October 2, 200710 Fantasty Guys/Girls-Celeb CrushesI was tagged by Raquel23 and Distilla Rules: 1- You post your top 10 fantasy guys/girls. In order from 10-1 (1 being Biggest Crush) 10.) Rachel McAdams-I love how she doesn't have that fake look like most of the girls do in Hollywood, plus she seems very down to earth.
9.) Charlize Theron-She starred in the only movie that has really changed my life (North Country). It had such an impact on me that I immediately made copies for all of the girls that I work with because it's just one of those films that every woman should see. Plus, she makes Keanu Reeves look like a decent actor, now that's amazing ;)
8.) Simon Pegg/Nick Frost-Can't pick one, have to take them both, two of the funniest bastards on the planet.
7.) Christina Scabbia-Can hold her own in a genre that is strictly ruled by men, plus she's breathtakingly beautiful.
6.) Matthew Bellamy-Head of one of the most incredible live bands EVER, I never knew someone could play guitar like that.
5.) Jesse Hasek-One of the most beautiful male vocals I've ever heard, loved his band in one minute of watching their set at Family Values tour.
4.) Shavo Odadjian-My favorite bass player, saw SOAD for the first time at Ozzfest 06, amazed that Shavo came over to our side of the stage 7 or 8 times, when other bands just merely glanced over at us. His interaction with the crowd and fans is what makes him incredible.
3.) Jamie Pressley-Her perfection of playing the trailer park trash character finally won her an Emmy for her role on My Name is Earl, I always loved her constant sarcasm :)
2.) Ville Valo-What can I say, he invented a new genre of music, plus listening to HIM made me really appreciate music for the first time and its the first band that I have been a dedicated fan to.
1.) Chino Moreno-His music has changed my life, Deftones and Team Sleep, I couldn't imagine my life without his music.

September 9, 2007My 2 tag entries (8 Random Things About Me and 10 Celebrity Crushes)
First is 8 random things about me (I liked how Raquel23 used pictures so I'm going to do the same) -tagged by Raquel23, FadeIntoYou, LuvMetlChika, RULES: I am addicted to spa treatments ever since going to my first spa back in July, so far I've had an elemental facial (to get rid of impurities due to smog, pollution, etc), a body scrub, a lavender seaweed body wrap, ear candling (I know you're all like whaaaa? they light a candle, put it in your ear, and the whole in the bottom of the candle allows smoke to fill your ear canal and pull out ear wax and sinus residue to clear out your sinuses and ear, cool huh), an eye treatment, and a sinus massage.
I drink up to 2 frozen/iced coffee drinks a day (Cinnabon's Mocha Latta Chill is my favorite), if I'm in an area that doesn't have any places around that have these drinks I will go on a hunt for them and often will drive a half hour out of my way to get them, I don't like the taste of regular coffee so this has become a very expensive addiction, just like the cost of buying a pack of cigarrettes a day, and not very healthy either with all of the fat and calories too, I am really trying to seek out a better alternative :)
I sleep with 2 nightlights on, yes 2, I even take them when I go away or stay in hotels when I'm travelling for work, I think it's from watching too many horror movies :O
I believe that vampires are real, I even did a report in college on Vlad the Impaler (aka Dracula); I actually got away with handing it in for 2 different classes, hehe, and doing research for the report sort of deterred my belief slightly but I still have this gut feeling that I can't get rid of. I just don't see how all of that legend and folklore can come out of something that never existed. I'm even scared by writing this they are going to prove to me how real they are :o
I go through these 2-3 week obsession periods where I will obsess about anything from boys to tattoos to bands and don't stay very committed to any of them, that's why I was so proud of myself for going through with getting my first tattoo, hopefully I will be the same for my 2nd, 3rd, and so on. Also, HIM was the first band that I stayed committed to, they weren't just another phase I went through, I did impulsively go out and buy almost all of their cds in matter of 3 weeks but I still listen them all of the time and still feel those little flutters of happiness when I watch the videos and listen to the music that made me fall in love with them in the first place.
