Is there anything better than a huge rock concert? If the a few strains of Alternative rock and punk rock fans had their way the answer would be, yes. I’m not gonna’ lie and say that I can’t handle both and that I haven’t been thoroughly satisfied with show at a smaller venue but when you see that band that is huge with star power and they have a show to equal the sound it is raw awesomeness!
It’s the train bursting through the stage, the huge Rosie blow up doll and it’s the big canon blasts that AC/DC guarantees as they go out with “For Those About to Rock”! Iit’s even an Alternative band like Jane’s Addiction at their first Lollapalooza show and the big screens behind them, the dancing monster, the sexy, sexy girls getting totally sexy on one another during “Ted, Just Admit it . . .”! It’s Tommy Lee being raised up, spun around upside down in his drum cage while banging out his solo! It is Ted Nugent swinging onto the stage from a vine and then firing an arrow into a flaming guitar! It’s that pig floating around the Pink Floyd shows; it’s the spectacle of Rock! It’s Kiss.
These are freaks doing crazy things for our acceptance and appetite of sex and war. I have it and you have; it is the desire for primal exploitation, birth, death and rebirth. Now I’m not sure f this is any different than some opera or religious story though the music makes the rock show kick much more ass! To me it would confirm that all we are here to do is procreate and keep our species and DNA strands going like any creature in the animal kingdom. Sure we have sky scrapers, airplanes, civil engineering and Blacky Lawless but I don’t know if it’s really anything more than man’s brain making use of it’ self. If our brains weren’t so big we would still all be in the area around Nairobi eating, sleeping, defecating, fighting and making babies rather than watching David Lee Roth do spin kicks while Eddy Van Halen does guitar crazy.
What was the point?
I love Rock n’ Roll as if my survival depended on it!
Side topic: is Sid Vicious actually slicing up his chest with broken bottles on stage the same as Alice Cooper replicating his decapitation on stage? I never saw either in person.
