Music

the ringing in my ears from last night's loud music

It was brilliant!
Lost Alone, the first band on the second stage was quite good.
But Cry for Silence was horrendous! They were awful! I did not like them at all.

But it got better
Pink spiders and Ignite were alright

Kill Hannah was awesome!

Mindless self indulgence was crap really(hee hee, i made a concert joke), They set of a lot of moshing and i was slightly frightened by that, considering it was right next to me and people were ramming in to me and stuff.

So after they finished we went off to find the loos and get food, I Spoke to these 4 nice girls from Scotland and another girl from Scotland a bit later on and me n my dad sat against the wall, waiting for Fight star to get the hell off the stage.

I missed Some other bands though, but that was ok. Hadn't heard of them before apart from Juliette and the Licks, but i don't know if they actually came on stage...

We Headed over to the Merch stand where i got myself a new HIM top and a Give it a name Top, then went back into the arena, where Alexisonfire were just finishing, we watched them set up the stage for the Used, Who seem to have added an Extra word to their name, they started and ended their performance with "We are the Fucking Used!" so they are now the "F.Used" but i got bored of them pretty fast, so we went and sat at the bar

towards the end of their performance, someone puked up on stage and they got everyone to part down the center of the arena, (we were watching from the Bar) and he said "When this song starts, i want you to ram each other like FUCKING BULLS!" so the song started and they all ran at each other.
Then they stopped...... thank god

everyone walked away from the stage 'cos it took like 15 mins to change the staging for HIM. so We took this opportunity to get closer to the front, so we both got as close as we could. and waited .
I got so exited! I watched them put the Large wooden/metal HIM lettering up, and then music starts and the lights go down and HIM walk out!
I went Mad

Ville was slightly Drunk, so he forgot some of the words to the songs, but i've heard he usually does that. AND! he was wearing the same jacket as me! It was great! I almost Died!

They played really cool songs too!
They played 1 or 2 new ones(I know they played at least one, "Dead Lover's Lane"), and the rest were old(er) ones, I loved it!
THEY PLAYED WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY! Yay! I wanted to hear that one!

Ville was really good with the Audience, When he forgot the words, he got us to sing it instead! And sometimes he got just the drum beat and a quiet guitar playing and just got us to clap and sign over and over again!
He went of on a little ramble about how he wrote, I think it was the sacrament, when his Girlfriend at the time was Going through really bad anorexia, then he kinda realised he had kinda promoted anorexia so he turns round and says "Anorexia Is not cool, don't do it"
And these Girls at the front yelled "I love you" to him and he just crouched down at the edge of the stage with the mike and talked to them, he said "I love you too, All of you but there's not enough room back in my hotel room" and he mentioned which hotel he was staying at but I can't remember it.
I took over 90 pictures of them!
Most of them were blurry though but i have some good ones.
At the end We got the Drum sticks thrown at us ^^ unfortunately, not in my direction.
once we started to leave, I got some FFAF badges cos they were being given out free, so yay.
We still have out tickets, so yay!
But I didn't see Ville or anyone else outside the venue, so Blargh.

But other than that!
It was the best First concert i could have asked for!

(By the way, i'm dead, 'cos i'm tired and i have ringing in my ears)
