B*U*S*H Concert Reviews
Ok well this is an accounct of my B*U*S*H concert.
It was last spring on a thursday .
i went with about 5 of my friends and we waited on line for tickets in the snow for almost 5 hours and it was worth the wait since we got into the mosh pit .
ok so cutting to the concert,it started at 7:00 and me and my friends tried to get as close to the stage as possible when No Doubt came out.
Now i dont like No Doubt but they got the audience really hyped up and into it,i got hit in the head so many times from crowd surfers and thrown into those circles where they mosh and i was sure i wasnt gonna live to see bush.
I also thought i wasnt going to live thru the goo goo dolls either since yeah i liked "name"but toherwise they were pretty boring to watch and i was getting resless to see bush.
Finally they came out opening with Monkey and that was so amazing esp. when he went "you take these shitty photos when will you be worthy.."
they played these songs:
machinehead-it didnt come out as a single yet but it was one of my favorite songs and they rocked at it
broken tv
swim
body
bomb-MUCH better live than on the cd
x-girlfriend
little things
come down-awesome-gavin was rolling around on the ground during nigels solo with his guitar
alien-it was literally the most amazing thing i ever heard live or otherwise
bubbles
they played glycerine and everything zen for the encore ,both werew the best played of the night..gavin kept jumping up on the speakers and screaming at us"1 2 3 fuck you!"
gavin was so wasted though and during little things started moaing really loud and finally sceaming his lungs out before the part"i touch your mouth my willy is food.."
it was such an awesome night and the only tnings that sucked was they didnt play testosterone and our pictures didnt come out:).
i cant wait till they come back to new york again if if you didnt see them the 1st time around..definetly try to catch them this time!

he then

Gavin was next. we waited for him behind him and he

i just thought he

he turned and turned back to me and

he walked away and onto

we turned on the road

Our
