§ėEτhє® ROCK!!

left buffalo at 9 in the morn.. we have a dodge neon again.. beige this time though.. made good time and were in columbus at 2.30.. went to W.G. Grinders with pinku and vibhash.. then came home.. downed a few killian's and buzzed off for the concert..

breaking benjamin opened the show. with a lively half-hour set.. they have a song out called 'so cold'.. then came in three days grace.. freakin' animals man!! they kicked ass with their awesome 30 min. set.. 'i hate everything about you', 'just like you'..

then came what was one of those moments in my life that i wait so eagerly for.. seether!! they were looking awesome, sounding great, and did a no-frills, no-pyros, simple lights 50 min. set.. but it rocked! 'gasoline', 'fine again', 'fade away', 'hang on', 'driven under', 'broken'.. amy lee of evanescence came out to sing broken when they sang it.. then when they were finishing their encore.. they go "and this last song, is by someone we are inspired by, and miss and respect so much.." and they start the church-organ plinking intro of 'you know you're right'!!! nirvana!! yeeha!! totally ripped out my voice singing along to that one!!

finally was the headliners evanescence.. ash and i were tripping when we saw the freakin' double-bass on stage!! wooha!! we both were guilty of grossly under estimating this band man! they played good hard-hitting rock man.. it was awesome! amy lee is not only hot, she has a great voice and rocks!! and oh yeah, she's been seeing seether frontman shaun morgan for a year or so.. lucky south african dog!! damn!!

had dinner at venky and ramanendra's place, then went back to pinku's for some soid drinking and catching up.. haven't been in columbus since january.. so loads to talk about.. pinku got freaking sloshed then called his folks to tell them he was out!! we called up kosh too...
