Myself, Graeme and James went to see Fear Factory at the London Astoria last night. Its the first time I've seen them outside of a festival. Not a bad gig at all. Wasn't overly impressed with the support act I saw (Breed 77), and unfortunately due to being a little late we missed the other 2 supporting acts. Fear Factory themselves got off to a bit of a rocky start - Burton C Bell's vocals were a little off - but after a few songs the vocal chords had clearly warmed up enough.
They played a good 4 or so tracks off of my favorite album, Demanufacture, which was excellent. I'm not overly fond of the first album as it lacks musical diversity in my opinion, and each subsequent album after Demanufacture was, in my opinion, another small step away from the potential they showed with that album. Still, I do like a lot of tracks off of the subsequent albums. The crowd seemed to be pretty impressed. All in all I'd rate the gig as an 8/10.

Oi! didn't we saw them in Reading - in the place next to the turtle - now called the Fez. ( :P ) - I'm pretty sure we saw Pitchshifter there too ?

No, but they were at Ozfest 98, which we went to in Milton Keynes, where Rich was on crutches.
