Ahhh memories memories…. I had just turned 14, It was the ABJ tour in NYC, was right after woodstock, it was ICP twiztid and mindless self indulgence and biohazard. Twiztid wasnt rocking the white yet only the OG milenko blackout eyes with the white contacts. 

First mindless came on and they fucking sucked major cock. Dude was wearing an all red jumpsuit red hair and had a sign on his back that said red is for fags. he got pelted with so many things, shoes lighters you name it he got hit with it.

Biohazard was next and they werent all that bad, At the time my favorite bands consisted of korn, limp bizkit, NIN, ICP, twiztid obv. you know, shit like that. So anyway I enjoyed that set.

Next twiztid came out, I had already scooped mostastless which I found to be my to this day favorite album of all time. ( i include both OG and island versions as one album) The hair up in braids, jamie all fat as fuck still, and the best part of it all, no baricades. the first 5 or 6 shows I went to had no baricades and stage diving was not only an option, but to a 14 year old going to his first concert by himself, necessary. I must have got up there 5 times during this set, it was one of the best times of my life.

Next came the clowns, they did mostly tracks from milenko and jeckel but they did the obvious ones that they still do damn near every show to this day. I managed to get myself right up to the stage and stayed there for the first half of the show, and the second half of the show I must have gotten on stage 15 times, I grabbed full bottles of faygo and sprayed the crowd, and this was before faygo armagedden, this was before faygo breaks were as big as they are now, like 1/100th of what they do now, Shaggy threw me into the crowd once after handing me a faygo bottle it was total chaos. They ended the show with nothings left and it was just an earie feeling almost bone chilling, or maybe that was due to all the faygo that covered me head to toe for the past hour and a half. 

I made the rookie mistake of buying my merch before the show and destroyed a poster, did not put my stuff in a ziplock bag which i have figgured out is the only way to keep anything of value safe at a show the next morning, but that, followed by the next show, the wicked clowns from outer space tour to this day have been my favorite shows.

I first got a carnival of carnage tape from hot hits which is near by.. then they got way better  ..then mdp sucked
