Am thinking about the concert. It's all-consuming. Though we weren't close to the stage we still got pretty good seats and thanks to zoom we got close ups of the band (show you next few days when I get the disc from Lisa).
At the start David was wheeled out like Hannibal Lecter with the jacket and mask and on the trolley, and when he got out of that he broke into 'Perfect Insanity' and the place went nuts! The crowd was huge, and loud! OMG had never been to a concert where the crowd's singing almost drowned out the singer a lot of the time. Well not quite, he did pack a vocal punch I have to say. And it was hilarious about half way through as the band were mingling back behind the curtain having a break or something David strolls back out and sits in the middle of the stage and gives some speach about it looks to the band to see people sitting down in their seats when they're up there sweating their ***** off and then tells the left hand of the stadium to get the **** up out of their ******* seats, and so on, and this went on for a few minutes. Mind you he wasn't abusing them, it was like starting a war to see how loud each side of the stadium could be against each other. That was awesome. Have never screamed so much in my entire life! (Which is sorta funny when I watched the footage again on my mobile phone on the way home, I was like - do I really sound like that? That's embarrassing!)
There was also a part where he asked if anyone had been to their shows before. Some screamed, like Lisa. He asked if last night's show was their first time and of course the place (like me) went wild. Then he was like 'well allow me if you will the pleasure of devirginising you to this little experience...' and he made mention of that again at the end. Man's quite the perv ('now that I've popped your ******* cherries'), but **** was he awesome. I mean my *** he's one solid sexy *****, and he can work a crowd just by standing there, that's for sure. One of the best nights of my life. Didn't want it to end. Sad now it's over.
Behind Crimson Eyes was okay,
Alter Bridge started off okay but by the last song I think (well we were, me Lisa and a chick we met there named Kristel, who was 2 months pregnant and spent the night screaming 'show us your **** flaps!' at the top of her lungs, yes, true story) we were all cheering that they got off the stage. They sounded good to start but sucked like country folk at the end. *shudders*
POD were pretty good I have to admit. 'Youth of the nation', their song, had the place jumping. Even I got into that one, it went off! But the minute Disturbed came out I was just in a daze. I forgot half the words to songs I know by heart and I just couldn't stop staring and screaming. Wow. Just wow. Went in lookin pretty. Came out sweaty, croaky and looking like the night after a hard night on the turps. Was just awesome. Slipknot will be awesome too, I'm in the pit for that one! I'm gonna die! Can't wait! YAY!!!
Have to take a pic of mah new shirt and show it off. Later. After work maybe. IT ROCKS!
This is inside the Brisbane EC before the show. The rest you'll get later
