Hey everyone!, Remember me LPE?
How's everyone been the last few months I haven't been here?
Well heaps has happened to me in the last couple of months and the 1 major thing that happened to me was getting to see Linkin Park both nights in the front mosh when they were here in Melbourne, Australia.
Anyway I thought I would come back and post my story considering not many on this forum are from Melbourne.
(14/10/07) DAY 1:
I get up at 3.30am and blast my stereo surround sound system up with Linkin Park while taking a shower and getting ready to catch the train at 5.20am... At this point I was jumping around singing to all the songs and just freaking out saying "OMG, OMG, OMG I'm finally getting to see my favorite band live in concert."
5am: I ring a taxi and wait 5minutes for it to get here then of to the train station I went still singing all the lyrics to all the songs.
5.25am: Still waiting for the train and oh.. wait.. Is that the train finally coming? And it was!!! finally I said after waiting an extra 5minutes... Lucky it wasn't that late.
5.30am: I get my tickets and then I went to sit down on the seat still tired but still to excited to get some extra sleep so I stayed awake for the whole 2 hours it took to get down to Melbourne.
7.30am (aprox) I get into Southern Cross Station... I got off the train and then walked out of the main station area and took a tram straight to Rod Laver Arena... (Yes I'm being seriours.. I was so excited... that I wanted to wait there ALL DAY just to see my favorite band)
7.45am: I get to Rod Laver Arena and I went and I saw the big trucks parked outside the loading area and the Linkin Park tour group and the Australian tour group were unloading the trucks with Linkin Parks equipment and I was like amazed how many speakers and everything that was getting unloaded so I watched them do that until they finished.
It would of been about 8.30am: And I walked back around to the 'Secret Door' to sit down and wait all day (There Is this door that usually isn't used for concerts because it's an unfair advantage to get wristbands for the mosh-pit but lucky for me it was used for the first night).
At about 10am this girl comes and looks around the arena wondering why theres hardly anyone around and I go up to her say you here for LP? And she said sure am! So we waited and talked and all that until a few others came and started waiting at the secret door.
4pm: I go look around the front main area where people are meant to wait and there was a bunch of people waiting out there and I was laughing my head off because I was closer to the wristband areas with only another 10 people hahaha.
5 - 5.30pm: The doors finally open and we are let in... So I run like mad to get my wristband and I got it then ran straight past the security guards who were trying to stop me and I just forced right through them with another 200 people to get to my waiting door (5).
Anyway I'm just there talking to other Linkin Park fans and just meeting some great new people and all and just having the time of my life and then it finally reaches the time for us to rush to the stage.
6.45pm: Doors open.. I run like MAD! straight to the front right area of the stage (Where phoenix was playing most of the time, And also the same area Chester fell and broke his wrist (more on that later)... Anyway we all get told to sit down so we all sit down and I get someone to save my spot so I can go to the toilet. Anyway I come back and then wait another 10minutes and then some group of friends on the floor get up really quickly that courses everyone to panic and get up flying fast and run forward to the stage. I gave my front spot up to this guy so i wouldn't get bruised by the bar holding the crowed and I was just behind him (So second line from the front line) which may I just add... It's a lot more fun to be just behind the front people because they are like your protection LOL... And you can jump around like mad behind the front line.
Anyway... 5minutes and then the lights go OUT! I'm like, and the crowed is like OMG!, OMG!, OMG!!!
The NMS intro starting with the curtain up and I was just still so amazed that I was right up the front right near the stage... Anyway Brad starts with his guitar and Rob starts with the powerful drum beat and me and my friends start clapping and the crowed joins in with our clapping! (So we are the ones who started the clapping) And then 1minute and 42secs (Of Youtube mobile video lol) into the intro Brad starts the NMS guitar bit and I was like.. here we go... This is it... IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!
Then... There is silence! And the curtain drops and the lights come up... And there they are!!! CHESTER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!! I WAS BLINKING THINKING IT WAS A DREAM! lol... I was so happy that this was it... And I was singing all the lyrics at the top of my voice so loud that some girl had to exit the pit because I was so loud LOL, and So loud that even the people on the lower seating could hear me!!! both sides of the arena! (I know this information because over 20 people came up to me after the concert commenting how loud I was and commenting how they cracked up laughing at some of the random **** I yelled out onto the stage for Mike and Chester and the rest of LP to hear LOL.
Anyway... After Mike said he would like to play some more music for us, I yelled out "You guys can do that any ******* TIME you want!" and the crowed starts laughing with me while I watch Mike try not to crack up laughing.
Anyway... just after Linkin Park went of stage I started yelling out "1 more SONG!, 1 more SONG!"
And the crowed joins in with me again and LP come back out on stage and finish there setlist for the night.
And that was the story of my First ever time seeing Linkin Park live... When I get a chance I will post what happened on the second night including a full report on what happened in my eyes when Chester fell right in front of me at the 2nd show (15/10/07)
Until then,
LPE will be back!
