late posting a couple of show reviews they will be here soon!

On this page I'll include reviews of the shows I've seen by this band, both recently and in years past. I'll also include reviews that others send me.Until Disturbed comes to Florida, I'll review my past shows from start until now;) I'm back in Ohio and on to Minnesota next. Some new show reviews and one coming soon!

JULY 2000 @ OZZFEST

My very first DISTURBED show!! I was so excited. A client of mine hooked me up with VIP passes to the rocking occassion. I was nine rows from the stage. Made it just in time to see the band start. The music was loud! So loud that I could feel it FEEL IT. In all my live shows up to this point I had never FELT it. Man, I am going to have to write about my shows when they happen. Bear with me the reviews will get better. Okay so they might not be good reviews , but they are good stories for me. I was physically shaking when the set was over. My buddy Jeff ran over and asked what I thought, and why are you shaking. Oh my god. I fucking love DISTURBED!!! I could feel that!!

Nothing but DISTURBED on my mind. I could see all of them mingling with the crowd. Jeff told me I should go say Hi, but what would I say. Nothing, I was too shy. I didn't want to interrupt them around other people.

OCTOBER 2000 @ NEWPORT

This one introduced me to crowd surfing. I learned where to stand for a DISTURBED concert. I made it a point to dress up for a party. I guess I looked like I partied harder that I did at the time. The guy I was dating lifted me to get on his shoulders. We get situated the show starts someone grabbed my arm. The next thing I am screaming thinking oh fuck I am all the way up front. A huge thanks to the crowd for being so nice floating me to the front. Back to the drawing board gotta get to the man and a spot to watch the band. I can't get through the crowd at all. I get claustrophobic and crowd surf to get out. I went and stood by Flattop BOB . I could see the band and was okay knowing I'm not going to be crushed. Bob asked if I was getting back in the pit. With a shudder and a nod no. I raise my fist up with DISTURBED.

APRIL 2001 @ NEWPORT

So I am in the front row and I am not moving. I will not miss such a show for any reason at all. I bought my preshow pass. Got in a half hour before the doors opened. Got me a spot in front of the rail. No intentions of moving. Not until it is over. Great bands at every DISTURBED show! Once Godhead were done performing I was approached with "You must have got here early to get such a good spot?". Yes I did sir and I'm not moving til the show is over."how would you like to meet the band?" I said yes thinking I was going to meet Godhead. I am a cosmetologist/barber who loves to do make up and Godhead had a cool look going on. He gives me a guest pass and I see that cool as shit smiley face. Now I am nervous. It's DISTURBED! What will I say to them?

Got some bruises under the right armpit from hanging sideway at the rail. Hot from the crowd sweaty covered with some alcohol. Were instructed with ours passes to the designated spot to meet the band.

Fuzz, Mike and Dan come out. Still being shy I watch and they shake everyone's hands. They are so nice. I get a sticker and my jeans signed. They all crouch down to sign them. I knew those jeans would become daisy duke shorts just in time for summer. Dan had such red hair! When I introduced myself to Dan, I told him who I was and if he ever needed his hair done when he's in Columbus, I'll hook him up. He asked for my business card. A revelation!!!!

I suddenly knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life(But that's a whole other story)

David was the last to come out. His piercings got my attention. Do those hurt? I ask. He laughs and says no. He lifted my leg to sign my jeans ( hoping I don't fall in these 6 inch heels) I had another revelation.

I went home feeling like the most powerful female with the smartest head and toughest ass to survive the front row!

MAY 2001 @ NAUTICA

What a kick ass show that was. I had two days off work for the occassion. A good 3 hour drive to Cleveland to see DISTURBED. I get there early( gotta get in front). I arrive 5 hours before the doors open. DISTURBED is out saying hello to the fans. A good amount of us got to the door ahead of time. They started a line we got to wait by the door. Someone approached and said there is the band don't you want to meet them? I said I already had a month ago in Columbus. I didn't want to interupt them talking to others. The sound check was phenominal! I had never been to Cleveland before now and I had no idea what it was going to be like. Waiting I watched sooo many strechers go in to set up, I felt like a cartoon Tom when Jerry sics Spike on him and he gulps. The palms sweaty. I hope I survive this one. Outside show on concrete. ooohhh shit! Caught my first guitar pick from Spineshank. Nothingface and Mudvayne also played.The make up caught my attention for Mudvayne. Nothingface rocked. Man the front row was an adrenelene rush. People not even surfing but diving and landing head first on the concrete.So many they can't all be saved. I hang on and nothing disrupts my view. except a few flying people.Nice and LOUD!! Gotta love it through the concrete. A gift of a left cigarette was given after the show while waiting for the crowd to thin out. One of the security men came up too me. Me freaking for a sec and he says" Here I was told to give you these. Out of all the people in the front row, you were the only one who lasted all night. " They were part of FUZZ's bass strings. I was told. I believe him.

