.i'm not going to look back.
the used!!!
So on friday we went to college as normal, went to our lessons.. and then by the time 3:15 came we were majorly hyper! Me, Laura and Kezzie went to the train station and caught the train to manchester. We got there around 4:35 i thinks.. and on the way we were spotting for people we knew would be going. Me and Laura nipped to get our starbucks [you know it] then we made our way to the academy.
When we got there, there was already quite a lot of people in the queue but kim was saving us a place so we were near the front. It was like emo boy heaven.. but then Laura made a very good statement that a lot of them have the same hair.. which they do. Some people near us were going skitz with.. fire quite scary.. so naturally we backed away. Then Kezzie came back from wandering and told us she had just seen R.B. At the tops of our voices me and Laura were like "No Fucking Way".. i mean what are the chances! Then i saw this other boy i recognised from blackpool and a few people from myspace.
So we finally got let in about 7:25 and went to the front. Then we waited about 50 mins for yourcodenameis:milo to come on. How i love them.. the lead singer on lsd is an absolute legend.. and the bassist was wearing the same top he was last time. They were really good and i think i enjoyed it better this time.
Next was the wait for the used.. but alas they finally came on!! They opened with take it away which was absolutely amazing.. and then they played listening [what a song], all that i've got, the taste of ink, blue and yellow [aww yay], i caught fire, a box full of sharp objects, on my own, i'm a fake [oh yes!!] and they came back on for the encore to play maybe memories... which was awesome!! At the front it was totally brutal, me and laura were on like the second row directly in front of bert. A few songs in though, i lost laura because i was getting pushed everywhere. There were lots of tall, big built boys and i was getting mega squashed. Luckily though, I started speaking to this girl and we moved to the middle where we could actually breathe and then went to get a red bull. After that i went back into the action and walked straight into this massive pit.. well ace!! I went to go get some merch whilst noone was there and then, during maybe memories everyone went wild and it was awesome!! They played quite a short set.. which i was dissappointed about because i love all of their songs and i wanted them to play more. The set they played though, was amazing and they are definitely one of the best band I've seen live.
After the gig, i was reunited with my friends, we went to the tour buses for like 10 mins and then went to get the train home.
What a night though!
