The crowd at the Type O Negative show was scarier than the one at the Macabre show. As usual there were the same goth, corsetted wearing, black eyeshadowed women on the lookout for Peter Steele.
Brand New Sin opened for them, a band I've heard very little about. They're new and follow the no bullshit line that I like in a rock band. They were only up for about forty minutes but they made the most of it, working the already anxious crowd into a frenzy.

Celtic Frost was next and the main reason for the dozens of photographers between me and the front of the stage. It was their first show in years, a reunion of sorts, but by the way they sounded it was poorly timed. In their defense, the sound was off and they couldn't be heard well but the whole spooky makeup a la Gene Simmons a la King Diamond is a bit of overkill when you're already using the growly cookie monster voice.
Not all bad though. They had a few good songs.

Type O Negative was great as usual though their show seemed a bit different. The songs were closer together so it was difficult to hear where each one started. Often it appeared to be one song broken only by Peter falling into the keyboard player and drinking from red wine from the bottle.

Never have I been to a show with so many photographers. At one point there was a jam of photographers between the audience and the stage.
