- I hate hippies. Therefore, I hate Santa Cruz.
- One day I will write a book on "line etiquette"; many will agree, no one will practice.
- People in Santa Cruz do a lot of drugs. Case and point? The many people going into the pit in flip-flops.
- The venue should have been more worried about the cougar ladies drinking alcohol than the underage people. Honestly, the underage people would have probably behaved better under the influence.
- I have never seen such a high stage in my life. They claimed the reason for the excessive height was because people kept jumping up on stage. Apparently security guards don't exist in Santa Cruz either. Just a lot of drugs.
- Opening bands that have been arranged by the label are never a good fit. Never.
- Clocks on a stage just suck (see pic of Piggy D in photo set). Seriously. I go to a concert to escape, not be reminded that it's just a matter of time until I have to return to reality.
- When Rob Zombie is sick, Rob Zombie is very very cranky. Yes to photos! No to photos! Ok, yes again! Let's play a rare song, wait let's play one instead that we've played a million times!
- John 5 fucking rules. Seriously.
- I thought Ginger Fish was a homeless dude they picked up outside until HRC clarified for me.
- I expected a more varied setlist, but alas, just what I'd heard before. Still rocked though and had a blast.
- Stomach bruises hurt like a motherfucker. Not quite as bad as when I broke a rib at Deftones, but pretty brutal nonetheless.
- All venues should also double as a pizza joint that still sells pizza after the show. This was the only redeeming factor of The Catalyst.
For a much better recap of the show than I could ever write, check out HRC's post for the show here. Photos, videos & other goodies below...
Great poster (that I have since acquired for my own collection) advertising the show:
