the 30 seconds to mars show was compleatly KICK ASS!
we waited in the monsoon outside the avalon for like an hour so when we got in we were wicked close to the stage. like the 6th person back.6 bands played in all. Men Women And Children was first and they were really good. aparently they were driving 100 miles an hour for the past 3 hours to get to get to the venue.
i cant rember the next band thet played next but the guitarists at one point all got in a line and stared dancing and that was great.
then there was Cobra Starship and they were amazing. we all gave it up for the KEYTAR. then they played the snakes on a plane song and everyone went crazy. when they got to the part in the song where the raping comes in, he lead singer was like, i cant rap... can anyone rap this part of the song? and he pulled a kid out of the audance and got him to rap it and that was great.
after Cobra Starship thaere was The Pink Spiders. i thought they were really good but a couple people were giving them a hard time so the singer said he would fuck their mothers so that was good. the drumer chucked his sticks into the crows=d and a girl next to me caught one and it was the same brand and mine.
LEAD SINGER:(his mike wasnt working for a bit)"Jesus Christ!!!"
EVERYBODY: "Yeah!!!!"
LEAD SINGER: "Yes! Jesus is in the house tonight! The spirit moves through you!"
between sets, there was 10 mins of when the next band was setting up and they would play music over the speekers. then sexy bac came on and we all started singing along really loud. and i was like, i cant go to a rock concert and escape justin timberlake?? one kid was like WE'RE BRINGING SEXY BACK!! and i was like YEAH WE ARE!
then Head Automatica played. they were dreased in sweater vests and neckties so i thought that was funny cuz it was druing their set the crowed stared surging and moshing. ive never ben in a mosh pit or a crowd surge so it was kinda freeky at first then u get the hang of it and its wicked fun. i'll like to report that i got in a few good elbow jabs and kicks. i think the surging freeked out alicia a bit cuz she had to go off to the sides. when she went off i met a girl named taylor and she was really great. she was small so she got pushed around a lot but we managed to say together while alicia was away.
LEAD SINGER: "So this is a song about love. About loving a girl so much you dont want to share her with anyone else in the world so you lock her in your bacement.
(sings) YOU CANT ESCAPE...!!!"
Then the Streeet Drum Core played and they were a bit like Stomp only more emo-looking. they were really good with trashcans and pots and stuff.
THEN a really epic song came over the speekers and 30 seconds to mars came on stage and eveyone just ruched forward. they were exalant. the first song was A Beatuful Lie then they played a frew songs off their 1st album that i didnt know then jared just sang with his guitar alone and took requests wile the rest of the band took 5. he asked us what we wanted him to play and i was screaming CAPERCORN!! so he played that. it was alicias favorite. then he played Was It A Dream and the crowd sawayed and sang along. then he played The Fantasy and we all had to put our fingers up and that was great.then the band came back and they played Attack and the crowd stared moshing again so i kinda got out of the way. then jared leaped into the crowd and started surfing. i was THIS CLOSE to him.he was like using peoples heads to hold himself up. it was wicked funny. then they carried him back to the stage. at this pint im no longer the 6th peon from the front... more like the 20th. then they played From Yesterday and i was having a party cuz thats my fvorite song and jared was chucking roses into the crowd. didnt catch one. those things are hard to lob vary far. then they played THE KILL and jared let the crowd sing most of it and tht was compleatly awesome. and that was it. they only played for like 45 mins witch suprised me but the show was wicked sweet. my ears are still ringing, i staill cant talk (i feel like helen keller) my torso and my back and my feet are comnpleatly dead as is my head. what an awesome show.
