I saw them last Sunday. For the longuest time I wanted to in fact. Years of waiting for them to finally come to my town.
Having said that ...
BEST. SHOW. EVER!
Only few people showed up (apparently, it happens alot on this tour. What the fuck is wrong with people?) but having so few people there it felt like
a private show in my basement or something. The fact that midway
trough, they got off the stage and played for us on the floor not
2 feet from me that just fuckin' blew my mind!
Loud as hell but the good kind of loud. Awesome guitar tones
and sounds. They played almost everything I wanted from FOTB.
Even got to talk to Jon and Ken afterwards. Nice gents. I never talk to my favorite musicians as i never know what to say so that was a big thing for me.
