the cure!!!!!!! i went to go see the cure!!! i went to see the cure and it was the best thing ever ever ever!!!! the toronto show was sold out and my (then) gf was super bummed about not being able to go and if we're being honest i didnt care much for the cure at this point. but the concert date drew nearer and my life was in shambles so i was dead-set on going WKJWHKJWHJW i found that they put an extra tour date a day or two after the toronto show in montreal and set my sights on making it to the show. the trip was an absolute mess and pretty last minute but it was a memorable experience nonetheless!! the hotel we were staying at didnt let us check in until 3 and the shows doors opened at 6 and the venue was roughly an hour away (with traffic) so as soon as we stepped foot in the room we threw our shit aside and scrambled to get ready WKHWKWHKJWHKWJ

me and them have done corpse paint and juggalo paint before but this was our first time doing tradgoth together!!! it was superduper fun and even tho ive done tradgoth makeup prior to the show, it was double fun having someone else there in the room also caked in white. i could not for the life of me figure out how to glue my eyebrows down so i just. Didnt. WKJHWKJWHK they had zero problem tho (lucky bitch) while we were doing our makeup, i thought it would be fitting to listen to the cure so i put on the cures greatest hits. not even three seconds into "boys dont cry" and they start BAWLING like hiccup sobbing WJKWHKJWHWJKHW at this point we only had a few minutes before we had to be out the door so they went- tear streaked makeup and all WKJHWKWJHWKJ !! ♥

so!!!! on our way to the show!! we're in montreal right? and neither me or them speak a lick of french. so we call a cab and ask to go to the bell center. he has no clue wtf we're saying. we start kinda panicking and im like "the center bell!!" yknow- backwards like most things are in french. and he's like ahhh yeah yeah!! downtown! and we take off. WKHWKJWHKJWHKJW again, it being a foreign area, we didnt know if we were in the right place- but once goth people started popping up left right and center we knew we were fine lol. when we got inside it was totally fucking surreal- vv awesomesauce place!! people complimented us alot and we made a friend!!

prior to the show we kinda freaked out a bit bc we got our tickets last minute so we had no idea where we would be sitting- GIRLLLLLL WE GOT FLOOR SEATS!!! it was fucking amazerbeams being that close to theeeeee robert smith omg

im a little freak right?? so leading up to the show i stalked the cure's subreddit obsessively. someone made a list of all the somgs performed during the tour and their respective likelyhoods of occuring. and the songs i liked were very low on that list- slim chances of them being played. so imagineeeeeee my absolute shock amazement bewilderment excitement when i hear the opening chords of "Why Can't I Be You"- my all time favourite cure song of all time ever ever ever. WJKDHKDJWHJKWDHKWDHWK

getting home was a fucking WRECK tho omg. we tried calling cabs and they refused to help us bc we didnt speak french LMAOAOOOOOO ended up calling a cab who played us the worst music ive ever heard and asked us if we liked it WKGWJKWGKWJWK but all in all a fucking aMAZING show!! vv happy i got to see them!!! ♥

another total spur of the moment concert WKWHKJWHKJWHWK i was hanging outside of school with my friend for the first time and we fucked around for the whole day and generally jst had a blast!! i was originally going to go to the concert with a different friend but she wasnt picking up her phone (her ass was SLEEP!! can you BELIEVE!!!!) WKJHWKJWJKW annnnyways i resided in a shithole nowhere town at the time so fun things like metal concerts were rare to come by. so i wasnt gonna pass this up. i also didnt want to go alone bc..... yeah its just not a nice place to be in esp if yr alone and vulnerable WKJHWKWHJK so i asked if my friend (whomst i shall now refer to as D) if they wanted to go. they were down, so about half an hour before the doors opened i bought tickets (which was a whole mess in and of itself- my card wasnt working and there was a little timer on the checkout screen so in a moment of panic i just put it on my dads credit card which he gave me for emergencies WKJWHKJWHWKJHK) annnnnyways!!! the fun bit was D's house was a quick walk to the venue and GODDDDD we were so pumped!!! once we got in line tho i started freaking out bc they were asking people for ids and i dont have mine (another long story) WHWKJWHKJW but everything worked out fine and was totally awesomesauce!!!

