Apparently, I saw COC before Pepper was in the band. I don’t really remember it, but I sent my cousin the link to this because he loves them.

Well, I used to spend part of my summers with him, over near Charlotte. We did see a bunch of shows because one of his cousins on the side I wasn’t related to worked for some promoter.

Anyway, I do remember seeing a show with him at this sketchy little venue there, and him just going batshit for the band, and I remember liking them, just not as much as him. But I’m damned if I can recall much else. Like, I kinda remember the parking lot, and a group of hot girls that were smoking outside, and the crowd being super high energy, but not really any specific songs or much more than the general vibe of the music.

He swears that was CoC, but he can’t remember which venue it was, or exactly what year, just that it was before Pepper because he was conflicted when he joined.

I’m thinking it had to be around 87, because we were pretty damn young, and I recall listening to Master of Puppets on the way there, talking about wanting to see Metallica play Orion live.

Which has almost nothing to do with this song, but it kinda bugs me that I don’t remember the show itself really.
