The Cult

I guess all of them were awsome in concert. Alice Cooper and Beastie Boys were my two favorites probably. Meat Loaf was good but pretty short. They ended with Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones which was strange. They didnt do Two out of Three ain't Bad. There was two other hot chicks singing with him (which looked weird because here are two 25 year old hottees with this 59 year old fat guy). They blew a kiss to me and my brother (I was in the front row). Foreigner didnt do any of that new crap that most bands are doing now. They just played straigt forward without messing up at all. Here are there setlist:

  1. Double Vision
  2. Head Games
  3. Cold as Ice
  4. Dirty White Boy
  5. Feels Like the First Time
  6. Urgent
  7. Juke Box Hero
  8. Hot Blooded

Yeah, they went by fast.Styx was good but as usual were pretty strange. They just played a couple hits then left. This is their setlist.

  1. Blue Collar Man
  2. Grand Illusion
  3. Too much Time on my Hands
  4. Fooling Yourself
  5. Miss America
  6. Come Sail Away
  7. Renegade

Thaey went by even quicker after them this Boston news reporter was behind us. We talked to her but not to much. Then Def Leppard came. They were a bit longer. This is their setlist.

  1. Rocket
  2. Animal
  3. Exitable
  4. Foolin'
  5. Mirror, Mirror
  6. Another Hit and Run
  7. Love Bites
  8. Rock On
  9. Two Steps Behind
  10. Bringin' on the Heartbreak
  11. Switch 625
  12. Hysteria
  13. Armageddon It
  14. Photograph
  15. Pour Some Sugar on me
  16. Rock of Ages

See? That was much longer. Def Leppard was my favorite out of them. They also did this tribite to Boston(band) and played More Then a Feeling.

Fogerty was great. He did 29 songs in 3 hours. We saw him at the Orpheam. This is his setlist:

  1. River is Waiting
  2. Good Golly Miss Molly

Scott Weiland

I just thought of putting an article about Scott Weiland here. The reason I am is because of his hair. When he was in Stone Temple Pilots he sort of kept his hair one style. But when he was in Velvet Revolver he changes is pretty much every week. Thats what I want to

Scott Weiland with a really bad haircut
Scott Weiland with a really bad haircut

do with my hair when I grow up. It would seem pretty fun.

Animated Shows


Beavis and Butt-head Butt-headprofile.jpg| Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg|

Beavis and Butt-head was the first animated show I watched. It is hilarious and funny and the reason it is so good is because they do nothing but walk around and be stupid and it still works. It only went on for 3 years with only 3 seasons which was sad but will always be memorable with the short time it had. For more information type in Beavis and Butt-head in Wikipedia.

Celebrity Deathmatch Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg

Celebrity Deathmatch was always really interesting to me because to see celebritys made out of clay fight was really cool because you never new who was going to win. The show went on for four years then stopped for a while then came back with a better version in 2005. It hasnt been coming on in a while for some strange reason but with 103 episodes it went on for a while.

My Songs

SKELETON


Oh my bones are rattling Oh my limbs are scattering Oh baby now im just a skeleton Oh baby now im just a skeleton

Oh baby now your just in my face telling what to do. And then finally you know how I feel and then your feeling bad too.

I gotta get what I want real fast or im gonna lose And then I find out that its not so bad and I can get what I choose

Oh my bones are rattling Oh my limbs are scattering Oh Im a skeleton Oh baby now im just a skeleton

Oh Im a skeleton Oh just a skeleton

Im Skele Skeleton Just a Skele Skeleton

GET UP AND DONT DIE

To find what is going on. I first find what's only gone. I don't think I can stand out in the rain 'cause I don't need to. Going out on a trip when I don't know where I'm going. Stop and think, don't look back. There might be something you don't lack. It's deadly. Not time to die yet. Noone thinks it's time yet. Then you always get what you get. You get up and don't die. You just get up and don't die. Get up, get up, get up, and dont die

You think it's not hard when it is. You think and think when it's his. Facts are facts, walls are walls I am me so I do what I want. I get up and don't die. I get up and don't die.

I keep running and running from my victims. I get up and don't die


MY LIFE

My nails aren't clipped, my fingers are long. this is the part when I sing this song. My heart is black. My hair is long. I have a gun in my pocket, I don't need King Kong My fist is big. My teeth are sharp. I have a devil and angel without a harp. My window is broken, my walls are torn. I prick myself with a thorn. Then I see my blood, I don't wipe it off. I am used to it when I cough. My diary is filled with secrets without any dreams. I have a sweaty smell, I never get creamed. I always stay inside listening to my radio. I go up or down, up or down, up or down, up or down up or down up or down up or down (he has symbols inbetween the up or downs where he says this is the chorus)

and much more.

Rock Years

A big part of my life is rock. What would I do without it? Im not like a lot of people who just likes certain kinds of rock. I like Classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, death metal and a lot other kinds. I actually made a list of all the bands I know. I came up with 450. 450. It was definatly more than I expected. This is not a timeline of rock. It is a timeline about how I grew up with rock. Here it is.

AC/DC

It all started here. I was 8 years old. The only band I knew was Johnny Cash. I was riding in my dads truck. I heard the song Thunderstruck and it blew me away. Just because of that song just because my dad told me the name of the band was AC/DC, it was my favorite band ever. For my birthday I got a live AC/DC album and I heard the other songs and I was stunned. I looked it up, I got a bunch more albums and I learned all about it. Back in Black is an amazing song, definetly there best, You Shook me all Night Long is awsome, Hells Bells is awsome but then I learned about about Bon Scott. Of Course, that was all three years ago so I now know everything there is about AC/DC. I learned that if I heard a completley different AC/DC song by Brian Johnson that I didnt know then I would know it was AC/DC. But if I heard T.N.T on the radio then I wouldnt have a clue. I riding in my car and Jailbreak was on. My dad said "Oh, AC/DC" and cranked it up of course I didnt know what happened to Brian Johnsons voice, if he was choking himself or if he was on heroin. After that I knew everything about Bon Scott. AC/DC was on me for a whole year until I heard a song that was better then ever.
