Endfest 15

Will Ferrell - Actor/Comedian

Chad Smith - Drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Seperated at birth??? The similiarities are uncanny.

This weekend my girlfriend and I were fortunate to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, LIVE, at the White River Amphitheatre. The Chili Peppers were amazing! They performed beyond my expectations and seeing Flea, John Frusciante, Chad Smith, and Anthony in their element was a sight to behold. Saturday night's performance will go down as one of the best concerts I have ever seen.



Originally, we planned on not attending due to the lackluster line-up (see Wolfmother, The Subways, Rock Kills Kid, etc.), however our indeciveness and love for a band that has reached that magical age where rock musicians get too tired to tour--we decided that it would be in our best interest to catch them before they disappear.


I remember reading about how the Mars Volta walked off the stage during a concert because the audience wasn't listening to them perform. On Saturday, the Mars Volta opened for the Chili Peppers and I was looking forward to their performance. About 2 songs in, Cedric (the lead singer) began making fun of himself for the way he dances on stage but then also made fun of some of the kids that were in the pit slam-dancing/mosh-pitting. I believe he said something along the lines of, "my dancing might be out of date but not as bad as, well, it's 2006 and we still have these fucks who slam-dance!"

After the 3rd song, Cedric warned whoever was in the crowd throwing "shit" at them to go get lost. Fast-forward to the middle of the 4th song, Omar began banging his guitar into his guitar cabinets and the song halted. Cedric told the crowd that they were not going to play anymore and that the crowd find the kid throwing urine at them, bring the kid to the Mars Volta for a lynching, and that they would receive anything they wanted.

What the hell is the world coming to when people are throwing urine at bands at shows!?!
