KORN!!!!!!

We got to the Rave at about 700. We got our $7 dollar beers and took a seat on the floor, near the back but still on the hardwood floor. At 740 everyone stood up at once. so we got ready for some music. The tickets all say 800 for the starting time, so we were ready. Than we waited 30 minutes. yeah, 30. At 830 Chuck Mosley took the stage. No one had heard of this guy before. His solo album isn't even out yet. Bad choice.

He played two songs before everyone started to realize the truth. The guy can't sing. Plus, he was mumbling and fidgeting like he was on something. We started to boo. And we threw up the middle fingers. The band was decent, the lead singer was garbage. They got maybe 5 or 6 songs in, with little breaks in between where Mosley just blabbed about nothing. After they left the stage it was about 920. Suddenly, we were surrounded. The crowd packed in. The floor was full. At 945 the KoRn backdrop came up. At 1000 we were covered in sweat. At 1020, Korn Took the stage.

First song out of the gate was Right Now. There was no intro spoken. They just got up and went right into the show. We were jumping. About half way through the crowd got pushed back about 4 feet. We almost got trampled. The pit had started. It was so crowded, that even if I wanted to get in the pit, it would have been near impossible. Korn followed there opening song with "Chi" and than "Did my time" Oh, man. I was already hoarse from screaming along to the first 3 songs.

Than we got "Thoughtless" and follow that up with "Falling Away from Me". Finally, Jonathan Davis took a break to talk to us. He did the normal "Hello Milwaukee!" and set up the next song. "Coming Undone" One of my favorite Korn songs. Needless to say I was head banging so hard my neck hurts. After the first verse and chorus, suddenly the drummer changed the beat just a bit, and Jonathan Davis began to sing "We Will rock you" by Queen. After a verse and a chorus of that, they finished singing Coming Undone. Davis walked of stage and came back out with his Bagpipes. We got the intro to Shoots and Latters, but sadly not the rest of it.

Then they played "Helmet in the Bush". "Here to Stay", and "Fake" We than got the best part of Metallica's "One" The "Landmines, have taken my...." Part.

"Freak on a Leash" Followed. Another break as Davis got on the Mic again. He told us to put our middle fingers in the air and scream "F- That!" That turned into "Y'all want a single". What a great intro.

"Somebody Someone" ended the show. Or not, We stayed put. Korn returned for an Encore.
That's when we got "Blind" Davis than said "If you don't know this next song, your not a Korn fan. "Got the life". We than got a guitar solo from Fieldy and Munky. That turned into "Another Brick In The Wall" That sold it as the best concert I have ever seen. We got out of there at around 1145. Such a great show. So amazing. I can die happy now.

I still don't have my voice 100% back, and my legs are still sore from standing for so long. And jumping up and down. So worth it though.