I swear I get an endorphin rush or just feel super happy and peaceful when I listen to my favorite band Deftones,
I had a trauma free childhood, I thank my parents for that, although there is no real way to thank someone for that, you basically have to show your appreciation in other ways to be able to come close to paying someone back for that. The older I become the more I realize what a rarity it is and how it changes you for life for the good or the bad, but I think I've done a good job thus far showing my parents without saying it outright how thankful I am. I am a great listener but I get so sick of having to listen to people talk and talk and talk without ever being able to get my own 2 cents in, and I really hate to listen to people who just like the sound of their own voice.
I absolutely love things associated with Irish and Celtic culture whether it be shamrocks or celtic crosses or Irish blessings, all of the things that I will decorate my kitchen with when I move out are all Irish (placemats, towels, clocks, glasses, mugs, even bread warmers, lol). I also love them as tattoos, I have a celtic cross on my back, and plan to have a vine of shamrocks and trinity knots tattooed on my foot.

June 5, 2007Deftones Summer Tour-June 2, 2007@ Electric Factory in Philly
When the band came on stage I couldn't see anything, bunch of really tall people in front of me but I just kept screaming because everyone else was. They opened up with BQAD and it was insane from that moment on, you can see my bruises to prove it. Just getting shoved around and shoving other people, I constantly had my hands on a guy's back or arms in front of me just to brace myself from the pushing or trying not to fall over. It must have been like 90F in that place, I almost had to bail on the pit but luckily after like 4 or 5 fast songs they started playing the ballads and I was like thank god a break. But the pit MADE that show, it wouldn't have been anywhere as fun if you were sitting in the balcony or towards the back, you can't listen to Deftones and not want to jump up and down and ram into the people in front of you and on the sides, lol. And I made it longer in the pit then my friend did, he bailed about 3/4 of the way through, although he was pretty much in the front and those people were just getting squashed from beginnning to end. I would get pushed pretty far up front, maybe 2 people from the front on Stef's side but then I would just get pushed right back again. Plus I ended up in the area of the pit where everyone would shove each other over to the right and then back to the left and again and again, lol, there were points where I couldn't even put my arms up we were so packed in there!! An awesome memory of the night was Chi saying how crazy we were, and how honored he was of us going crazy, Chino spoke to us more than in Dec, he asked us how we were doing and said "It's hotter than a moth... in here", Stef gestured to us and put his horns up at us. They put on once again an amazing show, although Chino did appear to be a bit tired, I mean that was one of the 6 back to back shows that they did, but I wasn't let down in the least. A couple people on my side kept chanting "Teething", but I don't know if they normally go for that, or if any band does. Set list as follows: be quiet & drive And everyone walked away happy and completely drenched in sweat :)!!

May 22, 20071st Annual MMRarbeque Festival Review-May 20th, 2007 (Kickoff Concert for Summer at the Tweeter Center =D)
Our local rock station here in Philly, WMMR (93.3) held it’s first annual music festival this past Sunday at the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ, and they pretty much advertised the crap out of it and how great a deal it was so how could I not go? Plus Ozzfest wasn’t looking to promising for this year so I knew I needed to go to at least one festival this summer and my friend asked me if I wanted to go so I figured it was a no brainer.....8 bands for $49.50, excellent deal if you ask me. So had a very LONG weekend down the shore, but since I was already tired I figured what’s one more day of partying going to hurt right? Let’s just say IS IT FRIDAY YET FOR GOD’S SAKE!! As I’m writing this on Tuesday night. Anyways, started off with a mudslide on the way to the concert, stopped at the liquor store to buy some stuff a friend suggested; mixing Mike’s Hard Lime with Tequila, although it turns out Mike’s makes a new Magarita blend but I figured I might as well by the Tequila anyway…bad decision. I was meeting a friend and some of his other friends at the concert at about 12:50 (when the first band was going on) so ended up driving in by myself, and paying freakin $20 for parking, the venue is kind of messed up in a way that you don’t have much choice where to park, the cops direct everything because the Tweeter Center is in Camden, NJ, which you may have heard is one of the top five most dangerous cities in the country….NIIIIICE!! So waited for my friend for a little, met him and pre-gamed it at my car with a couple of his other friends, ended up spilling my whole jager bomb on his friend’s bag….felt so bad but I’m extremely clumsy when I drink. After about an hour of that and realizing we had missed Flyleaf AHHHHH!! Oh well, and me holding on to the trunk to stay vertical, we went inside to the masses of people. It was totally insane, just people everywhere, but I expected it to be as crowded as Ozzfest was last summer and it definitely was, maybe even more so, although during