Furious George

This Saturday evening, i along with a few fellow mindsetters had the privilege of seeing Elkhart's own Furious George. Although i'm not a huge fan of the band's style of music (hard rock with just a pinch of metal), i'll give a brief review of the show - in note form:

the low points:
*the set change: the set change between Chicago metal band Mazarene (who i just missed) and Furious George must have lasted 45 minutes. Hell, Neil Peart can set up his drumset in a fourth of that time. if that means nothing to you, check this sucker out:

*make some f*cking noise: if i had a dollar for every time the frontman said this, or something to that effect, i would have bought the band the multiple rounds of jaeger shots they wanted and still had enough to buy the new linkin park cd tomorrow. (he did partly make up for this though by wearing a "smile if you swallow" shirt, if anyone knows where to get one of these... hook me up.
*guitar solos: not sure exactly what effect pedal the guitarist was using, but he made sure that he used it on every solo... resulting in 15 solos that all sounded exactly alike.

the high points:
*the band's timing/tightness: nothing turns me off from a band more than when they can't play their songs without getting off beat or messing up the tempo of the song. Furious George was very solid in this regard.
*the sound guy: clearly a huge Furious George fan, he tried his best to singlehandedly start a mosh pit... unfortunately for me nothing developed.
*the drummer: to quote joe lattal, "why do these bands always have really good drummers?" this guy even knew how to properly use a double bass pedal.. i was quite impressed.

and the highlight of the night...
*the covers: the set opened with a godsmack song (the title escapes me now) and ended with the following trio of power: limp bizkit "break stuff"; static x "push it"; and drowning pool "bodies" - the last of which was by special request from Pat the bartender.

so yeah, that's Furious George. all that's left to be said is: "let the bodies hit the floor!"

ps: sorry for the lack of photos, i am yet to join the digital camera revolution.
