I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about music, and yet somehow, I was not at all familiar with Living Things before they opened for Eagles of Death Metal in Pittsburgh. I don't always arrive in time for the opening band, but for some reason, I felt like I wanted to check out Living Things, even though I knew nothing about them beforehand. Approximately four drum beats into the first song, I was blown away. I don't recall ever enjoying an opening band so much. After their set, I no longer really cared whether EODM was coming on or not. I just wanted more Living Things. I was standing right by the merch table, and I got to meet Cory. My opinion of the band only improved during our conversation; he was really gracious. The night was a happy accident, and I will never forget it. P.S. - Cory, sorry I didn't get to say bye! But my mom said you sent your regards.
