Live Performances

[Erin]

Erin - way, way, way jealous of the Rob Zombie and BNL. I've heard they both put on fantastic stage shows, and they're two of my favorite bands. Did you throw Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese up on stage for BNL? Also, thanks for reminding me of 30StM. I went and saw them before it was widely known that jared Leto was the lead singer. It was in a very small venue, and it still wasn't halfway filled, heh. Fun show, though.

OMG! They were both fantastic! Rob Zombie is super great. He was so engergetic, bouncing all around and drinking tons of beer.

Barnaked Ladies though was freaking incredible. They were SO much fun. At one point, they stopped singing and playing and did a choreographed dance to music with shopping carts and boxes of cereal. I had lawn seats at the outdoor ampitheatre they were playing at, so I didn't personally get to throw the mac and cheese on the stage, but a lot of people closer did. It was so cool.

[Woofer]

No contest. The best concerts I've ever attended were Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, TOOL, and A Perfect Circle.

Concrete Blonde! I totally forgot about them...I love the song "Joey".

And there's loads more which I'll list later.

Went to see Joe Satriani in 97 in Dublin. Unfortunately for me I went on beer as soon as I got to Dublin. Drinking for about 4 hours before meeting up with friends who I was staying with. They started to knock back the beer too when we finally met up and then on the way to the gig one of them pulled out a bottle of Jameson whiskey which the three of us finished off in about 30 minutes. Got into the venue which i thought was a miracle because of the drunken state I was in and then we went to the bar and had a couple more pints and whiskeys each. My friends then headed to the balcony where they had tickets for and I headed to the ground floor where I was suppose to be sitting. On the way I bought a tee shirt and that was the last thing I could remember when I woke up in the A&E in the Matter Hospital around 2am the following morning. I was hooked up to a heart monitor and my arms were black with bruises from where they had tried to take a blood sample. It appeared that I passed out at the gig and couldn't be brought round by the St John of Gods medics in the venue so I was taken by ambulance to the hospital. The doctors knew that I'd been drinking but also thought that I'd taken drugs of some kind because they couldn't get me to respond which explained why my arms were covered in bruises. When i came round the docs asked what kind of drugs I'd taken and I told them I didn't do drugs of any kind. The told me not to worry as wouldn't tell the Gardi about it. I convinced them that I didn't do drugs so next was a barrage of questions about how much I had to drink in the last 24 hours so I told them of finishing work the previous morning (I was working nights at the time) and getting the first bus to Dublin and hitting the beer big time when arriving. So you had no sleep in the last 24 hours and started binge drinking the doc said and I replied yeah thats about it. He told me the reason why they couldn't get me to come round earlier was my body had decided just to shut down due to exhaustion and when the found me I was lying on my back beneath the seats on the ground floor with my feet sticking out from under the curtains (how I ended up there is still a mystery). The doc told me i was lucky I hadn't got sick when in that position or I could've died from asphyxiation which can happen when in a such drunken state. After a few more questions the doc told me to stay in the bed just in case but if the bed was needed later Id have to go. Got out later that morning with one of the worst hangovers I'd have ever had stated to kick in. The bus journey home was absolute torture and It took me about a week before I fully came round from the affects of what happened.

"Joey" sounds infinitely better live.

And Poison was just a fun concert every time I saw them. I've been close enough to Bret I could reach out and touch him if I chose to. I'm guessing you would have.

[Erin]

Yes. Probably in naughty places too.

[fernandito]

*edit*

nvm.

[Brice]

I figured as much.

[Erin]

Yep, I don't watch Rock of Love for it's high quality programming.

[Brice]

Well, the whole band's very receptive to their fans so maybe you'll get your chance someday Erin.

Ooo Nirvana...interesting. How was that?

And I'd love to see No Doubt. I bet Gwen Stefani is great to see live.

[obscurejude]

Is Nirvana touring right now?

[Erin]

[obscurejude]

Yes Erin

I'd forgotten that I'd seen Nirvana on the Nevermind tour. Not their biggest fan. They only played for about 1 hour 20 minutes but they had 2 support bands The Breeders and Teenage Fan Club (I think). Nirvana put on a pretty good show but for me Dave Grohl was the highlight of the night. His drumming so powerful, heavy and tight.
