Been wildly inactive for nearly a year now. Had computer issues and wasn't too into getting my computer fixed for like the 4th time. So I just went on hiatus here and only posted periodically or got exp.

But I got myself a laptop today. So hey. Guess I'm back.

Looking forward to starting to post and talk to people on here again. Really missed it ._.

My sister and I went on and did 5 songs. We ended up changing our setlist. We expanded it to 7 then had to cut it down at short notice due to the first actual band taking forever to set up.
We played: Bad Moon Rising, Butthole Surfers - TV Star, Science Fiction Double Feature, Do You Realize?? by Flaming Lips, and Last Kiss. We had to cut out the songs About A Girl and Cover Of The Rolling Stone.


After that my cousin and his gf's sister went on. I DO NOT like her. At all. She dresses like a skank all the fucking time and thinks shes the best singer ever. She isn't. And it's very apparent. Shes like one of those people who auditions for American Idol and doesn't even get past the auditioning phase because they just all around suck. Anyways. They did I wanna say 4 songs. All of them "newer" songs that are crappy Top 40 stuff and a random Green Day song. And she can't sing in the correct key for those.


After they were on the first band (Momentum) went on. They play rock music from the 60s and 70s. Mostly stuff like The Hollies, Ringo Starr, Beatles, Blues Brothers kinda stuff. I introduced a guitarist of the band the 13th Floor Elevators since they're from the same time period of stuff they play. And he seemed really interested in em. So who knows. Maybe they'll play a song by em or something. They use all vintage gear (aside maybe drums) and even have those really old 40-50s mics. You know the ones I'm talking about.


Anyways. Then at the end of the night  my old guitar teacher's band went on. They play 70s-now hard rock and are called Vinyl Tap. They were playing stuff like Aerosmith, ACDC, Simple Minds (you know....the song at the end of The Breakfast Club), Queen, Rolling Stones, etc. It was fun. And I was headbanging like crazy and now my neck still hurts from it. I was also slam dancing and jumping all around and doing stuff while they were on. I really only did it cause no one else other than my sister and our friend Hannah were doing anything. So my doing that got a huge group of other people to come over and dance too and it made the rest of the night fun for everyone else.

Theres video of the whole night. But as far as I know my uncle hasn't uploaded it anywhere.

On the 2nd of next month I'm going to be playing an acoustic set with my sister at a benefit for our aunt. She is in the middle of dealing with cancer and we're having the benefit to try raising money to cover medical bills.

At the moment my sister and I are going to be playing 6 songs (maybe more) and those songs are:

Science Fiction Double Feature from Rocky Horror Picture Show


The Saga Of Jesse Jane by Alice Cooper


Bad Moon Rising by CCR


About A Girl by Nirvana


Wooden Song by Butthole Surfers


and Easy Livin' by Uriah Heep

Woo I'm offically 21 now. Yippie for me. I can technically drink legally now. But I don't really want to. Doesn't sound all that appealing to me to be honest.

Not much else to say I guess. My last post was up for nearly 4 months and not a whole lot happened from then til now. Other than I have a girlfriend now. We've been "going out" since like mid-February but we weren't officially going out til March 8th.

We went on a short birthday date thingy on Saturday because she lives like 2 hours away from here and can only come over on the weekends. We went bowling and ate lunch at Wendy's (haha). Then I came back home and she gave me a dozen Red Velvet cupcakes that she made for me. I still have like 3 left. And on Saturday I have a birthday party to go to for my Grandma. Who I happen to share my birthday with. Though the party is pretty much just for her. Though we were told that we can still bring a cake or whatever for me too.

Just going to start off saying that I never listened to that first band before going to the concert. After listening to them at the concert I find them pretty awesome. If you want to listen to them heres a link to their bandcamp.

This is how my day started.
I got like an hour of sleep yesterday morning. For some reason I felt like taking a 2 hour long shower at roughly 1 in the morning. Then I sat up til around 4:30 and fell asleep in my bed with a towel wrapped around my head and woke up with completely dry and soft hair. After doing papers from 6 - 11 I got home and my dad kept telling me to go get some sleep because I pretty much got none. I ended up falling asleep at 2ish and got another 3 1/2 hours of sleep in and somehow managed to not over sleep and miss the concert.

I left home with my sister at around 5:30 and made it to the town the concert was in at around 6:30. So it was about an hour drive. Give or take a couple minutes.

