Forgot to mention THANX FA NOTHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
Some random notes:
-The new drummer fucking rocks. Some really impressive shit on Wrecking Crew and Thanx For Nothin.
-Two groupies who mighta been hot if they weren't so fucking fake-looking and obviously knew nothing about metal showed up and were like "We think the band needs some girls in the front." Then like 10 seconds into "Within Your Eyes" they ran away screaming.
-Nice Day... RULES ME. One of my favorite Overkill songs, I don't think they've ever played it live before this latest round of touring and it fucking slays.
-Blitz is the greatest frontman in metal. That "oh shit it's time to sing better rush onstage real quick!" trick is awesome. And I submit to you these quotes.
Bobby: "I got kicked out of a Motörhead show before I ever joined Overkill. That's how metal I am."
Bobby: (eight songs in) "Thank you, goodnight. ...what? I already got paid, I'm getting the fuck outta here. Hell with you. '...you fucking cunt.'"
Bobby: "We got a new album out, you can get online and download it...wait a second, Lars ain't in the building, is he?" *looks around*
Bobby: "WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY-"
Crowd: "...uh...fuck you?"
Bobby: "Wait a second, are we in fucking Oakland?"
Crowd: *death threats*
Bobby: "WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY-"
Crowd: "FUCK YOU!"
-I talked to Blitz a bit after the show, he recognized me from the message boards. I kinda fanboy'd out. >< Awesome guy, though, I was gonna stick around and bother the band but I had to bail if I wanted to avoid paying for a taxi. Oh well, he said they'd be back soon. I'M HOLDING THEM TO IT.