Family Values I could hear a pin drop that’s how dead that place was in the pavilion area/food court. We made our way to the pit (the concert was set up so that the first four bands-Shovelhook, The Exies, Flyleaf, and Chevelle) was a general admission set-up, so all of the seating areas and pit were open to everyone, then they had a house changeover and if you had a seat, you had that choice or the lawn. The pit was insane, unfortunately we got stuck at the very back at the banister where everyone pushes past to get into and out of the pit, so wasn’t really enjoying Chevelle’s set as much as I could have, but was still impressed even though I heard some less than stellar reviews of Chevelle's live show. Chevelle’s set list: Comfortable Liar The Red Brainiac Vitamin R Well Enough Alone Another song from new album? Get Some Send The Pain Below Another Know It All The Clincher The pit went nuts for Vitamin R, Send the Pain Below, and Get Some, the crowd was really into the band but I’m sorry I don’t remember much, Jager started sneaking up on me by then and I wasn’t feeling that coherent. But hey I still wanted to share my review of the concert and I had a really good time so figured it was worth writing up. This was my first time seeing Chevelle live after being into them since the release of their first album and would definitely go see again…partially from not remembering a whole lot either, ;). Chevelle Stage
Pete Loeffler (Lead Singer of Chevelle)
Dean Bernardini (Bassist)
Send The Pain Below (I know I'm sorry the sound sucks!!)
After Chevelle was the house change for the venue, and at this point they had the radio station's morning show with the WMMR girls playing beach volleyball on the side of the Tweeter center facing the Delware River, but by that time there was no way me and my friend could find our way out and then back into the building, I was just done, haha, and it wasn't even 5 pm yet, why oh why did I mix Tequila and Jager and Myers Dark Rum?!!! So we went back into the pavilion, for some reason that is beyond me I bought a frozen magarita when I should have just freakin ate something but I just wanted to drink more and more and we went outside to see what were in the tents on the outside pavillion. I couldn’t even tell you what the hell was out there and we were out there for like 45 minutes…and here’s why. We both started feeling really bad at that point, I had two sips of my magarita and I knew I had to buy some soda and water to calm my stomach and bring me hopefully back to reality…yeaaaah not so much. I had to take a nap in the mulch in one of the little garden areas in the outside pavilion, I was getting the spins and I didn’t even care that hundreds of people were walking by while I was lying in a garden. I turned over occasionally to see if my friend was allright but he was hungover from yesterday and in combination with what he drank earlier that day he basically had his head on the asphalt, we were just a mess, I would have been embarrassed if I really cared :P After lying there for a half-hour, I said you know Buckcherry is coming on, we should really get up to the lawn to see them. As we stumbled up the ramp to the lawn, I totally lost it and threw up NEXT to the trashcans (that’s what they get for putting covers on them, how do you barf in that?), lol, sorry, and sadly for suffering from motion sickness (planes, amusment park rides) I’ve grown strangely comfortable with throwing up in public, I just kind of do it and am not completely mortified and embarrassed, just like yeah whatever. So went up to the lawn..not to watch the concert but to pass out again, hehe, I can’t even tell you what the band Buckcherry even looks like, any of the members of the band. I did end up sitting up for about 3 songs but wasn’t about to stand up anytime soon. My friend was a bit unresponsive for awhile even though I kept hitting him, but he had a goofy look on his face so I figured he was allright. And don’t you know just as Buckcherry ended their set the heavens opened up and it started pouring, good thing we had seats and had sobered up by then so we grabbed something to eat and got in our seats for Fuel. Buckcherry’s Set List: So Far Broken Glass Porno Star Whiskey Out Of Line Everything Crazy Bitch (loved hearing this live!!) Next 2 You Lit Up As some of you may know, Fuel is minus it's original lead singer (Brett Scallions) and original drummer (Kevin Miller). Nevertheless, they put on an amazing show, the new lead singer (Toryn Green) has just as much of a voice as the former lead singer and for only being with the band for a little more than a month, he did a damn good job. Toryn Green
Falls On Me #1
Falls On Me #2 Fuel's Set List: Last Time
I was getting pretty excited now because who was coming up? EVANESCENCE!! And Amy Lee fresh off of her honeymoon too =D Amy talked to the crowd a lot, she seems like such a sweetheart, and she understood that the lawn was the party spot, and that most of the people who stayed on the lawn did so because they were in a drunken stupor, lol. Evanescence as some of you may know also have some new members just of pretty much this past couple of weeks, a drummer and guitar player from the band Dark New Day..my friend said that Amy pretty much carried the band, and was shocked that the guitar players stared at their guitars through the entire set like they weren't comfortable with what they were doing, but hey it was their 2nd day performing live with the band so you gotta give them credit for that.
