"harcore changed my life" - d. boon (kind of

)

i'll throw out a diatribe about my love for hardcore music!

^i traveled from reno, nv to the LA area to see this band two times when they re-united a few years ago.....i could have easily just gone to the two bay area shows but rumor was that at the orange county show uniform choice was going to be there and may talked into coming on stange for a short set....they did.....it fucking rocked....anyways point here right?....i traveled via greyhound bus (the worst way to travel in the states) for 16 hours and get to victorville ca....meet my friend, checked into a hotel...went out for a great meal and hit a couple of record stores then headed to the show....at the time i was 30 years old and he was 19 (met online....great kid)....we're at the show and the feeling there is fucking amazing.....we're towards the back and the two opening bands finished....he looks at me and says "you coming up front?" i tell him no.....just gonna stay back and let the kids have their fun......we agree to meet up out front at the end of the show and he heads into the crowd.....walter, civ and the boys take the stage to a roar of applaud....then i hear that horn intro.......the hair on my arms stand attention....and within milliseconds my mind goes crazy....."fuck age" by the time he screams "rebirth to hardcore pride" i'm up front fighting for the mic.....i walked out of that show bruised, bloody and literally dripping in sweat....by far one of the best shows i've ever been to....and i went two time in four days!
