[quote="thewaiverproject"]a few people started yelling freebird.... every damn concert lol
i yelled daydream wonder...
and buffalo soldier as a joke
and manabe looked over
so i yelled nine miles- shoulda yelled a song like heart is there but hes not gonna play it anyways- and well the fact that you need alot more than a guitar to play his tunes[/quote]
Yeah, the people that started the freebird stuff were behind me (by thr front of the bar)... I guess its suppose to be ok, but I thought it was so rude... I didn't hate the people though because of the comments they made about secret.
Secret was.... sooooooo, god-aweful!! I know my opinion is baist because I don't like visual-kei, but it was horrible! I guess it did bring viraity, but it was bad, and it was hilarious with how the lead singer was (especially when he was trying to speak japanese)
Unfortunately I missed Lemon Drop Kick, waiting in line outside. It sucked so much, they should have made Secret play first, it was torture to have to hear them. The others were ok, but I was thinking "could you at least play your songs and not some anime/jrock service song please!!" I sear, the luna sea, l'arc, and anime service was annoying for me. Which was a shame because they played well... though the japanese singer from the bay aliens could not do Gotoh's voice (lead from Asian Kung-fu) to save his life.
[quote="Pepopo"]Well I just got back today (Sunday) from SF, that was totally worth the 10.5 hr drive. Man Sawao is a badass/rockstar, and man Secretsecret sucked ass dookies. Terra I think I saw you. You were wearing the black 916 shirt right? I shouted "Terra?" but Pepopo went unheard.
Summary: I really liked the Pillow's 2 songs from My Foot (amongst everything else of course); I'd have like to have heard some stuff from Smile (Thunder Whales Picnic); and finally: for all of the FLCL people who make the Pillows play the same songs [i]all[/i] the time, at least learn the words to the chorus. People were barely singing along at all.
Oh yeah, Beautiful Morning With You was incredibly awesome.[/quote]
I think I remember you there (if you were the one to say you were from Utah). You also reminded me of how all after the pillows played my foot people were all like "Oh wow, MY FOOT is a really good song!" and I was just thinking in my head, that's why I wanted them to play it, and play something new/post FLCL. (Though there was a 99% chance that they would)
The concert and everything was just awesome! I think Sawao is one of the few people that can take broken engrish and turn it beyond cool! Beyond James Bond Cool! Everything he said got the croud so hyped that he could barely speak!
I will say, and pardon my language, but I glad to stopped those freakin' "european decendent" teenager guys from moshing. It was annoying, plus some of them looked like the anime otaku guys too!

I won't ramble too much, but it was no where near as bad as what I heard happen at the LA show! That guy deserves to be shot! (well, not really)
I also was surprised by the number of Reverse Scalpers there! I'm glad I bought my tickets in May, but sheesh, there were so many people trying to buy them that I wish that I bought some extras to sell for like $50 bucks.
That concert was so- good though!
-----------------------------------------------
I forgot to say, though, that one thing that impressed me is that the Pillows remembered all of their songs, or at least that's how they made it seem. Although I don't play an instrument, I was just impressed that they could memorize even the older ones because of how long they've been around, how much they have, and how complicated they can be! Plus they must have been exhausted too to play as much as they did!
Plus seeing Manabe playing guitar was awesome! He certainly looked like he was in Nine Miles mode, as much as he was into it! However, yeah, he was so great! Jun was too, I think Jun should just join their band already! (But I guess he's still committed to the other)
