Well as some of you know, I went to a jam packed concert yesturday featuring Billy Talent, Thornley, Theroy Of A Deadman and the Armchiar Cynics. The concert was eight hours of awesomeness! ;D
There were five seed bands that played and I already forget their names . They weren't too bad, some really sucked but a few of them were very good.
After them, it was the Armchair Cynics who took the stage. They didn't sound as good as I hoped they would. Don't get me wrong thier performance was really cool for the songs I knew. It's the ones I didn't know that is was kinda meh. They played a few songs from Coffeeshop Confessions which I haven't heard and some new stuff ;D.
After that it was Mariahs Trench who were pretty good I must say. I was getting food and stuff during them so I didn't really get a good view or idea of what they were playing
After that it was Thornley. At this point my friends and I were like "Time for the mosh pit" So we got in there and Thornley starts playing "Come Again." Well the crowd go wild and the crowd surfing starts. Now I'm kind of a small guy so when you start pushing and shoving, I don't push back really hard. Everyone starts sweating about 5 mins in to Thornley's set. Keep in mind that half of them are drunk or stoned. So we keep pushing and shoving all the while Thornley is playing a lot of cover songs, U2, Green Day, and (uh oh *runs from Jess*) Pearl Jam's Jeremy.
After that, my friends and I are pooped so we leave the mosh pit while Theroy Of A Deadman gets ready. The stupid vendors charged three bucks for a glass of bloody WATER. Anyways, my friends and I decide to sit Theroy Of A Deadman out since we are pooped. They did pretty good, their standout performance was easily "Santa Monica." Mostly is was stuff from "Gasoline" they were playing.
After that it was the main attraction, at about 9:00 BILLY TALENT comes out all screaming and went right into "Devil In A Midnight Mass." The performance was sooo good. I'm surprised Ben didn't lose his voice man he was screaming his head off. After that it was "Red Flag," which may be the second single. That was really cool too. Then Ben was making sure no one was being killed in the crowd and telling the drunk and stoned guys to keep their you know what away from the ladies, which drew a mixed reaction from the crowd we'll say . Anyways, they continued to play stuff from their new record (Which I'll buy eventually ). Then they stop, Ben does a politcal rant and hates on Harper. YAY Harper hating . After that they performed "River Bleow," "Try Hoinesty," and "Nothing To Lose." Then it was over eight freaking hours after it started.
All in all I had a blast, my first mosh pit which was insanely fun and Billy Talent was really good! I'm still sore
