God, first of all I need to say I can't even breathe without my body aching in every possible place. I have bruises everywhere and I'm so glad about it, I guess you can't say you were at the front row without evidence right?
This was the best day of my life for so many reasons; I know it might sound ridiculous to some of you, but you don't know how I felt unless you're a Greek fan or you had been ignored by the band two years now while they still toured EVERYWHERE around you. The moment I heard the first notes of 'Noise' I thought my heart was going to explode and rip my body open, I felt like I was going to cry from joy. And it's not just that I saw them live, I was also at the front row and Bill was right in front of me! Man, what else could I have possibly asked for?
This front row thing was so so so so stressful 'till the last fucking minute! Some of us - people from the Greek fan club - were given VIP tickets by MTV since the VIP area was right in front of the stage and they wanted to give us a little bit of something since NO ONE else gave us anything - including the band (except for the performance of course). I know this may sound a bit selfish but I don't think anyone else deserved to be at the front row more than we did. It's something we'd been waiting for SO LONG and we never stopped loving and supporting the band in any way possible - even if it was just via the internet. We were supposed to enter the venue a bit earlier than the rest but that didn't happen, and we could hear screaming from inside the arena which meant people had already gotten in while we were still waiting for someone to open the doors to us. When they did and we entered the area, we saw there were lots of fans in there but NOT in the VIP area, such a relief, you have no idea D::
That's how it was around us when we first entered the venue, which was around 5-6 hours before TH came out to play:
Yeah, it looked half-empty, it was FULL when the boys performed. It must've been more than 10.000 people, judging by the stadium capacity. The stage was very small, which was good imo since they didn't have to walk around a lot and Bill was almost always right in front of me aaah ♥_♥ Fans started to gather in the arena and the seats on the sides from the very beginning and that's the front row in the third picture, with our beautiful sign- you'll see it later, I'm very proud of it <33333
{C}
Yeah anyway, we almost died of boredom until it was time for the boys, we had to tolerate with those boring Greek acts and they mentioned TH 'cause it was the only way they could get us to scream. Around 8pm the band gave a small interview to the MTV Day hosts, they said they feel great to be back on stage, they have prepared a good show for us, they asked us to vote for them at the EMAs and they said we are all a "big Tokio Hotel family" ♥♥♥ So so so so cute T_T And, as you can imagine, it was impossible for us to deal with the next two acts, even though one of them was "Aloha from hell" who are apparently a German band with a female vocalist that acts too much like Avril Lavigne.
When they said their last song and then it was TH's turn, everyone in the stadium started screaming sooo louud, I'd never heard something like that in my entire life. I felt goosebumps on my skin and I thought I was going to cry but I didn't 'cause I had sworn to myself two years ago that if I ever get to see them live, I won't shed a fucking tear and embarrass myself. It took them quite some time to arrange the stage as the band wanted it and bring their instruments on it, and that made us even more impatient, we just wanted to see them with our own eyes to believe that they REALLY were in that stadium.
I don't even remember how I felt when I heard the opening notes of 'Noise' and saw Georg&Tom's shadows. All I know is I was shaking and my heart was beating faster than ever. When Bill came out on stage and I realized he'd be right in front of me, I totally lost it. I wasn't screaming, I wasn't crying, all I did was look at him and smile like a dork. And sing along with him, of course. If there's one thing I know for SURE about this concert is that Bill wasn't expecting us to know the lyrics of the new songs already, but all of us at the front row knew all the English lyrics by heart :DDD And Bill was smiling at us all the time, I'm sure he was pleasantly surprised by that.
I'm sure most of you already know the tracklist; what surprised me the most was, of course, Bill's voice, even though I had already heard him during the rehearsals the previous day. I'm ashamed to say this, but I kept looking closely at his mouth while he was singing 'cause I couldn't believe it was live! He was amazing, his voice loud and clear and not strained at all. I loved ALL the songs, even the ones I hate on the album. I really don't understand why they did this to themselves. It's the first time that ALL the songs sounded better live. My favorite was "Dogs unleashed"; we danced a lot during that song in the exact same way Tom does it here:
:D
Bill looks even prettier when you see him in front of you. He is flawless. Like a porcelain doll and his smile makes him shine even more. He smiled all the time and he's communicating a lot with the fans. If you've never been at the front row on one of their concert you might not believe this but Bill doesn't just look down on you and sing, he's actually making eye contact, it's as if he wants to sing right into your soul, he looks at you straight in the eye. He did it to all of us I think, and I felt so amazing and embarrassed at the same time! I didn't know what to do, screaming would be an awful choice, drooling is too fangirl-like even for a fangirl like me so I only just smiled and looked at him. LOL, he even looked towards my direction and stared at my camera for like, 2 seconds, 'cause he saw I was ready to take a picture but I was so dazed that my fingers froze and I only smiled at him and glued my eyes on his beautiful face.
Almost my whole attention was Bill's since the very beginning, but I was very very sad that Tom was on the other side of me and I could barely see him. I could see all three of them except for Tom who was btw sooooooo fucking pretty *_________________* He smiled down at all his crazy tom!girls in his own special way, that IS something I saw. He only came once to our side; then he came again at the end of the concert to throw us some water and most of it fell ON MY CAMERA lol, way to go Tom. But I forgive him 'cause he was so cute and he smiled and said thanks and unf! <3333 Georg was totally a surprise to me, he was so distant. Even Gustav from the other end of the stage was more communicative than Georg, he seemed glued to the ground or bored or like he didn't want to be there :/ I don't know, I always thought he was much cooler but unless Bill or Tom walked towards him, he didn't even look towards us. It was so weird. I don't know what could've been wrong.
ANYWAY TL;DR, two last things. One, a moment that I totally loved was when Bill tried to make us learn a line from 'Alien' so we could help him during the live version :D People also told us that he stopped and read our sign when we raised it high - the one I told you about and I love love love it:
And last but not least, the THTV guy was right in front of me so I HOPE to see some familiar faces in the next episode!
Anyway, time for the important shit, PICS & VIDS!
I'll start with pictures; I tried to use a descent kind of watermark like this one:
LOL j/k do whatever you want with them, crop them and burn them or sell them, I don't really care. I'm not one of these people that will put a million tags on their faces. What matters is the actual thing, not the fucking picture >_> And as you will probably notice, 99% of them are Bill's, heh DX
/a>
No zip, I'm bored :D
And videos!
DON'T FORGET TO TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME BITTE, I was right next to the speakers and it sounds AWFUL and too loud if you don't tone it down a bit. If you're bored of watching all of this ear rape, please at least watch the Alien intro, it was one of my favorite moments during that beautiful amazing night $_$
And just in case you wanted to hear the songs and not the screaming, there are some decent mp3s out there from videos I guess, you might already have them but anyway, here:

I kind of feel a bit weird after all of this, knowing they were here and now they're gone and this moment I'd been waiting forever finally came and T_T At least Bill promised they'd be back soon and I hope, PLEASE GOD that he meant they will include Greece in their next tour T_T <333333333333333333333333333333333 I fucking love the boys more than ever now and they gave me the best moments of my life. I'd never felt happier before, I'd never sang so loud before and I'd never gave and received so much before with any band or artist. They're just fucking amazing. I love love love them and this tour will be the BEST thing in their career, judging by what I saw and heard yesterday.
LOOOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE TH <3
