Can I Play with Madness

In the past 5 days I have been to 3 concerts.

Wednesday = Iron Maiden - Hands down the best show I've seen in terms of pure spectacle. Oh you say you've seen Bruce Springsteen live and he was really good? Did he have a 50 foot mummy that hatched from a King Tut head only to shoot fireworks out of his eyes? go to hell
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday = Mindless Self-Indulgence - hmmm...I guess these guys would be goth metal punk? I took Tab to this because they are one of her favorites. Crazy fun show with the band members doing back bends while playing guitar and jumping off the drum set. I was exhausted just watching them. The crowd was a mix of crazies, I could have people watched all day.

Sunday = The Swell Season - This was the 2 adorable foreigners from the movie 'Once', Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Jorin came along to this show and kept trying to show me the Chilled Monkey Brains mini-game in the new LEGO Indiana Jones for DS, but the opening act was interrupting us. It was at the Chicago Theater and we had kick ass 3rd row seats in the orchestra pit. There was even a little velvet rope around our section with a private attendee to keep away all worthless scum that would inevitably try and sneak up to the front. The best moment of the night came when Glen was telling a story and his eyes locked on Jorin's Iron Maiden t-shirt (which he purchased at the Wednesday concert) and he made a face that was either delight or disgust, we couldn't quite tell.



Oh! and tonight I'm going to see the cartoon metal band Dethklok.

let it never be said that I don't have diverse taste in music
