Thanks and Whoa, that’s insane! Imagine casually jamming with someone who’d later end up drumming for The Offspring, what a story! 🔥He’s seriously such a badass on the drums. Thanks for sharing that, love hearing cool connections like this! 🤘🏼

That dinner looked so good. Reminded me how important it is to eat clean, healthy meals at home more often. Was waiting for some broccoli on the side too 😂
@MeleaJade5 күн бұрын
For sure, home-cooked meals just hit different! I always feel way more satisfied after a proper meal like this. When I eat something unhealthy, I somehow end up eating twice as much and still feeling hungry not long after. It’s so easy to fall into that trap when you don’t plan ahead! Oh, and the funniest part? I actually had cauliflower in the fridge… completely forgot about it. So much for balance but at least there was a plan. 😂

Thank you for this! You nailed it, The offspring was my go to when I started out skateboarding back in 1997. They just amped me on another level to push and perform. This show was the biggest on my bucket list for sure!!
@MeleaJade5 күн бұрын
That’s so awesome! The Offspring’s music just has that raw energy that hypes you up no matter what. I honestly never thought they’d come to SA, especially since the last time they were here was 20 years ago but they did, and we were so here for it! Such an unreal experience!

One of the best shows I have ever been too. I felt the sound got better and better as the night went on. Felt the mic was set to low for The offspring and especially Polisiekar. They fixed it for Green day at least. We sat in block 215 red section b stand. Amazing energy and well run event. R60 a pop for a beer nearly gave me a heart attack haha

@@danieljoubert7937 lol yeah everything was more expensive it’s insane but we still buy for convenience sake which encourages them to continue charging so much which sucks we can’t win lol Oh and I totally agree with you we noticed that the sound of the mics were a-bit weird at times but I’m sure where you were you could hear it more clearly, at one point in Green days performance his mic went off for a bit. Technicalities. However it was a great show and this doesn’t happen very often! Amazing to hear how so many people felt the same way we did!

Wow, that’s so exciting! You’re going to have such an amazing time. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any merch because the lines were really long, so I’d recommend getting there early. From what I saw, though, the merch looked pretty decent, and I felt the pricing wasn’t too bad either. They had a flyer up with the merch and prices, but I’m not sure how much it’ll differ in Dubai. Everyone who got merch wore it proudly, so it’s definitely worth checking out!