So we get to the venue and go and park in this parking garage near the building and walk down the street to the venue.
The doors were supposed to open at 7 so we had to stand outside and wait for them to open. But they decided to dick around in the building and not let anyone in til almost a half hour after they were supposed to. So me and my sister stood around outside in line to get inside the building for almost an hour and (with wind chill) the temp was below freezing.

When we finally made it into the building I immediately went to the merch table to see what they had there. At the time I bought a shirt of The Sword's. It's a large "Hidden Masters" shirt. I got a chance to look around at Clutch and American Sharks merch tables too but didn't feel like getting anything from either at the time. After we left the merch table we got back to where we decided we wanted to stand during the show. Which was pretty close to the stage. And by that I don't mean we were like right in the front. There were like 4 rows of people in front of us and then there was a gap and then the stage. Well when we got back to our spot my sister decides to ask me to go back and get her a shirt because she couldn't do it herself while we were there. She got a small "Hawks & Serpents" shirt.

After that we just stayed where we were before when we got back to our spot. Though more and more people started pouring into the building by that time.

So finally after being in there for a half hour the lights went down a bit and the band American Sharks came on.
I'll be honest here. I had no fucking idea who they were when I initially saw they were going to be playing. But they were actually pretty good. While we were going home my sister said that the singer/bassist apparently "looks like me".
I don't really see it. This be he by the way.

Back onto the concert stuff.
American Sharks were only on for a little under 30 minutes. Which surprised me to be honest. It didn't feel like it was 30 minutes. I can't get a copy of what their set list was but I'm fairly certain it was just a run through of their first and so far only album which is also titled "American Sharks". After every other song the singer kept talking about how he was "talking to Kyle Shutt (guitarist of The Sword) in his "ear piece"" and how Kyle had some disease and that it was all over the major news networks like: CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera..... he later revealed that Kyle's disease is what doctors call "Tit-to-mouth". And that Kyle "needs to suck on all dem titties" haha. After they finished both me and my sister agreed that they were pretty good and I decided I'd go get a CD of theirs at their merch table after The Sword's set.

While we were standing around someone was up onstage checking The Sword's equipment and was doing a sound check to make sure everything was working properly. While this was going on the dude who was next to me said to someone else in the crowd "Hey The Sword have only one guy checking all their instruments. How economical." or something along the lines of that.
Afterwards people slowly approach the front area of the crowd The Sword finally came on at I wanna say 9.
I can't remember what their set list was to be honest. This is their "average" set list according to setlist.fm but I know for a fact they didn't play these songs in this order.
Apocryphon
Cloak of Feathers
How Heavy This Axe
Tres Brujas
The Hidden Masters
The Veil of Isis
Freya
Arrows in the Dark
Dying Earth
Maiden, Mother & Crone
To Take the Black
Seven Sisters

In addition to that they played Lawless Lands but didn't play To Take The Black. Throughout the tour they were kinda half and half when it came to shows with encores and we unfortunately caught em when they didn't feel like doing one. Though when it came to encores they varied depending on what they did during their set and other times they covered Working Man by Rush or Cheap Sunglasses by ZZ Top.

Right when the song Tres Brujas (third to last song) was about to start this dude decided he'd go in front of me and the dude who was standing next to me. While The Sword were playing the song the dude started jumping up and down and attempted to start a mosh pit even though Mosh Pits aren't allowed in the building. The dude was getting so annoying that the dude next to me kept trying to move him out of the way because he was blocking both mine and his view of almost the entire stage. And it got the point where he full on shoved him because he wouldn't stop. Then before things got "serious" someone behind me got in between em and broke up anything that may or may not have happened.

After The Sword finished me and my sister were standing for a couple minutes and then she asked if I wanted to stick around for Clutch because she wasn't a big fan of em and because she was getting really tired and whatnot and I told her it was up to her since she was my ride to and from there. We ended up deciding on moving further back and went back to the merch table because there were a few more things I wanted to get while I was there. I got a Sword poster and an American Sharks CD. While I was walking to the merch table the guitarist from American Sharks was walking away from the merch table to I went and shook his hand and said that they did really good and he said thanks. The drummer from American Sharks was at the merch table and he was the one who gave me my CD.
Also this is the Sword poster I got. Blah blah. They only made 90 of em and mines #74.

