing: N/A Highlight moment: IT bassist "bass solo" Best Factor: Loud and clear sound from all bands First off, great LOUD and clear sound from all of the bands! Strangely different from the night before at the same exact venue. Right off the bat, New Skeletal Faces blasted my ears, but in the best way possible, which impressed me right away. Overall, enjoyable set from them. Then, Imperial triumphant blew me away with an impeccable drum sound and guitar/bass ambience through usage of various pedals alongside with some entertaining stage antics and visuals in a "performing arts" like manner. Easily my favorite set. Mortiis wasn't my thing for a live show. And especially after a set like imperial triumphant, it was incredibly difficult to match that kind of energy and wow factor. And then there was Mayhem, the main act. Well, its Mayhem, -ish, necrobutcher and Attila being only longer standing members. It was a great set, but if you're not a fan of monotonous blasting, I could see it becoming old for the listener especially after a somewhat long show. But, if you like this type of metal, such as myself, it was excellent. Mayhem presented their set in a historical manner, that I thought was cool, starting from their newest songs to their earliest songs in their career. Set did not disappoint!

4/12: Unearth, Lacuna Coil, In Flames, MH Overall experience: C- Best Set: Machine Head Least Fav Set: Lacuna Coil Most Disappointing: In Flames Highlight moment: "Halo" Encore Best Factor: Rob Flynn Overall, great efforts by the bands that was tainted by bad sound in the venue. During one of my favorite songs from unearth ("My Will Be Done"), Buzz's sweet sweeping arpeggios were completely inaudible! Also, In Flames's set was ruined by a loud and awful bass tone that had little to no distinguishable notes. Even, Machine Head's sound was a rough start but luckily fixed itself half way through the set. The lead guitar player, not Flynn, was too quiet in alot of parts. However, sound during songs like "Locust" and "Halo" proved to be badass parts of the set when the guitars were finally loud enough. On a positive note, all the bands brought great energy and stage presence as well as performance. The epic "Halo" encore was a great way to finish out the show on a positive note.

Chase Atlantic was really great! I was so excited seeing that they were going on tour, let alone having a show in my hometown and that I was able to get a ticket. They did really great, the openers were good too, and when it was finally time for Chase Atlantic to come out, I was so excited. The venue is small, the past three shows I've seen we're also at this venue unfortunately; so never a fan of this place because of how small it is and how crowded it gets with people touching and leaning against you the whole time. Not as hot as last time with people passing out from the heat, so I guess that's good. Will for sure look forward to Chase Atlantic touring again and hope to be able to get a ticket again

He show was BEYOND AMAZING infact Mr Gates did so well He was given an award and was given His own special day call Kevjn Gates Day Sept. 6th a day of his own ... there is no words to describe Mr. GATES. Hes mindblowing and makes u soeechless and takes ur breath away. His words have ao much power behind them . Hes truly sonething so special and ao proud of him . Keep ur head up never look down . Love u kevin Gates and thank you, u honestly have changed my entire life for only the better . Thank yoy .Despite the fact I got sick during the middle of Kevin Gates show I enjoyed every minute. Wouldn't miss his shows for the world. STAY BLESSED .

Concert was good. Venue not so good . To many people over sold no place to see from. Then the fools in the mosh pit ruined it for every one . I get the pit I used to be in there myself but when you over sell a show and have no were to stand and can't see the stage you might want to not let the jackasses start the pit . No security no order basically a free for all. Finally had got a spot were my girl could see since she's short and after the first 10 seconds of the first band I had to push her to safety when ment watching the show from a TV in the back. So let's break it down $205 for tickets $30 for Uber $20 for a beer then $20 for another Uber all that for us to have to watch from a TV but keep in mind there was seats for more $ but how does sitting far for stage cost more than GA standing close to stage. What they need to do is charge people who want to mosh another fee or a higher ticket price and make a section for them . Those people are even watching the show they just want to mosh . So I have to pay me because those people want to have a pit. That's trash house of blues .smh

Chevelle put on an amazing show! I was disappointed that it took FOREVER for the opening band to start after doors. Not to mention the venue had the same song on repeat for over an hour and a half while we waited. The opening band was okay, but not on the same level and was disappointing after such a long wait. Chevelle played a good mix of older songs and newer songs. All three played well, had great energy, and I would definitely see them again (just not at House of Blues)!

Absolutely loved Damian & Stephen’s performance! Was a dream come true and I wasn’t disappointed. Great energy, vibrant energetic, knew most of their songs. Band and backup singers were also great. Appreciated the love and respect shown for their father Mr. Bob Marley with video clips. We had a table at House of Blues, LV. Our waitress was attentive. I love that HOB is a smaller venue and more intimate, could see the brothers clearly. Amazing performance & music. Thank you for the amazing memories!

