some random thoughts on Anthrax/Dio...

. Dio, youve made shit tons of money, stop with the no picture requirement at shows. really. and dont have them try to steal my camera as i come in the door. thats just lame.

. its sad when 25 dollar concert tshirts are the cheapest prices youve seen in a few years. however, when stores charge the same price, for non concert shirts, im gladly stuffing my cash in the hand of the 'Thrax.

. security guards who are cool to you are the shit... security guards that are cruel to you are shit. yeah fatboy, i came back, and yeah you got too close to me and the rail during Deathrider

. band members that appearantly have something better to do sunday nights, 2000 miles away from civilization as they know it, are full of crap. those band memeber cool enough to go to a bar later on have forever made my coollist.. even if they drop a crapbomb as a next album.

. charlie runs fast. so fast that he evaded most of the crowd. and me from getting my freakin autograph. however, scotty ian took every devil horn i threw at him jumping around on the rail. rob too, he just gave me a silent "fuck yeah", as ian just tried playing chords with devil horns back for our mob on the rail. very fucking cool.

. john bush is getting close to being a god. even not withstanding the 'fat man that knows every lyrics' comment, youre still the shit pal.

. running around the pit, taking out old Dio Farts, to the tune of 'Thrax's Caught In A Mosh; is fun.

. hearing songs you havent heard in 5 years, live, is a nifty surprise.. 'Thrax rules for those presents like Antisocial. Deathrider!!!! What Can Not Die. and Ronnie Dio... holy shit. Sign of The Southern Cross. AND Heaven and Hell. not to mention Stargazer, Gates of Babylon. aaaaaand Man On The Silver Mountain. nice work.

. faggot kids pushing me trying to power bounce to Dio were lucky they didnt die. if mommy wasnt wearing leather pants i might have dragged your Hershey-filled asses to the pit with the real men.

. well... any fucking kids trying to mosh or power bounce to Dio is just wrong, now that i think about it.

. Goldy. stop with the gay-porn faces while making guitar solos. its creepy. beyond creepy. and rudy... man no one came to see you. diddo on the drum solo for 8 minutes. yes, i looked at my watched several times during it.

. going all out for Anthrax's hour long power set, then 2 freakin hours of Dio. then waaay too long at the bar, plus the 3 hour drive home [by myself], really isnt good when you work less than 2 hours after you get home. any customers in those first 4 hours or so, i appologize.

some random pictures that i took AFTER the concert was over, and later on. enjoy.
