Mushroomhead

This was my second time to shoot Mushroomhead and the first that they were "headlining". Honestly though the first time they effectively headlined, since I can't even remember the band that went on after they played; they stole that show. This time was no different for me except that I got to listen to the music more and decide if I liked them or just shooting them. I'd have to say I really enjoyed the entirety of the show, the stage show the music, the whole bit. I've come a long way from going "who are they?" and receiving an answer akin to "They are like Slipknot" to now where I Know who Mushroomhead is and I disagree they are like Slipknot. I actually like Mushroomhead and I've never been impressed by Slipknot. Personal choice I know but it's my page so I'll say it.

I'm not sure I got as good of shots this time as I did last time, for whatever reason. Last time I got some stuff that I actually liked enough to print out and have the band sign for me. Something I never ask bands to do. But in this case I made an exception and got them to sign some stuff. Mushroomhead is right up there on level with Gwar for me to shoot. I simply live for it. Really this is why I got into concert photography to begin with.

So my advice to you is check this band out if they tour near you. Nice guys, great show and some good music.