After I got all my stuff me and my sister were kinda just hanging around in a VERY crowded room because I'm fairly certain about 80% of the people who went to the show came just for Clutch. We decided we'd stick around for a couple of Clutch's songs and then go. We ended up leaving after the second one.

While we were heading back to the car I turned to my sister and point blank told her "Ya know. I don't really trust any part of Joliet at night." (the show was at Mojoes in Joliet, Illinois). To which she replied that she only trusts the parts of Joliet that are near the mall because thats the general area in which shes more familiar with.

So we got in the car and started the long trek home. While on our way home she asked me if I had anything to eat during the day and at that moment I realized I ate pretty much nothing at all so we stopped off and Taco Bell (because she had to go to the bathroom) at like 11 at night and I got a chicken taco and one of those chicken griller things. She got 2 of these cheese rollup things (It's pretty much just cheese inside of a taco shell) and some nachos.
When we were leaving the Taco Bell parking lot I said something about how my griller felt bigger than the ones i normally get and thats because they pretty much filled it with nothing but chicken. Which was fucking awesome.
And I don't know how but my sister somehow forgot that I had that and thought I only got a chicken taco even though I had her hold onto the griller when I got my taco out of the bag of stuff.
We also passed by a cop who was parked waiting for people who were breaking the law to pass by so he could stop em and she was going 10 mph over the speed limit and I didn't have my seat belt on and he didn't do anything. He even looked right at us while we were going by too. Then we got home at about midnight and then I got onto Newgrounds to see if I missed anything while I was gone.
So thats pretty much all of what happened.

Just going to say right now it was an amazing show. Granted I would have liked Bill Ward playing drums but the drummer they got sitting in there (Tommy Clufetos or however the hell you spell his last name) was still pretty good.

It was like maybe a 45-50 minute drive up northwest to where the show was in Tinley Park. Me and my sister were driving up there to meet up with her friend and she was going to hop in my sister's car and then we'd drive the rest of the way there (like another 10 or so minutes). On the way there we nearly missed our exit because there was a semi in front of us and we could hardly see anything on either side of it because well....it was a semi. Semis are kinda big haha.
Earlier in the day my sister and I went to a mall nearish to here and we were going to see if we could find her a Black Sabbath shirt to wear there since she didn't have one. The only ones we could find that would fit her cost too much and didn't look all that great. Well while we were in the mall we decided to stop off at F.Y.E. and I finally got my hands on a copy of Master Of Reality on CD. Though they fucked up the track times for Solitude and Into The Void (it said Solitude was 8 minutes long and Into The Void was 3, when Solitude is like 5 minutes and Into The Void is a little over 6). They had a "buy one get one half-off" on regular priced CDs and I was thinking about grabbing another Sabbath album because they had all of the Ozzy Sabbath albums there but I just went with Master Of Reality.
Now back onto the concert stuff.

We arrived at the venue like 2 hours before anyone was even going on! I honestly have no idea why we had to show up so early... So we were kinda roaming around the parking lot for about 10-15 minutes then found a gate to get into the place and stood there for another 20 or so minutes. Then they decided to open the gate up and let us in. Right as soon as we got in there was beer, beer, beer, and more beer all around us....which isn't really surprising since it was a concert and a Sabbath concert at that. So we decided to walk past all that and go to the lawn but while we were walking over there I noticed out of the corner of my eye that at the merch table they had a Black Sabbath shirt that has a giant pot leaf on it. So I said to my sister that she should totally go over there and buy it, haha.
We got to the lawn at little past I think it was 6. And we got some pretty decent "seats" there. We were right on the edge of the lawn and like 20 or so feet away from the actual seating area. Then while we were waiting for Andrew W.K. to come on they pretty much played through an entire ACDC live show. Then after we were standing there for like another hour or so and DJ WK (Andrew W.K. was just doing DJ stuff so me and sister called him DJ WK) finally came out. And all he did the entire time (for a little under an hour) was just stand there barely moving at all and play music. The only thing he did other than that was he told the audience that he had a t-shirt gun and was going to shoot it off into the crowd. Which he did. Like 3 times. All in relatively the same spot. All I can remember of the stuff he played was Electric Eye, Raining Blood, Cum On Feel The Noize (the Slade version), some Pantera song, Seek And Destroy, and an Iron Maiden song. My sister didn't recognize Electric Eye when he started playing it and turned to me and asked "Is this Iron Maiden?" to which I gave her a very weird look and told her "No. This is Judas Priest!" and then she felt stupid for asking and nearly fell over laughing at herself.
Then when DJWK's "set" was about over he kept yelling out to the crowd that we were "having an almost once in a life-time opportunity to see "The Greatest Heavy Metal Band Of All Time"". And I think people were mostly cheering because they wanted him off the stage so Sabbath could play, hahaha.

