It's been some time since I've been to a concert. Thursday I went to see Korn at Rexall. It was just what the doctor ordered. Angry music played at high volume, surrounded by others of my kind, therapy of the highest calibre. I must admit that I was more impressed with Hellyeah than Korn or Droid, mostly due to song choices. The first time I saw Korn they played all of the right songs for a concert setting, this time there were some odd choices.
Hellyeah is the supergroup that everyone claimed Velvet Revolver was supposed to be. Comprised of members of Pantera, Mudvayne, Damage Plan and Nothingface, they were nothing short of amazing. Alcohaulin' Ass is a song that I'm sure any of you reading this could learn to love (well maybe not everyone, but I'm sure Cory would like it).
The title of the post is borrowed from a family member of mine. He uses it to describe the Heavy Metal that I listen to. I've decided that although he means it in a derogatory way, I see it as a fairly accurate description and I'm not offended by it. Fuck, all you had to do was take a look at the crowd Thursday and you'd know what I'm talking about.
The end result of Thursday's shenanigans was to bring me closer to center, forget the work shit for a few hours and spend some time with friends rockin' out. I can't wait till Oct. 22 when Ozzy and Rob Zombie take to the stage, it's going to be something else.
Peace.
