Oct 1 2003!! Queens of The Stone Age Concert & I am Old Rant

My Review from back in the Day and Notorious LINZ's Response
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Linz's response to below review

Matthew, and to a lesser extent, Cory, then the rest of you droogs,
THe chick from the distillers is bangin Josh Homme, hence the opening slot (insert joke and beavis laugh here).
I concur 100% that body surfers are America's greatest enemy and should be shanked with screwdrivers/nails/forks at every opportunity.
That ringing in you ears is called tinitis and it is the affliction of the cool...much like the clapp or dyzlecksia.
the drummer is like the man with no name in those clint eastwood movies...he's just some badass who shows up and keeps it real deal holyfield
LinZ (green with envy/the clapp)

Hello again everyone.
C-diddy and myself went and saw Queens of the Stone Age at the Quest onWednesday night. The piece of shit newspapers did not have a review of theshow even though Queens is the best touring rock band out right now.They played for about 2 hours, the set list is below (for you linz) butlike the other two times I saw queens this summer they did not talk much tothe crowd or make any references to Mpls. Have to make references to thecity damnitt.The fact they have three singers kicks ass. Mark and Nick were reallygood. Josh had "I Fu*k" written with a sharpie on his arm, was this ashout out to Eddie Vedder's abortion thing years ago? The drummer (notDave Grohl) is the hardest worker in show business.The Quest is a cool place to see a show. Smaller then 1st Ave.It was a solid show, saw the Distillers as the opening act and I would notsee them again if they were playing in my front yard. Cory and I wereright up front forDistillers and the first few songs of Queens.

This is where the commentary comes in.

I am OldBy: Matthew Murphy

How does a person tell that they are maybe getting a little "long in thetooth" to be attending concerts with the younger Gen Y group?
A. Moved out of the front after only a few songs
2. Wished I would have put in Ear plugs, my ears are still ringing
D. Pissed off at the f'in body surfers (I have always hated them)
5. Really pissed off at the f'in mosh pits. This is not a Slip Notconcert for cripes sake. Mosh pits should only be at John Tesh or Yannishows.
F. Listen to the damn music and quit acting like an Ass.
8. For heaven's sake, turn it down a little.

Well this may conclude the summer concert series reviews, do not haveanything planned for the coming months.Go Gophers, Twins, Wild, T-Wolves and Vikings. It is going to be a goodyear in Mpls for sports. (I will not subject everyone to sporting eventreviews)
