I ONLY CAME TO SEE 2 BANDS-FEAR FACTORY AND STRAPPING YOUNG LAD.
DIDN'T CARE TOO MUCH FOR 'DARKANE' & 'SOILWORK'...
ANYWAY, SYL CRUSHED AS USUAL!! DEVIN BEING THE MADMAN THAT HE IS, DIDN'T DISAPPOINT ONE BIT!! AND AS USUAL, GENE 'THE MACHINE' HOGLAN WAS BRUTAL AS SHIT TOO!! GLAD TO HEAR HE'S BEEN SOBER FOR A YEAR NOW! I REMEMBER WALKING INTO THE COUNTRY CLUB IN RESEDA TO SEE NAPALM DEATH (A MANY YEARS AGO!!) AND FOUND GENE DRUNK ON THE FLOOR!! ME AND A COUPLE OF BUDS OF MINE, HELPED HIM UP, BACK TO HIS CAR!! CAN YOU IMAGINE CARRYING THAT MUCH DRUNK WEIGHT 50 FEET? ANYWAY, CONGRATS GENE, LOVE YA BRO! STRAPPING SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEFORE F.F., NOT 2ND OF 4 BANDS...BUT WITH BYRON PULLING DOUBLE DUTIES ON THE BASS WITH BOTH SYL AND F.F., I CAN SEE WHY. (PLAYING THAT TYPE OF MUSIC, YOU GOTTA GET A BREAK IN BETWEEN!!)
RAN INTO SOME OLD FRIENDS AT THE SHOW, GOOD TO SEE THEM AFTER 8 OR SO YEARS.
FEAR FACTORY WAS THE HEADLINER, AND DIDN'T DISAPPOINT ONE BIT!! THEY ARE ALWAYS GREAT LIVE, AND BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN! I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE 'DEMANUFACTURE' TRACKS THEY TREATED THE CROWD WITH! TOO BAD I HAD TO LEAVE A LITTLE EARLY BECAUSE I START WORK AT 6AM AND WAS DRAGGING ASS THE NEXT MORNING!! MAN!!
MY GIRL AND I HAVE TICKETS FOR THE 2ND SOCIAL DISTORTION SHOW DECEMBER 22nd. HOPEFULLY, I CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TAKE THAT FRIDAY OFF BEFORE THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!
