... There were more songs, but I didn't recognize them. And there was also an encore of one song, and I can't remember what it was (dammit)
And: They put on an amazing show. But English crowds are full of dicks (figuratively and literally). One of the roughest concert experiences I've ever had- being separated from the only familiar face (Anna) to be pushed into the middle of the mosh pit, crowd surfers like a constant avalanche, being told to "sod off", drunken teenagers, knocking people down+getting knocked down myself, elbows to the face and ribs, squeezed between the tallest-smelliest-sweatiest guys, a shoving match with some short kids, crowd surfer jumping on my head, getting cut by some fingernails then bleeding, uncalled for boob grabs, and guys who get off by pulling out their dick and cuming on the girl (me) standing in from of them.
Yeah, so it sounds like a load of complaints, but it must be reiterated that this concert was worth it to go through (almost) all that bullshit. Besides, I got myself a new
shirt to commemorate my struggles to enjoy the show. The adrenaline rush has lasted well into this day and isn't finished running it's course.
