Lilith, this is for you, my dear!
[fangirling aheaad!]
so.April 20,2011. happiest freakin' day of my life [so far] !
ahm.. this is one of those moments when you realize that dreams really come true :). [especially after you lose all hope that they ever will ].
sooooooooo
i'm not gonna start talking about how i found out and my"riight..don't joke with me about this" reaction when a buddy told me the news...[in that instant a BIG smile appeared on my face. i was in the middle of a Deuthsch course and people were wondering what's wrong with me :)).]:D.
anyway
ahm... the tickets were cheaper than expected, but this..detail.. had a negative part, no backstage access guaranteed. i would've payed more to get that kind of access rather than trying to win it at a contest. and i'm not the only one. oh well. maybe next time. :).
we were allowed to enter the venue at about 6:30 pm. and after they checked my ticket me&my best friend literally ran to try to get to the 1st row[we weren't the only ones who did that]. but we only catched the 2nd and 3rd and because of the crowd we were separated... i wanted to go buy some stuff before the gig but i chose to wait till the end.good choice:)) :D. i also managed to make it to the 1st row. yey me!
then...the waiting began..
hmm let's see
machinae supremacy. honestly? never heard of them. i could've listen to a song or two before this night, but i thought it's better not to after remembering the opening band for gnr in september. they were ok. not much to say really.
during the break between m.s. and Ensiferum i took out the Finnish and Romanian flags, tied them together and the guys around me were nice enough to hold them also.[didn't know any of them] :).
Ensiferum.
yes... this i like! hehe :). they were good. really good. i like them now more than i did before the gig! i'm glad i had the chance to see'em live as opening act for CoB.
the longest period of waiting was the break between Ensiferum and CoB. time flew really reaaally slooow.!
then..suddently... it all began. the reason i was there! Children of Bodom !
the setlist was really nice. songs like Needled 24/7, Angels don;t kill, Downfall, Cob, Hate Me, FtTR In Your Face, Living Dead Beat, Everytime I Die, Hate Crew Deathroll etc...
of course they also sang wiwi, which, after listening to all the RRF tracks, remains my least favorite one.
anyway,I can honestly say they were Awesome! just Pure awesomeness. and i'm not saying that bcs i'm a fan or stuff like that. but really, they were great! it was worth every second of waiting! but...as a fan that is a girl..i can say that..uhm..they are cuter in reality than in the videos/photos. ahahahaa:D i sound like a 14 year old :)).
about RRF what is it to say? great album! in my opinion it's [way] better than Blooddrunk. it has something that reminds me of what some call 'the old CoB'. [and no. i am not expecting any of the future albums to be like Hatebreeder for example. don't want that anyway]. least fave track, as i said, wiwi. why? alexi's voice-too edited. alexi has a good voice. i, for one, like it unedited. and the beginning sounds [too much] like this . but eh. in the end, who am i to judge?
i've uploaded some pics on deviart. i'm lucky my Nokia takes rather good quality pics. haha. nokia rulz!aand some were made with the camera.
what's next? Scorpions in June and Sonata Artica, Tarja &a couple of other bands in August in Sibiu. but the main reason i'm going there is Sonata..:) and after that..saving money for my next year's bday in Espoo [or at least somewhere in Finland... :D]
..and let's see if my ultimate dream, that i've had for the past.. oh well..many years[more than the cob one].. will come true. oh well. we'll see. but my ambition regarding fulfilling it gets bigger and bigger from one day to another. :)
now let's thank people:
thanks to:
- the people that made this night possible
- the ppl that i've talked to beforehand on fb and told them that if they see me to leave me the hell alone! and listened to me :)
- vampiria for being the crazy friend that i love&for helping me with all the finland-reladed stuff that needs to be done in order for me[/us] to [hopefully] move there :). and ilinca and ileana also for helping with stuff.
- my ex friend, alina, for sending me the needled 24/7 video in spring, 4 years ago. you won't be reading this, but still, sending me that link is probably the best thing you ever did.
-most of all thanks to Children of Bodom for the show! it was really a great night! hopefully i'll get to see them again... :). NO. wait. make that: can't wait to see them again :). maybe i'll have to chose between them and Finland next year. or better. seeing them in Finland [this my friend is called masochism induced by dreams that are almost impossible to fulfill :D]
hmm..yeah.. that's about it for now.
Die die :)
