So I got to see VIO-lence 
Full disclosure I wasn't a big fan back in the day, that's just because I was neck deep in listening to only Randy Rhoads stuff (I missed a lot of good stuff) saw the guys in the band around the bay area (mostly at Omni) so I knew of them but hadn't really heard anything from them. Move ahead last year one of my best friends asked me if I wanted to go to a benefit show for his cousin who was going to have liver surgery and I was like "Sure, who is your cousin" and he respond Sean Killian. Cool. So I get a message from him a month or two ago asking "You want to see the REAL VIO-lence play live?" and I was "f*CK YES!" lol. so he told me about the show etc. I got to watch Negative Sixxx do their sound check and play through a couple songs before the let people it, I like them, very cool - check them out. They opened the show
Next was Hatriot, will say they were musically incredibly tight and excellent players, but the pig squeal vocals lost me. On their last song Steve Souza came out and sang with them and that really got the audience pumped.
Then over course it came time for the smooth jazz easy listening portion of the show (hehe) People stage diving, people stage diving off the PA, one dude hit the floor and was knocked the hell out
On this night PD playing his polkadot PD1 and his old school black Rhoads with the Raiders sticker on it, night two (Which I wasn't there for but my friend sent me a pick from back stage) playing the red and black PD1 and the Dolkadot PD1, no fury sighted.
PS I don't normally film anything from shows (I go to watch the band not the view finder) but this was kind of historic, that's the first song they played on stage in something like 18 years so.
