All good clean fun

Orchid - No One Makes a Sound

This really rocks. It's like damn, I want to drive a car off a cliff to this song. Maybe, that's too much.

Nothing but heartbreak over here, mainly because of lack of rocking. All of the shows I wanted to go see have sold out, Ghost sold out, Andrew WK sold out, Die Antwoord sold out, I am heartbroken. Slightly. I'm still going to see Motorhead next week so there's that! FUCKING MOTORHEAD! Will that make up for the fact that I didn't get to see Ghost, or that I won't get to see my patron saints (yes both AWK and DA)? Maybe. I don't know, hard to tell. I should really be going to more underground shows, it's just laziness really, and a continual sense of undefined dread. Or something like that. I don't know man. Still! I am going to go see Motorhead. Also Megadeth, yay, I suppose. Okay, I don't dislike Megadeth, but they've always struck me as why can't we be Metallica please. Actually whenever I hear that there's news about Metallica I dread hearing the actual news.

Motorhead - Black Leather Jacket


The thing I am dreading about the Motorhead show is that fucking Lacuna fucking (not in a good way) Coil is going to be there too. I wouldn't have a problem if they were just hanging out but they are going to be on stage, subjecting me to their "rock" music. My plan is to get there after their set, but the glaring flaw of that scheme is that I might miss Volbeat, who are alright, except for this abhorrent cover of I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. I was hating on them for a while because that's the first song by them I ever heard. Volbeat is okay, I dig their whole rockabilly meets metal thing, but sometimes it just fall flatter than a rat rod's tire that's been pierced with a switchblade. Too many of their songs are ruined by dumbass break downs or tempo changes.

It seems like Lacuna Coil and Volbeat are on that tour because whoever put the tour together is expecting an older/more mainstream audience so they booked those opening bands hoping to satiate that particular demographic. A Warrior's Call by Volbeat would fit in perfectly into an ad for the NFL. (what are you doing for the Big Game? hanging out with your buds on the couch grazing on nachos and pizza? drinking some brewskis? weeping quietly in the dark?) But have you ever been to a Motorhead show? It's pretty cool since one of the coolest bands ever are on stage for sure, but it's made even better by all the rockers getting together. All of the sub types of rockers are there, all ages, all races, it fucking rules. I'll go to punk shows and I'll see only people who go to punk shows there, at death metal shows it's the same way; at a Motorhead show everyone is there. The show gets crazy fun, everyone is singing along, moshing and shit, headbanging and guzzling beers, you know a proper rock and roll show. My prediction is that Lacuna Coil and Volbeat are going to get heckled like crazy. Specially Lacuna Coil.