Evanescence Set List: Weight Of The World
Weight of the World Evanescence-Your Star Evanescence-Lithium After a quick intro and thanks by the WMMR staff, it was time for VELVET REVOLVER!!! I had been so excited all week knowing that I was going to see Slash and Scott Weiland in person, two ultimate rock stars, and of course along with the other former members of Guns N Roses, and Scott Weiland does not disappoint, he is the epitomy of the rock star and being in his presence you can't help but have major respect for how amazing he is. They rocked out for a little over an hour, they had to cut one song or two out of the set list below due to time constraints, but the encore-Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd cover) the place went nuts, it was once in a lifetime experience =D Velvet Revolver's Set List: Let It Roll Wish You Were Here
Slash
Vasoline
Slither Slash-Guitar Solo
Below is the only video that's not mine, but I just had to share how amazing WYWH really was, and everyone singing along :)
So to sum it up, so glad I sobered up for the rest of the night, it was an amazing concert, it pretty much rained through Evanescence's set and some of VR, but luckily I was in the seats by then, sucks for the people on the lawn but maybe that's why my parking lot was pretty much clear when I came out =D Bonus also which I couldn't believe I didn't know about this was had to find out from watching the Jumbotron in between sets that Deftones are going to be back at the E-Factory on June 2nd, I couldn't get over the fact that if I hadn't been at that concert I might have missed the upcoming show, I would have had a heartattack!! Thanks for reading =D

February 5, 2007Philly.com-Bam and Missy's Wedding ArticleSideshow | Not just another wedding for the TV camerasJust another wedding? Not the case Saturday night at the Loews Philadelphia as West Chester's MTV/skater-punk hero Bam Margera, 27, married childhood friend Missy Rothstein, 26, before about 350 friends, family members and an MTV crew. Margera's brother Jesse was best man. Iggy Popperformed after the salad course. Among guests were Tony Hawk, the skateboarding legend, James Iha, formerly of Smashing Pumpkins, and the usual gang of Margera associates, including Dico and Rake Yohn. Philly restaurateur Dave Magrogan of Kildare's Irish Pub and Doc Magrogan's Oyster House were there, as were radio personalities Preston Elliot,Casey Fosbenner, Kathy Romanoof WMMR's Preston & Steve show. The show's Steve Morrison was under the weather. Witnesses reported two scuffles involving unspecified combatants. The wedding will be Topic A of today's Preston & Steve show (6 to 10 a.m., 93.3 FM). Margera, who rose to fame on the shows Jackass and Viva La Bam, allowed MTV to follow the wedding for a nine-episode series Bam's Unholy Union. It premiered Tuesday; the wedding itself, the final episode, will be shown in early April. The couple will honeymoon in Dubai. MTV cameras took pains to avoid taping Margera's uncle Vincent "Don Vito" Margera, who on Thursday was ordered to stand trial on charges that he groped three girls at an appearance in Colorado. He is free on $50,000 bail, pending his March 5 arraignment. Hawk, by the way, impressed staff at Lacroix at the Rittenhouse Friday when he and his wife, Lhotse, came in for dinner. They left a 50 percent tip. - Michael Klein

December 3, 2006Deftones-Saturday Night Wrist Tour-Dec.2 (Electric Factory-Philadelphia PA)
