 optimusprimerib My son's favorite band at the time, so we had to meet them. The band was super polite and nice to talk with. Hail Satan. Ghost / Marissa Nadler Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib My daughter's first concert, as well as my oldest friend's first real show. Daughter got to go on stage and strum Michael Poulsen's guitar. Volbeat / Anthrax / Crobot Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib I'd lost track of my friend, Jake, and was hanging out with Hank after the show when Jake called. I handed the phone to Hank, who answered. Jake said, "Shut the fuck up and put Kenny on!" when Hank told him who he was. RIP Jake, who never did believe he had talked with Hank that night. Hank 3 Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib I scored magnetic fridge letters and a die-cast Millennium Falcon from jolly 'ol St. Buckethead's bag 'o cheer. Buckethead Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib I made cardboard masks for each of my friends who went with me and we got them signed after the show. What a great bunch of guys, QR. Quiet Riot Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib My son & daughter, my mom, and myself were the only people wearing tin foil hats at this show. C'mon! CPFoA, you can do better! "Weird Al" Yankovic Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib My daughter, my niece, and myself were the only people wearing tin foil hats at this show. C'mon! CPFoA, you can do better! "Weird Al" Yankovic Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib I almost fought the heckler sitting next to me (Cornell intervened, thankfully), and the tweeker chick one row up thought rifling through her purse was better than watching Chris & Bryan's show. Sent condolences to Bryan Wilson following Chris' death. I'd bet he'd love to hear from you, as well, as it definitely affected him harshly. Amazing show, top 5 for sure. Chris Cornell Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib PUSA puts on a very high-energy show, probably one of the top 3 bands I've seen, in terms of a band who genuinely enjoys the fuck out of what they're doing. The Presidents of The United States of America Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib Drove from NW Montana, caught the 101 in Seaside, OR, then took it all the way to Hollywood. Met the boys inside Tower Records before the show. Tower Records was badass! Pennywise Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib Simply an amazing experience all around, but I think my favorite part was the huge, public drum circle a bunch of band members got together and formed after all the sets were over. That kind of shit just doesn't happen anymore. Ozzfest 2000 Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib My buddy, Kefra, got to go on stage and sing with Pennywise. He was stoked and that's actually how we met, as I learned he was from my area and tracked him down to give him the pictures I'd taken. RIP Kef. Lars was kind enough to pull me backstage so I could be close as Rancid played, then I pretty much just hung out backstage here and there after getting a few passes from Randy Bradbury. His wife's name is the same as my step-daughter's, by the way. Fletcher offered my friends and I some "beers", but their cooler was stocked with nothing but Zimas, so we passed. I had a beer anyway. So I'm sitting in Pennywise' tour bus after that and some girls came knocking at the door. Everyone but Jim was there (he was puking at the hotel, I guess), and they all asked that I let the girls in since I was closest to the door. In came the pair of ladies, who asked the guys to sign their jeans. Nice girls, whom I would discover, were from my town. When they for some reason turned to me and asked for a signature, I said "Sure! Bend over!" and I signed their inner thighs. I always hoped to run into them some day, but never have.

 optimusprimerib We arrived early the morning of and pulled around back of the venue to grab some shut eye. Next thing I know, we're being surrounded by tour vehicles and all the band/crew starts piling out to go inside and eat breakfast. So I joined them. Sat next to Fat Mike and nobody batted an eye. I told him I'd need a few passes later if my local friends ended up showing. Stood center front awaiting Bad Religion to come on and talked with this kid, who was a huge BR fan, so I acted dumb and said I'd never heard of them. As Jay Bentley came out to set cabling, I yelled to him and tossed my instant camera his way/asked him to take our picture. He did. The kid next to me was in shock. Afterward, as I was drinking a beer and talking with Jay, this obnoxious woman came up and interrupted us, asking for a signature, I believe. So I poured my beer over her head. Later, I'm backstage and manage to flag Mike down. He hands me a small stack of passes, reconsiders, then takes two back, leaving me with three. Vans Warped Tour Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib The band completely destroyed all their instruments after the set. It was awesome. Nine Inch Nails Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib I stood with about 10 other people at the small stage before Slipknot came on. This must have been when they were relatively undiscovered, because it took until half-way through their first song before 100s of people flooded in to see the band. Ozzfest 1999 Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib Tiny, intimate , yet rowdy venue. Bands sounded surprisingly good and were personable to chat with. Clutch / Sevendust Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib My hand brushed across a set of teeth sticking out of the grassy hillside and we were kind of scared to dig them out and end up finding a body. Turned out to be someone's lost dentures. Must have been the gummer of all gummers. Lynyrd Skynyrd / Paul rogers Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib Some fucking moron stole at least one of their guitars during this show. It remains one of the areas great unsolved crimes. Creedence Clearwater Revisited Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib Met WZ afterward and got my first concert pick from Sean Yseult. I think i have like 30 now. White Zombie / Melvins / Babes in Toyland Feb 02, 2021
 optimusprimerib There was a riot afterward in the campground area. I walked past a cop car that was overturned and set on fire. Either that, or it was the excellent LSD that I ran across that evening & all was calm. White Zombie / Pantera / Eye Hate God Feb 02, 2021
