Concert Mania- Ozzie Osbourne & Rob Zombie {doubleheader}
Wow. I knew it would be a great concert, I didn't know it would be insane, and more than I ever would have expected.
Rob Zombie tore it up. The set, the music, the stage presence, and audience energy were awesome. I was going to buy "top of the line" seats. Too much, I figued for the price of ONE of thos etickets, I could get three of my friends to the show. We made it a boys night out.
Got a hotel room a few blocks from the Key Arena, Dan and I stayed there, while the other two yahoos showed up and we killed a fifth of Irish whiskey, then ate soem Dick's Deluxe burgers. Messed with the Jesus people, and delighted in the fact we coudl go to the bar and get beers. No drinks on the floor, but we snuck 'em on easy enough.
Lots of flames, great music, super sexy zombie crazy shit. Oh Yeah.
T-shirt lines too line, too overpriced, and you can get 'em online. Not that great of quality either. I wouldnt' put them over 4 year lifespan at best. I'm STILL wearing my pink floyd and ac/dc from over a decade ago, in good shape.
Everyoen kept saying "Rob was better than Ozzie" How the fuck can you even compare? There isnt' a comparison. Two totally different genres, and things going, it's like comparing the Bee Gees and Johnny Cash. Can't do it.
Ozzie was awesome, great stage presence, he wasn't rambling, he was ON, with all his songs, and even throwing buckets of water into the crowd at the end. Zach on the other hand seemed a bit fuckered up, and tore up the guitar. I'd say he surpassed Randy Rhodes that night. His solo that eased thru Eddy Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, several Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden rifts, then back into some wild axeman starbursts explosion I didn't even recognize...just wow. Only thing that woulda made the concert better woulda been some hot betties to there and back to the hotel after with us.
Some MESSED up A-hole in the bar during one of the breaks was tryign to start a fight, got pushed away, and came wildly swinging at me, I told him, "Wrong place and time for this dude, it's about the musicnow! knock it the fuck off." So he staggered and came swinging...I set myself and was bringing an elbow up towards his throat with my wild assed friend rushed in out of nowhere, and pulled the dude and his psycho bitch girlfriend that was egging him on into fighting and "kick everyones ass!" out of the way. Wow.
I couldnt' talk for a few days after form the screaming, and all that. We hit an after concert bar, once Seattles best dive, hung there a bit, and figured the RockNRoll babies were too much work and effort, and we wouldn't have been "dressed right" so it was definitely not worth the effort.
It was a great night unti lwe woke up to the closed in hotel room and having to smell Dan's ass busting out the Dicks burgers. Gag. So frickin' gross, then I started busting ass. No wonder I dont' eat fast food anymore...we were making eachother damn near puke from the turtles crawliing out our asses.
anyways, way cool concert, had me thinking of trying to get tickets elsewhere, and going to see them, some place like SLC or North Dakota, or Iowa outta the way and kinda small, could be lots of fun like that.
Next three concerts are Korn, (tonight I've got the kids though) Evanesence, sold out on a weeknight, then Tool at the Everett Events Center, on a Monday and so very sold out. I think I'll stick to bands with a stage presence.
Not sure, maybe I can get a cheap seat fro Van Halen when they come thru...Hmmmmmmm. Maybe. they are getting kinda pricey and I might have the kids or something else going on that weekend. Definitely not a date. *snork*
This was fun, and I look forward to more bands like this, though I'm thinking concert seasons arent' what they used to be?
