> Fucking Odd! That pretty much describes my night! > Perhaps it would have been better if i were drunk..... > This was my 3rd concert this week (White Stripes, > Lifehouse + Goo Goo Dolls) and by far the worst! > > Some random notes / thoughts from tonight: > > 1) I had great seats that i acquired 3 hours before the > show... they were the seats reserved for band's friends > and family and was right next to john miceli's family. > They were from NY and the most annoying fuckers ever! they > wouldn't let anyone stand and they kept talking on their > cellphones. > The problem with insiders is that they just don't have the same appreciation for what the fans appreciate as the fans do. Those family members probably were there on the obligatory note of participation and talking on their cellphones was the way they got through it. My condolences. Being in the VIP section isn't all its cracked up to be. > 2)Susan sat on my left side. I swear to God!

I'm hysterically stoked by this but my alter ego was not there!! At least she got the common thread right even if she couldn't get the name right. Sometimes it takes being a little bit crazy to be a little bit right. :) > > 3) So the show starts without meat loaf.

I'm tellin' ya, there's an element of turds at work undermining all this. So, what's Meat Loaf's problem with synching to the band....do you think the band was out of synch from Meat? > 7) Before OBJECTS loaf stopped the show to catch his > breath and apologize for sucking during the previous > songs.... he seemed delirious, he couldn't remember > anything, and would forget what he was talking about 1/2 > through a sentence - the band was laughing at him but i > really think he's got some serious memory problems. I do. That's part of a heart condition. Wtf is he doing performing if he's got that kind of problem? I guess nohody but he knows what that is about. Medication? This seems too strange. > So he > apologized & blamed everything on his stomach cause he > went to the BBQ place and got ribs with the XXX HOT SAUCE > and he claimed his ass was on fire or something.... he > made numerous jokes throughout the night about his sexy > ass. > That's probably overcompensation and making light, not wanting to say what the problem really is. This may put new meaning to the phrase, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. > 8) Anything for love started with "some nights come hard, > other nights don't come easy" it was a TOTAL disaster the > crowd had NO IDEA what song it was... the piano part was > edited to like 3 keys that they repeated over and over and > it sounded nothing like the song... > > 9) His vocals were in and out throughout the night but the > timing was so far off and he was almost babbling like a > little delirious child that the poor vocals almost seemed > secondary. + The band sucked so bad to the point where it > was hard to tell what song they were playing. I think it is a case of a band not following his timing. A band's got to take the lead from him, not leave him to flounder. They need to make him look good, not make him look moronic. They could make or break a singer. Don't blame Meat, he is a perfectionist for his performance and probably mortified at what happened, fully aware of how awful it was. Even though I'm still upset about the damned lawsuit, I know he isn't deserving of being destroyed by a pithy band onstage. Messing someone up like this could do things to anyone's memory on the spot...maybe he was in shock they were playing like that. > > 10) After the break - he came back on fire!

Sounds like you had an interesting time. Look forward to hearing about the Boston show. Susan | |
