NeonAngel · May 20th, 2009, 01:42 PM

So, who all is going?

A7 · May 20th, 2009, 07:08 PM

I wish I could go, but I'm stuck here in Manila for a little while.

Danny rctv · May 20th, 2009, 09:57 PM

Looks like a possibility now for me!

A7 · May 22nd, 2009, 01:03 PM

In memory of Michelle, I made this little video slideshow. It's not much, but I hope you'll all enjoy it.

Phantom Blue - "You're Free" (Michelle Meldrum...

NeonAngel · May 23rd, 2009, 01:49 AM

That was beautiful, Jeremy! I'd almost forgotten how powerful Gigi's voice was, like Janis Joplin turned up to 11!

Doodoobubbachuck · May 23rd, 2009, 02:48 AM

Wow, we just had our first instrumental rehearsal tonight. So strange playing those songs again, I must say!

but fun!

We are all really looking forward to this event. Tomorrow will be the first full band rehearsal so that should really be wild.

That was very thoughtful of you Jeremy.

It's the least I could do for you all. Great to hear that rehearsals have been doing well. It's too bad the Whisky won't allow cameras so most of us won't be able to see you all on stage.

Best of luck to you and Gigi on the KNAC interview, Linda.

Danny rctv · May 25th, 2009, 11:52 PM

AAAAAHHHHH...... Here's the latest with me. My boy Huge as you recall had some reservations after his car broke down Friday night and cost him a $225 tow! he does have a back up vehicle but it's a gas guzzler! Now his son came down with a 104 degree fever,The Mom's working tomorrow so unless something drastic changes it looks like we'll have to sit this one out

Hope Huge's Kid gets better and I'll see you ladies in August !

A7 · May 26th, 2009, 07:05 PM

Tonight's the big night. Best of luck to Linda, the Maidens, Phantom Blue and everyone performing tonight.

Metallicat180 · May 27th, 2009, 03:25 AM

Show was absolutely amazing!!!!! Gigi looked like she was having so much fun being onstage with the girls again.

Setlist was...

Nothing Good
Loved Ya To Pieces
Time To Run (all with Sara)

Bad Reputation
Lied To Me (my favourite! Yay!

)
A Little Evil
Going Mad (all with Courtney)

A7 · May 27th, 2009, 04:00 AM

Absolutely awesome, Jenna. Glad they performed seven of my favorites.

BTW, how did the Maidens do? I was also told that Linda and Kim performed with some of the other guest artists as well.

They all sounded killer - a great job done by all!!

The Maidens were great!!!! Was front row and centre naturally. Sara kept making faces at me and at one point Wanda had her foot on the monitor and was playing a really tricky bit in Genghis Khan right in front of my face and Paul goes to me "Look, Wanda's showing off for you!" cos she was grinning right down at me.

It was great to finally meet the rest of the girls. I think Linda was more excited to meet me than I was to meet her!!! Hahaha!!

metalhead_85 · May 27th, 2009, 11:53 AM

fuckin A amazing show!!

I headbanged like crazy for the whole time specially Iron Maidens and Phantom Blue. I loved the Maidens setlist with all those instrumental gems

Also enjoyed the PB setlist A LOT specially Going Mad!!

Lizzy Borden and Meldrum were amazing too, and it was a treat to watch Gene Hoglan and Michelle Madden \m/

After PB's set John Kevill of Warbringer tapped me on the shoulder and said 'dude u are like the most awesome headbanger I've ever seen!' And I was like 'aren't you the singer from Warbringer??' Then he introduced me to Courtney as well and I got this picture

I didn't stay after Meldrum's set got over because my friend had parked his car in the venue parking for some reason and it was supposed to close at midnight. So I left at 11.45 or so. Metallicat, what happened after that? I think I saw you there. Weren't you in the front row towards the left? I wanted to say hi but didn't get a chance.

Metallicat180 · May 27th, 2009, 01:31 PM

I was hovering around the front and centre for the whole night. I was planning on coming over to say hi but when I got the chance, you'd gone.

Oh well, glad you had a great time! I saw you get excited when they started playing My Apocalypse!

Oh bummer!

And yeah loved My Apocalypse. That was the only dose of Metallica in that whole show so yeah I went mad

And I saw you winning some raffle prizes. Congrats! I didn't win anything, although I'm usually lucky at these things.

Really Really looking forward to the Iron Maidens show on July 12th where they'll be playing for 3 hours!!

A7 · May 27th, 2009, 07:10 PM

Awesome picture, metalhead_85. Glad you had a blast at the show.

EternalNightmare · May 27th, 2009, 11:35 PM

What a great show last night! I wasn't sure I'd be able to go to this show because I already planned on seeing Morbid Angel at the Key Club the same night. But I figured I'd stop by real quick and catch the Maidens & Phantom Blue before heading to Morbid Angel, since the last time I saw the Maidens was in northern cali last year. And boy am I glad I did, you girls were awesome! Looking forward to seeing you in the bay area in august, and thanks Sara for the picks!

NeonAngel · May 28th, 2009, 01:21 PM

I'm still reeling from all that metal! I loved hearing the Phantom Blue songs live again. They certainly didn't show any "ring rust".

Jason McMasters with the Maidens? Awesome! And a true texas gentleman, too! I introduced him to 2 friends of mine, Kristi and Alex,who were driving back to Texas the next day. This was Alex's first time on the Sunset Strip. He was totally stoked.

Meldrum Version 1 & Version 2? OMG! Lea from KNAC.com called 'em "Crazy F'n Bitches!" Yeah, Moa Holmsten AND Michele Madden sang their hearts out. They all tore up that stage.

All in all. a great night!

Michelle Meldrum, Rest In Peace. Your friends and family down here love you.

They only play one Metallica song then turn it down almost immediately to continue the raffle!!!

Thank you! I never win anything so that was a nice surprise!

Three cds, a Meldrum sticker and some picks and a Motorhead pick too.

Here are a few pics I took from the show. Gigi owned that stage, she was a joy to watch!

A7 · May 29th, 2009, 03:11 AM

Awesome pics, Jenna. Gigi and Kim, as well as the rest of the band, look stunning!

Hello & for the record...

"Motorbreath" was mixed early on in the night and on the turning down part the sound guys were given instructions during announcements to lower volume.....Raffle was part of the function...Apocalypse just happened to come up at that time.

Got to be heard to give out the prizes.

Thank you for coming down.

Did anyone happen to get any video or audio of that? I'd LOVE to hear/see that... wish I could have gone that night...
