Well last night was the long awaited return of Japanese Heavy Metal band LOUDNESS. The last time they played in San Francisco Bay Area was 19 years ago. Well i was at that show in 1987. Chech out Akira's lighted fret board.
Also Mark the Singer of Death Angel's new side project All times High opened for them. I didn't get to finish my post last night due to the movie my family was watching. Is was a great show. Go see them if can.
The show was great. I think some people were disappointed they didn't do more old stuff, but I didn't care. I hadn't seen them since 1985, so just being there (and REAL close) was just intense. Akira is my favorite guitarist, so just look at the pics and that should explain how good of a time I had.
Also, my friends and I ran into Akira on 48th St. around 4pm that day. To say it was a thrill is an understatement. We were so shocked that we didn't even get a picture with him. ugh.