it was my first metal show and D's first concert in general so it was technically a new experience for both of us!!! it was such a killer time tho!! everyone was super nice and friendly and had really cool band merch and there was this one guy- absolute brick wall of a man- whom we both thought was really cute WJHWKJWHKJWHJK our first pit experience was off the WALLS fun!!!! genuinely it was one of the most addicting things ive ever experienced and id kill to relive it again WKJHWKJWHKJ being thrown around like a human pinball is so freeing and soothing to my soul omg. i wore my brand new chucks to the show and by the end of it they were covered in footprints and dirt and i ADORED IT!!! i bruised for the first time!!!! ive always been sort of a sheltered kid and i was never allowed to do anything- much less roughouse (didnt stop me tho lmao) so this was big for me!!

the bands were fucking AMAZERBEAMS!!!!!!!!!!! ive never heard of any of them prior to the show but i was immediately OBSESSED!!! i fucking LOVE death metal!!! every song absolutely banged!! when escuela grind came on- the WAYYYYY me and D lost our minds WKJHWKJWHKJW oneeeee the bassist was so cute omg and two the lead singer was phenomenal!!! she was so hype and did a great job!! and around the last/second last song, she took a break to say that se was dedicating the song to the people in the community that need it the most- the outcasts! the misfits! the minorities! women, trans folk, gays, queers, poc- everyone who didnt fit in the cookie cutter stereotype of a metalhead. me n D went fully ballistic at this- screaming our heads off and moshing like men possessed WKHWKWHWKHW

the actual headliners (acacia strain & fit for an autopsy) were mindblowingly good!!! the energy in the room was like static electricity- just pure adrenaline and hype WJHWKJWHWKHWK the vocalist threw his water bottle into the crowd and D caught it mid air and now we have a little souvenir of our little escapade!! :3

after the show when me n D were heading out, we were walking past the merch booths when we saw some people packing up. i nudged D like "hey isnt that the singer for that one band" and they were like yeah!! and approached the table (since theyre a lot ballsier than i am) WKJWHKWJHWKJ but yeah!! we got to talk to the lead singer and she was such a sweetheart!! we told her how much her message meant to us and stuff and it was just fucking great ♥ there was a marker on the table and i asked her if it worked. when she said yeah, i asked her if she could sign me and!!!! she did!!!! WJKHWKJWHWJKHWJKWWK fucking magical experience 100000000000 / 10

its about two months into my life turning into the worlds stinkiest shitstorm and im just now realizing i dont know when im gonna see my friends again. so what luck! theres a punk fest going on nearby specifically entitled "NEW FRIENDS FEST" !! exactly what i need!! new friends!! WJKHWJWKHWKJHWJK

this was the first punk/metal show my dad had ever been to, so i was a bit apprehensive about bringing him along- but it turned out to be fine!! it took place in a banquet hall, and id never been inside one before so this was sort of a first for me too! there were two halls and the bands would alternate between being in each of the halls, but they didnt overlap so there was no fear of missing a show!! i thought that was super cool :D

my dad is a lot more outgoing than i am, so he was out socializing and talking to people despite the fact that he is in NOOOOO way shape or form a part of the scene WKJWHKJWHWKJ there were merch booths and other sorts of seller tables and he was just chatting everyone up while i trailed along behind him like some sort of spectre or ghoul WKJWHKJWHWJ there was one booth selling cassette tapes and i had just recently gotten a cassette player so my dad suggested i buy a tape or two. i asked if they had any death metal and the guy hands me a tape and says its techno-death?? or something?? WJWHKWHWKJH i couldnt hear bc it was loud asf in there but yeah!! then i went to go look for my dad and he was two booths over buying me another tape and a tshirt WJKWHJKWHWK i also got a vinyl out of it!! so yeah!! shoutout to him for pushing me out of my comfort zone and also introducing me to new music!! ♥

actual band review time!!! AMAZERBEAMS!! FANTASTIC!! SUBLIME!!! the first band we saw was Record Setter and they were fucking great!! me n my dad both agreed that out of all the bands we saw that day, they were the best / our favourites WJWKJWGKW at one point, this really hardcore band showed up and started playing and a row pit formed in front of us. i have no bigger regret than not taking a picture of my dads face of confusion and bewilderment WHWWHWGWHW it was super fun once my dad started getting into it, and he even tried moshing for the first time!!!! :]

there was this person in corpse paint and and a maid outfit and i was FLOORED like i had never seen anyone cooler WKJGWKJGW so when my dad said it was time to head home, i asked if i could do something before we left and i went to go talk to them. imagine my surprise when they tell me that they were happy i said something because they thought i looked cool and wanted to talk to me. ME!!!!! OF ALL PEOPLE!! SOMEONE THOUGHT I WAS COOL!!!!!!!!!! *explodes* they asked if we could take a picture so OBVS i agreed and *WHEEEEKK* its one of my faveourite pictures- me in tradgoth smiling from ear to ear and corpsepaint maid completely stonefaced WJGWJKWGKJW

overall great night out, i hold the memories of this night so close to my heart omg

