and i saw everlast do a free show in ATL and to this day have never had a band impress me that much on stage. they had a blues jam mixed with the acoustic white boy hip hop shit he does for an entire set, played his hit, and left. normally i hate that shit but that shit was heavy. the most interesting music ive ever fucking heard. the sickest i have ever heard someone play a stand up bass, electric guitar, everlast doing slide most of the set a guy with a keyboard rig of 70s analogs, badass jazz drummer...

That one was at a top 40 club I was spinning at. To the plus side I got to sport my "Pimp Daddy" outfit on-stage while ice was playing. His DJ was worth putting up with "Ice" for though. Dude had serious mad DJ skills.