About 25-30 minutes for set change, and the build-up for Deftones was INSANE!! The whole crowd moved about 10 feet forward when Chino first got on stage, and that's when the madness began. I've never been in a full fledged mosh pit yet, I've just been on the side when small ones have broken out, but what broke out during their opener Rats!Rats!Rats! was the entire floor in a huge mosh pit, and was pissed at first that it happened, but then I was LOVING it!! Even when they went into their next song Digital Bath, which is a slow song, they were still pits forming, but then I guess they realized this isn't nowhere near a good song to mosh too, so they calmed down until My Own Summer hit, and OMFG!! was that song fun, cause we just got pushed around from start to end, I loved it, that's when me and my friend got pushed back the farthest, I was holding onto his arm and the arm of the girl in front of me, who was being pushed back on to her boyfriend, cause I really thought we were all going to fall, it was so awesome!! Unfortunately though, we got pushed into the lamest part of the crowd, and if you've read my other concert reviews, this always seems to end up happening to me, although luckily the two people right in front of me who didn' t move a muscle pretty much for the entire concert were short, so I could still see the stage and everything. But seriously, the girl in front of me clapped like twice, and she clapped like she was at a fucking dance recital, not a Deftones concert, but whatever. Here's the set list, order is a bit mixed up Rats!Rats!Rats! Massive pit formation =D Digital Bath-Raquel, I really did melt =D My Own Summer-Funnest, craziest song of the night Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)-Raquel, it truly was INCREDIBLE!! Although, this is when some chick grabbed me and pushed me into the pit, which had luckily just dispersed, cause I would have looked like an idiot in there, lol XD. Around The Fur Beware-Chino hit all of his high notes, his voice was definitely on point!! Nosebleed Xerces-So beautiful live Engine #9 This might have been the smoke/mop off all my sweat with towel break the band took :) Passenger Hole in the Earth Root Minus Blindfold-In this song, Chino let out this bloodcurdling, gut wrenching scream, it was amazing!! Minerva-only dull point of the concert, crowd wasn't really into this one Hexagram Kimdracula-my new fav off Saturday Night Wrist Cherry Waves Change-the thing that pissed me off about this song was it seemed like the crowd awakened at this point, like then you started seeing fists in the air and people singing, like fuck where were you guys for the last 1/2 hour? 7 words-I noticed this guy off to my right staring at me, I know all the words to 7 words, it is kind of a difficult song to memorize, maybe he was impressed a girl knew all the words to the song At the very end of 7 words, I swear I had a moment with Chino...in my head, lol, I just remember him with his fists in the air, and me directly in front of him about 200 feet back, I was screaming and had my horns in the air, and literally like I was the only one in my field of vision in front of me with my hands in the air, and it was like it was just me and him in the room...yes I know I'm crazy, lol, but it was like he was singing directly to me, XD. So, all in all, I had a fucking fun ass time, the crowd was pretty lame and that bothered me a little, and I really wanted to push my way back up to the front where the real pit was but didn't feel like pushing through people. But even when everyone was slamming into each other, it never got violent, I don't think they were any fights, it was all just a happy Deftones crowd, everyone was just there to have fun and it was just a really positive crowd, and I think Chino was feeding off our energy just as much as were feeding off of his. He thanked us a couple times and you could tell he really appreciated the fans, not jaded at all. Anways, I loved every single second of it, and THANK GOD FOR DEFTONES!!!

