so, anyway, Shiny birthday was on Friday, so wish her a happy twenty fif...err...first. Twenty first birthday. Yay Shiny.
Also, just because this place seems to be running out of shit to talk about, I though I'd mention I've been to several cool concerts recently and will share my experiences.
Megadeath Gigantour: This was like several weeks ago, but whatever. It was a huge list of bands. I'll put my feeling below:
Too freakin' long, individual bands played for too short, too many bands, too many genres.
1. Bobaflex: We got there on time...by the time we got beers and realized there was a band on stage, they were already off the stage (we're talking 20 minutes of stage time). - no opinion
2. Dry Kill Logic: Not bad. No great, but not bad. I wouldn't buy and album and I wouldn't pay for a concert ticket, but I wouldn't walk out on em either. I'd give them a 75%.
3. Symphony X: Anyone remember those screechy bands from the 80s? Like King Diamond and shit? Yea, same crap. OMG, the absolute suck. We walked out and entertained ourselves near the bar. 0%
4. Life of Agony: Yea, more suck. I don't recall quite as big of a revulsion as I had toward X above, but yea, still pretty shit. Once more, we entertained ourselves by the bar. 0%
5. Fear Factory: Great band. They weren't as good live as I had hoped, but I've been a long time fan. Shiny liked em too. Nice, wonderful death metal with some industrial mixed in for good measure. I'd give them 85%.
6. The Dillinger Escape Plan: ?? I don't even remember this band.
7. Nevermore. I don't kn0ow why people like this band. The singer sounds like someone wrapped a rubber band around his nuts. Anyway, the music really wasn't all that bad, but the singer blows my ass. We spent the time in the lobby. 5%
8. Dream Theatre. OMFG, all the little posers were apparently here for this little piece of shit ass lick band. If there was a poser pussy at the concert, they loved Dream Theatre. More screechy crap, but this time for a freakin' hour. We spent the time near the bar. They probably didn't suck as bad as X, but omg it's a close call. 0%
9. Megadeth. The whole reason we went. And we weren't disappointed. An hour of the best Megadeth songs.
Some great pyro effects too. heheh. Not disappointed at all. 100%
Bonus: Since this is Dallas, the bands did a tribute to Dimebag Darrell. Vinnie was out there, as well as all the singers from the bands. Really really good. I must say that this song made up for all the time I had to spend at the bar.
Hope it was a fun birthday.
That's what, the big 3?
