day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event

Metallica's Welcome Home (Sanitarium) always reminds me of Summer Sanitarium Tour 2003. The line up (in order): Mudvayne, Deftones, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, METALLICA.

BEST FUCKING CONCERT OF MY LIFE.

I was 22; Liz was 15 (her first concert!). We were standing for over 12 hours, with nothing to eat/drink except for a sandwich and a cup of water at the beginning of the 12 hours, and then the water that the awesome security staff poured into our mouths (or over our heads) during/between shows. We were lucky to be in the third row at the beginning, and then on the barrier by the end of Limp Bizkit's set.

I have never been so dehydrated, hot, suntanned, deaf, bruised, tired, close to fainting, and fucking elated in my life.

Me and Liz, in the Port Authority bathroom, exhausted, after returning on the bus from Giants Stadium. (We still had to take a train to Queens, then a bus, and then walk half a mile to my parents' house.)



Favorite lines: they keep me locked up in this cage / can't they see it's why my brain says rage

List of all days.

more punch lines than a high school disco

OH MY GOD, I just can't get enough of them. alskjdflsajfl;asjdfl;dsj

Here's Rizzle Kicks' acoustic performance of Prophet (Better Watch It) for Channel4. <333!

I wish I could've been here:



ETA2: Oh look, this is kinda like being there. A little.

ETA1: They've also got an interview/article in issue 313 of i-D magazine, but I doubt I can find it here in the US. If anyone in the UK is willing to buy a copy and send it to me, I will happily pay you for it via paypal!

(Am I really getting into them this way? I feel like I should start an eljay comm or a tumblr for them or something...)
