So I'm going to come right out and say it

BabyMetal is a kick ass band. Saw them a couple weeks back with my 16 year old daughter, and caught them again tonight at Louder Than Life. Fantastic energy from the band, the drummer in particular is a fricken beast, and the front trio really know how to get the crowd pumped.

So last night I realized I'm effing old.

Just for the record I'm closer to 60 than 50.

Took my teenaged daughter to a concert last night. The first band, what I usually call the 'sacrificial lamb' because they usually suck, was called Violent Vira, and they were actually pretty frikken good. Going to research their discography this week. That's how much they impressed me.

Second band was Halestorm, and it's not the first time I've seen them. They, like always, didn't disappoint. Lzzy was on point the whole set, and her brother on drums was super.

Headliner was BabyMetal, first time seeing them, but I've listened to them for ages. It was only during the show watching my daughter sing along in JAPANESE that I realized that we used to watch their videos when she was a TODDLER, and now we're watching them live with her being a teenager.

The gals were great. Loved the choreography. And the band absolutely slaps. Ear crushing riffs, and their drummer is INSANE! Great show. Glad I get to see them again in a few weeks at Louder than Life.

And today I am hurting like crazy. Every muscle used for violent headbanging is screaming.

And I would change a single thing!

Louder Than Life 2026

Just bought my tickets. Friday looks like a crap day, I don't really know any of the lineup. But the rest of the weekend looks banging.

Hopefully the weather is better than the last time I went!