I'm going to start off by saying this. All the time during Sabbath's set Ozzy kept yelling the following multiple times to the crowd. Let me see your hands!, Hows everyone doing nothing?, How are WE doing tonight?, Put your hands up you fuckers!, and stuff like that constantly through every song. Also like halfway through the set I had this obnoxius drunk dude behind me who wouldn't stop shouting "YEAH!" and "FUCK YEAH!!!" through the rest of the songs. Most of the time it was at really weird times too. Like even at slower parts where people weren't cheering as loud. I also think he was the person who splashed what I'm pretty sure was beer all over my back -_-

Then after he finished some people came and put this giant black curtain up in front of the stage. Then a giant version of Black Sabbath's winged devil logo shown on the curtain. And Ozzy came out onstage and started laughing into the mic and everyone started cheering. The lights went down. Then, sirens started going off and red lights went on onstage with the curtain up. Then Tony Iommi walked onstage and played a power chord and held it for awhile and went right into War Pigs. In the background of the stage there was a big screen showing the band playing with two of Black Sabbath's devil logos on either side of it. While they were playing War Pigs they were showing "war related" footage on the big screen behind them. After War Pigs was finished they went straight into Into The Void. While they were playing they moved the camera onto Tony and since he was standing where he was the screen showed like 5 Tony Iommis on it. After they finished Into The Void they announced they were playing Under The Sun/Every Day Comes And Goes. I wanna say it was during either that or Snowblind he grabbed a random jester hat and was running around onstage with it on and after a bit threw it out into the crowd. After that Ozzy went up to the mic and said something along the lines of "This next song is about something we used to do all the time when we were starting off. We used to take truckloads of this stuff. Its a song about...COCAINE!" and then they started playing Snowblind. My sister was filming the show on her phone but her battery started dying after Under The Sun so she missed recording anything from Snowblind til the end of the show... When Snowblind finished Ozzy announced they were playing something off their new album and then they started playing Age Of Reason. After they finished Ozzy announced "next we're playing one of the first songs we ever wrote" and then they went straight into Black Sabbath. Everyone in the crowd started singing along with Ozzy during it and at points it was so loud you couldn't even hear Ozzy they had footage of an insanely pale chick with her mouth stitched up walking around a graveyard playing while they were playing. After Black Sabbath finished they started playing Behind The Wall Of Sleep. And to be honest I think I was one of the only people in the crowd singing along to it o.O After that Geezer walked over to one side of the stage and the camera went over to him and Ozzy shouted "ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Geezer Butler!" and the camera moved to his foot and showed him using a wah pedal because he was playing the intro to N.I.B. (its technically called "Bassically" but whatever). When they started that everyone started singing along again, haha. When N.I.B. they announced they were playing another "new" song and they started playing End Of The Beginning after which they started playing Jack The Stripper/Fairies Wear Boots and they had footage of half naked chicks dancing around and some were wearing fairy costumes. To be honest I am kinda curious as to where they got all the footage they showed.... Fairies Wear Boots ended and Ozzy said he was leaving stage and that the other members were playing Rat Salad. The Tony, Geezer, and Tommy technically only played the first half of Rat Salad before Tony and Geezer left as well leaving Tommy all alone hahaha. Tommy decided that he was going to stick around for as long as he could and played a like 8 minute long drum solo during which Ozzy announced "Mr. Tommy Clufetos everybody!" like 3 times. For the last like 20 or so seconds of his drum solo he was just hitting the bass pedal and the other band members came back onstage. They then started playing Iron Man. Though Ozzy when it came to the second verse he didn't sing. He just sang "Oooh Oh Ohohoh Ohohohohohoh Ohohoh" to tune of the song. Then they played God Is Dead? and people started freaking out almost as much as they were to Iron Man or Black Sabbath. When Ozzy announced that they were playing that I guess he forgot what was next and said something like "and now were playing...um...fuck..." then the lights dimmed a bit and Ozzy started singing something about Chicago. Then they started playing God Is Dead? After which they then started playing Dirty Women. In the background it showed nothing but scenes of chicks either topless, taking their shirts off, completely naked, dressed like 50's Pin-ups, and in one instance dressed in leather and whipping another chick. Needless to say I'm actually kinda surprised that (as far as I know) there weren't any chicks in the crowd taking their shirts off to that too xD I was actually very surprised to see they were playing that song since pretty much no one likes Technical Ecstasy. Then when that fun stuff was done Ozzy announced they were playing the last song of the night. And the only way they were going to be playing anything else is if the crowd "went fucking crazy!"after which the lights onstage went down and a single light shown on Tony and he started playing a bit of Embryo but then just started playing Children Of The Grave. I finally got my sister to headbang when they played that because thats her favorite Sabbath song. While they were playing Children Of The Grave some staff people came over to were we were and told this dude who kept standing on the fence and headbanging and fist pumping to EVERY SONG to stop or else they were going to kick him out. After they walked away he started doing it again anyways, hahaha. Right before I wanna say it was Children Of The Grave Ozzy went up to the mic and said "Hows everyone doing tonight? How are WE doing tonight? Should we do this again!?" and after every question everyone in the crowd just shouted random shit and no one answered him hahaha. After Children Of The Grave finished they left the stage. And a bunch of people thought the show was over. Until after like a minute Tony came back onstage and then Ozzy and they did the same thing they did with Children Of The Grave with the stage dark and a single light on Tony and then Ozzy said "Mr. Tony Iommi!" Tony then proceeded to play the intro to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and the rest of the band got into it and after about a minute they all stopped. Tony held onto the last power chord and slowly slid his hand up the neck and started playing Paranoid. Now I mentioned earlier that everyone was going crazy while they were playing Black Sabbath. But I can't even describe how crazy they went for Paranoid. Everyone was thrashing around singing along fist pumping and headbanging while they were playing that. They decided to extend the ending a bit and Tony went a tad crazy soloing right after the song was supposed to have finished. When the song finished they all stood together in the middle of the stage and took a bow then left. After which they played Zeitgeist through the speakers while the lights came back on.

