Maybe they sound better on their album and just suck live, IDK, but they SUCKED....The only reason I gave them a 2 instead of a big fat goose egg is because the screamers in the band were pretty good, but the music itself and the lead singer SUCKED....PURE GARBAGE.....I wish I had skipped this...nuff said
HASTE THE DAY (10)
I had never heard of these guys up until this point and I have to say I'm impressed....Their new song Madman was fucking rocking.....They were so good, I went the next day and just started downloading a bunch of their songs and they are awesome on disc and live....after only just finding out about them, even if I hadn't listened to the studio versions of these songs, had I just heard them live...I would pay to see them headline their own show....they were that good.....
SENSES FAIL (10)
What a show they put on!!!!! They tore the fucking roof off that place and lead singer James Nielsen is a fucking LUNATIC!!!!! And I fucking loved it......At one point he took a running leap into the heart of the pit.....FUCKING LUNATIC.....and his antics on stage are fucking awesome and he's funny as hell in between songs, and MOST IMPORTANTLY.....THE SONGS FUCKING ROCK!!!!! And I love that they ended their set with Can't Be Saved......I will be going to see these guys again someday.....
HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD (10)
Now for the main event.....yes Senses Fail was a headliner too, but I came for HU and plus I hadn't heard much from SF until this night....HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD.....FUCKING BLEW THE FUCKING ROOF OFF THE CITY OF FUCKING CLEVELAND!!!!!!!!!! God were they awesome!!!!! This band is the next big thing.....for the most part their music is just rock feeling beats that they rap and rock over, but every once in a while either J Dog or Charlie Scene will pick up a guitar or J Dog will head over to the keyboard and they have this guy they call Buiscuits who plays the drums for him and this guy is fucking epic....I don't understand why this guy isn't bigger or even IN THE HU BAND....I will be buying my HU ticket for Pittsburgh this weekend...(Ripper, it's at Mr. Smalls, if you want one, buy it quickly as they have sold out every show so far) The Pittsburgh show is on April 27 but the shows are selling out quickly....which goes to show just how big they are getting already.....
The songs they played.....in no particular order....
1. Undead (They opened with this....EPIC)
2. No. 5 (They played this as an Encore)
3. Everywhere I Go
4. Sell Your Soul
5. No Other Place
6.Young
7. Black Dhalia
8. Bottle And A Gun
9. California
10. City
11. The Diary
12. Pimpin
13. Pain (A bonus song that you can only get by download)
14. Dead In Ditches (Same as Pain)
15. Bitches (Same as Pain and Dead In Ditches)
Bottom line....HU AINT NUTTIN TO FUCK WIT!!!!!!!!! HU FOR LIFE!!!!!! These guys are awsome...if you aint heard em...BUY THE ALBUM.....if you haven't seen em life....GET YOUR ASS A TICKET!!!!....
Side note....I did meet every last member of HU and all of them were awesome....they are humble guys who deserve every fucking ounce of success they ever have.....their Tour Manager was an awesome guy who just started shootin the shit with us....these guys are epic.....this kind of treatment of the fans is almost unheard of in todays day and age....HU I wish you guys nothing less than the best, whatever the best may be.....I also met James Nielsen, lead singer for Senses Fail...did not get a picture with him but shot the shit with him for a couple minutes and helped him find a store to buy tobacco....great shit.....
Comments, thoughts, and questions are welcome.......
