Your ideal, perfect concert...

[Guest Heero yuy]

I was sitting around with some of my band mates, and we were just brain storming on what bands influence use the most and how we were going to incorporate that into our songs. We got side tracked and talked about what's the perfect concert...it doens't matter if the artist or band members are dead or if the band is broken up.

Mine would be:

Symphony in peril, Between the buried and me, Fear before the march of flames, Bleeding through, The agony scene and August burns red.

What's your ideal, perfect concert?

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]I enter the stadium arena with my two best friends. We have a carton of rum and cola cans between us, two packs of cigarettes, and no shirts. With confidence we stride through the milling emo masses, killing or seriously injuring whoever gets in our way, until we reach the moshpit, which is filled entirely with topless women and jelly. They have already begun to wrestle. We watch, we drink, we smoke, we wait.

Then... AN EXPLOSION. An F16 roars across the sky, painting it blood red with it's coloured exhaust. Smoke machines flood the entire arena, and when it clears, Korn - pre See You On The Other Side - open up the night with a ball stomping rendition of Wake Up Hate. The crowd goes wild, even the zombified corpses of the slaughtered emos. After playing for three hours, Korn leave the stage in an explosion of blood - but they're okay, cause they do a two hour encore.

After that Frenzal Rhomb come out, looking slightly less impressive, but gaining the crowd's attention (and respect) by calling us all a bunch of c**ts who wouldn't know good music if it was feed directly into their body via an enema. They then play every song they have, so they're done in about 45 minutes, but everyone's so into it that they [i]do it again[/i]. Throughout all this the women in the jelly moshpit have been wrestling and some have even started ****ing. Me and my friends are still the only men in the moshpit.

We are fine with this. Really.

Finally, the curtains come down, only to be lit up, every thread of fabric becoming a tiny fireboll of molten polyester as Mindless Self Indulgence spend three hours abusing and amusing us. They finish by performing a ritual sacrifice of one of the emo-est emos, to much acclaim. The moshpit girls are now all lesbians, completely. The concert is over. My friends and I are so drunk we leave with the women in the moshpit on a huge bus. We go back to their place and spend the next fourteen days in complete ecstasy.

That's about as close to the perfect concert as I could describe.[/font][/color][/size]

Very nice, especially with the Rum and Cigarettes. No mentholl though...Got even better with MSI playing. I don't listen to them enough, but they are amazing.

[FONT=Arial]My idea isn't really one concert, but something more akin to the Warped Tour...only it happens at night and indoors, and the bands come on one after the other.

In no particular order, Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins, and Rasputina would each play my favorites of their songs. This is preferably a sit-down concert, but I suppose a stand up one could be fun if the crowd isn't full of drunk idiots.

Anyway, I can't decide which of the next two bands performs last. AFI is there, of course, and they likely have the longest set so far, which will include my absolute favorite songs by them; "Now the World," "Synesthesia," "This Celluloid Dream," "Endlessly She Said," and "Of Greetings and Goodbyes." I have a feeling AFI should be the last band at this concert, because with a set like that I'd probably have a heart attack or fall into a coma or something really horrible like that.

The reason I can't really settle on AFI as last on the bill is that Trans-Siberian Orchestra is also playing at this show. Their set would be the same as the one I've seen them play (twice; it was about the same both times) minus the slightly boring, not as awesome songs they have. Of the several concerts I've been to, both TSO performances have been my favorite--even over AFI--so they'd be an amazing end to an amazing show.

And of course, afterwards I'd have more than enough money to buy all the merchandise I want. I also get to met each of the bands and have them (and all sixteen members of TSO) sign my guitar or something. [/FONT]
