Concert review Buckcherry and Saliva
This past week I continued my quest to see every band live, and ventured out to see Saliva and Buckcherry at a relatively small venue. The music started around 9pm, when the Saliva lead singer came to the stage with one of the coolest mohawks I have seen in quite some time (I think it was colored bright pink). The band wasted no time getting the crowd energized, and cranked out one hit after another. This included their mega hit "Ladies And Gentlemen," as well as "Click Click Boom," "Always," "Your disease," "Survival Of The Sickest," "Broken," and "Raise Up." Each song was filled with passion and a lot of aggression, and you could tell the crowd was loving the music…

Social Distortion have been around for a long time, and they used to get a fair amount of airplay on the alternative radio stations I listened to back home. Mike Ness' vocals and guitar skills always amazed me, and I became a devoted Social D fan after listening to their "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" CD. I got a chance to see the band play live at a relatively small venue last night, and the show turned out to be chaotic and fun! The band took the stage around 10pm, with Mike Ness and company launching into an energized version of "reach for the sky" to start the show…
