Was it me or was yesterday just an insane day to begin with? From morning til night I felt I was in some David Lynch movie or something. If I was one to believe in astrology, well...who am I kidding. I am one to believe in astrology, the planets were definitely going bonkers yesterday.
Although it's always great to see the girls play, but out of all The Iron Maidens shows I have seen over the years, and I've seen a lot, I mean more than I can count. A lot of shows! That was hands down the most, uh,,, er... well, "off" one I've seen. Especially the 3rd set. It seemed that the band was all a bit out of sync with each other. Was there a monitor problem?
It happens. No biggie. Bottom line: I had a lot of fun, and it was still great. It was only $1 so how can I complain?
Believe it or not Wanda actually made a mistake. Yes, folks. She actually IS human. For a while I was wondering if she was just some bassist Super Hero or possibly an android, specifically programmed to put 5th dimensional bass in your face, but it occurred to me yesterday, in that slight glitch in Rime that she is indeed human.
What's up with the LA Freeways? It doesn't matter if it's the 5, 101 or 405 or 10 or any of them, they are jam packed bumper to bumper 24/7 these days. It took me forever to get there. All you aspiring actor losers, could you please just pack it up and go back to Iowa or whatever hillbilly village you came from, so you can stop clogging up our freeways driving to your auditions that you'll never get anyway. I need Linda to have her brother send me some bazooka or grenade type weapons from Afghanistan because it's time I just stared blowing up cars in front of me to clear the way. This is ridiculous.
Heather is great! She belongs up there! Heather has great stage presence and plays very well. The blonde girl, er, I wasn't loving it. Her tone seemed wrong for the songs and she played some wrong notes. I couldn't get passed the inappropriate tone. Seemed awkward up there to me. It seemed she was singing along but sometimes singing the wrong words.
By the way, where do you find all these girls that not only love Iron Maiden, but can play the songs, and play them well? I can't even find a girl that knows Iron Maiden. Maybe I should start dating chicks born before 1989 and wear dress sizes over size "1".
Courtney is really good. I mean really fucking good! Technical ability mixed with soul, she is really good. Great actually. That's a lot of soul there for someone that age. I hope one day she has a project that plays originals. I'd like to see her improvise on originals one day. Hearing her play an improvised blues solo and just go off in her own way, would be great. Everytime it was her time to solo, she nailed it!
I didn't dig Courtney's strip tease though. Made me feel uncomfortable, especially since there were little kids around. I felt weird. I can't understand why such a great musician would do that. I would think you'd want to be known for your axe playing. Who knows? Maybe you're just too old for me. hehe Would Jennifer Batten do that?
I mean, I assume if all the band members dressed like Kenny on South Park, or even like Taliban chicks where all we saw were the eyes, I would think the fanbase, and positive response from the audience would be the exact same. Probably be a bitch at airports though. Actually you guys should dress like the woman in the Time to Run video.
Linda is tight as fuck! What an amazing drummer! She always knows the exact amount of strength to use. Never too hard, never too light. I never see her play mistakes. Maybe the best one in the band. Didn't dig all the burping in the mic though. But hey, it's the swap meet.
Everytime I see Kirsten I am reminded how well she fits the bill for this band. She sings great. Also, she has the gift to gab and goes on and on in between songs and I never feel it's stupid. It's always funny and always appropriate. She's really fucking funny! Keep on talking. She should have "Hesher for Life" tattooed on her.
There was this fight during the 3rd set and it almost got out of hand. What low lifes! I think the process is: Leave trailer park- Drive Ford Fiesta to Swap Meet- Pay $1- Go inside Swap Meet- Shop for clothes for the 6-9 children at home- Drink lots of Budweiser- Other drunk man talks to your fat wife- Get in fight over fat wife- Other low lifes crowd around to see fight!
After the show I met Michelle Meldrum's parents. That was really nice. I kind of wish I was able to stay longer and talk with them a bit more. Hopefully I'll see them again.
Thanks for a great day! See ya next time!
