Paramore/The Starting Line/The Almost/ 11-23-07

We got to the doors around six p.m. I had found out my friend Allie was going to the concert also, so I got to cut in line. Yay for cutsies!

Anywho, The Almost was first. I only knew three songs by them, because I have yet to get their CD. They started with "Southern Weather". Aaron's voice sounded so tired and worn out, I feel for the guy. THEIR DRUMMER IS A FUCKING BEAST. I want to BE him. I also wanted to scream out 'Kenny you fucking rule!' but I wasn't quite sure the drummer's name WAS Kenny. (I faintly remember his name being Kenny, but I didn't want to yell it out and be wrong. haha) They ended with "Say This Sooner" and "Amazing Because It Is".

The Starting Line was next. As soon as they started playing, I immediately felt sorry that I didn't know more songs by them. Hearing them live makes me want to buy all of their CDs and listen to them into all hours of the night. Kenny Vasoli (lead singer) actually came out and sung with The Almost too, which was fun. The only song I knew by them, "Island", they played next to last. Kenny sounded absolutely amazing.

And, now onto the headliner. Paramore. They started with "For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic"

Hayley Williams (lead singer) sounded good from what I could hear. I imagine every person in the room was singing along, including moi. I screamed out 'Taylor, you rule man!' at least three times when it was quiet, hoping he would hear me, but alas, he didn't. A ton of people were screaming out 'Hayley I love you!', and me being me, I screamed out 'Hayley I don't love you!'. haha.

Uh, they also played "Fences" and "Let This Go" and of course "My Heart" and "Pressure". I think they also played "Decoy". Paramore's energy on stage is amazing. They all work so well with each other.

And OF COURSE, they played "Misery Business" as the encore. OF COURSE.

The thing was, when I bought the tickets I liked Paramore a lot more. Now, I don't like them so much. They're a fun listen sometimes, but not anything uber powerful or moving. But, whatever.

I have some crappy cell phone pictures and a couple crappy videos, which I'll post later once I go through them throughly.

I’M SO OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG! And I have problems.

2. Jesus Christ

The lyrics to this song kind of… I don’t know. Spoke to my soul. I love the melody. It’s so soft and melancholy. I really hate Grey's Anatomy though.

That seriously is, one the funniest things I have ever seen. Crude humor is the best. Crude and sexual humor is the best. I crack soooo many sex jokes, it’s ridiculous. lol.


11. Broken Heart

And people call this band emo. Dude, most people’s definition of emo is fucked. I would classify this as POP. Maybe a tad bit of punk. Emo is SUCH a vague term. People call My Chemical Romance, HelloGoodbye, Fall Out Boy, and Paramore emo. All of those bands are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! I always thought emo was dark and/or depressing. Like Damien Rice or Death Cab For Cutie. Damn.

14. Island
