I have started listening to new music lately. I was listening to Sirius XM on my car radio which my fiancé gets for free from work, and I was listening to a station called "Octane" because it is his favourite station. Before then, I usually passed off Nick's type of music calling it "unlistenable" because you can't even hear the lyrics in most metal songs.
After pretty much being forced to try it, I started liking it. But I didn't even tell Nick. I just started listening to more and more until I had downloaded about 500 new songs. The first three bands I downloaded were Halestorm, The Pretty Wreckless and Icon for Hire, which are still three of my favourites. Anyways, I just kept googling music "like" whatever I was listening to and eventually had a pretty big collection. After I told Nick what I was listening to (he was fucking impressed) he gave me his entire music collection (just over 50gb of music).
Shit I fucking love it. How the fuck have I not listened to rock and metal my whole life? There is not enough time in life to listen to what I want to listen to.
Anyways, Nick and I went to Toronto and saw Slipknot, Lamb of God, Bullet for my Valentine and Motionless in White. Which was pretty fucking good. But I just have a few analyses from the concert. It was different than anything I had ever been to (Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Emily Osment)... no fucking shit it was different, but what I expected, did happen. There was beer everywhere, the whole amphitheatre lit up and smelled like pot. The mosh was fucking hilarious. It wasn't that big, but just every once in a while I would look down and watch a girl fall head first after a failed crowd surf, or see a guy get fucking punched in the face. Everyone stood the whole time at the concert too, even if you weren't dancing, 95% of the people were just standing to watch. I got into Slipknot quite a bit just fucking head banging.
It was such an interesting experience. I can't wait to go to more. I just loved the vibes of that show. Just a bunch of metal-heads who have thoughts probably just as dark as mine or at least just fucking love some good fuckery. 80% of the people were wearing black shirts, and 75% of those shirts were band tees, whether or not they were from the concert or even one of the bands that was performing. I feel as if metal heads who have been metal heads for decades that are reading this are just fucking palm facing right now to my newbness but I don't care. I just thought it was interesting, that's all.
Anyways, after the concert I was out until 6 in the morning with Nick, his friend and his lady. It was fucking sweet. Just drunk and high. It was glorious. For those wondering, I am not a pothead, but when I'm offered I'll take a hit or two, no questions asked.
My 10 favourite bands at the moment are (not in order):
- Halestorm
- Icon for Hire
- The Pretty Wreckless
- Static-X
- Five Finger Death Punch
- My Darkest Days
- In This Moment
- Fit for Rivals
- Art of Dying
- Skillet
Any other metal heads out there reading my blog laughing their guts out? Or pushing your fingers into your eyes? HAHAHA sorry. Had to.
