Trans-Siberian Orchestra
WARNING - spoilers!
Our family likes the classical/rock Christmas stuff we'd heard from TSO, so I got us tickets for their show in Portland. I had heard there would be lasers.
Oh. My. God. This was the cheesiest, overblown, self-aggrandizing, over-the-top show I have ever witnessed - it even topped PARODIES of overblown rock shows. From the big hair to the scantily clad singers/dancers to the LED screens, lasers, fog and pyrotechnics, it transported us back to the 1980s, and not in a good way.
The first half of the show, the Christmas parable about the angel and such, was schmaltzy, preachy and...

metallica
If I had only one sentence to describe metallice, it would be the greatest heavy metal band in the world!!! The band has been turning heads non stop in the world of rock and roll since the early 1980's. I cant think of one album that they have put out that I havent probably spent one hundred hrs listening to. This band has always been unique in its own way, including the five minute power solos, to the crazyness on stage. Like all bands though, they have gone ythrough some rough times, with their first bass guitarist getting killed to the singers addiction to be a boozer. now they are rocking out...

Since then, Lee has said it was almost a relief that he left because of tensions created within the band. Terry Balsamo from Cold joined the band, replacing Moody. Recently,...

Relient K
I absolutely love Relient K's music... just about all of it. Of my 25 top played songs on my iPod, 14 of them are by Relient K. Relient K is a punk/alternative bank with fun and inspiring lyrics. I saw them in concert once and it was excellent... well, except for the sound guy who messed up some of the sound balancing for a song or two, but that wasn't the band's fault. If they ever do another concert near me again, I will definitely go.
My favorite song varies from day to day, but it is probably either "I so hate consequences," "Be my escape," "Pressing on" or "Up and up." Every time...
