I've seen Van Halen with David Lee Roth, AC/DC, KISS, BLack Sabbath and Iron Maiden. None of those shows compare to this one. Best show I've been to. Ever. I started out towards the back of the place and by the end of the show I was in the second row from the stage. I had to hop the barrier to get over, but it was well worth it. Damn good show. Some guy dressed as Gene Simmons was there too, just walking around in full make up and the armor and all that. I got some pictures from the show but they're on my mom's camera and I'm at my friends place and don't have the cable. I'll get them up tomorrow.
I met Mike and Jeff from Paul's band and Jeff, John, and Scott from Racer X after the show. Eric Martin was there and I met him. He said Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey were there but took off because they "couldn't handle Racer X" haha. They were all really cool guys. Also met EricF from the board.

Ok here's some bullets for you guys
- Jeff's singing is better than ever, really. He sounded SOOO on tonight. Amazing.
- I will never watch SOD again.. this show blew it away.
- Ibanez put a barrier between "vip" people and everyone else.. and I almost literally 'broke barriers' jumping over the fence and sneaking to the front.. before I knew it Brono, Gatxman, and many other people were all around me.
- Jeff realized where the fans were and the show was REALLY personal, i'm talkin' Jeff's sweat personal haha!
- It was great meeting you other dudes on the board! Keith and Brono.
- Jeff was fantastic, he's such a good person. Easily one of the, if not THE nicest celeb i've ever met. His family is cool too!
- Scott was in a hurry, but still cool
- John was hesitant but his girlfriend/wife? convinced him to be nice "This kid was in the front row singing the words to every song! and I was just wondering.. he's so young how does he know all the words?" Haha so yeah he was nice after that!
- I could tell Jeff REALLY loves performing, and he really made the night. He moved the show, his stories were fantastic, his singing was FUCKING SPOT ON!!!!!!!!! and most of all he was BADASS.
- Highlight of the night: Singing Racer X tunes cheek to cheek with Jeff and other fans!!
- Lowlight of the night: Paul leaving me sad in the dust... but everyone else more than made up for it!
Some more cool things!
Meeting and chatting with the following
- Mike Szuter, he was so cool!
- Jeff Bowders, had a pretty good chat with him and ran into him many times! He rocks.
- Freddie Nelson, such a damn cool dude!! Really great to meet and talk to him.
- Guthrie Govan!!, THE coolest dude i've ever had a chance to meet
I will add even more later.. my only regret of the night was that so many people were there who weren't fans, you guys deserved it so much more than 90% of people in there.
And I KNOW! If it were up to John, Scott, and most of all Jeff.. then you guys would be seeing Racer X soon.

I was talking to Mike Szuter and he said he was with Paul the night before and they only got 4 hours of sleep. Add that to a whole day at NAMM and playing 2 sets in a row. I was kind of irked by it but then talked to Mike and I understood the whole thing. I guess the tequila didn't wake him up

It's super cool you met Guthrie Govan. Lots of people have said he's really nice in-person.

I know man! The second I got in my first thoughts where, there's NO WAY IN HELL I'm seeing Racer X from across the room. I'm glad you guys all made it up and in such perfect places too! It was really one of the most fun experiences of my life... my voice is going to be gone for a few days though. haha.
There really was so much that happened though.. i'm trying to think of everything but I got a headache! Too much!
