So on Tuesday evening I skipped my guitar lesson as I was offered a free ticket to the Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age show.

QOTSA sucked. I'm not a particular fan of their records but I really thought they would be better than they were live. I thought wrong, apparently.

Nine Inch Nails was awesome. Lots of lights…apparently there was a video show on the screen but we couldn't see it from where we were sitting. My really stoned friend told me this so it could be nothing more than speculution.

The set list was something…

This show was actually on Sunday. I've been really busy.

Hammer (Japan) was awesome. I was really impressed. I was going to pick up their LP but found out I had overdrawn my checking account so I couldn't.

SUCK.

Caustic Christ was amazing. They played both of their songs from the tour only 7" and if you don't have it—you should definitely try to find it. They played a bunch of other stuff too. The crowd was going nuts and it was a good time.

I'm hoping to see converge tonight. I'm hearing that the show might be sold out and I hope it's not true because I think I'm missing class to see this—and I'd feel like a double loser if I missed class to sit in the bar and be upset about not seeing converge.

My head is pounding.

I accidently say cursed tonight and it was neat. I am glad that I wasn't so drunk I won't remember.

My friend was very drunk and it was kind of a shit night otherwise.

But cursed was damn good. I love the triple rock.

We missed most of the opening act. It wasn't regrettable because from what we heard, lupara (Chicago) was completely unremarkable. They weren't bad or anything. They just weren't exactly good and they were not anything new or exciting.

Dead to Fall, on the other hand, blew both Aaron and myself away. They put on an amazing show. They played a new tune, which sounds distinctly different from their older stuff–but it's radical anyway. I ended up purchasing both of their albums. It was a damn good investment, if I may say so myself.

Napalm Death tore the shit out…

Tuesday @ First Avenue

This is going to be great. I haven't been to a metal show in a long time.

That's right. Pelican really, really sucks. I've decided that I needed to write this because I haven't seen anyone else write it yet.

Pelican sucks.

Knock it off.
