http://linkinpark.com/pro.../member/projektrevolutionI went to the Projekt Revolution show in Detroit yesterday. The show started at noon but I didn't get there till after 2:00. The only second stage act I saw was Saosin. I'd never heard them before... not bad. I did see all the main stage acts. Julien K was allright, reminded me of a cross between Ministry and Depeche Mode. I thought Placebo and Him were rather dull. The singer of him seemed to think he was gods gift. Definately a pompous chap.
Talking Back Sunday was good. I'd heard several of thier songs before. My Chemical Romance played a rather spirited if somewhat sloppy set. Gerard Way was really raspy starting out but gained his voice by about the 3rd number. They closed with "Cancer" which was a rather downer song to finish with. I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise, Gerard seems a moody cat.
Linkin Park was outstanding. They played a very tight set. The music and vocals were all very clean. I'd read that they'd been getting upstaged by MCR but not last night.
The crowd was real tame. A lot of teenagers of course... but MANY with parents in tow. There were a few small mosh pits but as the show ended all the moshers shook hands and went their separate ways. I'd not seen that before.
