HIM Concert.
That fine gentleman [that was] pictured is none other than Valo, vocalist and front man for the greatest band in the world, HIM. But let me start from the begining. We got there at 4:30 PM – 2 hours before the doors opened. Where we were standing, we could see the tour bus perfectly. 3 members of the band walked to it, where me and phil were stupid and didnt do anything about it. However, When Gas- the drummer- walked to the bus, i ran over, and got his autograph. Hes really cool.
Anyway, in the concert. Soil opened, we were in the pit. We got are asses kicked, as well as kicked asses. It was ok. The singer for Soil is real cool. Then the long awaited moment, the moment that me and phil have been waiting for since we heard of the finish band, came. HIM went on stage. A million people squished into the middle and so me and fil left the pit for a better viewing place. We went just outside the pit, dead center. SO Valo acknowledged us. Anyway, They opened with Buried Alive by Love, and ended with Soul on Fire. And the played Solitary Man. It was the most amazing, and awesome thing I have ever heard. I now know how Mike feels when he listens too his cds. The songs themselves are amazing and I cant imaging how they can write songs like them, but hearing them live is a million times better. My dad even liked it. They played every song, more or less that me and phil wanted to hear. And Valo was pretty funny on stage. They have an awesome stage presense.
After Soul on Fire, me and Phil went to the tour bus, where we waited a good two hours for them to come out. Universal Studios was in there making some kind of deal with them- which is fuckin awesome. But some of you might say- 2 hours is a long time. Damn right it is. But it was well fucking worth it. We met Burton, the bassist, Gas came out again, and then Valo. Who was really fucking cool. He was out there for a while signing everyones shit, and taking pictures.
If you ever get the chance to see HIM in concert, you must do it. It will be like nothing you have expirienced before. Later
