3 - August Christopher
If you haven't seen AC live, it's an experience, including
FREESTYLING, IMPROVISATION, CROWD PARTICIPATION, INSTRUMENT SWAPPING,
even DRUM DIVING. There's nothing Criss won't climb and jump off
of and there's never a member of the crowd not subject to end
up on stage at any time!
The songs range from complex to simple yet always maintain a pop,
radio friendly edge - easy to sing along to yet hard to play;
and the show is as high-energy as the young, heavy bands can get
(except AC isn't HEAVY, AC is...well...you decide).
