son of the bitch. adam and his best friend and i went to see danzig two nights ago at the pound. all of the 5 opening bands were total crap metal, but it was fun watching their crappy fans headbang and look hessian. danzig sucked for the first two songs due to technical problems and his throat apparently being coated with sandpaper. then he ate a lozenge during the third song and kicked some ass from there on out. doyle was his "special guest" so he came out looking monstrously huge, wearing full ghoul makeup and a perfect devillock. they played astro zombies, hatebreed, mommy, die die my darling, and a couple others i can't recall at the moment.

then doyle left the stage and they played twist of cain and she rides. then they came back for the encore- mother and last caress i think.

doyle looked really good, although somewhat steroidal. danzig on the other hand, being almost ten years older, is starting to look his age a bit. he isn't cut anymore and his hair doesn't look as good.

a pleasant realization came at the end of the show- the drummer for danzig used to be in type o negative, a band i listened to daily in junior high. can't remember his name.

in other news, living with adam (and only adam) rules. he's an excellent roommate.
