The Energon Pub

So last night, to take my mind off all the **** going on in my life my friend took me to see Lizzy Borden, Lordi, and a band called Stolen Babies. Before the show I gave the Stolen Babies a listen, I wasn't to impressed. But live they were FANTASTIC. When Lizzy took the stage I almost passed out from excitement. It was surreal actually seeing him in person. He got down in the little pit between the stage and floor and got on the guard rail right in front of me and was singing. it was so cool. His guitar player was so insane.

After Lizzy's insane stage show I was kind of leery to see if Lordi could come anywhere near the amazingness of Lizzy **** Borden. Sure enough, they came pretty damn close. Amen, Lordi's guitar player, was as insane as Lizzy's guitar player but did the Angus Young strut thing across the stage. Its amazing seeing a guy in a costume move around like that. He threw his first pick into the crow and it landed on my friends shoe. I was really bummed because the girl next to me kept swatting the picks away from us. It was so annoying. The last song of their set was Hard Rock Hallelujah. After the last note of the song was played Amen in one fluid movement went from playing to throwing the pick into the crowd. I swear it was like a moment in a movie. When I looked up it was like slow motion and the lights dimmed around it. It landed in the palm of my hand and in my head a choir of angels began to sing

At least it was like that in my head, but it was like one of those "fateful" moments that makes you forget about all the bullshit thats in your life and just appreciate things you don't normally think about.

I've had other awesome and meaningful moments at concerts, but this was the latest and was really special.

Anyone else have any?

I smoked a joint with Drowning Pool once, that was cool.

I got to meet Weird Al backstage when he had a concert in Michigan. That was awesome.

Was it Drowning Pool with Dave, Jason or Ryan? I didn't think Ryan did that stuff. But Dave and Jason I could see.

That would RULE! He is so talented

It was Jason, but he didn't partake. Jason was actually a real asshole. All of the other members hung out and talked with me, (it was CJ's pot) and signed some autographs for me. Jason just completely ignored us. Even though it still made my 20'th birthday the best ever.

Jason sucked anyway.

Dave and Ryan are the only Drowning Pool singers I acknowledge

I second that, although Step up and Killing Me were great songs.

He tried to sound like a knock off of Ryan, I can't support him

Something that really touched both me and my my mom was at a Pearl Jam concert this summer. Eddy Vedder sang a song called "No More" which was a call for no more war. The man really threw his heart into the song, and it really touched me. There was also a good joke about how the band was playing in the home of the "Cocks" (it was the basketball court at the University of South Carolina, home of the Gamecocks) and how he felt right at home.
