did i ROCK OUT!!!
oh man, my neck is still hella sore & stuff, but i don’t give a fuck. last night’s show fucking kicked ass!!! it was one of the best staind sets i’ve seen so far. unfortunately it was only the third i’ve seen, but damnit, my career as a professional groupie just hasn’t taken off like i’d like it to. then again, i think i’d much rather be a roadie than a groupie, you get to do much cooler stuff.
good god damn i love concerts, seriously…just…music is my crack. and it is a damned shame the midget wasn’t here for this one, cuz she totally would’ve loved it. (see? awesome shit happens here. fucking visit, you wench!) but really, i don’t mind going to concerts all by myself, i rock out just as hard either way. i saw common & institute all by myself and those were such awesome shows, just like this one! of course, it’s always pretty rad to share the experience with someone else — especially if they love the music as much as you do. but either way, i had so much fun! so much rocking out! oh god, it was fucking so awesome i won’t be over it for weeks (which, should just about hold me over until etta james).
what’s more is, they played like all of my favorite songs last night, from their early stuff to songs right off of Chapter V. that was the best. and there were a few covers/solos that were just too hardcore. and thus…
- the setlist of awesomness:
- falling
- crawl
- so far away
- blow away
- fade
- suffer
- paper jesus
- devil
- black (pearl jam) aaron solo
- for you
- waste
- king of all excuses
- everything changes
- outside
- right here
- this love ( pantera cover )
- its been awhile
- mudshovel
(the order is *almost* right, i think…maybe one off, but it did end with mudshovel…weee!)
it was such a fucking kick ass show. and i think i ended up leaving the midget the longest fucking voicemail ever for “it’s been awhile”. heh. but shit like that must be shared!!!! of course, there were the annoying teeny-wenches that were trying to steal my seat; but i’m sorry, you do NOT fucking interfere with my staind love or i will fucking jack you up. seriously. and it was so rainy all day that i had my umbrella with me, and that totally doubles as a weapon. of course, stupid hos left about 3 songs into it, but they totally didn’t know any better. and they were trying to squeeze all three of themselves into one seat (that probably wasn’t theirs either), so whatevs.
also, it was a coldish night, but the rain stopped when their set started and all that rocking out made the cold totally not a factor. in fact, the chill was kind of nice in between songs. a chance to catch your breath, cool off a bit & get ready for the next one.
one of the neatest parts towards the end was, they had dimebag darrell’s old tech — who is now aaron’s tech — come out and play with the band, while mike played on dimebag’s guitar and they rocked out so hard to ‘this love’. it was, by far, one of the most awesome moments of the show, seriously. RIP dimebag, yo. at the end of it, mike rocked the ever-livin’ fuck out of a guitar solo on dimebag’s piece. it was so mind-blowing.
the only “downside” of the show, would have to be towards the end, after the ‘black’ solo i think, when everyone in the crowd started chanting something really loud & incoherent. and i couldn’t fucking figure it out, cuz it didn’t sound like a song name, and it wasn’t ‘aaron’ or ‘staind’ or anything band-relevant. it was only after they did it a second time that i realized what the crowd was shouting out. mutherfucking “yankees suck”….i shit you not.
how fucking lame ass is that?
and it’s not the first time i’ve been to a concert where the god damned retard boston crowd starts chanting about the yankees and their suckage. they even do it when it’s not baseball season! it’s so…god it’s fucking lame. granted, staind is massachussetts-based so they can (in theory) understand, but this is the 3rd or 4th show i’ve been too where the majority of the audience pulls this shit. and i just don’t fucking understand it. and did i mention that it’s retarded? because it is. retards!
then again, it didn’t make staind any less awesome, and as soon as the next guitar chord belted out, all the tards shut the fuck up to listen, which is a good thing.
i fucking can’t wait till they come back again!
