Before I gush over having the best time of my life, I feel like I need to apologize on behalf of my town for the absolute atrocious conditions of the venue. With the amount of flies in the backstage area we might as well have had the Meet and Greet in Somalia. I felt so embarassed, because the band deserves so much better. Zombie even mentioned during his set, "This is the dirtiest, smelliest, scummiest place we've played in a long time..." If you ever comeback (please do) try to book one of the venues in Bricktown. A million times nicer all around. I only hope that our response to you helped make up for it just a little bit.

As far as the show itself, I have no point of reference as this was my first Anthrax show, but it was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had at a concert. I was screaming my lungs out to every song and lost my voice in the process, in addition to losing my drumsticks in the pit during Indians. But it was worth it, though. :kickass:

Setlist:

Indians
Got The Time
Caught in a Mosh
Antisocial
SKELETONS IN THE FUCKING CLOSET!!
I Am The Law
Bring The Noize

I was skeptical about Bring The Noize being brought back, but I'll be damned if myself and everyone around me weren't trying to hit the ceiling with all of our jumping. Fantastic closer. As I hit the concessions after their set there was such a buzz amongst everyone. Old-schoolers were grinning from ear to ear.

The Meet and Greet went pretty well. There's really nothing I could've said without coming off like a total nerd, but I was close to muttering "You guys rule so hard." My friend that went with me said he asked if they would be playing Lone Justice that night, so let Justin know we're still fighting the good fight.

Many thanks to the band for the pic and autographs. Can't wait to do it again.
 
congrats dude and you're even taller than Frankie. That's cool you can slam after the surgery you had after the WDD video shoot.
 
There was a rodeo the night before so when we got there it stunk of poo and there were more flies than the Amityville Horror house.
You should've introduced yourself as LF. I like to meet the faces behind the names. Charlie pointed out your shirt. Good one.

Louie is a kick ass fan - hey he put up with me at the WDD video shoot. Plus it was the day before he had a surgery.

Didn't know about the rodeo. I'm pretty sure that area reeks of poo every day of the week anyway. They should just change the name of it to the "Oklahoma Stereotype Arena" because there's monster truck racing in a couple of months.

I can't envision a scenario where I say "Hi, I'm Louie...Louie Fatterson." and walk away with my dignity intact, so maybe ithat name wasn't such a good idea in retrospect

Even if you guys don't come back for the new album I'll be making a road trip to Texas. Thanks again for the awesome experience.

:lol: Where did you get the name from?

Back in college my roommate and I would watch Family Feud everyday when Louie Anderson was hosting it because he was so horrible. We just goofed on him relentlessly and when I signed up on the board it was the first stupid hack name that popped in my head so I went with it. I wish there was a better story behind it, but that's all it is. Now you all are dumber for having read that explanation. :loco:

I want to know where Charlie got those shoes... and if they come in 13s.
They look like he got 'em out of Eddie Van Halen's closet...I want 'em too!:kickass:
