You're welcome. I tried to ask Adam a question, but despite being right in front of him the whole time, he picked others every time. I didn't really mind, but would have loved to hear his response to some of the questions generated here on FourthEye that haven't yet been covered.iloveposters wrote:Thanks for the review. Did you get to ask Adam anything? Were any of the questions worth noting that were asked by others?? MJK did not do soundcheck for VIPs? How far were you from the rail during soudcheck?? Thanks
I did hear him comment that the lights coming up during intermission (which was one of the things I may have asked) was a safety thing. And looking down on that sea of humanity on the floor, I guess I can understand. The lights did come up, but for us in the balcony, they were pretty understated. I would still prefer the mood lighting and I really wish they had looped "Intermission" off of Aenima the whole 12 minutes. That would have been awesome. I have never heard of them using that song during an intermission, and that's a missed opportunity! Actually what I'd really, really love to see: Using "Intermission" for the entire intermission and then launching into Jimmy when they return to the stage.
Again, we heard MJK through the doors, but he bailed well before they let us in.
I was right at the rail, in my favorite spot between DC and Justin. That's what made me decide to sit in the balcony. The drum riser was too high so the view of Danny sucked!
I believe you can bring in what you want, but there is ZERO chance of Adam signing it. He mentioned that he intended to do that (and I think he tried it on the first VIP in OR) but it was a disaster and they had to revise. It's just logistics, with 100 people to get through, he would be there all day and they have a ton of shit to do prior to the show.azbay wrote:thanks for the review Kittaan! I can't wait, doing the VIP as well, did they let you bring anything else in for Adam to sign? such as a poster, album or whatever? enjoy the second show! my buddy got hosed last night he bought a ticket that ended up being fake! feel bad for the dude, told him he should've kept checking ticketbastard, anyways cheers!
Second show was killer thanks to Ak-Rev and his friends getting there at 10:00am and being first in line. He hooked me and my buddy up and I in turn hooked up Bonebroke. We got unbelievable seats pretty much dead center over the soundboard. Sound was pristine as was the view. Really outstanding. Thanks again Rev!
