Ok, so I'm starting to feel a bit like a concert junkie here. I went and saw Weezer and Foo Fighters last night at Continental Arena in the beautiful Meadowlands. The best part - VIP floor standing tickets, which I am still in shock for being able to buy. As you can see, we were pretty damn close.
This marks the third time that I've seen Weezer in concert, and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed this time around. I can think of a few reasons for a lackluster performance:
- Rivers needs to have sex. Celibacy is just no good for a rock star.
- The pressures of being a Harvard student must be fairly difficult to deal with. Maybe Rivers has a mid term next week.
- Maybe the band (and me,) is just getting older. It's not 1995 anymore.
Foo Fighters on the other hand, whom I've never seen before last night, were just incredible. Simply put, David Grohl is amazing. He flows flawlessly from guitar to drums to screaming his lungs out. I don't remember ever being this impressed with a band after seeing them for the first time. When referring to illegally downloaded music, Grohl said something to the effect of: "I don't care how you heard it, I don't care if you took the song from your friends ipod, I just care if you know the song and would like to hear me play it." Those are the words of a musician who cares more about music then about money. Unlike some other bands we know of (cough, cough - Metallica.)
