I was at the BS2000 show at the Metro in Chicago on April 5, and I must say, it was one of the most entertaining, energetic, and all in all enjoyable concerts I have ever been to. Musically, the boys did an excellent job of recreating the sounds on "Simply Mortified" in front of a live audience. I think that a band/musical artist's true talent is proven in their ability to sound as good live as they do in the studio, and BS2000 proved that to be true of themselves 100%. What made the show even more entertaining was that I could totally tell that Adam and Amery enjoyed every minute of it. They were definitely having fun up there, and they expressed their appreciation for the crowds attendance multiple times.
The only thing about the concert that I didn't like was the crowd -- what a bunch of assholes. It was painfully obvious that most of those idiots only showed up because they could get a glimpse of Adrock. I wouldn't have had a problem with that, but no one was dancing, no one was cheering, and no one really seemed to get too into it. I mean, if you're going to go to a concert to see someone you think is hot, at least PRETEND that you're into the music he's playing. People were yelling obnoxious things at Adam the whole time, and overall, the crowd was just a big pain in the ass. If I were Adam and Amery, I would personally rather have had a small crowd of true BS2000 fans who really appreciated the music as opposed to a bunch of assholes/enfatuated young girls who turned out merely because of my affiliation with the Beastie Boys. But, it's good exposure for them, so whatever.
Speaking of enfatuation, I was one of the first 10 people in line to get into the Metro, and I was lucky enough to be in the front row. I brought a present for Adam (a stuffed animal -- a monkey -- wearing a t-shirt that said "I Love Adam"), and he took it RIGHT FROM MY HANDS!!!!! It was beautiful. He looked me right in the eye and said "Ooooh. Thank you so much." It was great. I really wanted to stay after and try to meet him, but security kicked everyone out right when the show ended. Oh well, at least he got my gift, right? You might think that I made myself into a hypocrite by saying that the enfatuated young girls in the audience were a pain in the ass, and here I am telling a story about bringing Adam a cheesy little present -- but you know what? I love BS2000. At least I can say that I'm honestly a fan.
So, all in all, the show was great! If you ever have a chance to see BS2000 in concert, GO!!!!! Believe me, you won't regret it.On a scale of 1-5 stars, the show gets a 10 from me
