Previous Shows!!

ROKHEDZ spent Halloween weekend 2004 absorbing some of the heaviest riffs on the planet. It was like a mini-fest of murderous guitar mayhem.
It started on Thursday night at The Warfield, in San Francisco with Exodus pounding out the Bay Area Thrash for the hometown crowd.  We we're honored to have Chuck Billy (Testament) fill in for Steev Esquivel (Skinlab/Re-Ignition/Exodus). Steev suffered from eye irritation that caused his eyes to swell. He was advised by doctors not to perform. He came out anyway! Steev and Chuck belted it out for a few songs to wrap up the set. It was an amazing evening...
Megadeath hit the stage and proceeded to bring us the Dave Mustaine driven chops we all know and love. Megadeath made monsterous guitar riffs to pit by... Dave and the fellas gave us a real treat, it was good to taste Megadeath again!! Go check em out when they come to your town. Friday night ROKHEDZ returned to the scene of the crime for a second day of pummeling. Children of Bodom opened the show. They aroused the metal hungry crowd with spooky leads and pounding double bass. Fear Factory played to kill!! The bass and drums, guitar and vocals together added up to a symphony of volume. Byron helped to dislodge the cares of the day by vibrating every nerve loose.
Lamb of God finished us off with their holy sacrifice.
They drove the metal deep with speed and precision.
They ran about the stage possessed, obsessed by the spell that is Metal!!! Thanks for the fun everyone the Bay Area still kicks ass!! Stay tuned for more...

Static-X w/ Soil

Wayne takes a break to ask for another shot of something in a glass before they ripped up the next heavy goove based tune. 

Trip works over his axe to create sounds fit for a technophile...

Soil pummeled us with their own brand of American Made Metal. Heavy stuff straight from Chicago. 

Ryan gave us something to remember..

Blistering licks made the crowd squirm with excitement. It was a great night of killer music at the Fillmore in San Francisco. ROKHEDZ will be there for the next one...

Max of Soulfly pummeled the Fillmore  in San Francisco, CA. with punishing, throbbing Brazilian based tribal tempos, fused with Pure Metal. 

Soulfly knows how to create a frenzy! 

It was great to see the floor come alive with every drum beat! The pit was alive and well in SF!  

Ill Niño started off our night at the Fillmore. The fellas brought their own brand of Latin flavored metal. 

Songs in both Spanish and English flow from a diverse mix of melodies and hooks. Killer stuff fellas!
