you guys suck.
'the new singer cant scream' bullcrap. he screamed the whole freaking time, just like the old guy; even better.
heres how my whole day went with foxay03 and krazykeri from buddypic.com
okay, so sheri and keri and a friend they brought (sky, a guy) picked me up at fred meyers, it was a little awkward at first, but then we went into the car and we started talking about bands and things. they only had a radio so we were ghetto at first...then we picked up another girl. she.was.so.pretty. seriously, omgah. then we went to skys house to get a car adapter and crap, and we played the fall of troy, i sung ashlee simpson, and etc. we got lost a few times because keri and sheri were planning on picking up others ,but that didnt happen, so we sort of went back and forth. i was in the back, sheri was in the back, the other girl was in the back (christian i think) sky was in front, and of course keri was in front. we drove most of the time, then we go to the show. i have never seen so many scenesters in my life...i mean so many HOT ones. holy crap. anyway, the line was all around the block, i think the show sold out. it was so cold, we got there at like 4:30 pm, and the doors open at 6:00 pm, sheri and keri had some friends that were almost in the very front of the line, so we were one of the first in...i also met some cool people.
the place was really small, to what i had in mind. i heard it could fit like 750 people, but the place looked like it could fit no more then 400 or so. the first thing i did when i got in was go with sheri to the merch stand.. hopesfall had some cool shirts and everything, but i wasnt too big on them, i wanted a fbtmof track jacket but i only had 18 dollars..so i got a chariot shirt..15 dollars.
anyways, i put the shirt on, and went back down to the front (theres basically two floors.. the higher floor had seating and a lot of people were there, a indent in the ground, i guess for moshing, and then sides, etc)
the first band that played was fear before the march of flames. good band, they were really energetic and seemed like cool guys.. i however didnt care for them...at all. they were too chaotic for me, and i had no idea wtf the singer was saying.. they played some old songs and some new..surprsingly the crowd was pretty calm. a few shoves here and there, but very calm from what i had expected (i was in the front, with only a couple of people in front of me, so i still had people behind me getting hit from the moshig instead of me lol)..they played for 30 minutes.. 6/10 i'd say.
next band played..hopesfall. they were actually pretty dang good. great stage presence, too. pretty cool guys they played 'the bending'. AMAZING. holy crap that song was done almost perfect. they played another old song or two, and other songs like 'icarus' and such. one person stuck his finger out to the singer, and the singer connected fingers with him..then everyone else did it, it was a pretty cool thing, there was more shoving and pushing compared to FBTMOF, esp. during 'the bending'..good band. 9/10 i'd say.
next band played.. the chariot. rofl. this was... crazy. the lead singer had a gay haircut. and he was a lot chubbier then i thought. he kept running around the stage, and juggling water bottles..his talking voice was so freaking high.. a very good stage presence, they were messy and choatic, but it's the chariot. they played better then i thought... the lead singer stage dived a few times and when they had a breakdown, oh my god. tons of people stage diving when its not aloud, pushing, shoving, ah. chaos. 7.8/10
last band; underoath. this band got the most hype and played 40 minutes, when the others played 30. oh my god were they good. by this time it was soooooo hot in the venue, so i felt sick from being so hot, so i sat down for a few minutes, the band had great stage presence and they rocked so freaking hard, they played 'i got 10 friends and a crowbar' (one of my favorite songs) and spencer (thats the lead singers name, right?) he was so great. the whole band was great.. the guitarist stage dived, and pretty much climbed everywhere, of course as seen on videos the keyboardist bangs his head back and forth so freaking fast, to the softest parts of the song..his keyboard fell down. lol i didnt see much of the band, since i kept getting really hot and felt sick, so i'd go sit back down often..they played a couple old songs like 'angel below' LOL@PEOPLE SAYING SPENCER CANT SCREAM. HAHAHAHAHH he freaking aced that song. after sheri, keri, sky and i got to talk to the keyboardist, he was so freaking nice, a really cool guy... 10/10..more like 9/10 since i kept getting really hot. heh.
after we grouped up and went to taco bell. lollololo we went through the drive-thru and the taco lady sounded so dumb, after that we hung out in the parking lot and went to sheri/keri's friends house for something..we really didnt know what we were doing, and so i just prank called people. then sheri/keri drove me home.
i still cant believe i was so scared of dying, the show was tons calmer then i expected ( even though i got pushed/shoved/almost fell down more then a couple of times) it was great. the music was pretty loud, not as loud as i imainged and i thought i'd go deaf, but not even close.
the end.
