when Jesus comes and stage dives, blesses the snare drum, and starts rave dancing in the middle of you playing "Fergilicious".
No joke (wait, I'm lying, joke...)

When the guitar players rig is the size of his tackle, rather than his ego. |

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | When the lead singer can punch a paying customer in the nose in the parking lot on Friday night, and the owner still lets you come back on Saturday. |

All the hair on your body is standing up and the Music is playing you.
Those nights are magic and every note is killing!
If I need to explain further - then you just don't understand.

When you can spontaneously change the arrangement onstage and it works.
When someone from another band on the bill says, "WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THOSE GUYS??????"
The bartender asks you to give him bass lessons.
All these things actually happened for me.

Get ready for a treat (that doesn't involve nudity)!
