IAN:
I saw the Mike Watt band (w/Vedder, Grohl & Smear) in NYC about a year
ago. Was a good show, Vedder did on knee tuck on one song (there's THEWHO
related material for this post). Not being familiar with their material,
I can't give a fair review.... Foo Fighters was one of the opening acts,
Grohl was a friggin' madman onstage.....
I'd love to see B&B comment on a Who video sometime.....Uhhhhh, its like
these guys like, smash their equipment, because, like the guitarist is
like pissed off that he has a really bif schnoz.....YEA YEA!!! Break it,
smash it!!!! COOL!!!!!!!!!!
