I was super lucky to be in San Diego last weekend for The Comic-Con because I got to go to Kirk Von Hammett’s Fear FestEvil After Party. The show started late at a downtown club on F Street called F6ix. The thrash metal band EXODUS<\/strong> started the evening dedicating their set to original singer Paul Baloff. It was great to see Steve “Zetro” Souza back in the lineup on lead vocals along with longtime band member Gary Holt on guitars. Exodus plowed through a killer set of bone crunching, headbanging hits which included “Bonded By Blood,” “Scar Spangled Banner,” “Blacklist” and “Toxic Waltz.” After Exodus played their set, Kirk Hammett of Metallica<\/strong> joined the band on stage along with Mark Osegueda of Death Angel<\/strong> for some covers. First they performed Judas Priest’s “Grinder” with the help of some lyrics off a cellphone. Next cover was “Lowrider” by WAR then a performance of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla.” Then, Robert Trujillo walked on the stage (half of Metallica was in the house!) to play the Metallica classic “Seek and Destroy.” <\/p>\n

After a brief break, Kirk and Robert came back out with Richard Christy (Death<\/strong>) on drums to jam out on more covers with the help of Mark Osegueda and Doug Pinnick (King’s X<\/strong>) on vocals. Doug did an amazing job on songs such as the Jimi Hendrix<\/strong> classic “Purple Haze” and “Jailbreak” by Thin Lizzy<\/strong>. Mark took the vocals on the Metallica song “Am I Evil” from their first album Kill ‘Em All<\/em>. Kirk and Robert seemed really excited to take a crack at an Ozzy Osbourne<\/strong> cover of “Diary Of A Mad Man” with Mark on vocals as well. There were so many great moments during the night like when Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction<\/strong> joined the crew on drums for the classic Jane’s song “Mountain Song.” The musicians on stage were all having fun and jamming out until the last song which was believe it or not “Jungle Boogie” by Kool And The Gang<\/strong>. It was an awesome heavy metal show that felt like a party and I will remember it for a long time. Check out some vids from the show below!<\/p>\n
