Gigs.

THE SUBWAYS WERE BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...

ok, now that that's out of my system.. :P haha. best gila. went to watch them about 2 days ago at Carling Academy Bristol. they were awesome.

that night aidah and i were rushing gila babi coz the tickets said that it started at 7, and my class finished at 6.30. in the end i had to skip the 2nd half of my class to make it (dont worry i replaced it). so at about 6+ we got ready, went to the bus stop, took the first bus we saw, and 30 mins later, found our way to the place.

the place itself was best gak. it wasn't as big as like an auditorioum or a stadium, or as small as a bar or cafe like asiacafe. it was just nice. awal awal it was kinda empty, but once the subways came on, terus ntah camner jadi penuh gila. the sound system was AWESOME though. can hear everything clearly and juussttt nice. not too loud or too soft. best best.

the opening bands were ok la. there were two. first were The Volt. diorang mmg best. indie pop punk music. you should check them out. 2nd was another band, that was so boring i forgot their name. haha. End Of Me or something like that. they weren't bad la, i mean mmg terrer. but they were playing hard-rock, like seether or alterbridge kinda music. so tak kena with the crowd. the drummer got pissed off towards the end of their set coz of a lack of crowd reaction, that at the last song he flipped us off. haha. either that or he was reeeaaalllyy into his angry rockstar character.

anyway the wait in between the bands to set up etc was looonnngggg. about 30 mins each band. so The Subways only came on at about 9+.

they were awesome.

haha. serious best. and the crowd pun fun gak. NOT like the crowd at MCR live in kl. this crowd were jumping, moshing, singing along. best best. haha.

kalau nak slack sikit pun is the pushing shoving part kot. i mean i have no problems with just jumping or moshing, but i HATE crowds pushing left, right, front, back. i mean, people could trip and fall and get stepped on. haihz. that one kinda made me jaga jaga and pindah from centre of the stage to the side. but still close to the stage la.

i also took care of aidah and pulled her to *ehem* safety due to the crowd. hahaha. bukannya it was bahaya mana, but boyfriend worried about his girlfriend. of course la jaga gila gila!!! :P

my hand pun lenguh from recording and taking pics. haha. in the end, i didn't take much pics, and video pun was blurry and moving banyak, and ada parts i closed the mic. but heh, its all good. i'll post up the vids here and pics on facebook, in case people care enough to see. haha. tu pun guna camera aidah, so you'll see the same pics on aidah and i nyer accounts. haha.

when it was over, we tried to wait for the bus, but ntah why takde. so we took a cab instead. i dont mind using cab it we REALLY have to, coz its fucking expensive. but that time it was late and penat la.

also, i spent about 60 pounds on band merchandise. as if thats a surprise to those who know me. hahaha.

overall it was a good night la. sound was great. place was great. people were great. company was great. a good first gig in bristol. next up: slipknot, funeral for a friend, hoosiers, the volt etc (if dapat pergi. haha).

the next night plak, aidah and i went to another gig on campus, though its not so much a gig as it was a show. it was Hell's Bell's, UK's ''best AC/DC tribute band''.

yeah, i know.

haha anyway we went with aidah's housemates: melvin, nadira and khairul. reason we went pun is coz her housemates yang ajak. i mean i listen to the occasional classic rock. metallica, kiss, guitar hero rocks the 80's :P haha. and sure mmg la kenal the classic hits. but overall tak la layan sangat.

but anyway we went. paid 5pounds. it was alright la. better than wat i expected. the guitarist was superb. flawless. haha. and the band overall pun best la. good showmanship etc. makes me wonder why did they settle to being a tribute band and not a full on original new band. i mean they have the talent. its puzzling.

i mean if i ever started an MCR tribute band (stop laughing :P), i would make it as a side project and not a main band kinda thing. haha. ntah la.

anyway the show was ok la. after that they all came to my place, cooked something up, makan, balik. and i studied after that (at 3am. bagus bagus).

so thats it. 2 shows in 2 nights. and more to come hopefully. haha.
