i remember my junior year of high school. me, afton and matt went to see eighteen visions at tek world with atreyu, lamb of god and chimaira. we show up, and wait in line to get our hands stamped by some fucking mean asains. i think i can easily say that was the night i wanted to be in a band. my first concert was metallica, and that made me want to play music. but it was seeing eighteen visions put on a show that realllly made me excited about being a band. after they played, me and matt talked to james hart for a little while, i bought a zip up for like....$40 or some shit like that....lamb of god came on, then we left. and since then all i wanted to do was be james hart. i took afton home, and matt was passed out in my back seat, and then when i took him home we just talked about how awesome the show was.
i was 17 then , im almost 21. ive done a lot in music, but now im pretty much back to square one. so that sucks. i miss being so excited about music, but now i know how shady the whole business is and it sucks. i also miss how i had so many friends back then. it wasnt a big deal to be like "yo _____ lets kick it." now everybody is so caught up in their groups and sub groups that it just sucks. either that or every band has their group of friends and if you're not one of the guys in the band, youre an "other".
i blame rap music and trans-fat in fast foods.
