The Slow Gin Fizz

3.5 hr show = 20 item list

1. drug addled kids in rehab make for damn fine musicians. they totally rocked the pixies ‘where’s my mind’. they also drink way too much red bull and mosh
2. tom morello’s new band is beyond awesome. its like rage against the machine with a hip hop artist as the lead singer and with slightly less angst. they’re opening for the janes addiction/NIN show ensuring it’s spot as the second best show i’ll see all summer.
3. on a related note, tom morello will now be used as an adjective to describe awesomeness. ex: that pie last night was so tom morello
4. dear wayne kramer, you kick so much ass and it makes me mad that you are not a household name. love, lisa
5. i really love when amazing guitarists face each other while they play. especially when those guitarists are tom morello and wayne kramer.
6. perry farrell, i wish you could be the frontman for all bands. and even though i’m straight, it must be said, your wife is hot
7. jerry cantrell, you are one of the solidly soulful guitarists and i will never get tired of seeing you play. keep the hair flipping, it works for you
8. billy bragg, you kinda made me melt when you played ‘the drugs don’t work’. you are now the oldest person i would sleep with.
9. juliette lewis, you were so beyond awesome. who knew! you rock ac/dc
10. the guys from sum 41 showed up. i’m glad they didn’t do much. little stevie, i wish you had done more.
11. a note to the band the hours: when you are playing a benefit show with rock legends, there is absolutely no need for your set to be twice as long as everyone elses. tool did it better.
12. mountain song is like the best thing ever
13. i like when tom morello plays the guitar with his teeth
14. gilby clark of guns n’ roses, i never realized how good you were! i think this show should feature a random gnr member each year, gradually working up to axl
15. to the random band from sacramento, california, i didn’t catch your name, but i thought you were awesome. you too migs.
16. iggy pop. i am so glad i got to see you live in my lifetime. you are a legend and its amazing that you are able to do what you do.
17. to all the artists, please don’t play jailbreak when you take this show to sing sing
18. matt pinfield, i have always been a big fan and i respect you even more now. you had one of the darkest days a person could have, and you still showed up to do this benefit for recovering addicts. and you talked so freely and openly. you undoubtedly inspired a lot of people. i hope some day you bring back the show take it to the matt. and you make a damn fine frontman.
19. kicking out the jams is so much better than not kicking out the jams
20. to all the random celebs that showed up that i’m forgetting, thanks for making this such an unbelievable show for a really great cause. and to my cousin brian for being an awesome represententation of our genetic makeup.