I went out to eat at a little 24 hr stop by the hotel. Ate with a fellow concert goer, we went to the hotel and talked about music all night.

AUGUST 2001 @ OZZFEST

I can't tell everything from this day. DISTURBED was suppose to on the 2nd stage. How great for me! Just kidding...NO concrete DISTURBED for me this time.That's okay the warning was way ahead of time they would be performing on the main and DISTURBED is so great of course they have to let everyone see. There is no problem hearing them!;) I meet Otis from Kentucky. A real nice guy. On top of the hundred I had, my mom having a cool moment, gave 100 more.Otis and I took turns with our rounds and got evry third round free. Walked around in circles talking to Otis and enjoying Ozzfest. Oh shit!!! I just missed 4 bands I really wanted to see...

I love Ozzfest. It was the first Ozzfest where I had to stop drinking by a certain time to be able to get to the after party with the locals. The after Party I went to was at the Alrosa Villa. Man, I LOVE THAT PLACE!!

So DISTURBEDS turn to go on. Otis and several nice men around me all took turns letting me be on their shoulders for DISTURBEDS set. I didn't miss a single thing! My fist in the air the whole time. Never a disappointment. I do remember yelling I AM FUCKING DISTURBED!!!!!!

OCTOBER 2001 @ PROMOWEST PAVILLION

I had just started barber college in Dayton and was really looking forward to a drive up to Columbus to see them. Promowest is very new and I take the day off school and make my roomate go with me.( just in case I need back up in such a new invironment) We get there before noon 7 hours ahead of doors opening. We take a peek around back (the outside part not done yet). Waiting loving the scene I watch every bus pull in. Godhead is with them again! The sound check I looked forward to. I could feel it through the front doors. Pressing my head, my hands, and back to the doors feeling it. Doors open and my roomate was also my drink bearer. The first time I got liquored in the front row of a DISTURBED show! This is gonna be great! And it was. I caught a towel from Godhead's guitarist Mike Miller and it had nice black lip prints on it. I caught it with my pinky and had a death grip on it. Someone behind me had it too. I'm not about to let go! Oh, it's my roomate he lets go.

I had a blast the lights, the sound, the feel, the DISTURBED smileyfaces all over the venue. The people. Alas no bruising at this show my roommates fresh tattoo from yesterday took up half his arm and all the bruises I might have received. He whined and I reminded him he knew what my rules were for a DISTURBED concert. Another great concert!

August 13, 2006

WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA

OZZFEST

This was a great Ozzfest for me! a 5 hour drive. Blistering heat. In a new state. my first time seeing system of a down.

Disturbed rocked the most!!!

I won't drone on the long day and all the events- I will start when I arrived on the lawn to set my spot for Disturbed's set. I met a really hot man named javier. He was my dancing partner for soad and Disturbed. I saw him laying on the lawn and approached. It had been many years since the mere sight of a man who is so hot made me stop dead in my tracks. I was like you can't sleep yet, disturbed is coming on. he was saving some energy. Do you know what I'd like to do to you right now I asked. I am a sucker for a hot man with pierced nipples.... he smiled and asked what would you like to do. He allowed me to grab a hold of his nipple ring with my teeth and give a little yank. great way for me to get aroused right before disturbed's set.

We were partner's for the rest of the night. ;)

Disturbed rocked!!! I lost the whole sole to my boot by the time the set was done.

I don't know what else to say about this particular show- Ozzfest is pretty self explainatory. I had always heard the last stop of the tour in Florida is the party night and it definately was for me- very glad I had a designated driver. high on nipple biting and Disturbed and hot hot weather.

Not much else mattered that day. Disturbed was it. That is why I was there.

