Yeah, the covering guitarist was good but he wasn't Adam. The back and forth Howard and Adam do make the show so much better, though they did fucking rock the shit out of the place without him. He is Legend went last so we just left after KSE finished
Still pissed they didn't play My Last Serenade though. Howard did the fine women and ugly guys bit that he always does before it but they played My Curse instead
Speaking of Dimebag, Zakk Wyld did like a half hour tribute to him. They brought out a huge banner of him playing and even put up a cardboard cutout of him playing his guitar while Zakk did In This River with a horribly out of tune keyboard. His reaction to the keyboard was great though. He brought their head tech out to fix it and he's like "fuck this man, I'm gonna tell some fucking jokes" then he went and pointed to somebody in the crowd and goes "hey you, slash, know any good fucking jokes? come up here and tell one" then like 15 seconRAB later he says "FUCK THIS" and throws the mic on the ground and breaks it
Eventually the head tech gets the keyboard into decent shape and Zakk goes "alright, let me see if I can get an A minor going" then starts playing and says "not exactly A minor, but close enough. we'll make it fucking work, we're black label, join me in this one, my atlanta family"
