The Affliction Christmas Concert w/ TSOL, Suicidal Tendencies, Pennywise & Danzig Long Beach Arena - Long Beach, CA 12/19/09 Words/Photos/Videos by Justin/concertconfessions.com It would be very easy for me to use this review to blast Affliction.  It is of course the second most popular t-shirt company for douche bags after Ed Hardy.  However it is the holiday season and why hate when you can be grateful that you got free all access VIP tickets to the sold out $5 Affliction Holiday concert featuring TSOL, Suicidal ...

Blazed and Confused Tour 07/24/09 Shoreline Amphitheatre: Mt. View, CA Words/Photos by jhallead My boss comes up to me at 3pm on a Friday asking if I want our box seats for the Blazed and Confused Tour at the Shoreline.  With no time to change, headed north with my white hippie shirt and flip flops. What did I have to drink you ask?  Gin and Juice, what else?  I was actually surprised that Snoop opened for Slightly Stoopid.  Sorry Slightly Stoopid fans, but I think they ... Read More

Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - 8/3/09 Words/Photos by iheartmoshing This is the 15th year for Warped Tour but for me, it was only my third year attending. Out of the three I've been to, this ranks as the best, not only because of the awesome bands on the tour, but of the great experiences I had while I was there. My day at Warped Tour included seeing: I Set My Friends On Fire, Underoath, Black Tide, NeverShoutNever, Breathe Carolina, A Day to ... Read More

Warped Tour 2008 Seaside Park - Ventura, CA 06/22/08 Words/Photos/Videos by Justin (With Warped Tour kicking off this week, and things a tad slow here I figured we would look back at my experience on the long running festival last summer.  Note, this first appeared on MTVnews.com) A good rock festival is very similar to a good meal at a buffet. If planned correctly, you can get a nice sample of everything you love, try something new, and hopefully avoid items that you simply don't agree ... Read More

Atmosphere w/ Brother Ali The Pageant - St. Louis, MO 05/21/09 Words/Photos/Videos by BeeZnutZ   I have been down with Rhymesayers Entertainment for about 5 years. My friend took me to the store to buy "God Loves Ugly" in 2003. I also believe he got Sage Francis "Sick of Waiting Tables" the same day. We rolled around St. Louis checking out graffiti throughout the city relaxing bumping this hip hop in his car. Hip Hop is a whole lifestyle and Atmosphere to me represents. I liked his ... Read More

Meat Puppets 05/11/09 Amoeba Music - Hollywood, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Justin (Editors Note - Per Amoeba Staff Members Videostaping for sharing was approved for this show.) With the milestone age of 30 weeks away for me, I was in high school when Nirvana introduced the world to Meat Puppets. During their now classic appearance on MTV Unplugged, the Arizona band performed three songs (only two song appeared on the original broadcast which our webmaster has on VHS) at the request of Cobain who couldn’t figure out ...

The Palladium - Hollywood, CA 03/28/09 Walking into the Hollywood Palladium just past 9pm on Saturday night, my heart was split 50/50. The left side had hope, the right side was full of natural fear. After all, this is LA and Suicidal Tendencies are about to throw down in their home town. I had high hopes for violence, mayhem, disorderly conduct, nudity, a bit more violence, a few beers and of course a few good tunes serving as a backdrop for a full ... Read More

The Music Box @ Fonda - Hollywood, CA 02/04/09 A long long time ago, I was a student in Mrs. Machado’s kindergarten class. I played with blocks, learned my letters and came down with head lice on three separate occasions. It was during this time that three men (Fat Mike, Smelly and Eric Melvin) were forming a crappy little punk rock band. 25 years later, I no longer have head lice, or play with blocks. I may have learned the letters N-O-F-X in ... Read More
