Hello to all my lovely Deathbat family! I am going to finally get around to tell you guys about my awesome concert experience in October I had. It was seriously something amazing! I know I have been to local concerts and stuff but nothing can be compared to what I had experienced on the 16th. It was truly life changing and something I could never forget. I really do not know how or where to start first, I guess I will just break it down for you guys like about my morning and stuff, but still keep it brief I don't know really. All I know is I want to tell you guys how it was and what I went through LOL!! So here it goes;
October 16th 2013 "Mommy its time for me to get ready for school" said a little voice in my ear as I was getting up to get a cup of coffee. I smile down at my daughter and pat her head walking straight for the kitchen to get the coffee, setting the cup and the thing on, letting it fill up. "Alright I will get you ready, give me a sec to get my coffee." I told her as I grabbed my cup and added my cream. Taking my daughter to the room I grabbed her clothes that she wanted to wear and helped her get ready. After she was ready, she went to play with her friends-like she does every morning- till it was time for us to go out the door and walk to school. The morning went pretty well, and I kept pacing through the house looking at the time and waiting for my mom to get to the house so I can get my things in the car and we could be on our way to Orlando- which takes a good hour to hour 30 to get there.- I was super awake and super excited for today marked the day I get to see my favorite band live. Even though we still had some morning things to do before the time to leave to get her boyfriend it was still pretty exciting to think. Once my mom pulled into he driveway I gathered up my daughter and her friend and off to school we were. Once the kiddies were there at school we took off to my mom's house, and cleaning we did. I turned on Avenged Sevenfold and blasted it throughout the house. Cleaning and things went a lot faster when you have good music. Taking smoke breaks in between as well. Once things were cleaned and the house was orderly, my mom and I sat and watched some TV for a little bit before we went off and went to go get her boyfriend from work at noon. Holy shit so much more closer till I see them! I thought to myself as I tired my hardest to get calm. YEAH RIGHT! There was no way of being calm this close this soon.
When noon struck we were on our way home from his work and boy was I ready to get back, change, and make sure everything was charged and ready to go. Once everyone was dressed and ready we piled in the car for our mini little trip out to Orlando. And boy what a trip that was but, I wont go there at the moment. It was just funny and long! With all the lights and jut UGH!!! %*&%#)* was involved but we made it to the venue safe and no one was harmed.
Amway Center 4:30 FINALLYYYYYYYYY!!! We made it to the venue and here I am hoping out of the car and getting in line for this amazing event. Crazy people were there and I talked to a few and there were people in Burger King crowns. Crazy wait time though. And hour and a half before they let us in. GAH kill me now please! My anxiety was sky high and I just wanted to get in and see the set up and just have "my spot" While waiting in line, however, I talked to a few people and we were going on and on about The Rev and just every little thing we could think of to make this waiting go by faster. And while we were waiting I swear to God I heard someone yell "HAIL TO THE KING BITCH, YEAH!!!" Craziness was going on and then, the all famous "Sevenfold" chant. Boy I was in heaven and nothing was ever going to bring me down. 6:00pm Screams, yells, everything has started. The doors were finally open and people were heading in. Merch table, the floor, it was a mad house. Once it was my turn, I almost tripped over my own two feet and fell flat on my face. But I didn't I was scanned and in I was. "HAIL TO THE KING!" I shouted as I walked through the hallways and boy it felt good. Once I entered the floor I almost felt myself break down in tears I was so happy to be there. All my worries, everything had left me, and I was in a bliss of happiness. Getting as close as I could we had another half hour to wait till Ghost came on. Fine, I can wait on my feet for them not a problem.
"HAIL TO THE KING BITCH, YEAH!!!!!!!" Again, and again I heard this one guy scream it and at first I thought he was plan crazy but in the end he turned out to be a great guy and I will tell you all why in just a sec.
Ghost B.C This part wasn't all to bad everyone still had space and a lot of breathing room. I enjoyed myself here a lot better then I would have thought, besides someone screaming in my ear. But hey we were at a concert, people are going to do that. They were short and too the point, all dressed up in fancy dead pope kinda costumes and such it was pretty nifty. I enjoyed it.
Deftones THIS was where it got to the peek of crazy. Right when they came on stage it was like one big huge wave of 2k plus people on the floor pushing and shoving to get closer. "HAIL TO THE KING BITCH!" Again was said throughout the whole night, the guy even introduced himself but it was so loud I couldn't catch his name. Honestly though, in the middle of the set I was pushed and shoved into his mini group of friends and I had to seriously hold on to him so I wouldn't die with this mosh pit that was going on. Some Mexican looking dude and his girlfriend were by us and he was shouting Hail Satan and all this while the guy I was holding on to was shouting Hail To The King. It was fucking crazy as hell. There was a fist fight behind us and I wanted to seriously just hide HAHA
Avenged Sevenfold It was at that 9:00 point and these guys were still setting up, which is okay the stage set up they had was HUGE and holy shit it blew my mind away. At this point while we were all waiting, Chris and I were talking and other girls were talking to us as well. Taking pictures and I took a video scan of the place so I can show my mom and her boyfriend the crowed I was in. Every so often when the curtain rose everyone was screaming and was thinking they were going to come on. NOPE just the groupies doing the stage work and such. At first while we had our little shimming room, I was standing in front of Chris, which he said was not a good idea, but hell, I wanted to be as close as possible to get pictures and videos and all that fun stuff. I had my mind set form watching all the live content I did watch. But once the lights went off and the music started up I had a feeling in my gut that told me Chris was right and to be behind him so I got there quickly and. BOOM There was Synyster Gates, Zacky V, Johnny Christ, Arin Iljay, and of course, M Shadows. There, playing in front of my eyes. Shepherd of Fire Critical Acclaim Welcome To The Family
Just a shit ton on their music was blasting in my ears. I was crying with happiness as I stood there clung to Chris for dear life getting pictures and videos(which I will post later on.)
NIGHTMARE SOLO!
Synyster Gates solo
Honestly, this was the best concert of my entire life I would relive this over and over if I had the chance too. Towards the end of the set however I did get elbowed and kicked in the head pretty hard. For they played Unholy Confessions and Chapter Four, from Waking The Fallen. BUT I SURVIVED and I wanna say thank you to Chris for helping me through it all! Once Chapter Four was ending Chris asked if I was alone or with someone and I told him I was alone and he even helped me get out okay and made sure I was in the car with my mom and everything. He was such great company! Now I am going to shut my trap even though there is a lot more things I wanna talk about but can't cause this will turn into a book HAHA!! Sorry for the rambling and everything I just really wanted to share this guys with you. I will even post some pictures and stuff that I took so stay tuned!
