If, in a dream, you see a shooting star and make a wish on the star will the wish come true? Even though it was in a dream?

More weird dreams. I don't like them. I interpret them as I just have to walk away. What I want I will not get so just give up and stop fighting for it.

Soundwave was awesome. I actually wasn't that looking forward to it and thought about sleeping the whole day because I'm just so damn tired (when I get the opportunity to sleep in that is).

Got there in time for Monster Magnet. I saw them years ago in the late 90's when they toured with Tumbleweed. Not that I remember the gig much. MM were somewhat disappointing. They lacked life and energy and their songs were rather boring. The only two that I knew were good, but that's because I know them. The sound was not loud enough either.

Then onto Devildriver. Well I heard them anyway. It was a chance to find my friends, get some food, sit down and listen to some tunes. Then we disembarked and it was onto Social Distortion who I was looking forward to seeing. I really wanted to go in the pit and throw my body around but no-one to mind my baggy. Oh well, I had fun watching. I left SD after 20 or so minutes to catch Dimmu Borgir. Holy shit, they looked like they had just walked out of (or into) the apocalypse.

I saw a little bit of One Day as a Lion (Yawn!), ended up sitting down and chatting with a friend during 30 Seconds to Mars (Jared Leto's band). They didn't do anything for me, not my kind of music but the kids seemed to love it). Slayer were amazing!!!! I loved their music not really know any of it aside from Reigning Blood which they played and was fucking awesome.

Rob Zombie was good, I didn't think great. Sure I danced the whole time and had a good time but I don't think he was 100% up to par. He talked a little too much (given he didn't have a huge time on stage) and the solo from his guitarist during the last song was unnecessary (given it was shite). But he was good and I enjoyed it. Living Dead Girl was a whole beat too slow. It was like they fucked it up (him and the band) and were playing catch up with each other the whole way through the song. He didn't seem able to keep up with the music. But it takes a lot to sing and run around a stage.

Melvins were AWESOME!!! I thoroughly enjoyed their set completely. Never heard their music only knew about them since the days of Nirvana and knowing Melvins were a huge influence on them. I am so glad to say that I have seen them live. Two drummers and two bassists. Fucking awesome.

Then for the complete highlight and BEST BAND OF THE DAY.........

THE BRONX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man they rocked my socks off!!!! I jumped around and thrashed my head around the whole entire set (except for one song that was a wee bit slower). I loved them. Hardcore is me for sure. I love it!!! Even though I don't know much about it. It gets me going for sure. It's probably why I'm not feeling the greatest today. Feel like I'm coming down with a cold. Their performance was fantastic. The singer crowd surfing and singing at the same time, love that shit!

Saw the end of Iron Maiden - last 2-3 songs. They certainly can deliver that's for sure. They put on a great show but yeah, I'm happy with the last 2 songs. An hour of that I would not be able to handle. But I can say I've seen them, albeit 2 songs.

So much study to do this weekend. A whole week worths in 2 days.
