OT: BMG rocks!

Went to see Blue Man Group (my avatar) last night for my birthday! They put on an awesome show. If you get a chance to see them do go, you'll be entertained, amazed and laugh until you cry.
Just to give this a FTE old truck spin, some of their instruments looked like manure spreader grills or bag of snakes headers.

I saw them at a Vegas show and I second the vote. People, you have got to go see them. Totally outragious and really cool at the same time. You will laugh yourself silly.

Now that you mention it did look like old truck parts.....

Happy B-day AX

I don't know why, I can't really put my finger on it, but for some reason I think you might be biased.....

LOL, yea, they are amazing!

So....with your avatar this is the first time you've seen them? Saw them at the Colo Springs World Arena a few years ago. Great show! Tracy Bonham opened, then sang during several numbers. She was great in the electric dress. Was glad I wasn't the guy in the audience who got the camera stuck into his mouth for every one to see. Funny show, but great music. Do you have any of their cd's?
Oh, Happy Birthday.

BMG is next on the list . They perform in Orlando , about 2 hrs. away . Turned a long time friend onto them . She was very pleased . Want some sensory overload ? A must see during the Holiday Season is TSO =Trans Siberian Orchestra .They are just plain BAD *** !!! Seen them again this yr. down south in Miami .If they would have had performances back in the dark days ( some of you know what I mean ) like TSO I believe a person would have had a hard time making it thru 3 hrs. of that .Believe one would have been calling for your mama , hiding under the nearest object , or calling for the EMT's for some treatment .Expierenced the KISS show at the Hard Rock in Hollywood , Fla on St .Pat 's Day .Won the tickets on the radio . What a show !! Seen some major boobage walking around . Almost had to ask this young sweet thing if she put her skimpy little black dress on wet ! That thing was TIGHT !! The KISS show was the 86th top name band I have seen . Going for 100 then will quit .

Thanks for the B-day wishes, but I wasn't fishing for them, I'd would rather forget I'm another year older.

Yes, this was the first time I saw them live.
If you don't know what BMG is, then you need to watch this:

+1 BMG is awesome. Saw them in Vegas, front row. I don't know if they still do the paper thing at the end but climbing out of that pile that accumulates at the front was something else.

HAPPY B-DAY !!! WOW I always wanted to see BMG. But living in the backwood has its downfalls. We don't get show like that around here. Thank God for cable tv.