When they finished I turned around and noticed that a LARGE chunk of the people that were behind me had left and that the ground was covered in empty beer cans, cigarette butts, plastic cups, and other misc. crap that was just littered all over the place. Halfway through the show my sister's friend's boyfriend showed up and she introduced him to both me and my sister. When the concert was over our friend had him take a pic of the 3 of us and I couldn't stop making weird faces (and it wasn't even on purpose either o.O) and we just kept the second pic that was taken. After that we stood around chatting for a bit and walked out. While doing so someone kept shouting "WHO HERE LIKES JUSTIN BEIBER!?" and our friends boyfriend Greg said "I do!" so I went to my sister "I think that guy is a "Belieber" haha." then that same dude started singing Total Eclipse Of The Heart and expected someone to sing along with him but no one did then a few seconds later Greg sang other line and then I just picked up were he left off but no one sang with me :c then Greg turned to me and said "Hey this guy knows the song!" while we were about to leave I glanced off to the side and noticed a dude in a Sleep shirt. So I went over to him, pointed directly at him, and said "Dude, I love your shirt!" and he said "Thanks! Sleep is awesome!" to which I said "Yeah!". Then when I turned around to rejoin the little group of people I was with I noticed they left me all alone -_- took me a bit to find them but I did. Then Greg was talking about how you almost never see any musicians anywhere near the parking lot. Though he said that he: saw John 5 walking around doing...John 5 stuff, he got hit in the head with a soccer ball by one of the members of One Direction, and nearly got hit with a tour bus driven by Rob Zombie.
We completely forgot where we were parked and spend a couple minutes looking for the car and didn't get out of the parking lot for like another 15 or so minutes and nearly got smashed into by some dud who didn't want to stop even though it was our turn to go. We got out of the parking lot in one piece (luckily). And started the long drive home. About halfway home my sister turned to me and told me to talk to her because she was falling asleep. Now needless to say I pretty much completely blank out when someone just tells me to talk to them. So I didn't know what to talk to her about. And we nearly crashed like 5 times on the highway... When we were coming up to a town that we were pretty acquainted with I suggested that we turn off there and then I'd drive the rest of the way home but she said no, and that she was already going to turn off there anyways because she wanted to get something to eat. So we ended up going to McDonalds at like a 1/4 after Midnight and obviously the place was pretty much deserted. Even with that in mind it took forever for them to get around to getting my order. When I got out to the car my sister was nearly asleep and was startled when I opened the door and when I got in the car I realized I didn't grab any straws. So I had to go back in and get some and when I was leaving the building someone I know drove by and I waved but I guess they didn't notice me. While we were driving home I decided to eat what I ordered and well....I haven't eaten anything from McDonalds in years so I forgot what it tasted like and when I took a bite into my sandwich it tasted kinda bad ._. but I kept eating it because I didn't want to waste when my food. We finally got home at like 1 in the morning. And I didn't go to bed til around 3 because I was browsing around on here to see what I missed in the BBS and to vote stuff in the portal and get my exp.
I then passed out at like 3:10 and got like 2 1/2 hours of sleep before I had to wake up in the morning.