September 17, 2006Family Values Tour ReviewSo, I got to the Tweeter Center around 6:50, when I walked into the main gates that takes you into the food court area, I could not believe how dead it was, I was just at Ozzfest a month ago, and it was like night and day. Granted Stone Sour was performing then, but going from waiting 20 minutes for my Jack Daniels' country punch at Ozzfest to 20 secs at FVT, WOW!! But anyways, me and my brother went and looked around, completely dead out in the pavillion too, I just really wanted to find the FYE tent to see if I could make it there to the Deftones meet and greet and still get back and see Korn, which I decided against later, still don't know if I made the right decision. So I got my drink and we went out into the pit when Stone Sour was playing Through Glass, which was amazing, I think I heard it on the radio maybe once, but Corey Taylor has an AMAZING VOICE, from the two songs I did see, it must have been a great set, he was very interactive with the crowd and seemed like a really appreciative guy, I'm going to have to check them out. Oh yeah, and the 80's Van Halen jump off the stage kicked ass, loved that. Korn’s Set List- Intro Right Now Twist-very cool little rap/scat JD does J Love Song ADIDAS (He put out the mike for us all to scream-All day I dream about…..FUCKING!!!) Falling Away From Me Coming Undone (he wore his grill for this one, hehe) Got The Life Throw Me Away (highlight of the night for me, AMAZING) Shoots and Ladders (bagpipes baby, bagpipes) Wicked (brought out Chino from Deftones, sweeeeeeet) Here To Stay (my 2nd fav Korn song) Freak On A Leash Hollow Life (Acoustic, done back behind the 200 level seating in front of the lawn, I went from Munky sweating on me to not even being able to see them once they got back there) Encore Twisted Transistor (when the lyrics go fuck you too your scream’s a whisper, I decided to put my middle finger up for the fuck you too part, sadly I was the only one L)
Sidenote-Must tell you about this jerkoff that almost ruined my experience. This asshole first tried to push his way to the front during the Deftones set, he pushed me right out of the way, loved that a bigger guy in the front of me wasn't having it and wouldn't let him through, and then the guy proceeds to talk through the rest of the Deftones set to his two 13 yr old kids he brought with him who kept knocking into me. Nice buddy, real nice. So he disappeared for awhile, thank god, and right after Korn did Hollow Life, I turned around and realized the two guys that were in front of me had left, so I moved up and was right behind the person in front of the rail, so this guy from behind me taps me on the shoulder and says hey can I get up here to my sister? So I say sure, and as soon as I said it I realized who it was, the asshole again, i tried to block him off but couldn't, then the freakin kids are trying to push me aside again, I was like no way you are not pushing me out of the way. So yeah for the rest of the Korn set, this jerk elbows me in my chest like 6 times, till I finally push him and say EXCUSE ME!!! He just looked at me, so him and his complete loser stoner friend ruined the last 2 songs of Korn's set for me. He also shoved the guy in front of him into the freakin rail!!

August 5, 2006Ozzfest 2006 Final Part-Ozzy!!!Next was Ozzy fuckin Osbourne, my friend thought she might cry, it was definitely something to tell the grandkids about. For about 5-7 minutes they played clips off all of Ozzy's music videos. It seemed like forever before he came out, the place went absolutely nuts when he came out. Up until a few days before the show the rumor was that Ozzy was headlining the second stage and wouldn't do the main stage, but thank god he decided to close out the show, it's only right. I'm not a huge Black Sabbath or Ozzy fan, I don't really know any of the words to his songs, just the choruses, so by the time he had come on, I was hungry, tired, sweaty, hot, my feet heart, they turned the amps up even more than they were before, I lifted up my water bottle and the fuckin thing was vibrating, but towards the end I just got this second wind and really enjoyed his set. He was incredible, he did forget a couple of lyrics with which Zach Wylde (lead singer for Black Label Society and guitarist for Ozzy's band) helped him with. Zach did this incredible like 15 minute guitar solo in which he played behind his back and with his teeth 0_O!! Ozzy was so cute, he would break out from song and start doing this like 5 yr old little girl hand wave thing to get us to wave our hands, and he would waddle (ya know how he doesn't really walk, he kind of waddle/runs) and picked up buckets of water to throw on the crowd, funny thing was he would get half of the water on himself before getting into the crowd, so freakin funny. He also threw juice bottles in to the crowd and hit this girl in the head XD. Well, halfway through Ozzy's set, I was starting to look around cause some