It's been more than a month since my last post... Where does the time go... Anyway, here I am again :) I've been through a lot in the past month and have been very busy with all kinds of things. Nice and less nice things, but I'll start with the nice things :)
Last Friday I went to the solo project of Corey Taylor, the frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour, with my son Sam and my eldest brother. And what a cool concert that was, Corey is so full of energy and he has amazing musicians with him. for the three of us it was a dream come true.
For the past year and a half or two I have been buying a shirt at every concert I go to, much to my wife's irritation :) So my son and I both bought one from Corey Taylor...
He played new songs from his solo album but also (of course) songs from Slipknot and Stone Sour. Everything was perfect about the evening, the sound was great, the atmosphere was perfect and we were out and about with my son (again). So really enjoyed :)
As supportact Oxymorrons played a awesome set. I never heared of this band but boy did they had energy. It was a kind of crossover Rage against the machine and Public Enemy. Loved them (the video is not mine)

After Oxymorrons the prepared the stage for Corey Taylor... And boy did he start full force....
The song Snuf is an amazing song. It's already great on record, but live with that enormous dynamic it's even much better....
And of course the Slipknot songs couldn't be forgotten. In the encore they played Duality, a massive Slipknot hit with such a loud and heavy guitarriff.... You just can't stay still with this song... And again,look at the energy of Corey, this was 2 hours later and still going strong :)
We had such a great time, we didn't want to miss this for the world. On our way back I said to my son "Another bucketlist item achieved, we saw him with and without a mask in a year ;) "
We made another memory,
Have a great week !!
Cheers,
Peter
