This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of going to the KROQ Weenie Roast (for free). 

 First of all, I have to do a shout-out to all the bands dedicated to wearing black, even in 90+ degrees. Dude from Scars on Broadway, even wore a leather jacket. gold star for dedication, thumbs down for sucking. 

 Okay, so thanks to the lovely John Wilson, I missed mgmt on the smaller stage, but I expect that they were nothing short than amaaaaazing! 

 Anyway, the first band I saw was Scars on Broadway (I caught the end as I came in to see Pennywise). Pennywise was good. They're old, but it was nice to sing all their hits. Then, it was Bad Religion. I really wanted to like them, cuz he's from UCLA and all, but they suck. Their best asset was the guitarist … in a kilt. :p 

Rise Against was okay. I didn't mind them too much. The Raconteurs were great! I love them, but they weren't the type of music the crowd was pumped for. Also, they have great music, but not a huge stage presence. Jack White. :p The Offspring were next. They were the offspring; they were whatever.

 THEN, METALLICA. 

 I want to point out to ya'll that Lars admitted that his two favorite records right now are by The Arctic Monkeys. I interpreted that as an offcial apology for being such a douchebag over the years. Thanks Lars!

 Love,

Andrea
