Geez....seeing that I've never been "hammered"...I have always imagined or dreamt on how it would be. Sorry ....I can't share with you though....you need X-ray glasses to see the visions inside my head.

Marty Casey And Lovehammers Aug, 17, 2006 The Basement, Columbus, OH. My first show ever! This was so long ago, My reciew is so back in the achives it s lost, so here I will rewrite it. Now I was not even a Senior in High School, an wasnt near the writer I am today... and this is straight from my journal pages: The Basement was actually a very small place, a little atge, a floor, surrounded by railing. And a bar in the back. But we got a good standing area and watched 3 opening bands for close to 2.5 hours. The Firstman Family was great, Maxine bought their CD (I brought my freinds, Maxine and Lydia). But this hippie guitar player got a 4min solo, he was amazing! A huge face melter! The Ted Nugent of tomorrow they called him. Then the Lovehammers came out, they played for e good 2 hours. Well I want to let you know some of the songs thay sang: Wish you were here Gice it up Trees Lets get wasted Straight as an Arrow Clnic Casualty The Tunnel Hold on The Riddle Eyes Cant see Call of Distress Sleeper Ring of fire Ultrasound Rockin' in the Free world. They were pure energy, from the get go. Marty was doing the mad conductor, dancing around, singing with his arm around Dino, and that was the first song. He jumps down into the crowd, and was circeling around righ next to me. I grabbed his arm, just to make sure I wasnt dreaming! From then on i knew this was real and I was loving it. He would lean all the way out and reach for everyone, as we reached for him. Marty did pause at times to tell this big obnoxious women to 'shut up' she was yelling song titles at him, 'Im not a human jutebox' was Martys comment. Right before Clinic, Marty explaines 'People ask me if I wrote this song about Rockstar, well how can that be if I write it 2 yeasr earlier? Well i guess that means I can se the future!!' He later told us that he cannot see the future. This little girl was in the front row, and im telling you it was loud. She had her hands over her ears, and Marty stopped it all and asked her mom if she wanted to take her to the back so it wouldnt hurt her ears. We also learned that Dino had missed the tour bus earlier that day, and Shh....keep it down my moms upstairs, it is the Basement!! I loved it when Marty sang Wish you were here, I had my pink Floyd shirt on and Max and i sang along, but i sang allong with all the songs. Vocal and Guitar where great!! Marty did jump up once and almost hit his head on the ceiling. And he thinks he found the right city here in Columbus, Ohio. He would add in the song, 'For you' and point to random people!! I really surprised myself that night I felt free, and brave, and home. I sang as loud as i could, whether or not Marty gave us the mic. One of the best times of my life. Just the energy of the band, when they would lean out, grab someones hand, that all registers back to us. You just dont get that anymore. And it ended. But i was still yelling with both my hands in the air! ENCORE!! And they came back out and sang, Lets get Wasted and Straight as an arrow. When they where done for good, i yelled even louder, and tried to soak all of it in. Its a high. It was nothing like I have ever felt, I felt free. And just so much love and compassion for this band. So Max wanted to get her CD singned my Firstman Family. But then the Lovehammers came out and were gonna sign. Max went to the exit.. I was gonna follow, but I was thinking No, I dont want to leave. I went up and bought a shirt. Dino was first to sign, I told him that it was my first show.. and they where amazing! I was so nervous. He didnt say anything just smiled. Marty was next, He couldnt believe that this was my first show, and thanked me for the good words. Then I dont know what got into me but I reached for and got a big hug From Marty Casey... never though in a million years that would happen!! Then we had to say our goodbyes.. Bobby was next, he didnt say anything... but i didnt care, Billy was already ushering me over, and asking me about Pink Floyd. "You know who those guys are!!" he seemed sort of surprised. I explained how in love i am with Pink Floyd (and still am to this day). Billy was very cool, and very funny! As I walked out of their, I felt as if i was on a cloud, I still dont believe i saw them, And met the the Lovehammers! And I really discovered myslef. No one was telling me how to act the way i did. t just came natural to me, because i love this band. And I have an even bigger love for them because of their love for the fans. They love their fans to the end with the screaming contest which our side won, to get down in the crowd and rock out with us. And then to take the time to hang out and help us make memories. I will never forget that night. heh that was fun writing, very cool to relive....how far ive come since them...many many concerts and 9-10 Marty hugs later....still rockin!!

You know, I'm sorry I didn't let loose a lot earlier - I missed so many great shows that today I would go by myself to, or travel to. That show looks awesome.

I went to that one, was marvelous darlin', just marvelous. Of course, I was RIGHT there on Dino's side of the stage, and well....MAGIC...... that's the night that Marty gave me a BIG hug, and Dino smacked him upside the head "Dude, she's mine, the rest of the line is yours, leave this one alone".....Marty says "Is this right? Your Dino's girl?"...I said...."YEAH darlin', sorry to disappoint ya, but could ya move to the side here, I WANT A DINO HUG..".... ;D ;D ;D ;D
