Can't remember much else* but yeah it was a good show.

*I'd had a wee bit too much acid though, I remember getting emotional during a Coldplay song.
Yeah I was at that show too (minus the acid. hahaha), their live shows with all the pyrotechnics/fake phallus', etc were immense..


I guess you could call it a gimmick, a show, whatever.. From a musicians point of view, their songs could be considered quite simple, however they still write extremely catchy songs.. (They aren't exactly being labeled as tech-metal, haha)
Its all subjective.. Nirvana's songs are rock-bottom basic but I wouldn't say they were sh!t..

Musicality aside, I've also got plenty of respect for a band who can be around for 20+ years, and have the original and same 6 guys for the entire time..
