You're just trying to get me fired up huh chew? I see what you're doing.
Alex when I asked Phil why they weren't playing anything off that cd he said to me " what do you want us to do we play old songs and the new fans are like what the fuck is this"
So he doesn't give a shit about the people that were into them from the start and helped get their name out there for friends to listen to them

That sort of seems like a bullshit reason on his part... plenty of bands play old songs that new fans don't know. I'm almost wondering if there's some sort of hard feelings/legal reason they don't play anything off it.

can't really be legal reasons. The band is still on Prosthetic, and outside of Jeanne and the drummer, its the same band.

Triptykon w/ 1349 and Yakuza:
I pledged to myself on Saturday that I would leave at 8:00. That was the time the doors would open, which was particularly surprising because I've never known Slim's to have such a late show. At 7:45 it was late in NLCS Game 6, and I was hoping the Giants could just get it over with. I was ready to go see Tom G Warrior's latest genius project, Triptykon, along with black metal...somethings 1349 and avant-garde band Yakuza. But then, Uribe hit what looked to be a nice double to the opposite field. I was waiting for it to just sink to the field, and him getting a nice stand up double. But it just kept soaring, until I saw a Phillies fan in a moment of pure indecision. He caught the ball that would send the Giants, and by proxy the Bay Area, to the World Series, ending the sports drought that has captured our fair area for quite some time. Needless to say, I was happy as a sports fan, but in a few hours, I was about to be ecstatic as a metal fan.
I drove with haste at 8:20 across the Bay Bridge, taking the S curve at a nice round 50 miles per hour, eventually arriving at Slim's at about 9:15. I was greeted with the sounds of a melodious black metal tune, that I was immediately by which I was immediately gripped. After getting my ticket from the will call guy, I made my way in to watch Yakuza, a band with whom I was completely unfamiliar. I was immediately thinking "damn, this is great." But then, I watched the vocalist pick up a sexy looking tenor sax and my inner jazz fan went ballistic. I was really gripped by Yakuza and their performance, and if anyone has recommendations for me, I'm totally there.
I was about three or four people away from the rail between Yakuza and 1349, and I was pretty content with that position. I don't really think they're an awesome band, but they have some cool tunes, and I wanted to be in prime position for Celtic Frost. The mumble around pretty much yielded the fact that about 40% of the people were there solely for 1349. Once they came onstage in classic black metal fashion, that is to mean choral/orchestral intro with a slow moving, horn wielding intensity, I knew I was probably going to see something pretty by the books. Still, watching them perform some songs was fun, and the crowd was really into them. The sole moments where I was into it were when they weren't afraid to let some melody out and break away from the 4 chord black metal tremolo picks that they just looooved to play. By the end of their set, I was wishing Yakuza could have had some more time, with perhaps a nice Baker Street cover to round out the night. Hey, you can end a set with a Gerry Rafferty cover, fuck off elitists.
By sets end, a few people started to leave, allowing me to, in jackal like fashion, speed into a nice rail spot right at center stage. I was getting pretty excited, because I knew that's where Tom had to be rocking out all night. They took stage pretty quickly, and Triptykon were greeted as if they were metal veterans. They opened, much to my surprise, with Procreation of the Wicked, which is one of my favorite Frost songs. Quickly afterwards, they jumped into an awesome up-tempo rendition of Goetia that absolutely crushed. I always thought the song was made classic with its nice slow building Goliath-ness, but up tempo it was a mammoth of a song. I was feeling like I had just hit myself in the face with a hammer when Triptykon got to their final song of the night, the 20 minute long epic, The Prolonging. This song is my sole complaint of the evening. In that time, I could have heard another Triptykon song and a nice Monotheist classic, I was thinking Progeny. But nope, we had to hear the ambient drag on of the aptly named Prolonging. Now, before you pick up your bowl of Spaghetti-O's and storm away from your computer in disgust, let me explain. I don't think the Prolonging is bad, but it should have no place in a Triptykon live set. With such a long history, Warrior should have slipped in a few other songs. C'mon Tom. Tom ended the night saying "Triptykon bows to you," and there was a nice bow. I shook hands with the whole band, escaped with a drumstick, and was on my way. I feel incredibly accomplished knowing that I've seen Celtic Frost material live, along with some excellent new tunes. A night well spent.
Today, I read this check in from the road, that mainly just talks about how awesome we were not only as a crowd, but as people too. I was really touched that he took the time to do this, and I'm really sad I wasn't there to talk to him before the show. He would have had no trouble finding me later, he'd be such a fun character to have a long conversation with.

And Alex, I have the same Unearth shirt as the guy in the last picture.
No one gets to read my review now...
Goetia footage. If I knew what I looked like while I headbang, I'd tell you which one I was...
