Finnish accents and stage lights

[glacier_kitty]

Yesterday Karla and her boyfriend picked me up and we drove to Dallas for the concert (and stopping at Sonic on the way). We stood in line before the doors opened and talked to this girl. We got inside and waited (and I bought a shirt) and then Paradise Lost performed..I forgot my earplugs so it was loud haha. They weren't bad but I just..wasn't into it. Then we had to wait for Nightwish..man my feet hurt haha. We were at the back (though Karla and her boyfriend went closer when Nightwish played). They finally came onstage and a lady gave me her stool to sit on (aww thanks). I was told I wasn't allowed to take pictures but I did anyway. :P The songs I recognized that they performed (before listening to the new CD) were Dark Chest of Wonders, Ever Dream, Nemo, Wishmaster, Creek Mary's Blood and I Wish I Had An Angel. Through most of their performance I was like..blah. I just..wasn't into it really. I didn't recognize a bunch of the songs they were playing. I saw this lady who was like..40-50 or something rocking out haha! When they played Nemo I broke out of the "wasn't into it really" and then I totally had fun. Haha and I SWEAR to you the lyrics to Wishmaster still sound like "master, apprentice, hard porn, Steven Segal" live! During Creek Mary's Blood they had this guy play a flute thingy and sing/say the Native American parts! It was way fun when Marco and Anette both were singing to I Wish I Had An Angel..ENERGY MAAAAN. On the way home we listened to their new CD. Karla and I (and her boyfriend?) may go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra too..

I'm sooooooo excited for Trans Siberian Orchestra! A commercial came on TV yesterday for it and I was like YESSS!

Their stage lights are amazing lol

Paradise Lost is an excellent band, but I didn't think you'd like them. They're not really your type of metal.
And yeah, I heard the new Nightwish singer isn't so great live.

Why aren't they? lol

Nah she's ok live..especially at the end when she was singing Tarja's original songs (funnn)

Paradise Lost were excellent about 10 years ago circa "Icon" and "Draconian Times"...........now alot of they're stuff sounds pretty bland and commercial.

But those two CDs are total classics.

I love your photos! Especially the one of Dallas lit up at night and the one of you and Karla together - that one is a GREAT picture, even with the blurriness! In fact, I kinda like the blurriness effect of it.

That's sweet that you may have a potential "concert buddy" in Karla...I enjoy that with Lisa. If I lived closer to you, I'd be your concert buddy, too, if you'd want! Hehe. :P

One of the things I don't like about shows is the standing, so that's very nice that that lady gave you her stool! And I also don't like it when I don't recognize any of the songs...it definitely takes something out of it. But that's great that the second half of the show was just awesome!!! I'm jealous you got to see Nightwish! YAY! :)

Yeah, I heard Nightwish was not so awesome this tour.
Kinda glad I missed it XD

Oh, but this year, a friend of mine has his company's box for a TSO show. I'll finally get to see why you like them so much ^_^
