Nov. 20th – Taste of Chaos. <3 Papa Roach.
November 20, 2010
Im back. November 17th is a date I will remember for the rest of my fucking life!
On November 17th I took the bus with one of my best friends Jannike, to our capital, Stockholm.
It was finally time for the Taste of Chaos tour, we watched 4 bands, out of the 7 in total that would be there, we watched all of the bands on the main stage, they had another small stage where the other bands played, but we where to afraid to loose our good places in the crowd, we didnt leave the place.
We watched Halestorm, Buckcherry, Papa Roach and Disturbed. Ive been a fan of Papa Roach since I was about 15 years old, and Ive always wanted to see them live. Good bands rarely come to Sweden, so when I found out in August that Papa Roach would visit us, I freaked out! I booked the tickets as soon as I got my paycheck, and it was a long long effing wait til November 17th. When we got to the place, where the concert was held, there was a huge line outside, the capacity of the arena is 8.500, I think about 5-6.ooo people showed up. We got stressed out in the line and thought we werent gonna get any good places to stand in the arena. But when we finally got inside, we realized that our tickets had a special text on them, so we got to stand right infront of the stage! =) It was a long wait, we got there at 4.20 PM and Papa Roach started to play at 9 PM. It was well worth the wait. We where about 2- 3 rows from the stage, in the middle, so I could see Jacoby perfect, it was all good til they started to play. It was so hot, sweaty, and crowded, I almost fell down from the pressure, so we moved back a few rows, and ended up in the mosh pit instead. We moved abit to the right, and finally I wasnt squeezed half to death. After the show I kinda regret that we didnt keep our places near the stage, but Im so super happy I got to see my hero Jacoby in real life, and to watch and hear the band play live is one of the best experiences Ive had in my entire life, the only thing that might top this will be if I ever give birth to a kiddo. LOL. The weird thing was, that Disturbed was the huge headlining band, but people had so much more energy for Papa Roach, they sang along, jumped, screamed, waved their arms, and the mosh pit was crazy, they energy was beauitful and in all honesty I got so excited the hole show is abit blurry, I just remember that they started the show with Kick in the teeth, but after that I cant name which song came after. All the stress, tention, adrenaline, excitment, mayhem and happiness must have made my brain fuck up really bad. I really hope I can experience the true wonder of Papa Roach live in concert again. It wasnt a suprise to me, but they did sound so good, better than on the records, the energy and warmth of Jacoby will forever make me smile, he got us to sing along, scream of joy, dance til our clothes where drenched in sweat. I recorded the song Burn on my cellphone but the quality sucks, and I didnt take that many pictures cos I was super busy with watching the band and singing along. But my dear friend Jannike took a really good picture in the begining of the show, before we changed places. I found videos filmed in HD, from a guy, who I will be forever greatful too. Thanks to him, now I can watch the concert forever, every day if I want to, its just great to see the show from a different angle, and to see the band better, since Im not the tallest person on earth, it was kind of hard from time to time. LOL It feels kinda like a dream, it doesnt feel like Ive really been there, but I HAVE, it must sound so stupid, but all of you hardcore fans, you might know how I mean. It truely was one of the best times of my life, music is my world, my life, my love, my comfort, and to see one of my all time favourite bands just makes me smile. Its a memory I will keep forever, close to my heart. The day after I was so sore, I had almost lost my voice and had bruises all over my body, a big lump in my head and aching feet, but it was so worth it all. I would sell my soul to be able to see Papa Roach again, my dream came true, I wonder if it will happen again??