GUESSSSSS WHO SAW ROB MOTHERFUCKING ZOMBIE BITCHESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

okay okay SO originally i wasnt even gonna go. me and my dad were on some hard times and we didnt really have a lot of spending money. but eventually we came to the conclusion that sitting around moping isnt gonna make us happy so why not say fuck it and live a little WKJHWJKWWKJH we were gonna get lawn seats but i convinced my dad that if we were already gonna say fuck it, floor tix would be the most fun (TEEHEEHEE)

we went to hot topic later on because my dad likes to dress up for occasions (i think thats where i get it from lmao) and we got ourselves some rob zombie merch but one of the shirts was too small for him so guess who got anotherrrrr rob zombie shirt TEEHEEHEEHEE

my friend called me while i was getting ready, and i dont get to talk to her too often so ofc i picked up!! but i didnt know it was a VIDEO call so when i picked up my face was completely white with a cross on my forehead. kindaaa hard to explain to a devout christian WKWHKDJGWJKDW but yeah!! got dressed up real silly and i still believe that that was my favourite makeup ive ever done ♥

GODDDDDDD i was so fucking hyped it was inSANEEEEE!!! this was technicallyyyyy my second stadium show but it felt like the first ♥ the drive down to the beach while blaring foo fighters and seeing all the other metalheads make their way to the stadium- core memory right there omfg

when we got to the gates and they scanned our tickets, they took us aside to some other area. amongst other things, my dad has an anxiety disorder so he started freaking out and it took forever to explain to him that we were just getting wristbanded and nothing bad was happening WKGWKWWK. my dad still talks about it, but he says that he doesnt remember a time seeing me happier than when we got to walk down all those stairs past all the seats all the way to the floor. WJHWKJWWK i cant even lie tho- it was pretty fucking amazing. i made friends with this really nice older lady (hgrgrhrg ♥) and she had socks that said "LIVING DEAD GIRL" on them which was SOOOOO CUTE OMG!!! anyways she said she loved my get up and we talked a bunch during the show and bc it was super loud she'd put her arm around my shoulder and lean in so she could talk in my ear and mannnnnnn- [REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED] yeah. i liked her. WKHWKJWLW

the show. THE SHOW OHHHHH MY GOD!!!! it started raining a lil bit in, but the floor area was covered and my dad was like "good call getting floor seats" LIKE!! I TOLDDD YOU WKJHWKJWHWJKHW annnyways ministry was AWESOME!!! my dad was a bit apprehensive but he started getting into it during "goddamn white trash" WJKWHJKWHWK

alice cooper was WOW!!!! like yeah yeah i he said problematic things WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THATTTT!!!1 im talking PURELY stage presence and theatrics. GOD it was such a SHOW!! the snake was my favourite performer tee bee aych WJGWKJWG but also!!!! the lady guitarist!!! nita strauss!!! me and my dad agreed she was the prettiest woman alive and we would die for her if she asked WJKWKJWGWK AND SHE WAS SO GOOD TOO GIRLLLLLL DONT EVEN TALK TO ME OMGGGGG!! im not rlly into guitar but FUCKKKK SHE MADE GUITAR LOOK SO COOL IM SICK WKJWGKJWGKWJ also i reallyyyy really loved the bassist (chuck garric) ♥ he was cute and funney TEEHEE

ROB ZOMBIE ROB ZOMBIE ROBBBBB MOTHERFUCKINGGGG ZOMBIEEEEEE RAHGHGHGHHHH FUCKKKKKKK IT WAS SO COOL SO AWESOME SO FANFUCKTINGTASTIC AUGHHHHHHH!!!! HEARING MY FAVOURITE SONGS IN THE WHOLE FUCKIN WORLD AT TEN MILLION DECIBELS WITH LAZERS AND PYROTECHNICS AND BEASTIES ALL OVER AUGHGHGHHG IT WAS EVERYTHING WJGWKGWKJGWK

my dad was into rob zombie as a teen so he knew some of his songs but he had never heard "Well, Everybody's Fucking In A UFO". so when mr. zombie started thrusting in his sparkly bell bottoms to a song abt extraterrestrial coitus, my dad was understandably taken aback (but in a good amused way lmao) WJGWKJWGWKJ it was one of his fave parts of the show tho :skull:
that was by far one of the best shows ive ever been to and i will bask in its glory forEVER and EVER!!!!