NOVEMBER 2001 @ HARA ARENA

So I want to be in the front row and I don't know if that is possible in an arena. I ask the girl @ Kroger Tickmaster and she says it is all general admission. Great! I leave school at 2pm Hara is very close. Never been there before. I am the only one in shorts and a bikini top. I know how hot it gets in front. The sound check was the best yet. The metal on the outside of Hara shook and rattled to DISTURBED. Do you see that? I yell to whoever is listening around me.That is the most bad ass thing to see! DISTURBED making the outside of the building shake;) I get thru the door. The line a little longer than what I wanted. The girl says you can't go to the floor. Wrong ticket. You can sit in any of the seats upstairs. That bitch at kroger lied! I run RUN to the upstair seating.After Systematic was done playing, one of security came over and asked me if I wasnted to upgrade. Four people on the floor didn't want to be there in a sold out house, so four of us in the fisrt row of seats first four seats got upgraded. I was in the first seat. The closest I could get from the upperhouse. Led to the floors we were shown our only way in and out off the floor. I get set to ATTEMPT and get up front. After that bitch lied to me the best thing to happens would be not miss DISTURBED. Do you remember Stereomud? I am a Soundevice fan today. A little farther ahead in the crowd. Drowning Pool is coming on. I might get hurt when Bodies starts. The flow of the crowd @ Hara Arena is not making me claustraphobic, I am flowing with them, my fist in the air, I am almost up from. I LOVED hearing Bodies live. I missed them at Ozzfest. The lights go down DISTURBED is coming out!!!! The man in front of me motions to have his spot. I nod yes and he pushes me in spot & he jumps out. Just in time!! DISTURBED & Jess is again in front row!

The bruises on my ribs, back and under the armpit. The bruise on the ribs was the biggest and worst to date. I love it!! I am FUCKING DISTURBED!

SEPTEMBER 2002 @ PROMOWEST PAVILLION

I am 7 months pregnant. waited a while for DISTURBED. Believe is being released and this is a chance to hear before the album comes out in a few weeks. I arrive early as usual. Right by the door. Being so far along I know I can't handle being up front. I keep the whole back of my body up against the pavillion door so Viktoria could feel the soundcheck. a few approval kicks from her. She already likes Prayer. At the last minute when the doors open. I go ahead and get up front. Being in such a preggo mind it would be easier to get out when it gets rough. Than to get a wild hair and try to get through the pit and get stuck. I press my hands on the rail, press my feet to the ground firm. Thankful of the mild opener( sorry i don't rmember who you were:( i was 7 months pregnant;) DISTURBED is next! I stick my ass out behind me so my belly doesn't touch the rail. This is the most primal I've seen out of me yet. No one can budge me! I get bumped some and the security showed me how to stand to avoid the surfers. Excellent show!! Viktoria approves. We both survive. I get stuck in my space in the parking lot for an hour and a half. Exhausted like I've never been before. Viktoria starts her DISTURBED concert and doesn't stop moving for 2 days.

MARCH 2003 @ HARA ARENA

Lessons learned A roadtrip this time from my mom's house a 2 1/2 hour drive. I definately made sure i had the correct ticket for the floor. I am the first person to step out on the floor.how does it feel? I am asked. I let out a hoop to hear the echo and dash to the front. I get stopped a few feet before the stage and they make us all sit down. That freaked me because I fear When the show starts I will get trampled in my seat. Nope I do great jump up in time, and I have a great view of the bands. I drank, the lady beside got her ticket free she bought mine and we drank the whole night. Unloco rocked!! Chevelle and Taproot rocked. The crowd seemed a little mild. It's DISTURBED!! That's what I like. Music as a weapon two. Just as great as the first. Can't wait for the third! I caught a Chevelle pick and a DISTURBED pick. I found one on the floor as I was leaving and gave it to a younger fan. Another great DISTURBED night. I did have some driving issues on the way home. Saw my first set of handcuffs outside of the bedroom;) I made out okay. Although I had to have a ride from the state highway post. That sucked at 4:30 am.

