Been to Heaven and Hell, and I have fuck all to show for it

Except photos!.... and t-shirt. I apologize for the general crappiness of this post. I'm not good at this crap. Oh and for the mediocre level of the photos. Section 112 Seat 13 ! I jest, not bad seats, better than being in general admission. Stupid morons, I like to sit.



MegadethSo to make a long story short, I did not enjoy the opening band Down, so I shall spend little time talking about them. Like Alex said at time, we could barely understand what they were singing about. I use the term singing loosely in this context. So yeah... two thumbs down for you know Down.

Megadeth on the other hand, I enjoyed. The transition time between Megadeth and Down was surprisingly short, so short in fact that the people we came to the concert with were not back from buying swag by the time they hit the stage... 20-25 minutes max. They came a running as soon as the blistering riffs began. Don't ask me for a set list because I'll be damned if I know what they played aside from "Peace Sells but Who's Buying". Pitiful I know, but don't hate me because I'm metalhead sheltered. The only complaint I have would be that their set was heart-crushingly short. They deserved a little more time to regale me with guitar riffs and showmanship. Kudos Megadeth, kudos.



Black Sabbath avec Dio
I'll admit readily that I know little to anything about Black Sabbath, but this opportunity was not to be abandoned. Just like when I refused to pass up seeing Buddy Guy 4th row center. That's right.... I have no idea where I am going with this. So I'm of the belief that if you have an opportunity to see a legend you must, even if you've never really listened to them. So Black Sabbathing I a went. Let's just say I was impressed. Impressed by Dio's ever receding hairline, impressed by the drum solo, impressed by the fact that I didn't bitch-slap the 50 man on my left who kept giving me a weird look then looking down my top. I could have sworn he and his buddy were into something kinky because they kept touching all throughout the concert, after the one sat in one of our seats. I had a fun time. The music actually got to me, greater appreciation for early metal. To the beginning I say.

So in conclusion: HEAVEN AND HELL ROCKED by tan Sketchers.