best day of my life hands down ⑉

this was the first punk/metal show my dad had ever been to, so i was a bit apprehensive about bringing him along- but it turned out to be fine!! it took place in a banquet hall, and id never been inside one before so this was sort of a first for me too! there were two halls and the bands would alternate between being in each of the halls, but they didnt overlap so there was no fear of missing a show!! i thought that was super cool :D

my first black metal show !!!!!!!! the festival thingys name is french so you can guess where we had to haul ass to :skull:

it was both mine and my dad's first black metal show so we were both apprehensive as to what it would be like- i knew beforehand that black metal is one of the more.,,, intense subgenres , and i sorta kinda told him that too?? but he didn't really grasp the concept til we got there WKJHWKJWHKWJ after the show he said that he noticed the crowd was significantly different than the ones we've been in before- and not in a good way LMAOOOOOO

my dad got made fun of in french bc he was wearing a rap hoodie (and not metal merch) and he STILLL brings it up to this day like he was so heated omfg WKWKJWGW metal elitists are assholes in all cultures i guess :skull:

i was up front at the barrier the majority of the show and there was this guy who was also up there.,,. bragging about how racist he was?? KWJWHWKJWHK BUT IT WASNT ALL BAD!!! i went tradgoth with my makeup again instead of corpse paint because i find it more fun and i got a lot of compliments!! there was this lady who came up to me and complimented my whole get up- the makeup, the hair, the outift; everything!! she said, and i quote, that i "knocked it out of the park" WKJWHWKJW so yeah!! that was super nice!!

OUGH!! ALSO!! there was this guyyyyyy *insert girly giggling* WKHWKWHKJWHK he was like. reallyyyyyyyy cute. like SUPER cute WJWGJWHG annnyways we kept meeting eyes throughout the show n he was always somewhere near me and his corpse paint was supercute and i told him that and he thanked me WAHOO!!!!!!

ANYWAYS BACK TO THE ACTUAL MUSIC!!! WKJWHKWJHWJ i didn't know some of the bands and one of them i *knew* but i didn't realize i knew them until i recognised the album art in the background WWHKJWGWKJGWKJW but yeah!!! gorgon was great!! THE NEXT BAND AFTER THEM THO?? SVARTTJERN???? AWOOOOOOOOGA HUMMINA HUMMINA !! THE GUITARIST WAS SOOOOOOO FINE ZOO WEE MAMA!!!! mannevond my beloved HGHRHRHRHHHH

its about two months into my life turning into the worlds stinkiest shitstorm and im just now realizing i dont know when im gonna see my friends again. so what luck! theres a punk fest going on nearby specifically entitled "NEW FRIENDS FEST" !! exactly what i need!! new friends!! WJKHWJWKHWKJHWJK

this was the first punk/metal show my dad had ever been to, so i was a bit apprehensive about bringing him along- but it turned out to be fine!! it took place in a banquet hall, and id never been inside one before so this was sort of a first for me too! there were two halls and the bands would alternate between being in each of the halls, but they didnt overlap so there was no fear of missing a show!! i thought that was super cool :D

my dad is a lot more outgoing than i am, so he was out socializing and talking to people despite the fact that he is in NOOOOO way shape or form a part of the scene WKJWHKJWHWKJ there were merch booths and other sorts of seller tables and he was just chatting everyone up while i trailed along behind him like some sort of spectre or ghoul WKJWHKJWHWJ there was one booth selling cassette tapes and i had just recently gotten a cassette player so my dad suggested i buy a tape or two. i asked if they had any death metal and the guy hands me a tape and says its techno-death?? or something?? WJWHKWHWKJH i couldnt hear bc it was loud asf in there but yeah!! then i went to go look for my dad and he was two booths over buying me another tape and a tshirt WJKWHJKWHWK i also got a vinyl out of it!! so yeah!! shoutout to him for pushing me out of my comfort zone and also introducing me to new music!! &9829;
