Mushroomhead and Hed PE Knitting Factory Spokane Wa
8:18 here way late. Bad cold, tired. Just shitty. But looks like mushroom head is up next.
9:20 have you ever been inside the new master piece? Worth the 9 years of waiting to hear this song live.
9:47 the one thing about wanting to see something for so long and from a band that mainly tours the midwest and east coast it can go extremely well or be horrible. Let me just say MH was fn amazing. They did not disappoint. When they came out they were compared to slipknot being called second rate. That is in no way true, they put a lot out for the fans giving us there all. The lead singer even stage dived into the crowd. When was the last time you saw Slipknot do that? 99? Great fucking performance and the mosh cleard my sinuses. He'd Pe coming up
10:29 HED PE! What?!
10:34 oh ah we want some hed ohah we want some hed!
10:56 "Hed Pe isn't just about choking a bitch and slammin her head into the head board come bitch come"
Final Review - So In all I have to say I really enjoyed the show as a whole. Mushroomhead by far being the better of the two bands. I like Hed PE and they have good crowd interaction. But One thing that will always annoy me about a band and really makes me less interested in their show is bring up politic and world conspiracies at a rock concert. After they played a few songs from their early albums and then started bringing up where the world is going 1 world economies, aliens, etc. I really lost a lot of interest in the show.
Mushroomhead though, great vibe. They kept coming at us with more and more energy in each song ensuring the crowd was still with them. A thing about a band that contains 8 members is making everything they do sound good together. With a Guitarist, bassist, drummer, 2 percussionist, a Keyboardist and 2 vocalist it's a lot to fit into a song.
I really did enjoy though the two secondary percussionist, they were on either sides of the stage playing on drums that appeared to have strobes below them that went with the drum hits. They kept in time with each other and was very synchronized. In songs that didnt have the additional percussionist they did various things such as an additional keyboardist or running around on stage with a camcorder, which according to the band this performance was broadcasted online which I will need to locate and post.
I think given a little more time to really catch up on new Mushroomhead Songs, sadly most of the songs I knew and was able to sing-a-long too were off their first CD and from soundtracks I purchased. Oddly seeing Mushroomhead in Spokane, Spokane was were I found a used copy of the first release of the Mushroomhead (Approx 10,000 copies of this CD were printed before being signed). I think their newer stuff has gotten a little edgier but also a little more solid, given that more time to really listen to the songs I would love to see them in concert again. I hope that the do tour the west coast again because I know normally they do only tour the midwest.
Anyways, pictures from my phone during the show are below. I'm currently uploading my Pics to Picasa now from my camera. Next Show is Taproot this Thursday in Kennewick. Then off a couple weeks til Coheed and Cambria in Portland first week of May.

Deftones Crystal Ballroom
9:03pm Living it up in Portland. Had a couple beers and chit chated with a couple really nice couples about music for the show. Deftones expected to play 10pm for a two hour set. Fuck yeah
11:17 Passenger how it should be a heavy duet. Chino and the lead singer of Dillenger Escape Plan. Oh my fuck
11:55 leaving portland almost 2 hours of deftones full review when I get back.
So review of the Show. Deftones probably one of the best bands I've seen live. The Three times I've seen them it's always a fantastic show. It was definitely the best show so far of 2011.
What I really liked most about the show was the constant energy that the Deftones have. Even with slower songs such are Change, they still pull in just so much energy from the crowd. There wasn't one song that the crowd wasnt moving.
The setlist spanned over the Deftones entire career playing songs from all their albums. Most of the songs came from Diamond Eyes, White Pony and Around the Fur. This was the second show in Portland, and looking at the set list from the nigh before they had played the same songs they had at other stops. The Second show though seemed like it was songs they wouldnt normally play so it was awesome to hear those songs.
The setlist ran just under 2 hours with the show wrapping up just before midnight. The song I really enjoyed the most was Passenger ft. Dillenger Escape Plan lead singer Greg Puciato. Definitely was no Maynard James Keenan but he still did a great job performing the song. When I saw the Deftones in October and Chino did the song solo it just wasnt the same with the over lapping parts. Seeing it performed as a duet really really made me happy and it was well done start to finish.
As I band I would definitely recommend to anyone to see live. I would definitely see them again the future. With the tour being the Diamond Eyes NA tour, they did go heavy on the Diamond Eyes tracks, so maybe another tour where the songs were a little more even amongst the albums, possibly more off Deftones or Saturday Night Wrist would make for a perfect Deftones show.
Tomorrow I'm off to Spokane too see the Hed to Head tour with Hed PE and Mushroomhead. It should be a cool show really hoping that Mushroomhead wont disappoint. I've wanted to see them since 2002 so here is to 9 years of Anticipation. Live Blog Tomorrow night, be sure to check back.
Oh Yeah also checkout the photos from the show I got a few good ones, but with as much moving around as Chino does and staying still in a constantly moving mosh pit.

Time Will See Us Re-Allign. Diamonds Rain Across the Sky
I love impromptu adventures for a concert. Looks like tomorrow I will be heading back to Portland for the Deftones. If the Seattle setlist indicates the mix of songs being played, it's going to be amazing.

Another Week of Ticket Purchases.
Well this week is just another full week of buying concert tickets. Purchased ticket to Taproot here at the local venue Rock Reactor the place looks promising with already hosting Sublime with Rome a couple months ago, it might get some alright names to come through similar to El Corizon or Studio 7 in Seattle. Should be fun small show taking me back to 2002.
Purchased Lollpalooza tickets today 121 days left. Missed out on the early bird tickets though stupid Browser issues and the website stalling to get "In Line" for 10 minutes this morning. So Paid 215$ for the three day passed compared to the $185. Oh well Chicago will still be a blast and I cant wait for the experience. Only thing left now is the plane tickets and the town car =].
Then this Friday Pre-sale tickets for Mayhem Festival start. The second stage bands are meh this year a couple I'll enjoy, but mostly looking forward to co-headliner Godsmack. I have wanted to see them for a very very long time so with all that said another easy 300$ dropped on tickets this week. This is starting to get expensive. Also Monday is Rise Against and Bad Religion in Portland so check back monday for the live blog.
Later - FatmaN
