Hello everyone, I just got back from seeing Candlebox. CANDLEBOX. Old band, still just as fucking BADASS as ever. This shit came out in 1993 bitches, and the show STILL sold out. yes, fine, it's at a smaller venue, The Varsity, where all the college bands go, but still. Sold. Out. A band that's really not had any new shit come out SINCE 1993.
You know what though? Still just as badass as it was when it first came out in 93. I was 13 ya'll. I've loved Candlebox for fifteen years, and I finally got to see them live. Amy saw them last year and said they were awesome. I didn't get to go last year, she went with a friend that invited her and I wasn't invited. I was upset at the time because it was, ya know, CANDLEBOX, but dude, made up for, because tonight? INCREDIBLE. They're so incredible.
And my God, Kevin Martin, will you marry me? Or just, ya know, fuck me upside down and inside out and sideways? Please? Any way you want to. Wow. I think maybe between the two of us, me and Amy maybe saw the whole show, because my eyes didn't leave Kevin and hers barely left his brother, the guitarist, Bardi. LOL. Seriously, I just, I could not look away. He's just so so sexy, and his voice oh his VOICE, and he's so CUTE and all sweaty, and awesome, and really,r eally good with the eyecontact with the audience. I swear to you, I caught eyes with him no less than fifteen times, and I'm sure HE didn't notice but I sure as fuck did, and I had an orgasm every time. And I'm talking like, eye contact that lasted like, five seconds. Like, five good, long, slow seconds. Mmmmm. *shudders* It was good. Many cigarettes were had.
See, cause the venue is small, and I was RIGHT THERE, and I TOUCHED HIS ARM! And, also, I TOUCHED HIS ARM. And, but anyway, yeah, at one point he came over and was singing two feet away from me all leaning down and shaking people's hands and Amy got to shake his hand but I didn't, but it's okay because I TOUCHED HIS ARM, and I am happy for like, maybe life.
Want to hear some Candlebox? It's not concert footage, because the vids I took on my phone didn't come out that well unless maybe I can tweak them, but the cd versions are awesome anyway. I'll post some pictures once Amy uploads hers because my phone's pictures suck. I mean, look at my icon, you can barely tell that's a person, but I don't care... it's Kevin Martin of Candlebox and I HAD EYE SEX WITH HIM whether he knows it or not.
My favorite, hands down, is
Change. Their most popular are
You and
Far Behind. The prettiest is
Blossom. And the song they sang for encore was
Cover Me. I also love love love
He Calls Home, but alas, they didn't sing that tonight.
It was a seriously badass concert, but not in a pyrotechnic, awesome psychedelic lights sort of way. Just in a good stage presence, good music, good audience interaction kind of way. Boring if you're a concert snob, but fucking AWESOME if you're in it for the love of music in general, and for the love of Candlebox in specific.
