we're off to never-never land

[jessipsaloquitur]

Seriously, whenever I start to think that Adam and company can't possibly blow my mind any more than they already have, they go and prove me wrong. So, last night (this morning? I don't know -- the time zone thing fucks with my head) they played a show in New Zealand. And as an early birthday present for his bassist, Tommy Joe, Adam covered one of Tommy's favorite songs for his encore, Metallica's "Enter Sandman." It was apparently a complete surprise to Tommy, who didn't know it was going to happen until they started playing it and the rest of the band had only practiced it once. Adam even had to tape the lyrics to the front of the stage. *laughs*

But OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Adam covering Metallica has made my LIFE!!!! *flails wildly*

ETA: This one has better sound:

ETA the 2d: A closer vid:

And some particularly gif-able moments from that performance:


Jfc, Adam. You really should warn a girl when you're about to short circuit her brain like that.

Birthday kiss!


And a great picture of the Birthday Boy!




Apparently they were sound-checking "Closer" yesterday too. If they ever did both NIN and Metallica I may just die of the sheer awesomeness!

So, yeah, I think I'll be spending the rest of my Sunday re-watching that vid. Glam Metal FTMFW!!!!! \m/
