Swinny who passed away this March due to brain hemorrhage while touring, he was 59 at the time of his passing and his presence at this show was noticed and sorely missed! Bobby said early in the set, pointing to the kick drum, how much the band and the fans missed him. Saliva hit the stage next, with the front of the kick drum had an image of Swinny, and a couple of times during the set Bobby Amaru made sure to pay homage to Wayne Swinny. Check out Andrew Images from the night by pushing the play button on the right I have to say that while these guys have been around since 2006, the new music that they have released has evolved with the years, while staying true to their earliest of days. The rest of their set was a mix of the old and the new.

They had a look that was like nu-metal mixed with some mid 70’s Rockers!Īdelita’s Way came out and while Any Given Sin had the crowd already stirring, Adelita’s way really seemed to tap into the pulse of the crowd! Adelita’s Way opened up with “What it Takes” which was one of their newer songs, and then “Still Hungry”. The opener for the show was Any Given Sin, and while I admit, I had never seen these guys before. As I sit here, preparing to write a review of the Drowning Pool show at the Cleveland House of Blues, I must preface this review with a simple thought… I could not be happier to see these bands from my youth hitting the road and playing the music that was the anthems for my friends and I when we were kids!
