Where in the world can you find two guys making out in front of a crowd of hundreds? Where can you go just minutes after that scene, and see a stage full of ladies locked in passionate kisses? It's the same place that you can find a teenager trying to earn $100 by eating twenty hamburgers covered in peanut-butter and bananas as a tribute to Elvis. It is also the same place where two guys raced to see who could urinate in their pants first.
No, it is not in Florida. No, it does not involve the election. This wasn't nearly as nasty as all of that mess. This was the fan interactive, explosive, humorous, Bloodhound Gang concert this past Friday night at the New Daisy Theatre.
While the idea of any member of Bloodhound Gang kissing some guy may not be the most exciting thing to many people and watching someone going to the bathroom in their pants is gross to just about everyone, you can't help look past the disturbing scenes at their amazing live show. Playing all of their hits including "I wish I was Queer So I Could Get Chicks," and "Jimmy Pop (The Roof Is On Fire)" the guys had the crowd energized and mesmerized the entire time.
"Going into that show I was expecting a bunch of goof-offs to get on stage and bore me! It was so freaking good," said Richard Terry, a frequent concert attendee.
Another interesting thing took place during the show as well. Three opening acts left the crowd a bit restless. After a no name opening band, the London transplant group A played a surprising set. Then, tired of standing and burning up on the crowded floor, the fans booed third group Caviar off of the stage after just three songs.
Once Bloodhound Gang took the stage the fans forgot about the heat and got into a show that surpassed many expectations. Musically they were professional and skilled, between songs they were as immature and comical as Blink 182, and they treated the fans like kings offering money to anyone who was willing to make a fool out of themselves. Hey they are great guys. They were nice enough to dedicate the song "New Vagina," to all of the ladies in the house. They also poked fun at 'N Sync and other boy bands.
The only negative sight at the show was a back-drop that scratched off the Metallica logo and was replaced by the Bloodhound Gang's name. The fact that they goofed on one of the greatest live acts ever was a little upsetting, but it was all in good fun and was soon forgotten. How could one think about being insulted while their bass player stood in his American Flag underwear and led The Pledge?
