I did not see everyone, but saw many of the bands/artists that played.
Jerry Cantrell, guitarist/songwriter/singer/leader of Alice In Chains, who are playing Sunday at Louder Than Life, I’ve also been a fan of for more than 20 years.
I’ve always said AIC is my favorite of the so called Grunge bands.
And Jerry is a big reason for that.
I’d seen AIC before (loudest show I’ve ever seen) but had not seen him solo. He played a mixture of solo and AIC songs.
Alice Cooper is one of my favorites!
Aside from KISS, I’ve seen Alice almost as many times.
And aside from his first two albums, most of his albums are amazing.
He’s still making great albums and live, he’s always been impeccable.
I also saw Ice-T’s band Body Count, Rob Zombie (only saw a bit of his set because I was watching Body Count) and KISS (my 10th time seeing them).
Seeing all of these acts was great but for me Body Count and KISS made me the happiest.
Alice too, especially since his former guitarist Kane Roberts is back (Edit: he only was back for a few months then guitarist Nita Strauss returned), but Body Count and KISS MOST especially.
Body Count I’ve wanted to see for the last few years.
They’re amazing!!! Last two albums are masterpieces and I can’t wait to buy the next one.
KISS, for anyone who doesn’t know, are my favorite band period.
All albums and all lineups.
No apologies.
They always make me feel like I’m 16 again.
They never let me down musically.
And aside from The Rolling Stones, who I’ve loved since I was a kid, they are the best band I’ll ever see in concert.
It was a long day, but a rocking, fun day too.
