It's Bodom, of course it's going to be amazing!!! Even though Bodom was late to start their set, because their drummer, Jaska Raatikainen, ended up in the hospital due to back problems. They still delivered! Once Jaska got back, they immediately started playing, and even played 2 extra songs because of the delay! After the show, band members were giving autographs and talking amongst the fans! It was a great night!! I personally was up at the front of the pit for the whole night!! My friend even got on stage in a head banging push up contest during Austrian Death Machine's set.

I am wayy! down on my knees with the confession that I went to see Skeleton Witch and actually thought about leaving early since I have one of those Meet the Dawn jobs. I had listened to a few Children of Bodom songs when I was in my Lamb of God phase and so I had previously been somewhat distracted from really focusing on them. I did enjoy Skeleton Witch but I am so, so glad I stayed to experience the metal ecstasy that Children fo Bodom imparted. Their music is both hard and beautiful and there is no dividing line between the two. They are hot, very talented and make you feel like you are being serenaded. Their frontman does not act like a car salesman begging for a bone nor is there any hint of egotism from any band member. They played much longer than I expected and I couldn't stop dancing for the entire set. Go see them!

we had to wait over an hour for children of bodom to get on stage. i know that i am suppose to say that it was well worth the wait once they got on. it was untill they stopped playing they only played 40 minutes and then they where done they expected us to understand. oh i understand that i did not get the experience that i wanted and paid for. they are awesome though.

I got tickets to Children of Bodom and The Black Dahlia Murder for me and a few friends because it was my birthday just a few days before. I have always loved Children of Bodom but more so their keyboardists side project Warmen! Either way I thought they were fantastic live! One of my friends was there for the Black Dahlia Murder and I love them too. I thought they did a really good job and I got into them even more than I did when I saw them at Mayhem this past summer!

YES! BODOM WAS AWSOME! When they came on stage and started playing I never wanted it to end! The opening bands were great but it felt like bodom performed for about the same amount of time as skeletonwitch and black dahlia murder. I would've liked to see a bit more bodom and a bit less skeleton/dahlia. The setlist was truely amazing but as always you're never going to get every single song you want them to play. I love the fact they played old and new songs. I loved the glasshouse. Really comfortable place with a great crowd. However we had a few stubborn fellas in front of us but security took care of them. YOU MUST SEE BODOM LIVE ATLEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE! I'M PROBABLY GOING TO TRY TO CATCH 'EM AGAIN! And if theres other bands you like playing at the glasshouse DO NOT MISS IT! The place is great.

So the venue was insane: small, high energy, and no matter where you were, you had a good view of the stage. Black Dahlia Murder were sick! They had the crowd goin nuts. Then came Children of Bodom, and they proved why they were headlining: simply put, insane! The bands were sick, the pit was nuts, and overall, I had a great night. The only thing I didn't like was how long it took to get inside. I completely missed Skeleton Witch. A side note though, there's a bar right next door, so go to it. Its chill, you can see how the line is, the bartenders are hot, and my friends and I got to take shots with Trevor of Black Dahlia.

I liked skeletonwitch even though i never heard them before that night they were still pretty damn good. The Black Dahlia Murder simply trampled over the other bands do to their amazing songs and towering conviction, there never can and never will be another like the black dahlia murder. cofb rocked as usual alex was a little off with his solos idk maybe he had a bad night but still was amazing.

I was frothing at the mouth to get in the door at this show, because two of my favorite bands, Children of Bodom and The Black Dahlia Murder, were playing. I have never seen either of them live before, so I undoubtedly had the butterflies before it all started.

The two opening acts, Skeletonwitch and The Black Dahlia Murder, had some great songs, but nobody in the back of the venue was really getting into it. My wife and I were the only two showing the horns and headbanging. The lead singer from Skeletonwitch was a cool, guy, and they definitely got me interested in them, as I had never heard their music before.

The Black Dahlia Murder played a lot of their newer stuff, which I am not too familiar with. They played (I believe) 6 or 7 songs, and only one of which I recognized, Funeral Thirst. Overall though, they were good. I am still trying to figure out why their lead singer has "heartburn" tattooed on his stomach, though. Broken heart, or acid reflux?

But when Children of Bodom took the stage, the whole place blew up. They traveled over all of their albums, playing classics like "Lake Bodom", and old stand-bys like "Hate Me!" I still felt like the audience was not giving them enough energy, but we were screaming the lyrics and jumping up and down the whole time. They were even so kind to come back out and perform a 2-song encore, which was great. I will certainly remember this show for a long time

This was my first time having watched Children Of Bodom live and I have to say they were way better then I anticipated although I already had high expectations for them. In my opinion it was the best show I've been at in my life. I think the crowd and everyone their was their for Bodom, to actually listen to their music and not so much drink or smoke as most people would of done. Everyone was getting into it with their moshing.synchronized singing along, leaping, as well demanding "one more song" which triggered Bodom for a double encore with one of their best songs 'Hate Crew Deathroll'. I never saw one heckler last night when Bodom came on and I have to admit that the band Bodom were warmly welcomed by everyone as well the fans and crowd by Bodom as I feel they were glad to of been playing in the eccentric venue of The Glass House which went crazy.

I kept all my pent up energy for Children Of Bodom and once they came flying into their set me as well as everyone else went insane. I highly recommend this band to anyone who's into black, death, melodic, power and thrash metal. The first opening act being Skeleton Witch had become a new favorite of mine as of last night and Black Dahlia Murder being a crowd favorite was extremely liked by everyone. My thoughts on Bodom playing tonight on October 11th are kind of skeptical as I feel the first night had way more excitement and anticipation. I know the Bodom performance from last night will be the same but I'm sure most of the super fans of Bodom in and around the area of Pomona were all in the Glass House last night. I sincerely hope that Children Of Bodom come back to The Glass House as I feel they felt Pomona California is a place they will need to play at more often in the future.

Skeletonwitch, Austrian Death Machine, and The Black Dahlia Murder all brought their A games. Each sounded clear and crisp and was a joy to watch (this is my second time seeing skeletonwitch and 4th time seeing Black Dahlia Murder). Tear down, set up, and sound check went quickly. Then it was Bodom's turn...It took them the longest to set up out of all the bands. we then proceeded to wait almost another hour with no explanation as to why we were waiting. I highly considered leaving on several occasions. Just as I was about the leave for the night they came on. The sound quality and their level of playing was mediocre at best. They gave some piss poor excuse as to why they were late. I had seen them live previously when they were with Lamb Of God and they were decent then. This performance left a bad taste in my mouth and i left the show in the middle of their 4th or 5th song. There is no way they should ever headline and i do not intend on seeing them live in the future.

Skeletonwitch started the night off with some remarkable metal; it was the first time I've heard them play, and afterward, I bought their CD because it was that good. They needed a little bit of contrast during the solo portions of their songs; rhythm guitar was covering up a lot of the solo guitar's playing. Next was Austrian Death Machine, which was quite epic; they made the crowd laugh with their crazy Schwarzenegger antics. I don't care much for Black Dahlia Murder, so I skipped them and spent some time getting fresh air; the concert room was littered with people smoking.

Finally, it was time for Children of Bodom at around 9:15, so I went back in and waited. And waited. One hour later, Alexi finally gets on stage and the show starts. Apparently, their drummer had to go to the hospital (yet he still came back and played, which is true dedication). They had a great set list for the night; my neck is sore from all the headbanging.

Anyway, Alexi had a little more to drink than normal before a show and it affected the continuity at a few points in their songs. However, they still played amazingly well and don't regret going in the slightest.
