I am c/ping this. But it all achieves the same thing. Also editing links in a moment. Prepared are you? Halloween sucked ass, thanks for asking.
The opening bands sucked. I mean, I didn't like them. It was The Waking Eyes, from Winnipeg, Default who were full of hits that all sounded alike, Mobile which are actually tolerable, and the boring Watchmen, also from Winnipeg.PAPA ROACH WAS EPIC. There are no other words to describe it. They opened with Between Angels and Insects, and it was amazing. I don't remember the rest of the setlist for sure, but in no particular order, it was:
BAAI
She Loves Me Not
Hollywood Whore
Lifeline
Forever
Getting Away With Murder
Scars
Broken Home
Dead Cell
Reckless
To Be Loved
Time is Running Out
Last Resort
Okay so...Time is Running Out brought Jacoby into the crowd. He walked through the arena, unfortunately heading back to the stage right at the end of the section away from me. Did that make sense at all? Anyways, I love Papa Roach sing-alongs. The "Wooah WOAH. Woah WOAH. Yeah. Yeah." Was fun. She Loves Me Not was great amounts of headbanging fun and tons of energy from the band.
Hollywood Whore is the most amazing live song I have ever seen by any band I swear to god. It kicks such complete ASS. So good. Jacoby said the usual, "Who's sick of bitches like Britney Spears and talentless cunts like Paris Hilton?" as intro. But then he continued on right after Paris Hilton with, "I want to take that fucking silver spoon she was born with in her mouth and gouge her fucking eyes out." And the entire arena ERUPTED into cheers. Awesome.Lifeline was good. Those lyrics I used as the title are from that song. I have loved that line ever since the song was still called Hangin' On. No one knew it, of course, because I AM DIEHARD FAN who watches shitty live performances of new songs. I love that line for reasons I could specify, but it's not the place right now. Anyways, it's got a great groove and energy. It will probably become a single one day.Forever was great, Jacoby asked us to light our lighters, or our cellphones, or that joint we smuggled in in our pockets. :p.
GAWM is always going to be one of my favourite PRoach songs. Jacoby's performance on this song live was simple astounding, and it was incredibly amazing to see almost the entire arena screaming out "GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER!" during the chorus.
Reckless was introduced as being for the partiers and the people who do drugs and drink too much. Jacoby said he doesn't often hate himself, but he wrote that song when he did. Or something like that. I was honestly quite surprised they played that song, because I was expecting mostly singles, due to the fact that they have enough singles for a full setlist. Dead Cell was also a surprise for this reason.A pleasant one. I went completely insane on that one. And Broken Home, too. Broken Home was...just...incredible. Fucking heartfelt.
Scars bored me, but it always has. It was a lot of awesome venting, though, to scream as loud as I possibly could, "GO FIX YOURSELF." God, it felt good. lmao.
Then came Last Resort. The last song :(. It was great, though I think Jerry may have screwed up at the beginning, playing too fast, but I could be mistaken as I was going so nuts headbanging. Then Jacoby got us started on the "Papa Roach! Papa Roach!" chant, which, again, was amazing to see the entire arena screaming it. They took a bow. They left. I was euphoric. Amazing concert. This dude to Janice's right was all like, "You guys totally rocked out." Or something. we were all going nuts. I loved that we had such a good section. I headbanged more at Papa Roach than I did at Nightwish, and I was in the fucking stands at PR.
So definitely my second top concert. It didn't beat out Nightwish in May, but mainly because so much AWESOMENESS happened at that concert that it's not going to be topped for a very long time. Performance-wise, they were probably about equal. Jacoby is the fucking best frontman ever.
Didn't get to meet them/get my pic taken with them, which I think would have made my life, to have met my two very favourite bands twice in less than a year and to have gotten pics with both. But it's alright. The concert was so great. I left with the same feeling a left NW in May with, that feeling of completeness and such content you feel like nothing can bring you down. Not the desperation and depression I faced after Nightwish in Seattle.
These are the only two bands that I've ever felt this strongly about.

Currently Listening: Song to Say Goodbye by Placebo
Before our innocence was lost,
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And a voice that made me cry.
My oh my.
