'Cause it slipped my mind... I went to a concert this last weekend. It was... AWESOME!
It was a (mostly) metal show, so don't click any of the links if you don't like being screamed at.
The opening act was a band called
From Sword to Sunrise. I was all the way up at the front (woohoo!), so I didn't see when a mosh pit broke out behind me... and then someone got pushed out. By "pushed out" I mean they basically shoulder tackled my lower spine and sent me into the barricade. OUCH! I was with my amigo at the time and he went complete nuts**t when it happened. He just saw me disappear so he started knocking moshers on their asses. I guess I should expect no less from a metal show. LOL
The next band was
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. I can only describe their music as redneck metal. It is very Southern rock inspired. I had never heard their stuff before, but I really liked "Step Up" and especially "Memories of the Grove".
Next up was
Lacuna Coil. My girlfriend is slightly obsessed with them. Unfortunately, she had to work that night. She sent me with her camera and demanded I take at least 100 pics of Cristina Scabbia (the lead singer). Mission accomplished.
Then... (dun dun dun) the headliner, and my favorite band,
All That Remains. They played my 3 favorites basically in a row... "Become the Catalyst", "The Air That I Breathe", and "Tattered on My Sleeve". It was amazing. When they finished the set my friend caught an ATR pick, and I caught one of the drummer's sticks that he threw into the crowd. It is my preciousssssss.
I love the ghosting effect in that pic.
I got beat up, bruised, covered in sweat, lost my voice and my hearing for a while... totally worth it.
So that was LAST weekend. This weekend is going to be a scare fest. I'm going to see
Paranormal Activity tonight with my girlfriend, and then we're going to Thrillvania (see video below) Saturday night. WOOHOO!
