Can't see a thread for this, so apologies mods if there is one - please merge if so...

Went to see Fozzy in Glasgow last night. Incredible performance but LOOOOUUUD. Ears still ringing 12 hours later. For those who don't know frontman is Chris Jericho the wrestler - somewhat incongruous seeing Y2J running around the stage screaming into the microphone. Amazing energy and a wall of sound. Marvellous performance.

The support bands were great too - Scarlet Rebels are from Wales, and did a kind of Super Furry Animals meets Manic Street Preachers set. Escape the Fate are an American band who were trying very hard to be The Ramones meets Mötley Crüe with a twist of Iggy Pop and the Stooges thrown in, to the point where they were almost a parody of a heavy rock group. Was checking the drum kit in case it said Spinal Tap.

The venue was perfect for this kind of music - SWG3 in Glasgow. All standing, mosh pit at the front, drink flowing freely. Great night.

Saw them live in a tiny bar about 16/17 years ago.

Absolutely awesome live show.

And yeah, very odd to see Chris Jericho close up after a childhood of watching him wrestling.

Haven't seen them live, but I'm a fan of late 90s wrestling and rock music, so Fozzy are my cup of tea.

Chris Jericho has written a series of autobiographies which are a good read, however being a touring wrestling AND touring musician sounds like bloody hard work!
