What we hearing? - Mudspike plays

We have tickets to see them on August 17th here in Charlotte. They were through last year with Thirty Seconds to Mars…an opener that was surprisingly good. We also went to see Korn last year and I swore I wouldn’t go back to PNC Pavilion to see another band because that show’s acoustics seemed horrible. But when your favorite band is coming to town (Linkin Park)…you just go see em’ no matter what.

We also saw them quite a few years back in Colorado after we had gone camping and hiked up two 14-ers (Torreys and Grays Peaks). Their show in Denver was simply awesome…the weather was perfect and the sunset was gorgeous and there was some lighting popping way off in the mountains…and Incubus opened for them, which was awesome in itself.

Pic from that concert taken by the newspaper:

I get that people don’t get mental health issues and everyone is entitled to their opinion on it. Personally, I’m just sad that people reach that point. I don’t care if you are a soldier that saw something that led to PTSD or a musician that was abused as a child or just a regular Joe that has some chemicals missing from your brain…mental health issues are tough for the people that have them, tough for their family members, tough for their friends…and in this case, tough for an even wider audience.

American Tour Dates have all been cancelled.

I figured as much. I was almost hoping they might have some guest lead singers fill in or something…I’d still go to show my support and help the group get through it. Totally understandable though.

Just received my e-mail from Live Events…

“We are incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Chester Bennington. The Linkin Park One More Light North American Tour has been canceled and refunds are available at point of purchase. Our thoughts go out to all those affected.”

Sadly, in my experience, it seems that those with incredible talent are often the ones so troubled with their own minds and souls; almost as if the talent is someone else trying to break free. I’m not a fan of Linkin Park, but this recent episode just goes to show that no matter how much we can achieve in our lives, sometimes it’s just not enough.

Anyways, since I’ve been playing Dishonored 2 a lot:

With six years as a tenor saxophonist under my belt I’m well aware I’m biased, but Matt Douglas breaking it down might be my favorite part of this session.

Also not much beats Sylvan Esso deconstructed and remade by way of San Fermin.

On an older note :slight_smile: one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs “Paint It Black” was released the year I was born! Pretty crazy how Mick Jagger still sounds great! He posted these a couple days ago …

One more thing … I wish we could somehow eradicate the “hardwired to self destruct” gene … worst gene of all.

Chill time…
