Certified Psychos Tour: Baltimore Show Review

The Certified Psychos Tour featuring Twiztid, Blaze ya dead homie and Anybody Killa came into Baltimore and not only did they bring the smoke they brought the old school jams.

This Twiztid tour was an old school slobber knocker setlist tour with all 3 headliners intertwining between songs. It’s been a while since I’ve got to see Blaze and ABK, but this tour brought back so many good memories. All 3 pulled out some classic bangers and even some deep cut shit. These were the songs we use to hear banging every time a tour came around those days which seemed to be like 2-3 times a year.

Twiztid did “2nd Hand Smoke”, “Mutant X” “First day Out” . Blaze did “Grave ain’t no place”, “Casket” and Maggot Face”. While ABK did “ Come out and Play”, “Gang Related” and “Hey Y”all”. With a bunch more hits from all 3 as well.

Then they all left the stage which I figured was going to be the “Encore” when they came back out to do a few more songs but I was surprised. We had an encore reunion of the one and only gangstas reppin’ Psychopathic Rydas. The Rydas banged out “Dumpin” “Black Trucks” and “Pimp Suit” .

After a few more songs they all left the stage again and one could only imagine that maybe since the Rydas were in the house maybe Dark Lotus might make an appearance also, and just like that wicked black magic “bammm” The Lotus was on stage also banging out shit like “Ka-Boom”, “Pass the Axe” and ending the night with “Juggalo Family”.

This was such a killer night, it just reminded me how much I loved going to all those shows back in the day in between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. We may never get a full Psychopathic Records “Hayday” reunion but regardless the songs of that ERA will always live on. WHOOP WHOOP

King Diamond who’s on tour now with Overkill and Night Demon.

Overkill always puts on a great show and shows that face pace thrash metal is still kick ass. Led by NJ’s Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth Overkill has that distinctive sound with Bobby’s high pitched and raspy vocals. With songs like “Scorched”, “ Rotten to the Core” and “Hello From the Gutter”, Overkill got the crowd into a frenzy and warmed up the stage before the king.

You know it’s gonna be a good night when it’s 3 days before Halloween and you get to see a kick ass set from King Diamond. King Diamond who’s 68 right now still commands that stage and sounds amazing with his insanely falsettos. The stage show at a King Diamond show is always such a great sight to see. With a multilayer setup of stairs and little pieces of elaborate set all over it’s such a great view and perfect setting to watch a King Diamond set.

The set list was amazing too we got to hear songs from such a great career like “A Mansion in the Darkness”, “Halloween “, “Spider Lilly”, “Welcome Home”, and “Eye of the Witch” and of course ending the night with “Abagail”.

If you’re a fan of King Diamond or just a fan of great music that adds that Halloween haunted asylum themed stage performances then you need to go out and check this tour now. King Diamond never disappoints and always puts on one hell of a show.

Combichrist came into Lovedrafts in Mechanicsburg with an old school electronic set and the return of PA’s own DeathMaschine.

Combichrist took the dark stage armed with Eric on the synths/sampler and Andy on Vocals and an open stage to rampage on. I got to hear some killer kick ass songs I haven’t heard in a while like “Today I woke to the rain of blood”, “This is My Rifle” and This shit will fuck you up”.

The crowd were super excited to watch the set and everyone was having a good time, dancing to the beats, and singing all the songs and having an amazing time. I’ve been wanting to see Combichrist do these old school sets and have always loved that era of the band. We also got to hear “Like to Thank My Buddies” and “Shut up and Swallow”. We also got a super rare treat for an encore Andy went back even further in his musically roots and pulled out an Icon of Coil song “Dead Enough For Life”, which got the crowd in a frenzy.

LUDACRIS : THE HALL AT LIVE

ATL IS IN THE HOUSE.

Ludacris came into Maryland at the Hall in Live Casino and brought with him the masses that were ready for a good time, good fun and good tunes.

Ludacris said it’s been a long time since he’s been back to Maryland and DC area. I loved that he just came out with his dj and his hype man and himself nothing else was needed when you entertain like Ludacris does. Whether you’re a fan from back in the day or a fan of his movies, Ludacris made everyone happy and made sure they were fully entertained.

Of course Ludacris played some of his hits songs like “Act a Fool”, “Move Bitch”, “What’s your fantasy”, “Get Back” and “Area Codes” but he also played some old school tracks and a few covers like “Holiday Inn” and “Yeah”. The crowd was hitting that good weed as well and threw some blunts up to the stage during “BlueBerry Yum Yum”.

Ludacris made a statement that his first album came out in 2000 and this next year is the 25th anniversary of the album. It was a great night and a great time, Ludacris knows how to keep the fans engaged and entertained all night. He’s very fan friendly and charismatic which makes sense that he’s also a great actor.
