Concerts!

Orianthi was the first person I saw since Rick Springfield and she was INCREDIBLE! She can play that guitar like no other! She is so sweet and really included the audience which I always think is awesome. We stayed after to see if we could meet her and after waiting for a while she came out and we got a chance to talk to her and get her and the rest of the bands autographs. She is so incredibly nice! Probably one of the nicest people I have met. If she ever comes near you, you best go see her!

Two days after we saw Orianthi we went to see Everclear. Now I don't know about you but I think "Father of Mine" is classic. I have loved this band since I was little and nothing was going to keep me from going to see them. Art Alexakis is the only original member so he was the only one who met people after the show but it was still great. They put on a great show and really got the crowd going. He's also a really nice guy. He had a little difficulty spelling my name and after playing with my mom by telling her that she "screwed up on that spelling" he smiled and said "but it's a beautiful name" which of course made me smile like a fool.

Next we have My Darkest Days and Hinder. I hadn't heard of My Darkest Days until this concert and I am SO dissapointed about that. They are awesome! Great songs, great stage performance, and great guys. We got to meet them after the show and they were so cool, I loved them. I have pictures with the other members but I don't want to have this blog post be rediculously long so I didn't include them. The picture I did put up is of me and Doug who is the drummer. After they came on Hinder came on. This is the second time i've seen them and I am so glad I went again. They really do put on some of the best shows! Austin Winkler is one of my favorite singers and his stage presence is sick. Check them out!

The next concert I went to was Tesla. Now let me just tell you all that I love Tesla. "Love Song" is one of the greatest songs of all time. I had made plans to see them back in June but I ended up having to go to a wedding so there went my Tesla plans. Luckily for me they came back in October so I got to see them and they did not dissapoint. They were amazing! Every song that they played was amazing. Go see them!

Avenged Sevenfold is the last band i'm going to be talking about. I saw them about 2 weeks ago (2 days after Tesla) and they were the best concert i've been to. They had a special part of the concert where they talked about Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan which was amazing. If you aren't a fan of Avenged Sevenfold then you might not have known about the Rev but he was their drummer who passed away last December. When they did their tribute to him everyone lit their lighters and held up their cell phones towards the sky. M. Shadows asked everyone to do that for Jimmy so he could look down on us. It gave me chills it was so beautiful. Everyone was so connected at that moment and it was just amazing. I definatly think you should see them. I know that I plan on going to see them again!

Update

Hey everyone!
I am so so sorry that I haven't been writing lately! I've been very busy, which is no excuse, but it's kept me from being able to spend a lot of time on here. I plan on putting up a few posts tonight so i'm going to keep this short and sweet. Thank you for reading!
