Offspring


Well they let us in at 4:00pm and they gave us
 about 5 minutes to get
a seat and then Nonpoint hit the stage!!!
 This was the second time I
have seen them. The first time I saw them,
 was with Mudvayne and I had
no clue who these people were. But anyway....... 
They came out screaming
their guitars and making pure metal bliss. 
It was wonderful. They were much
better this time than the time before. This time
 I took pictures. :)
But last time they seemed to play longer. 
Oh well. They were still great.
Mosh pit rading: Great

Well next up after a short intermishion was
 Sysamatic(I know I am spelling
it wrong). This was my first time seeing them.
 Before seeing them
I had only heard one other song on the radio. 
I hated the song but I
decided to give them a chance. They were okay. I
 mean nothing like Nonpoint
they were metal.  Just not hard enough. They 
played a good show over all
I must say.
Pit rating:Good

After that was a band that surprized me 
greatly. 
The band was Hed P.E.
I had heard little about the band and only
 heard one song on the radio.
But what they came out with was mind blowing. They had their d.j. dude
skatebording across the stage, throwing his turn tables around and getting
really drunk. It was awsome. They were funny, intertaining, and 100%
metal. I am planing to go out and buy their cd soon. They are a great
band I highly recomend seeing them if you ever get a chance.
Pit rating: Great

Next was a band I am not going to waste too much space on. They were 
Clutch. I hated them. Thats all I have to say.
Pit rating:CRAP!
Okay now on to the last tow good bands.


next up was Stabbing westward. Awsome band. Awsome live. Just plan around
good. They played old stuff  like "what do I have to do", New stuff
like "so far away" and stuff we haven't heard yet. They didn't play too
long but for the time they did it was worth every second of my time.
Pit Rating: Mind Blowing, Amazing


Now best for last. OFFSPRING!!! "And it feels like heaven's sliped away"
New stuff, old stuff, you name it!!!!! The kids aren't all right, get a job,
selfestemm, want you bad, and many many more were played. It was great.
The band took a break in the middle of the set. So durring that Time,
A fat man in a cap and a thong came out and directed us in the intermishion
as they called it. It was funny as hell. Then about two songs later they
spayed  us with the fire hose. MAn that felt good. It was SO hot. Then after
they were to end the show they came back and did 3 more songs. Man
I haven't had this much fun at a concert in a long, long time. I must 
say, they were great!!!
Pit rating: Off the charts!!!
