Morning all, well, ok it is actually nearer 3:30pm but hey- who's counting and who cares?!

Troy and I went to Wembley last night to see Nickelback, of whom I've wanted to see for a few years now, ever since we were introduced to them via 'How you remind me'.  Ever since that song I've worked backwards and listened to Curb and The State and obviously the albums that came later on.  Out of all the albums I'd say the raw talent shown in these two early albums are the best.  You can imagine the evenings/weekends spent jamming in someone's garage trying out sounds and riffs before taking the jump of going into the sound studios.  So basically the music and fun that exists before management and record companies dictate the sound and looks produced.

 

Moving on to last night; it was great to find out that the support band was in fact Staind, and man did they play.  The guitarist was blantly on drugs and in doing so, acting like some heavy metal mental patient.  That aside, the band had some cracking tunes and were very entertaining.  They're playing in The Astoria in Jan next year and the way they played- I advise everyone to watch them.  Cracking stuff. 

 

When Nickelback came on they made an entrance let's say; fireworks, flowing sheets and groovy tunes.  Did I mention that they fired T shirts on the crowd and chucked beer on everyone in the mosh pit?  No?  Well now I did.  It was a great night and my only regret is that public transport being what it is that we had to leave early at 10.20  everything was still in full flow, such a shame.  Next time play in Danson Park, Bexleyheath guys ok?  The Moskow State Circus can, so hey- why the hell not?! lol

 

Overall, great night guys.  Would see you again next time you are over here, you exciteable creatures!  nice drum solo mate, very impressive, and Mr K- cute.
