    Regardless of how many of you hate them or think they're a wannabe rock band, they pretty damn good. The support band, Vex Red are well good, and definitely have a future. They did a cool metal version of 'Genie in a Bottle', which was nice :)
    Aaron Lewis has a brilliant voice, he was in tune all the way through, unlike some others (RHCP) and was pretty damn good at gettin the crowd goin. So love 'em or hate 'em this tour will seriously raise their fan base and their critical respect :) Damn good :D

    I'm sorry but musically that was one of the most boring gigs I have ever seen. Have guitar solo's been banned from rock music? I'll put up a longer reply later.

    Great gig! i loved it - Mike rocked out with his mad stance with a guitar. Aaron was cool and layed back, and when the croud finished our little verse during "Outside" he said "That was fu<king Beautiful" :). Johnny got his high pitched voice in action during "Its Been a while" and Jon the drums in perfect key!
    The Band were great and the ticket was worth every penny/cent :p
    As usuall, the mosh pit sucked a$$ because the point seperates the crowd in 2 and 15 year old girls will be crushed, so we couldnt go all out.

    The Concert was well planned out, and everything was right on key. Just when i started to get knackered from the mosh, the concert was slowed down with the smooth acustic sounds to sooth our aching bodies for 2 songs, which was then followed by mudshouvel - to start the rockin up again.

    I have to say though - VexRed sucked a$$... I Cried out "Get off the stage!" and some dumb fool from behind pushed me saying "Shut up "man" Puddle Of Mud are cool".
    Just showed how much he knew :p

    The Fanj - As far as lead guitar goes, your looking at the wrong type of rock music... if you are looking for lead - i recommend VanHalen or Eric Claptain. But speaking bad of Staind wont be tolerated :)

    reD.

    bit of a sad state of affairs really when a staind gig merits a thread but the greatest gig of the year Brian Wilson on friday gets no mention.

    that is all.
