Too properly start this blog the words WOW have to be established cause that's exactly how I felt after seeing on the better tours this year! WOW Now first I have to admit I only saw three bands... now before you jump up and scream at me let me explain what went down.
First we hit the Belly Bus at 11am with our winners and the festivities begin! The first ever Cornholeshop.com Cornhole Tournament starts with 6 teams competing to go backstage with Five Finger Death Punch and Disturbed! So we do a double elimination tournament with the winner being Shake N Bake which were Ben and Grant. Lots of beers and shots went down and we rolled up to the Verizon Wireless Center with a pretty good buzz going and only had to make two piss stops on the way up at a gas station and a Panera Bread restaurant. Customers at Panera looked a bit leary when a prison bus rolled up outsid their store and then a bunch of half drunk rockerheads came pouring out but all was well.... the pee was great and we all went to Verizon. FYI only one person puked on the way up and he said it was due to what he ate for breakfast and not drinking... but whatever
So our winners and I head to the venue to meet up with Five Finger Death Punch and the guys were awesome. We met up with Matt and Jeremy first and took some pics then cracked open the FFDP cornhole set designed by cornholeshop.com and man were the guys impressed stating that they wish they had these things about 40 shows ago! So we just goofed around and played without keeping score as Zoltan and Darrell joined us. And before you know it we had a bunch of gals (I'm assuming they were the band's girlfriends/wifes) playing with us as well. We were trying trick shots and just having a blast, Matt even stated that they had a cornhole tournament with a bunch of the bands just a few dates ago so they were ecstatic about the boards, the only complaint was that "it was tough finding the hole without any hair around it" :) Even Ivan came off the bus to chat and sign some posters for us so it was truly a great experience with the group.
So then our group headed back to the Belly Bus for some beers since they were selling them for $10 bucks a piece in the venue. We chatted about the station, their favorite groups etc then it was time to meet with Disturbed. We were going to play fooseball with the guys but due to a time crunch the guys had to decline the match but were able to come hang backstage with us for a few moments to chat, take some pictures and sign some posters for us. ONE thing I have to admit was really cool about all the guys in both groups was the fact that they all wanted to shake hands with us and thanked us for all the support and for coming out to the show. Some groups might take a pic and blow you off but both groups couldn't have been nicer and cooler to us.
So with all the signed stuff I suggested we take the stuff back to the bus so we didn't get jumped for our goods... our winners went to watch FFDP and Andy and I headed back to the bus for some more beers and to hang with Jimmy our driver! We shot the breeze for about an hour, got into a bags fight on the bus and then headed back in to check out the main stage, so that's how we missed all the other bands.
Dragonforce was finishing up their set when we got to the lawn and I have to be honest I'm not a big fan of their sound. It's very 80's retro sounding and really just makes me think of Guitar Hero more than anything. So they didn't get much of a pop from the crowd but the place is jammed and everybody is ready for Disturbed who is on next.
Disturbed sounded really good and Dave did a great job of getting some crowd participation with fist pumping, U-S-A chants etc. They really did a hell of a job, then Slipknot hit the stage last and they were incredible as always. Corey even mentioned how impressed he was with how packed the place was! Finally we get back to the bus and I probably made it 20 minutes into the ride home when I passed out and everyone knows if you pass out in public you must suffer the consequences and I woke up with a marker mustache on my face... In the end I had a marker mustached, an empty wallet, half a voice from all the screaming, a sore neck and shoulder from head bangins and fist pumping, a splitting headache, and a ton of memories.
So all in all the trip was great thank you to Jimmy the driver, the Belly Bus, Cornholeshop.com and to all the rockheads who came along for the ride it was a trip to remember and I hope we can do more stuff like this again in the future. Pictures will be up next week I hope so come back and check em out!
