Last weekend I stayed away and I missed a bunch of shows, and this weekend I wish I would of stayed away and missed a bunch of shows! LOL I was disgusted as fuck at the Ozzy Osbourne gig on Friday, which left me with no want to see the Toasters @ the Bunkhouse afterwords, so me and my compadres from out of town went to the Beauty Bar, where I received a huge slice of chick Drama that I wanted nothing to do with, so I bid them Adieu and called it a night. The next day they told me they won $2300 shooting craps. Phooey. Sat. was all about Motörhead but gawd damn, those opening bands Valient Thorr and Clutch were just horrible! LOL Is that what's considered good nowadays? When did Saxon and Diamond Head become cool? Jeesh! LOL Motörhead did nothing to save the day with a boring, run through the numbers set of mostly new stuff, which was good, because they couldn't play the old stuff worth a shit. Embarrassing, to say the least. Man, I should of stayed at home. Thanks to Scott for the hook up on the tickets for both gigs, and for reintroducing me to Blasko, who I used to know when he played with Cryptic Slaughter back in the day. :-)
Sundays without football are going to take some getting used to. I tried to compensate for it by watching the NHL All Star game, but with the score like 194-130 in the first period, I just kind of gave up on watching it. No point really. I watch Hockey for the intensity of the game, the duel on ice, not to see a bunch of rich guys who are just out there to pad their stats and not give a fuck about winning. If I wanted to see that, I'd watch a basketball game. SNAPS! I could give a shit less who wins the Super Bowl on Sunday - I'm just hoping it's an interesting game, and praying that I don't end up passed out in the front seat of my car again drenched in my own vomit... heh heh heh
An ex-girlfriend of mine called me yesterday and told me in a very dramatic tone that she was leaving town soon. She's moving up north to get married and become a breeder. I haven't seen her in years, and I told her that, and then after a bit of chit chat I asked her why she felt so compelled to tell me that she was leaving town, and of course she couldn't give me a reason, and it got me to thinking - are these girls crazy BEFORE they're with me, or is it being with me that makes them crazy? hahahaha Oh well. I wished her the best and that was that. Funny how shit works out. People that you think are 'The One' that turn out not to be, leaving you back at Ground Zero where the search begins again. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, don't ya? If you don't, it must be nice. Fuck off. Everything's updated, yada yada yada. I found my Xbox finally, so I'm off to try and finish Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, since none of my fellow gamer Nephews can help me with it... Losers! hahaahaha
Hahahahahahahaha So Feelgood's is now known as Vamp'd? WTF? So now I guess it's only owned by Count Cool Rider? Spoooooooky! I guess Vince Neil needed to free up some cash to take care of his loss of income during his upcoming jail stint? hee hee hee How does that jackass get away with what he does? Incredible, to say the least. Anyways, at Vamp'd there's lots of Punk and Metal gigs now lined up, which is always the sign of a club hitting hard times. I think the same thing is happening @ The Black Door, Dave Navarro's bad idea directly next to the Double Down. When those type of bands are allowed in a venue, things are not going good. :-) Anyways, Feelgood's is now Vamp'd. Who knows what The Black Door is going to end up being called. Maybe the Coke Store? ;-)
I think this is the last of the video footage from the Aluminum Falcon gig on the 16th @ the LVCS. It's for the last song we played called Battlelines. Special Thanks to N.J. Pete for filming it.
So who's going to the Big 4 concert in Indio, CA.? Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax? If you are I'd like to slap you in the face. Big Raul, I'm looking in your direction. ;-) Hahahaha I saw that same line up back in what, 1991, at Irvine Meadows. Alice In Chains opened. Wasn't that good then, I doubt it will be that good 20 years later. And speaking of 20 years later, Guns And Roses will be eligible for the Rock And Roll Crock of Shame next year. Man I feel old.
Lots and lots of shit going on this weekend, of course, like the Toasters gig @ the Bunkhouse, the almighty Motörhead @ the HOB, TheCore and I Am The Thief @ Meatheads, Three Rounds @ LVCS, and some other gigs I'm totally not remembering right now. It's all on the Gig Calendar. Look it up yourself ya lazy bastards. I'm getting ready for the Sharks / Kings game tonight, so things are a bit fuzzy green right now, but I'm taking all bets and collecting all debts from all you suckaaaaah Kings fans! Your 2 game winning streak ends tonight! hahahaha Everything is updated - old stuff just keeps getting added, and new stuff just keeps getting ignored. In other words, everything is normal around these parts. Strange, right? See you at the gigs!