NBT rocked the house for sure! BIG energy for this show, it was fantastic! The venue is fabulous too - splurge on the VIP seating, it is totally worth it AND gets you access to the Foundation Room at the top of Mandalay Bay where you can get some great views of the Sphere. House of Blues has amazing sound and lighting for such a small venue - would go there again in a heartbeat. Of the three shows of NBT I've seen so far, this one was the best.

Great time straight chaos would do it again but to the guy with the Jurassic park shirt that looked like a 40 year old virgin that threatened me because I hit you in the pit with a back fist…. 1 don’t tempt me with a good time and 2 if you don’t want to get hit stay out the god damn pit fucken you crayon eating tard and to the all of crowd who were swinging at people in the crowd quit being a fucken pussy and get into the pit seems like you wanna be in the pit. And y’all wonder why you get crowd killed buuuuuuuuuut 10/10 show would recommend to family and friends

Awesome show as usual! Great to see these guys back out on the road and the new bass player Spider brings the thunder. They look like they're truly having fun and like what they do. The new stuff rocks, was fun to get a dose of that. I was even inspired to pick up an Asian Hooker on the way back to the hotel! .... Just kidding (in case my wife happens to see this) 😂

the show was great,excellent music,but it was ‘’very difficult’’ to watch and enjoy the show for me and the people that were with me in the general admission section standing right in front of the stage,the problem is that the stage is way too high ,plus there were a bunch of speakers placed along in the edge of the stage,making more difficult to watch the show 😖😥 thank you I gave 5 stars to Santana,his band …

What a great show! Blackie was a total PRO and was very gracious and personable, engaging with everyone individually at the meet & greet. THEN... Armored Saint opened up with Reign of Fire and never let up! They sounded great and put on a killer show. W.A.S.P. was everything I hoped for and more. Excellent band, great sound, awesome song selection and a really cool venue to see an intimate show. Blackie can STILL get it done! Also, Jay, our VIP Liaison, is a great guy and a really cool. He worked his ass off all night! I actually saw the first THREE shows of this tour... Las Vegas, Anaheim & Phoenix, and they only got better each night. I also met and hung out with Stet Howland and his wife at the Vegas show. They were both SO cool and a lot of fun! Great Job all the way around! I will NEVER forget it!

As usual a brilliant live show from Frank. Full of good vibes, energy, singing and of course dancing because I want to dance. Frank, how do you do it. We saw you in Vegas at the House of Blues for our wedding anniversary trip and you were doing 50 States in 50 days. you were near the end on number 48 and looked like you had just started out. See you soon

Yes this was the most EXCITING EXCELLENT CONCERT... The EMOTIONS in the crowd were running high you could just feel it right through you.. for myself I was in utter AMAZEMENT BLACKIE and W.A.S.P. have outdone themselves from the start until they left the stage... They are TRULY """AWESOME"""... """THE BEST OF THE BEST""" THANK YOU to all who made this HAPPEN!!!..💞💞💞

From start to finish this was an amazing show! The VIP Soundcheck experience was definitely worth it to spend time with In This Moment. The line-up/ supporting bands were excellent from the start with Cherry Bombs to Sleep Token and of course the energetic Nothing More helped pump up the crowd for In This Moment. ITM was phenomenal as always, and I was excited to hear my favorite song from the Blood album performed live. ITM's set rocked and I can't wait for thier next tour! Also, our seats were great and I got a perfect view of the stage.

This was an awesome show. The Anniversary show in such an intimate setting was really nice. Even standing we had a great time, we could see really well. House of Blues is the perfect setting for Mr Santana. Second time seeing him and he doesn’t disappoint. He had some wonderful vocalist that kept the crowd going. Hope to see him again, would definitely buy tix again.

The show was incredible. Didn't appreciate had to pay $$ because my bag wasn't the size of a hand and could not take it in the theatre. What women carries a bag the size of a hand unless its required. Should have been notified before purchasing tickets it was the policy of The House of Blues (believe me I was not alone with women who had to do the same and were upset). You'll made a lot of money, which was at our mercy, and it wasn't fair. And the theatre was freezing.

KALEO was awesome as expected. This was our 5th time seeing them this summer, not counting when they canx'd in Las Vegas in March/April. HoB put on a great show -- the Fast Lane Pass was absolutely worth it!! Never realized how good their restaurant menu was -- will got back to their restaurant just for the quality food!!

Amazing night, unfortunately missed out on the meet and greet with these guys. By my choice had to keep my place in the front of stage... all in all a heartfelt love of metal by everyone. MAY 11TH Las Vegas now recognizes as Vincent Paul Abbot. Very grateful to have been a part of last nights gathering of metal family from all over the place... much LOVE!

Was a blast as always. I wasn't quite as rowdy as normal but they did the dead and I caught 1st stick then landed a pick too. Was great. Leave to me phone died before getting them all to sign my stick. Last time was Little town in Michigan. 2004. Now That's been a minute or too. Waiting for new CD to come had ordered before we went 😂.
