G.I. JOE: Cold Slither Live Concert review
Cold Slither stormed into New York Comic Con with a metal-fueled, nostalgia-soaked concert experience that turned The Gramercy Theater into a full-blown Cobra takeover. Back by popular demand, the fictional band from the 1985 G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero animated series delivered a live show that blended heavy riffs, chaotic theatrics, and pure ’80s attitude — and it absolutely rocked.
In this review, we break down the concert’s biggest moments, including Cold Slither’s first-ever live performance of their new track “Cobra Island”, the crowd energy, the metal mayhem led by Zartan and the Dreadnoks, and the exclusive NYCC-only merch that fans lined up for. From shredding guitars to over-the-top villain vibes, this was a show that exceeded expectations and lived up to decades of fan hype.
About the Event
Presented by Hasbro and Reigning Phoenix Music, the Cold Slither concert was a 16+ event held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at The Gramercy Theater in New York City.
Attendees were treated to:
The band’s East Coast debut
The first 100 fans receiving a special Cold Slither giveaway
Limited-edition, show-only merchandise (exclusive tees, poster, LPs, CDs, pins & more)
A high-energy set inspired by their animated origins
A celebration of everything metal, G.I. JOE, and unapologetically over-the-top
The show follows their explosive debut at San Diego Comic-Con, which featured a surprise appearance by Britta Phillips — the original singing voice of Jem from Jem and the Holograms.
Cold Slither’s reimagined live presence proves that some fictional bands are too iconic NOT to bring into the real world.
