After the CD signing, I got something to eat.. even though I was not hungry. At all. I was too excited to eat, and still too shocked from meeting Mudvayne. Right after I ate, I left for the show. I got to the arena, walked inside, and I heard music playing already; a local band opening the whole show. They were about over by the time I got there. I went to get my wristband for going down to the floor, and when I got down there, I met up with Ty.
I was getting anxious, and about 15 minutes later, Bury Your Dead came onto the stage.
I had heard of them before the show, but I wasn't really familiar with their music. They were awesome! I enjoyed seeing them. It was music that I liked. Kind of hardcore, but not as much screaming as you usually hear in hardcore music.
After they played, Suicide Silence was next.
I didn't like them so much. Not the kind of music I generally like; pig-squeal vocals aren't my thing, ha ha! They just kind of sounded like noise to me.
Then, after them was a band I've wanted to see for awhile; Static-X!
The mosh pit was intense! They were incredible live, and I'd love to see them again. They had an awesome set list.
It felt like forever until they played, but it was worth the wait!
They put on an incredible show. Amazing stage presence. Plus, Wayne Static was pretty hot.. as usual. Him and his crazy hair!
After Static-X, I had to go get water because of how much moshing I did. A regular sized water bottle was $3.. ridiculous.. but I was too thirsty to care.
Black Label Society was up next, with the legendary Zakk Wylde!
I've never been a huge BLS fan, but they played a great show. Maybe if Zakk's voice didn't sound like an eighties hair band singer, I might have liked them more.
Nonetheless, they sounded pretty good. Zakk Wylde even played a five minute solo, which was really cool.
Well, they saved the best for last.. As soon as Black Label Society got off the stage, my heart started to race. I told myself I'd see them again, so there I was..
There I was seeing Mudvayne again!
The crowd was freaking out, and they kept chanting "Mudvayne! Mudvayne! Mudvayne!" so of course I joined them all. The crowd was so restless that there was moshing and fighting before they even came out onto the stage!
Ten minutes passed.. then all of a sudden, the whole place goes dark, and the intro to the L.D. 50 Cd was playing in the background.. Then the moment I was waiting for finally came! Out came Mudvayne!!
Instant grin on my face. I couldn't contain it. If I remember correctly, I think they opened with "Not Falling." The moshing started instantly. Chad walked out in his gorilla suit. Later he took it off though.
So much adrenaline was pumping through me, I turned into a crazy woman, and moshed like an animal.
The whole band destroyed! Ryan's bass playing was fu**ing incredible, just like last time. Greg's guitar playing was awesome, just like last time. Matt's drumming was amazing, just like last time. And Chad's vocals and stage presence were crazy, just like last time.
The played an awesome show. Great set list. Chad at one point said something like, "It's fu**ing great to see you all moving out there.. that makes us HAPPY!!!" and they started playing "Happy?"
And of course, like last time, he said something like, "I have one question to ask you all.. CAN! YOU! DIG IT! I can't hear you! I said, CAN! YOU! DIG IT!" and after the "intro," they played one of my personal favorites, "Dig."
Also like last time, "Dig" had the craziest mosh pit. It was righteous! I tired as much as possible to get as many pictures as I could of the show, but it was hard. Especially during Mudvayne. But, I'm glad I got a few.. not all my pictures are shown in this blog, but there are a good handful of them.
I'm blessed with a camera phone, ha ha!
This is my favorite, because Ryan, Greg, and Chad are all glowing blue.
So, I had an amazing day. I wish I could put life on repeat, just on that day.
Life in a mosh, is the life indeed..