AUGUST 2003 @ OZZFEST

There hasn't been an electrocution or straight jacket opener or gas chamber but it's okay. It doesn't detract at all from the performance. I got to do some work at Ozzfest. No hair services for bands but I did have an honor of setting up the second stage that year. I worked harcore 3-5 hrs and was told to have a great time the rest of the day. I did! Unloco rocked. I got to see Marilyn Manson close for the first time. Halfway in the pavillion seating and I was blessed to get a side aisle seat! Great view for DISTURBED! Got to feel it. Got to love it. I've seen the greatest band I have ever wanted to work for. Running on one hour of sleep I take it easy for the rest of the day. I skipped out on Ozzy(forgive me dark prince of metal) I had been there since 3:30am and I hear Oz's set from the parking lot while trying to figure out where I parked that morning.

I did wait 2 hours and bought my 3rd the sickness to meet the band and I got it signed for my little cousin amanda.

Got to meet Unloco and they knew I was the hairdresser that had been polluting their message board that summer.

JULY 2004 @ PROMOWEST PAVILLION

This is the best/most DISTURBING day yet.

My car runs like shit, my fake boyfriend humors me and says he'll give me a ride. I left with my flintstone mobile very furious and DISTURBED, I do not want to be late. A kick to my ass my fake man beats me there. So pissed I won't talk to him or look at him. I could not stand to be near him. I flipped him off from the front, to him on the lawn. Good he saw me. I felt less DISTURBING. All of the people that love me I got to hug while waiting in line. They asked how I was and all I could reply was I am DISTURBED.

Little did I know what was in my cards for tonight.

I was so mad all day that when Damage Plan came out I GOT SHOVED OUT OF MY SPOT. Just added to my pissy day. It was a mean pit. I was mean to the jerks who bumped me out. I hate disrespect. I'm just a little woman. I used the pit shoves to my advantage to elbow those who bumped me out. I know I left bruises. The perks of pit movement. The lawn was mild and the pit/ concrete was an experience. I followed the outer edge of the pit. Squeezing, sliding,ducking through the crowd. The music loud and I feel it. I am too short and the crowd is too big to see. I am fucking DISTURBED. I will not crowd surf! Way too many people surfing have been dropped. So I do my DISTURBING best to adapt. I survive looking pretty rough. I made it a point to not have sun melted make up on me for DISTURBED. Wading through the crowd at the end, feeling better than ever for the day, I see Dimebag Darrell coming my way.The most genuine kindness I had ever met. He immediately shook my hand. He had the best smile. All I could think was I'd love to get my hands on that red goatee. I loved the show, I said to him. He said Have a great night sweety, with a hug. That was it. We part, I scan the crowd, think of how dirty I look and feel, and Dimebag just saw me this way. Sucked I happened to be out of business cards. The cards would not have survived( thanks to myself for not losing the id) and there hadn't been any extra time to hand it off. I won't tell you how shitty the rest of my night was. What a great fucking DISTURBED show!!! Thanks to the pit crowd for allowing me to release my frustrations of the day. How rocking of Dimebag to be so great to greet.

I learned that night I can only go to DISTURBED concerts solo. It's more fun anyway!!! This particualr DISTURBED show was definately what I needed at the moment. Thank you for the experience!

See you in the front row!!!!

FEB 10 & FEB 11 2006 @ JANNUS LANDING- ST PETERSBURG,FL

So I have alot to write about my double dose of Disturbed!! The shows sold out before I could get my tickets. An outside venue, I had no problem going to hear from outside. The local radio down here was having a last minute contest- Disturbing Behavior for Disturbed tickets. 8 am I call the station to get details and I am told to come to the station now. I get there at 9:45 and I am the last one accepted in. There were a couple of options... spin the wheel and do what it says.. icy hot on the face or eating live shrimp or eating a stick of butter or the options of nipple or genital piercings. For the sake of Disturbed I was willing to get my hood pierced. Well they had no more Disturbed tickets left so I played for Staind. last second deciding nipples pierced for Staind.... They brought me and another chick in and the game was a make out session. The first one to back off losses. neither of us were willing to give. Here I am live on the air fully naked getting licked down there by another chick. mild celebrity status and a nickname of crown royal;) I had a pair of Staind tickets now to barter with once I make it to Jannus Landing.

I arrive at Jannus Landing and find 2 tickets for saturday's show and traded mine even up. Greatness!! Then I find a ticket for the show that night.. paid $25 less than expected.

