I went down to New Jersey to see this lineup with my friend Sol. But before I cover the show, let's talk about all the great people you meet.
Sol was hanging with someone he met on the train over, a guy around our age named Sam. He's a huge music fan and had also seen ZZ Top and Cannibal Corpse in the last month. Dude loves music!
The winner of best T-Shirt went to this beaut:
Back to the music: the lineup for the night: Mourning <something>, FEAR, The Gaslight Anthem and Misfits.
Lee Ving from FEAR still has it, and he's only like 73 years old. 1234! 1234! They also had their original drummer Spit Stix, who was tasty as ever. Seriously, go listen to The Record.
Gaslight Anthem is from NJ (like the Misfits) and must have been super excited to be sandwiched between two massive legends.
Now for the Misfits. Glenn! Jerry! Dave Lombardo! Some other guys on guitar. What else needs to be said?
Glenn's vocals were on point and Dave would throw in some Slayer licks every once in a while. It was a killer set. It'd post more pictures but we were in the nose bleed section and all the photos are blurry.
Here's a video of the crowd singing along to "Eagles"
The only downside to seeing Misfits is that you might wake up with the lyrics from "Bullet" running through you head.