And thats it.
I couldn't take any pics because my phone was dying and my zoom is really crappy.

Just going to start of saying it was a fairly decent ride there (took like 1 1/2 hours). But when we got there we ended up driving around for a bit trying to find a place for parking to get in there. Then we ended up waiting for like 15 minutes in line just so we could get in the building.

The opening band (whose name escapes me at the moment) was terrible! They were this Emo band that I've never heard of and none of us (as in my family) knew they were going to play because there wasn't anything saying they were going to be going on. During their set the singer shouted out to the crowd that she wasn't to "hear some noise" and hardly anyone "made any noise" hahaha. Then they ended their set with a butchered cover of Crazy On You by Heart.

Like 15-20 minutes later they finally started putting stuff up for Manson but they put up a giant black curtain so you couldn't see the stage. Then a few minutes later the lights went down and there were flashes of light behind the curtain and you could see Manson and the other members of the band walking around and when the curtain went down they started playing Angel With The Scabbed Wings. Then went into Disposable Teens and then No Reflection and The Dope Show. I can't for the life of me remember the rest of the set list. But I know they also played Sweet Dreams, Personal Jesus, Antichrist Superstar, mOBSCENE, The Beautiful People, and Rock Is Dead. The crowd went crazy when they started Antichrist Superstar (the second to last song). It got to the point where I heard more crowd than music hahaha. Then they managed to go crazier when they played The Beautiful People. During like 75% of his set this couple two rows in front of me kept standing up and made it hard to see him playing because they were moving around like crazy the whole time. Then (thankfully) they left after Manson was done. A bunch of other people left too....which I found weird since I felt Alice Cooper did a better job than Manson did. Then again like 80% of the people that went there mainly went to see Manson so...yeah.

Then it was Alice's turn onstage. Honestly he did better than both the opening act and Manson put together.
He opened with Hello Hooray then went into House Of Fire. After that he played No More Mr. Nice Guy, I'll Bite Your Face Off, Poison, Hey Stoopid, and Billion Dollar Babies (not necessarily in that order). After which he left the stage for a bit and came back on with a bloody lab coat and they did Feed My Frankenstein. Halfway through he had a mask put on him and was strapped to a table and was "electrocuted" and when the smoke cleared he was gone and this giant Frankenstein puppet that had someone in it showed up and sang the rest of the song. Afterwards he showed up back onstage with his snake singing Is It My Body. He has put into a straight jacket and sang Ballad Of Dwight Fry. During which two people (and Nurse Rosetta) came on stage the two other people kept grabbing him and he I guess shoved them away (i don't really know how to describe exactly what he was doing haha) and Nurse Rosetta was dancing around him onstage and then he managed to get his arms freed and tried strangling her. She the took out two syringes and stabbed him in the legs with em. One of the other people onstage grabbed him and then the other got out the guillotine. Alice was put in there and then was decapitated. After which him and the guillotine were carted away with Nurse Rosetta following behind, but one of the other people stayed onstage and was playing around with Alice's "head" while the rest of the band played I Love The Dead. Then Alice snuck back onstage dressed in a somewhat shiny jacket and top hat and played Welcome To My Nightmare.
Then the final song of Alice's set was Schools Out. Halfway through they started playing Another Brick In The Wall and they had a bunch of these giant inflated balloons fall from the ceiling and Alice took out a sword and started slashing them all up and a ton of glitter fell on the people in front of the stage. After which he introduced everyone on stage and at the end of introducing everyone he said "And playing the part of Alice Cooper.....*then all of the lights went off* ME!" then they finished Schools Out and left the stage. Everyone in the crowd was going crazy and cheering then the band came back on and started playing I'm Eighteen and Alice went on with this crutch under his arm. A bit into the song Marilyn Manson came back onstage and sang with them. Alice threw the crutch to Manson but Manson missed it and it hit the stage (haha) but other than that the song went on without any problems and then the concert was over.
Also there was A TON of confetti and it ended up all the way back where I was and I got some in my hair ._.
(I forgot to add this but I got some of the confetti that fell on me and kept it and its sitting on my desk)