people were crowd surfing, and I noticed the topless chicks started appearing, I thought the one girl was going to take someone's eye out the way she was swinging those things around. Something happened though, either someone tried to touch her or the guy holding her up got hit, cause she got dropped onto the ground and a huge fight broke out. Two guys I think got pulled out of the pit by security, and these two drunk assholes were shaking the security guy's hand for taking care of it, they were all like "Thanks man, you guys are awesome", lol. Before they were going to wrap it up, Ozzy told us only if we went fuckin crazy would they play one...two...three....maybe four more songs. We got him to play 3, and thank god for my friend he played Paranoid, she had been waiting all night to hear that. Mama I'm coming home was his first encore song, it was incredible. This was Ozzy's set list- I Dont Know Road To Nowhere So, it was a great night, one of the greatest nights of my life, I took 39 pics, going to get them developed today, and should have them scanned and posted by some time tommorrow. Thanks for reading =D

Ozzfest 2006-Part 2The anticipation for Disturbed was crazy, I couldn't believe that in less than 5 minutes, Disturbed would be on stage, David Draiman would be 30 feet away =D. We stayed pretty much in the same area, talked to a couple of guys, the one guy said they were the reason why he came, everyone was just really excited. Dan (guitarist) was on our side, super hot in person, and John (bassist) on the other side, and when David came out the place went fuckin nuts, really good crowd energy. Of course the mosh pit broke out right near us, but it was cool cause we weren't getting pushed around, it was just right in front of us, we were just on the edge of it. David really got the crowd into, he has not only an amazing singing voice as you probably know but his speaking voice is incredible too. He talked about the war in Iraq and how we had no business being in that part of the world, and to honor the men and women fighting for us over there, the crowd roared, and then he led us into a USA chant, which made me feel proud of a country that is a joke to the rest of the world :(. So, I belted out most of the songs with all of my heart cause I just absolutely love this band, their music has meaning and that is just so important to me. At one point the guy next to me turned to me and said it looks like we're the only real Disturbed fans here, I'm like you got that right =D And that was before I went completely nuts jumping up and down for Down with the Sickness, it was fuckin sick, lol. David had the whole crowd pumping their fists many, many times, he's an incredible front man, he did do a lot of posing and just walking around, but he can get away with that. It's weird I am normally a fairly quiet and shy person, especially in new situations like that, but I just didn't fuckin care, I was rockin out like there was no tommorow, it was great, and I only had 2 halfs of the drinks I spilled, XD. Here was Disturbed's set list- The Game They went out, getting us hyped for SOAD, who were up next and of course Ozzy, we moved up a little bit and over more towards the amps, as if we weren't close enough, couldn't really hear anything by then. I had a huge cheesy grin on my face when SOAD started, I absofuckinlutely love SOAD. Their set started with the The Soldier Side Intro on the Mesmerize cd, with Daron singing the vocals, Daron sang more vocals than Serj throughout their set, not a whole lot more, I think their vocals really mesh well together. SOAD brought a special guest named Harry from Venice Beach California, we all had to yell HI HARRY!! he was great, he played bass. Shavo was FUCKIN AWESOME!! He came over to us like 5 times, I swear I was making eye contact with him cause I went crazy when they played Revenge, I LOOOOOVE THAT SONG!!! Every single song was incredible, Serj played the keyboard in the front a couple of times, Daron was doing this crazy thing with his guitar on the ground, couldn't really see him that well. Serj also sat down for 2 or 3 songs and played a special kind of guitar, maybe middle-eastern type. When Shavo came over the 3rd time and I think I was 1 of like 3 girls over on that side and I started screaming for him, he made a motion like his heart was fluttering, like he was flattered that I was screaming for him like that, maybe, or just the combination of girls screaming for him, lol. He also threw water on the crowd, he was just an amazing live performer, so funny and entertaining. And side note-The strangest thing for me was when Shavo came back to us during Cigaro, and me screaming out the lyrics to Cigaro-"My c*ck is much bigger than yours, my c*ck can walk right through the door" to a guy, weird XD. I loved them live, loved them already but now respect them on a whole different level, for their political views and just incredible music. And this was the point of the night were the weed smoke was sent adrift XD. Here was their set list- Attack

