LAMB OF GOD Plays First-Ever Show In China; Video Footage, Photos Available

April 13, 2010

Richmond, Virginia metallers LAMB OF GOD played their first-ever show in China on Sunday, April 11 at Star Live in Beijing.

Video footage of the concert can be viewed below.

A review of the gig, including photos, are available at Beijing Daze.

LAMB OF GOD will play another show at Star Live tonight (Tuesday, April 13).

According to LAMB OF GOD's China tour organizer, Guitar China's Jiang Wei, the tour took three months to plan for and prepare.

"Our Taiwan counterparts gave LAMB OF GOD's Asian tour plans to us," Jiang told Global Times. "They are very happy to be making a stop in China."

LAMB OF GOD had originally planned to play shows in both Beijing and Shanghai, but the band was unable to secure a proper performing license.

"There was nothing we could do about the cancelled Shanghai show, so we added one more date in Beijing," said Jiang. "It was a tragedy that we're letting LAMB OF GOD fans in Shanghai down."

Jiang admitted that he is still worried about being able to recoup his losses from organizing the band's two Beijing shows. Jiang said he has spent years organizing shows for foreign performers, but has been losing money for just as long.

"Each show will sell around 500 tickets at most," he said. "I don't dare talk about earning money in a situation like this, but I'm just making sure I can make ends meet."

"I don't regret asking LAMB OF GOD to come to China," Jiang added. "Losing money or not is not something I can decide on. [LAMB OF GOD] is really, truly great, and least they are being able to bring their great rock spirts and experiences here."

LAMB OF GOD said that although they will be playing two shows at the same venue, the setlists for the two nights will be completely different.

"Only several classics will be the same, but the rest will be completely different," said Jiang.
