The duo of Chris Cornell and Tom Morello, simply amazing. You have Cornell, who's constantly singing against the music, and you have the most crisp sound guitar wa wa's and clean channels. Innovation, a strong dominant frontman, which just spells success, even when you are a bit lackadaisical from drinking rot gut Jack Daniels all day.
For the record, Good Charlotte is a tragedy to music, and against the opinions of numerous young lads I spoke with on the evening, Seether is faceless generic rock, but it's cool they are from South Africa.
Then you have a zealous religious institution in Shiner, who asks what has Audioslave done for you? Hmm, well other than rockin' my a$$ off, they sing heartfelt, emotional tunes that help people thru life's little problems of the heart.
Chris Cornell has a lot of soul, just pick up a copy of Euphoria Morning, listen to the sentiments, and you'll understand that yes, 'Jesus loves Chris Cornell' too, he is a mindful respectful person, so factor that into your equation before you 'cast stones'. Geeze, dorks --
The doc and Ronster the monster represeted for ATX this time around, the arty geeks led by Abs of Steel represted San Marcos, and just who was that loud douchebag who tried to monopolize conversation all Saturday night?
The highlight of the people crusade was Steve and his entourage from San Antonio. We Austin snobs have the slogan "Keep San Antonio Lame," well this wonderful crew of people are definately an exception to the rule. Steve and Keith (my Amphiteatre VIP buddies) and their better halves, 'Big Sean',who looks like Lenny and could definately kick anyone's butt, (wish he would have kicked douchebag's), and his better half seemed to have an amazing time, as I look forward to seeing y'all again very soon.
An exhausting weekend, but well worth it when the diplomats of rock and roll, Audioslave, say the simple words "Thank You Shiner Texas." --