Ozzfest 2006-Part 1 Baby =DSo Ozzfest was my first rock concert, talking about extreme, but ladies and gentleman I don't just dip my foot into the pool, I dive in....head first. But seriously though, when I heard that LC, Disturbed, and System of a Down were going to be headlining, I was ecstatic, 3 of my favorite bands in the world all 30 minutes from my house, doesnt' get much better than that. I bought pit tickets, in my eyes its the only way to go, I just have to be right near the stage, and got a parking pass because I was told by a friend I would have a hell of a time parking, especially cause I had to wait for my friend to get off of work around 4 for the concert. I knew it would be cutting it close with seeing Lacuna Coil, but earlier in the day Pierre, the local dj on WMMR(rock station) was reporting the set times being pushed back 10 minutes, originally the whole concert was supposed to start an hour later, but they ended up making everything an hour earlier, so the second stage was staring at 9 am o_O, I find it kind of hard to rock out that early I don't know about you. So after having an absolutely horrendous time parking, with the cops blocking off the streets, and me with what I thought was a special "purple" parking pass, which nobody knew what to do with, we parked in a shady parking lot, but along with crowds of people so still safe I guess, we procedded to walk like the mile and a half to the tweeter center. I hadn't been there since 98, so needless to say I had no idea where I was going. We got through the front gate and I just started walking, my friend Jody following me cause she thought I knew where I was going. It was just insane, so many people, so I came from the back steps, up to where the lawn is and just walked around there, and still didnt' know how to get to the pit, finally found it through the food court type thingie. So we get our wristbands, I though it was funny that the pit wristbands were bright pink, and by the time we got out there Hatebreed was coming on. We found a decent spot....even though it was right in front of the amps, lol, it was good cause you still had some room and I didn't want to get stuck when the mosh pit broke out, so the side was good for me. Plus my friend is about 5'4-5'5 and she wouldn't have been able to see, our section was pretty lame for Hatebreed. I watched some videos on youtube before hand to know what I should expect and didn't think I would like their type of music. The weird thing was I really, really liked it, the lead singer just had this amazing stage presence, getting the crowd really into it. This was Hatebreed's set list Tear It Down So about 20 minutes before Hatebreed was going off, we decided to go eat and go to the bathroom through A7X, I fuckin hate A7X, sorry, to me they're like a metal boy band, it's like get this pierced and this tattoed, and you'll look legit. So after waiting in line for fuckin forever, and dropping my Jack Daniel's country punch in line, *I'm such a klutz*, I kind of dropped it on this guy's foot, I looked up and I'm like I AM SO SORRY!! and he said don't worry about it, it felt good (remember this part, his chillness will come in later). So I got another country punch, and a crappy hot dog, me and my friend caught up, haden't seen her in 2 years, I went to college with her and then she transferred, we made our way about a couple of minutes before A7x went off. After having to show the pit people our tickets and wristbands...again.XO....we made our way to the same spot in front of the amps. When we get out there, I finally realize the incredible sexiness of A7x lead singer, his arms are FUCKIN AMAZING, I never seen a more incredible biceps on a guy before, and them being all tattooed up made it even better, if that was possible. *Maybe I should give A7X a chance*:), so as I'm taking my camera out of my shirt to take a pic, my country punch goes flying and lands on this bitch (you'll see) in front of me. As she proceeds to turn around, I'm doing the whole I AM SO SORRY!! again, I really was at first, then I realize she's this 40 yr. old wanna be 21 yr old hag wearing get this, white stillettos, a mini skirt, a halter top, and this really nice white handbag, she looks at me with disgust and disbelief that I oh dear god dropped a drink, it fuckin happens, first of all YOU'RE AT FUCKIN OZZFEST, IN THE FUCKIN PIT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR THAT SHIT!! She deserved to get a drink tossed on her, hell a guy could have peed on my shoe for all I care, what do you fuckin expect? So as her and her skanky daughter continue to give me bitchy looks they left after A7x *hmmm, A7x fans maybe*, well that just reiterates everything I thought about them, fake ass band and fake ass fans (sorry I don't want to offend anyone, those two were just really fake, and I didn't see them for the rest of the night, so anyways). A7X's set list-Beast and the Harlot
