We Were All Feeling A Bit Shagged And Fagged And Fashed

by Rainier on Aug. 30, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Wow, that was one loud concert! My ears are still ringing, and I was even wearing earplugs to muffle the sound a bit. The gig was great, though. Lots of the new songs but also several Guns N' Roses ones and a few from Velvet Revolver. The vocalist Myles Kennedy was damn good, and if Slash only owned the GN'R material/band, that guy would even be a fitting replacement for Axl Rose. Surprisingly enough, the opening act, Taking Dawn, was rather engaging and made quite a valiant effort to warm us up for the main course.

Prior to going to the concert, we watched Burn Notice (good) and The Bounty Hunter (entertaining).

I'd Give My God-Damned Soul For Just A Glass Of Beer

It was quite nice out yesterday, but it was also equally windy. We went to a local food event where dozens of food carts were offering their very tasty creations. We're not talking little ice cream carts or hot dog carts, but full-fledged food trucks selling all sorts of Asian, French, Mexican and other types of cuisine. There were numerous "fusion" tacos, beef brisket and paella (Gerard Nebesky won against celebrity chef Bobby Flay in a throwdown).

Tonight, we're heading to the Slash concert, so we're hoping it'll be a good gig. We've gotten a few of his solo albums, and the most recent one is quite good. However, since it's a collaboration with various artists (mainly on vocals) such as Ozzy Osbourne, Kid Rock, Iggy Pop, Lemmy (Motorhead) and even Fergie (Black Eyed Peas), it remains to be seen how well that material is going to translate on stage.
