Nothingface

Was fucking awesome. It’s the first time I’ve seen them live, but it was so badass. If you don’t know who I’m talking about pop over to their myspace and listen to them.

We usually wait a bit before we head down to shows, don’t like seeing the opening bands, because, well, they usually suck. However, last night, we went down late and it was still way too early. The show started late so when we got there the first band was still on. Jesus, they sucked. So bad. The second band could have been alright, if they weren’t fronted by some stupid elf-y looking man who only made things worse when he spoke.

But god, when Nothingface finally came on. It was awesome. I love going to shows but usually don’t have money enough to get there. And I definitely haven’t had enough money since the later years of highschool til now to really get to any. So basically, I really haven’t seen many of the bands I’m into now. My music taste has drastically changed. So, like I said, I really haven’t been to many metal shows. And I usally try to stay pretty far from the pit because I’m small. And I have no desire to get punched in the face. The pit last night though was fucking HUGE. We were near the back of the theater and we were still on the edge of the pit. The thing took up like half the room. And I am seriously amazed at how quickly the guys pulled some of the people who fell up. They practically threw them back into a standing position. Being on the edge of it wasn’t that bad though, we only got run into a few times. And since I was standing behind Jason and right next to Mike I really didn’t get knocked into too much. They pretty much kept everyone from knocking into Sara and me.

I’m still giddy, it was awesome.

Wow I love seeing bands live, you can get a really good vibe if they’re good enough. I’ve never heard of nothingface but I’ll check them out.

Oh, I love concerts! I’m also not a fan of moshpits. I actually DID get punched in the face once! So now I stay away from them entirely. Glad you had fun, though.

I love concerts! I haven’t been to one since last summer but that’s okay. *lol* I’m certainly no fan of the moshpit though. I had issues with a few people at a multi-band show I went to a few years ago. When those asshats push, I just want to push my elbow into one of their faces. XD

I remember going to a concert in england with my ex ages ago, he ended up with a broken rib. That’s been enough to keep me well away from moshpits for life, heh.

Glad you enjoyed the concert, I hadn’t heard of the band before so I headed over to their Myspace like you said, it looks pretty cool.

Are you ears still funny from the noise? :P

There’s nothing like an after concert high.. *tee*

I think the only bad pit experience I’ve ever witnessed with the people I’ve been with was a time when one of my guy friends got his hand broken and his shirt ripped off. *shrug*

I try to stay away from the pits too. When they get going they don’t seem to take in who they’re shoving around and I’m pretty small too.

Fuck yeah, the pit is awesome. I’ve come close to being trampled, but my boy always makes sure I’m okay. Metal is good, I prefer metalcore though, I’m not into the guitar solo type thing, ew. Hardcore shows are the best, it’s great to see everyone just dancing and shit. Kids with their hands in their hoodies just kicking people in the face.

I disagree! I have seen a lot of great bands open. Like Junius and Speakerfire…. but then again, I’ve seen some kind of lame generic hardcore bands. You know, cargo shorts and jerseys. Haha.

hehe that’s kind funny. I have never been to a concert in my life. But I mean I understand I would think some of the opening acts would suck. I’m glad to see that you had a good time :D

Dude, I love the pit. Especially when I go to a Tori Amos concert. I get my ass kicked every time though. Don’t mess with a gang of gay men… they’ll fuck you up!

That was totally a joke… I hope you got it because my sense of humor is pretty lame right now. Yeah, I’m so happy that you had a good time because you were all about that band the last time we talked. Now I’ll have to start listening to them. Damn you, Ashley!
