Back To Concert Review

La La Palalooza 96,
summer @Rikers Island.


This was my first concert, and the first time, I ever saw moshing. But I liked it, although I didn't mosh. I stood up front most of the time by the main stage.


Ramones

Wearing their usual leather jackets in hot summer sun, they jammed. The guitarist kept lifting his middle finger randomly.


Soundgarden.

Okay, no big deal. Chris Cornell is an obnoxious asshole. Someone threw some paper on stage at him. Chris made a big deal saying that he doesn't like stuff to be thrown on him, he even took his shirt off. I mean many people are watching these bands, all tired, beaten up, and even bloody, and that ass is making a big deal about that!!! I mean the audience went thru more than what he complained about. Well his music sucks anyway. I only liked Bad Motorfinger.


Metallica:

Well they put on a show. Fireworks the whole deal. People were screaming for Master of the Puppets, then he played Nothing else matters, Some audience members lifted their middle fingers. I found that amusing. What pissed me off, is that James sat on a chair like an old man and played Nothing else matters. They later played from their older albums. But some how, I felt one of the guitarist was not playing his part properly.