Then when we went outside there were some protestors out there saying we were all going to hell because we went to that concert. To be honest. I'd rather go to hell than be in heaven with those people.

(I'd put up a picture from the show but I was kinda far away and my camera doesn't have a zoom on it so I had to use my sister's and the picture quality was really crappy)

Dragonaut

Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye
Flap the wings under Mars red sky
The reptile pushes itself out into space
Leaving behind, the human race

Swim inside the solar seas
The Nebula cries out to me
Passing where I've gone before
I fly on through the crimson door

Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye
Flap the wings under Mars red sky

The Druid

Far within the oaken tower
Exists the one with evil power
Magic channeler of earth's frustration
The Druid sleeps in meditation

Evil Gypsy / Solomon's Theme

Insect caravan pulls its way
Through the freezing and misty haze
Gypsy casts a spell of frost
Frozen solid our lives are paused

Glass village lies below
Castle of sleet with magic glow
Trapped inside icy glaze
The burning sunlight sheds its rays

Escape the tomb of deadly freeze
To the village of glass we have the keys
Ice people everywhere once inside
At home again the insects ride

Some Grass

Instrumental

Aquarian

Trapped inside a world under leagues of ocean
The clergy arrives with the magic potion

I put my mouth into the cup of potion
Sip down the nectar and escape the ocean

Reaching for the sun, leave Atlantis, escape the sea
Fly into the sky, leave behind Atlantean key
Reaching for the sun, leave Atlantis, escape the sea
Fly into the sky, leave behind Atlantean key

Escape the sea with ascending motion
I touch the sun and return to ocean

Holy Mountain

Slumber killed by rays of the new red sun arising
Dreamer wakens to spectral gaze of light rays shining
Black steed carries him across the astral sand
Rides along is the man from the magic caravan

I believe the signs of the reptile master
Sunbound spacepod rising faster
Earth drenched in black under starless sky above
Man on the mountain sets free the holy dove

Look onto the rays of the new stoner sun rising
Sonic Titan rides out on clouds of new horizon
Look onto the rays of the new stoner sun rising
Sonic Titan rides out on clouds of new horizon

Inside the Sun

Traveling toward the atomic sky
Passing through the wall of light we fly
To the center of the sun we go
Discovering secrets no one else has known
Within the center of the galaxy
Away from Earth and all its misery

Traveling toward the atomic sky
Passing through the wall of light we fly
Toward the center of the sun we go
Discovering secrets no one else has known
Within the center of the galaxy
Away from Earth and all its misery
Pressing on into the burning sky
Burning spaceship it's time to die

Our ship explodes
Our work is done
We've left our lives
Inside the sun

From Beyond

Choir of the sun chants inside the anti moon
Shockwaves rattle the Earth below the hymn of doom
Chilled rays freeze below the eye of silver sun
Damned souls gather in valley of the evil one

Phantasmal specter of two worlds collid
Planetoid soaked in rays of electric light
Sonter caravan from deep space arrives
Rides on the sun craft toward the glowing eye

Walk with the cleric under eye of silver sun
Damned souls gather in valley of the evil one
Choir of the sun chants inside the anti moon
Shockwaves rattle the Earth below with hymn of doom

Nain's Baptism

Instrumental

Snowblind (Black Sabbath Cover Bonus Track)

What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain (cocaine)

Something blowing in my head
Winter's ice, it soon will spread
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold

My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me

Let the winter sun shine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling glow

Don't you think I know what I'm doing
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one who's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong

Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my day to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?

Listen to this while reading the lyrics. Or just listen because this album is fucking AMAZING!
