The concert was awesome, the vocals were so spot on it was almost scary. The boys were on fire and everyone was loving it, but for whatever reason, they cut their usual four song encore down to two, which meant they never played Razamanaz, which is my favorite. I was sort of bummed. It kicked so much ass it's hard to complain, though.

On another note, Canadian rock band The Headpins were scheduled to open for them, but weren't there due to an emergency. Not sure what the deal was, but shitty Harlequin played instead. I heard one of the band members had a heart attack, but it could be talk from someone's ass as easily as it could be fact.

Yeah, it sort of takes me aback that Nazareth has to play for such small crowds given how influential they were. If you like AC/DC, Aerosmith and even Gunners, Nazareth is a shoe-in to be a band you'll love. But, this does little to sway people to check them out. Everyone knows Love Hurts and Hair of the Dog, but to be honest, it's kinda weird how many people think AC/DC did Hair of the Dog.

Their songs are all good-great, they aren't the best at what they do, but they're consistent so much that all their music is listenable at worst. The new album, Newz seems pretty good, but I've been too busy to get around to it.

And, for the record, the Hammer thing is mostly a novelty... I only know the one song.

Wait wait.... what the hell is this cum and shit stuff??

It's weird having to separate the art from the man, but it's essential. Nikki Sixx and Tommy essentially raped a woman, Vince Neil got drunk and killed someone, the list goes on and on and on.

Just goes to show that this world is a damn fucked up place... and it's evident in the music.

Nice to see someone getting popular with talent.
