CONCERTS!

This thread is for discussing concerts that you have been to (recently, or even not-so recently if they were significantly awesome or terrible enough).

Last night I drove with my brother and dad to Saskatoon (the source of the name of Saskatoon berries, which are like blueberries on crack. They are sooooo good) to catch the Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Zombie concert. The concert was primarily for my brother, as he is 7 years older than me (and I am old, don't forget) and was really into Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Poison, etc... when he was a lad. I tagged along because I liked Rob Zombie back in highschool.

The concert opened with a group called In The Moment, which sucked. Hard. The chick singer just screamed into the mike, the guitar guys just headbanged and jammed on their guitars and the drummer slammed away like a 3 year old on a suger high. I couldn't stop laughing it was so pathetically awful. People actually listen to that shit? And enjoy? Reminded me of angst-ridden 13 year old males lamely trying to rebel.

Rob Zombie was fucking awesome. He rocked the house. He was the highlight of the show, jamming out Living Dead Girl and Dragula and a host of other hits. He had sexy zombie girls dancing on stage and two big screens showing awesome clips to accompany his songs (with lots of naked tits. awesome.). Zombie himself was very entertaining. Lots of fire.

*sigh* Ozzy. What a big disappointment. He was out of tune, out of synch, forgetting the lyrics and listless on stage. Ozzy is fading fast - he's getting too old for this shit. He couldn't remember what city he was in. If I could, I would have walked out after his second song (Crazy Train).

Why do rockers think playing lots of fast incoherent notes on a guitar for 22mins is cool?

So, gone to any cool concerts lately?

The last concert I went to was NIN in '05. I actually went the same day the first Castlevania DS came out. Anyways, my friend Trevor is in a motorized wheelchair and we brought it with us. With that, we were able to go through the side doors and get on the show floor way earlier.

A band named Autolux opened. Nothing great to speak of. Then a popular band I don't remember played. Started with an S.

The NIN came on and it was totally awesome. I was up front in the moshpit and started getting squished. Then I see my friend in his wheelchair drive around the crowds to the side of the floor. Turns out, the crowd got so rough up where he was, they knocked him out of his wheelchair was and was getting stepped on. Some bouncers jumped in, kicked people away, put him back in his chair and then proceeded to LIFT it over the guard rail. The battery itself weighs about 300 pounds. So we hooked up at the side of the floor and enjoyed the rest of the show.

Halfway through, I went out to get a drink and couldn't hear anything. I saw a cashier talking to me and couldn't understand them, so I just handed them a $5 bill and went back in.

My friend Nate was upfront the entire show. When it was all over, he was dehydrated and shaking, so I had to drive home. That ass.
