Streety.....
Wow....after 7 weeks of travelling through thailand, the states, and central europe I arrived back in london for a few days work to get ready for the 2006 season. what better way to enjoy the post work activities of a friday than at The Forum (the church) for a 90min earbashing. I was scanning through seetickets.com whilst surfing the net in slovakia and spotted korn tickets....at the forum...too good to be true. jumped all over it straight away.
London was in the middle of a cold snap....headed to the gig just wearing a jumper,thinking that on arrival i will waltz into the venue, grab a beer and get myself a position in the pit. WRONG.....it was -4 and there was a 500m lineup to get into the venue....FUCK that i said to myself...into the closest pub for a few pints....closer to the scheduled start time i pump the pint in and head for the warmth of an aggressive moshpit....WRONG...that lineup is now at least 800m long and the doors still arent open. To keep warm everyone huddled together - strangers were united in the search of warmth. after an hour of standing out there for an hour the doors open!
the gig was unbelievable. jonathon a bit rusty on a few lyrics for new songs but the old classics were sensational as they were a few months earlier at The Brixton Academy. New songs Liar, Twisted Transitor, Coming Undone and Hypocrites got there first run on the live stage....Coming Undone i fell for straight away.
A busy moshpit given a spell after each song while Jonathon sucked on some oxygen while hiding behind his human shield of a body guard....
the classics were still received the best! awesome gig
even colder on the way out....a cheap hoodie bought from a shifty cockney bastard helped on the way home....and still worn proudly every winter since!
GOT THE LIFE!