I had stickers to distribute and ended up giving all of them away the first night.

walking around checking out the scene and my energy is at it's highest peak. The gentleman who got a prince albert for tickets noticed me from the radio station and needed someone to go to the meet and greet with him. I had my resume in my purse just in case I had the opportunity to get it in the hands of the band. How awesome for me to meet them again and when I asked David Draiman if I could leave something for them he replied with a yes. After 5 yrs of chasing them with my hair services and well over a dozen resumes later I finally got to put my resume in their hands personally. Rock on!! The most rocking 2 shows ever!! My disturbed view was off to left back a half dozen rows and standing on a bench between the forked tree. A great view and a phenominal show!!! It didn't stop there... ZEROCREEP the most intense band I've heard yet here in FL!!! Those awesome boys got to play the after Disturbed and talk about a double dose is an understatement. Between the 2 bands for both days it was a quadruple dose of intense rock.

The next day I was more prepared. no extra sweatshirt, no purse, no resume, no signed poster. Just me in my raw Disturbed form ready for my next dose.

I explore the bar beside the venue and drink 3 dollar Tanqueray and tonics, find a concert companion, had a make out session with a hottie who thought I looked to cold in the rain and he felt the need to warm me up before the show. My first line cut ever my concert buddie hooks me in the spot.in all my 13 disturbed shows I have had the opportunity to get drunk during the shows until now.... nicely intoxicated and a doobie smoked Disturbed starts and I am rocking out on a nice tough set of shoulders. We stop and start wading thruogh the crowd. i lose my buddie in the pit and I keep moving forward. Overburdened was performed and I was so happy. I wasn't expecting to hear that tune live. A disgruntled female hating and kicking the shit out of my leg for a couple songs. I just turn and lay on a smile. I've been disturbed before at a Disturbed show, but this chick fool had no idea who she was messing with. The bruises and pain will not stop me from making it to the front;) I keep going and catch the last few songs from front row. Although when Down With The Sickness for the encore I jumped the rail with the nicest assistance and singing to everyone I pass as I head to the back for my Zerocreep. the break in dwts the meanness of no mommy here it comes get ready to die I am going off with it and then laugh as I realize Zerocreep's frontman is standing right by me. Only my daughter ever hears me sing..... blushing and laughing that a lead singer got a hint of my Disturbed vocals- I still thought it was great. My concert buddy Bill came back to check out Zerocreep and i am going to follow up with a phone call to him;)

It was the best weekend of my life!!!!!

NOVEMBER 25, 2006

HARA ARENA

DAYTON,OHIO

Let me start off by saying WOW!!!! What a show! Hara Arena for the third time. I made it just in time for the soundcheck- that wonder power rattling Hara's walls- the sound of the metal siding feeling the effects of DISTURBED- So many newbies there for their 1st Disturbed- Me doing my 15th. Upon entering I go to the right side of the stage secure a great seat in the first row and wait for the show to start. I completely scope out the floor trying to figure out how to sneak to the floor when the lights go down- also contemplating whether or not i really want to lose my great seat. Nonpoint went on first- rocking great as always- In The Air Tonight was what I was looking forward to hearing live and I wasn't disappointed.

I am such a lucky bitch at Disturbed shows it will never cease to amaze me- I struck up a conversation with one of Stone Sour's finest. So kind of him to let me borrow his pass so I wouldn't have to feel so restricted in my seat. I made my way to the floor, returned the pass, hand a nice introduction. He went back to work and I stated my way thru the crowd ready to rock full on Disturbed style in my psychobarberbitch way;) Flyleaf was next. The crowd was mild- made for a nice dance sesions with no interruptions. The crowd cleared some and I moved onward for Stone Sour. Let me say how much they rocked!!! The sweatshirt stripped down- I was nice and warm by now.The crowd woke up the sound and show was great!!! I can not wait for my next Stone Sour concert.

Oh god my anticipation for my favorite band..... When those lights went down and shit got started I made it second row behind some guys who kept my visuals clean and open. Releasing it all killer show- all my favorite tunes- the pyros started when Overburden was performed. Stupify was halfway thru the set. I do think I have tan lines from the fire, but i made it with no bruises. Land Of Confusion really got the crowd going. Mike's drums boomed. John's bass thumped. Dan's guitar wailed great. David's vocals were as great as always. Loving every moment. Never disappointed. Slightly above my usual expectations.

Of all the newbies in the crowd what a great way to lose the Disturbed concert virginity.

I love it!!!

ready for # 16
