Since all you guys are the crazy fan in the front row having cerebral hemorrhages, I'm sure you'll appreciate the following from The Tartan Online:
Tech gets invaded
MTV's Campus Invasion Tour hits Blacksburg
By Bryan Schools
April 06, 2004
Each year, MTV does something involving (gasp) music. It sends a tour out, hitting college campuses with a few groundbreaking rock bands. The tour has
brought bands like Lit, Garbage and Sum 41 to universities across the nation. This year's stop brought IMA Robot, lostprophets, and H****stank to
a little college in Blacksburg called Virginia Tech.
The concert, which was held on March 31 in Squires Center's Commonwealth Room, was a huge success. Fans lined up as early as 5:30 p.m. to see
this year's showcase of the latest talent in rock.
IMA Robot were the first to take the stage for the packed room in Squires Center. While the band was energetic, the crowd just wasn't into the
band's severely warped twist on rock. No one knew who they were except for one crazy fan in the front, who looked like he was having a cerebral
hemorrhage.
The highlight of the evening came next as recent mainstream breakthrough band lostprophets stormed the stage. The band ripped through songs off their
latest record, "Start Something," and got all in attendance to move. "Last Train Home" was the high point of the band's set
as the entire crowd jumped in unison and sang the song back to the prophets.
Invasion headliners H****stank were left to get whatever energy was left in the crowd after lostprophets. lostprophets were a tough act to follow, but
H****stank, being the tested road dogs they are, served the challenge well.
The band rocked the crowd with songs off of their two hit records "H****stank" and "The Reason." The crowd went into a frenzy as
they ripped into hits like "The Reason" and closed their set with their first hit single, "Crawling In The Dark."
MTV does its fair share to keep its viewers from believing the station has anything to do with music. The Campus Invasion Tour, however, reaffirms the
notion that somewhere underneath "The Real World," "Road Rules," "Newly Weds," and the "Real World/Road Rules
Challenge," there is a company intent on bringing us the latest in groundbreaking music. And while this notion gets buried a lot, seeing a tour
like this can make even the harshest critics forgive MTV.

I kind of like being the only person at school who's heard of Ima Robot. (probably)
as for the hemmorrhages, i need to get one live during a concert...yet to happen
happysmilely - 4-14-2004 at 07:19 AM
yeah,
I have yet to find a person (unless at an Ima concert)
that knows who Ima Robot is
(that is before I get to them)
funny how the younger crouds have to be told the band is cool to like them. So if you show them some new music they get all uncomfy and don't
know how to react.
they wait tell one of the friends decide what to do about it and then they follow.

was going fucking crazy outta their minds for em. I love that!
