Bang Your Head

We went to the sparsely attended Vince Neil, Quiet Riot, Slaughter triple bill last night at the coliseum. We missed the Slaughter, but I wanted it see Quiet Riot in 1983 so I was glad to finally get the job done. The lead singer looks like Rod Stewart which is a little disconcerting when you are trying to bang your head. They have a new album, but they only played a couple of songs off it. That's not too bad since I only knew 3 of their songs anyway. Despite never owning a Motley Crue record I knew every song Vince Neil played. Maria claims that over the course of her life she's spent so much money on Motley Crue merchandise that she's made a mortgage payment for Vince Neil. That money also helped me learn all of the tunes. There were 2 things that stood out about the show. One, both bands were incredibly enthusiastic. Often times more enthusiastic than the crowd. And the second thing was beer was $8 for 24 ounces. I have to start saving for Van Halen right now.
