Powerman 5000, Static-X, and Dope at the Diamond Ballroom.

1,210 people. March 18, 2000.

That was a hot bill for that moment. Powerman 5000 was moving. Static-X was on fire. Dope fit right in with that whole industrial, nu-metal, heavy radio wave that was taking over in 2000.

At that point, 1,210 at the Diamond was probably a sellout or close to it.

And then you fast forward 23 years.

Powerman 5000 comes back to the same room in 2023.

Same Diamond Ballroom.

Different decade.

Same kind of crowd memory.

Then April 23rd at The Myriad:

Slipknot.
Mudvayne.
Ultraspank.

953 people.

That number sounds low now, especially when the memory feels closer to 2,500. But that’s what happens when a room is full of chaos. Sometimes 953 angry people can feel like 3,000.

And that’s where the joke comes in.

“They were all mad at Max.”

Mad at Max.

Madd Maxx.

The name had already been around, but that night sure made it fit.

Some shows are remembered by ticket counts.

Some are remembered by the noise, the crowd, and the stories that never leave.

This one had all of it.
