Year in Concerts
It's near the end of the year, so I thought I would do some looking back at some of the cool things I've done this year. This year I've gone to the most concerts I've ever been to in a year, and in a period of a month. I started off the year seeing The Weatherthans in kelowna. Great Fucking band. They kicked ass live. They are classified as a Punk band, but I wouldn't go that far as saying that. It was one of those concerts that took place in a smaller setting, I think there was only about 200 people there. Since none of my friends wanted to go I ended up going by myself. Normally I hate doing things myself. but sometimes you just have to say What the Fuck.
Then the summer went by and there wasn't one good concert that I wanted to see. My brother won tickets and backstage passes to meet Velvet Revolver, and the Asshole didn't even take me. I love this band, the band mates of GNR and the voice of STP. He got his picture taken with Slash. Now I wish that was me because we have similar tattoos on are forearms. I don't think I'll ever forgive him for that.
Then September came around, 5 concerts in one month. Thank god for being done with school or it wouldn't have been possible. I started the month seeing Pearl Jam in Vancouver with my brother and his girlfriend. Hell yah this was awesome. I ended up missing the first three songs, because I was too busy trying to get concert shirts. Then I found out me best friend got engaged, so I decided to visit him and my oldest brother in Edmonton to congradulate him. If I'm going to Edmonton I just had to see who was playing in town at the time. I lucked out seeing with my brother The Trews for a third time (Great Canadian band who play an awesome live show) with none other than Robert Fucking Plant. How cool is that Mr. Led Zepplin himself. Then the next day my friend and I got to see System of a Down. Hollyshit were they cool. I was so caught up in seeing concerts that I just had to see who else will be playing in the next little bit. I discovered that 2 other excellent bands would be playing Vancouver the week after I got back from Edmonton. But none of my friends wanted to go and I had never driven to Van before, but as I say sometimes you just have to say What the Fuck. So I started that Week By seeing Queens of the Stone Age with NIN. Hell yah. This time I had really great seats. NIN played all there best old stuff and all the great songs form their new disc. Then Seether would be playing with Audioslave a few days later. I ended up driving to and from Van instead of staying with the Grandparents so I could pick up a 2 shifts of work. Audioslave another great band with the voice of Soundgarden and the killer guitars and drums of Rage agaisnt the machine. I would say Audioslave was the best show I saw b/c I got to hear Soundgarden songs as well as Rage songs. A close second is NIN, and tied for third is System of a Down and Pearl Jam( they come in third only because I was so far from the the stage). Wow what a great month. I ended up spending a fortune on tickets, traveling, way too much on concert shirts and I got to see four of my favorite bands that are playing today (System of a Down, NIN, Audioslave, and Peal Jam). The only shitty part was I ended up getting a really bad cool in Edmonton, so for four of the concerts I wasn't feeling very well. Has anyone else got to see any awesome bands play this year?
Do You think I bought too much? (Most expensive $80 System of a Down windbreaker)
