Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god. I'm sorry, this is frantic, but I just got home from Sounds of the Underground, and jebus was it ever good.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with SOTU, here's a rundown: 19 bands, 11 hours, one kick ass stage.....you can do the fun math.


So first few bands were good. A few to mention, the Red Chord and Devil Driver were both rockin. So then came Throwdown and Strapping Young Lad, both equally intense. Here's a sample:

Strapping Young Lad: "LET'S HEAR YOU GUYS MAKE SOME NOISE! COME ON TOTRONTO!!
*crowd cheers*
SYL: "SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

So good. So then came MY highlights....Everytime I Die and Norma Jean!!! OH god it was so hot and sexy and I sang along and knew all the words and I touched both singers bums when they jumped in the crowd. Needless to say, awesome to the max. And they also both played my favourite songs!!! The only thing I was disapointed about was not hearing the Logic of Crocodiles, but still, AWESOME.

Then....oh goodness....you guessed it.....GWAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best.....stage show.....ever. First off, the band is up there in these thongs, with huge strap-ons and armor and masks and big rubber spikes, so right there, that's just too awesome. Also, every song, a new character would come out inthis wierd ongoing story, and the band would kill the character, and blood would spray out over the crowd from the usually decapitated body. All in all, I think that blood was continuously sprayed on the crowd for at least 15 minutes straight. SO AWESOME.

So then we watched Opeth, Stephen jazzed himself, that was that.

Then Poison the Well, and they actually played the one song I LOVE AND REMEMBERED. My lucky day

Then Lamb of God was just amazing, and that's all there is to it.

Now I might comment on this amazing event a little more later. But now I have to sleep.

Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer. (<----best moment in my memory from tonight)
