IN DEPTH Phoenix AZ Concert Review
Attended the show last night in Phoenix and decided to say my 2 cents.
Iıve been to 50+ concerts in the past 10 years but have never gotten to
see AC/DC and this was definately one of the very few 10/10 shows Iıve
ever seen. First up was Slash. Wasnıt really impressed and would have
preferred to see someone else open for them. (Queensryche would have
been awesome.) I decided to wear ear plugs for the first time ever and
boy am I glad I did. I didnıt want Slash to ruin my hearing for AC/DC.
Kicked it after Slash was done, and there was this dude in the row
behind us bragging to these 2 hooker looking chicks showing them 2
aftershow passes probably hoping for a blowjob or something. I told him
Iıd give him to smokes for them and then said ³nevermind, I have a
horny bitch with me I need to get back to the car as soon as possible²
and I offended Mr. Stud and he left!!! Anyone I see with a chip on
their shoulder I love to get to bat out and knock it off :)
Anyways,
according to what I had heard, WWF wrestler Triple H was supposed to
introduce AC/DC (The WWF had been in the same building for the last 2
nights) but when the lights went out, all that happened was a fat dude
came out and said ³The band youıve been waiting for...AC/DC!!!². The
set list (below) was excellent, minus them not playing Who Made Who
like all other dates so far. Iım hoping they add it on the last leg if
they come back here.
The arena I would say was at least 90% full, which
was pretty rockin. Brian did awesome and was in top form along with all
the other guys. Phil kept doing this funny thing with his mouth during
the show like I used to see my brother do when he played Nintendo! LOL.
My ear plugs definately helped cause I could actually hear Phils high
hat which is something Iım usually to deaf by that stage in a concert
to hear. Plus the day after, I donıt have that annoying ringing in my
ears unlike my girlfriend :)
...Anyways during Bad Boy Boogie, Angus was
on the corner of the stage and some cocksucker threw a full beer all
over him. Angus put down his guitar and from I hear on the radio this
morning (I couldnıt see) he went into the crowd and tweaked his nose
for it!!!! Well the show went on, AC/DC kicked major ass, and I already
canıt wait to see them again!!!!

"For you really big fans: Angus punched a beer throwing fan tonight.
Here's what happened: Angus strolled to the left side
of the stage, someone threw an empty beer cup at him. Angus then taunted the
fan to throw one at his face by pointing to his own chin. The fan obliged
hitting directly in the face and covering him and his Gibson SG in beer
(Angus took off his guitar and gave it to his guitar tech). Angus motioned
for
the fan to come to him upfront, when the fan did Angus grabbed and twisted
the fan's
nose and threw a punch at him. The fan tried to retaliate but was
overwhelmed by security and "escorted" off the premises."
Please help me to understand the reasoning behind this - to purchase an AC/DC
concert ticket (pay good money) - go to the show - and then disrespect the
band by throwing a beer (or anything) at the main man (ICON) of the stage
show.
Is that situation...
A) Just plain Stupid?
B) A protest of ticket or merchandise prices
C) Alcohol abuse
D) An out-cry for attention
I think "A" is the answer.
