Pops Hugs Hot Chicks AKA Pops Goes Walkabout
When "Pops" (Wes Nessman) gets bored at a concert, what does he do? One thing that I have noticed over the years, is that Pops tends to disappear from time to time at concerts. This is not surprising because Pops can't sit still, even in a car! No one knows where he goes, or what he is doing while he is missing. All that we have known is that he ALWAYS comes back grinning from ear to ear. Photos following the jump.
Black Stone Cherry Storms Back Into Lubbock (Videos)
Wednesday night's Black Stone Cherry Show at Jake's Backroom (5-30-12) was red hot. It reached 102 degrees outside, but the band and fans seemed unaware. Everyone seemed to be on a common frequency feeding off of each other. With the bands strong southern influence they had this Texas crowd screaming and dancing nonstop from beginning to end.
A partial play list included: "In My Blood", "Rain Wizard", "Like I Roll" (their latest single), "White Trash Millionaire", "Blame It On The Boom Boom" and covers like "Rocky Mountain Way", "Sweet Home Alabama" and Folsom Prison Blues.
I have photos of the show, but these videos tell a better story. (Videos Following The Jump)

X-Fest 9 (Part 2) - Halestorm Meet-N-Greet (4-21-12). We had a great time hanging out with Halestorm... Even if Chief Parrot did keep an eye on us all night! Photos after the jump.
X-Fest 9 (Part 1) Stained – Godsmack Meet-N-Greet (4-21-12) (Photos)
The afternoon came early for those that attended the birthday bash the night before. While we waited on our first meet-n-greet of the day, we noticed how clean and empty the amphitheater was. It would have been impossible to know that there had been a major concert there just hours before if we had not been at it, and if the Birthday Bash was any indication, X-Fest 9 was going to cap off one of the greatest rock and roll weekends that Lubbock has seen in a long time.

KFMX 31st Birthday Bash (Part 6) Chevelle & Korn (4-20-12) (Photos/Video)
This closes out the birthday bash photographs. Even though there are few photos, you do get the first of many videos. The night ended much too late, and 1:00 pm meet-n-greets at Ralph's Records, started another 12 hour rockin' roller coaster ride. Photos and video follow the jump.

After a long absence, Lacuna Coil returns to Lubbock.
KFMX 31st Birthday Bash (Part 4) Korn Meet-N-Greet 4-20-12 (Photos)
The Korn meet-n-greet also had an exciting surprise. Fieldy's son was with him and he traveled down the line with his dad signing his first autographs. Wes claims credit for this, but all I know is I have a first autograph of an up and coming Rock Star

KFMX 31st Birthday Bash (Part 3) Cavo and New Medicine (Photos)
This was the first time I had seen Cavo and New Medicine, and I can't wait to see them again. Unfortunately, due to meet-n-greets, I was unable to hang around long enough to get many photographs, but don't worry... next time.

While waiting for Chevelle, our first meet-n-greet of the day, our FMX winners were surprised with a visit by Halestorm. They were in town a day early for Saturday's show with Stained and Godsmack and decided to come join the party in the FMX VOODOO Lounge! You never know who might show up in the voodoo lounge.

KFMX 31st Birthday Bash (Part 1) Preshow & Dead Sarah (Photos) 4-20-12
The KFMX crew and the Go Rock Show Road Crew arrived early to get things ready for a great weekend of Rock and Roll. As we looked out on the empty amphetheatre there was no way that we could imagine what it would look like in just a few hours, when it would come alive and overflow with rockers. The first band up on the main stage was Dead Sarah, and by time they started, they had a much larger audience than most opening bands at the amphetheatre. Much more to come. PHOTOS follow the jump.
