Just want to keep it up

I don't have much to post, but seeing as I've been posting every 6 days here I thought I might just keep it up. Although I went to my first decent concert the other day. Out of the two times in my life that I have seen live music (criminal I know, but Australia has a lack of decent bands touring, and I am too poor), this was by far the best. The first concert I went to I saw a bunch of localish bands for free (sneaking in for the win), and while The Amity Affliction and Mourning Tide were alright, I am not much of a hardcore fan. This time I payed $110 big ones for a festival, and saw All That Remains, Lacuna Coil, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, and IN FLAMES!. In Flames is my favourite band of all time, and I could die tomorrow without a care, for I SAW THEM LIVE. WOOO. Although they only had a half hour set, which really sucked. Lacuna Coil were awesome as well (another half hour set though because of goddamned sound issues), and so was Maylene, although I have to say I feel damn scared in the hardcore moshpits. When the damn death pits and walls of death start up I'm out of there. Also saw Alice in Chains and Nine Inch Nails, although not much of a fan of them, so didn't get into the mosh. And a bunch of other bands too, but they were too forgettable. Except for the Dillinger Escape Plan, whose guitarist pegged his guitar into the crowed, probably nailing some poor sucker. Horrible mix on their music though. That's pretty much it really.

  1. They were the first real metal I got into, but I guess that is no excuse. They do say love strikes blindly though. I am a fan and will be until I die. Or go into a coma. Or have a stroke that radically changes my musical preferences.
