The video title pretty much sums it up.. “Jake Cinninger goin nuts on Pay The Snucka” Face melting, jaw dropping, mind blowing solo illustrates the tip to the iceberg of jake’s skills.

The jams are face-melting, the lights are retina-shattering, and you can just feel the vibe oozing off the stage, into the crowd, through your screen, and right into your brain! Long live UMPH!

Wizard Burial Ground with horns?! New Years is always insane when the horns come out, but this was balls to wall rock! ‘Mad Dog’s Filthy Little Secret’ was on fire all night long. If you don’t dig wizard, you don’t dig gettin down and dirty.

@Matt: Not exactly sure that’s “heavy metal,” but it’s certainly entertaining.Either way, thanks for entering and good luck!

This show was a top 5 for me. Boys were on fire! Crowd was so high energy. If you ever wondered where the roof went at Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale, UM blew it off on 3.11.06.
