REVIEW: SHINEDOWN, THREE DAYS GRACE, & P.O.D. 3/25/2013

1stBank Center hosted an awesome concert featuring Shinedown, Three Days Grace, and P.O.D. There were very few people to start out, but it was a fairly early concert. It also is not the best drive for most people. It is a nice brother venue to Pepsi Center, but it is out of the way. There was a lot of merchandise at the show for all the bands. The highlight though was Shinedown selling their latest CD, Amaryllis, plus a Meet & Greet after the show for $20. It is a great price for a great CD, if you did not already have it, when you marry it with meeting the band. Three Days Grace had a Meet & Greet before the show that I heard was very rushed and ran late.

REVIEW: TWINS OF EVIL ROB ZOMBIE, MARILYN MANSON, & DJ STARSCREAM 10/2/2012

When I heard about this tour, I thought I was dreaming. Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson? No way… Well, way – and way awesome. Two artists that love stage presence and treat their shows as more of a theatrical performance than just a rock show is a sight to see. JDevil was supposed to open, which was a little odd, but still would have been interesting. Due to Korn’s heavy touring schedule, Jonathan Davis was too exhausted to hop right onto the Twins Of Evil tour. So, his replacement was DJ Starscream. This isn’t a plug and play DJ situation. Their styles are drastically different. The lines to get into the venue were extremely long, and by the end of DJ Starscream’s set, the floor was packed with people.
