I went to Linkin Park's concert last night. It was fucking awesome!! It's just beyond words. Chris Cornell did the opening act but i only knew Like A Stone which is one of my all time fav. Linkin Park then played behind the curtains. The spotlights shone from the back of the stage and leaving the silhoutte on the curtain and then when the curtain dropped, LP fans showed them so much love.
Chester Bennington, the frontman of LP, had a bad fall and broke his wrist when he attempted to make a jump from the stairs with his foot being stuck between the stairs. He still performed professionally. I'm so glad that I get to see one of my favourite bands of all times and most of all, one of the biggest bands in the world. They skipped Malaysia in this Asia, Australia and New Zealand tour. Well, it's pretty obvious that the nation has some problems. It's either the authority or the fans. Who doesn't want to make money? Especially when they need money for raising fund in charities. LP are very active in charities. One of them is Music for Relief. They helped out in Katrina in the USA and even tsunami.
I love concerts. Fans scream so much with them as they know all the lyrics and it's once in a lifetime experience to sing along with the artist because usually, we only sing along with the recorded tracks. The music was so loud and you can't even hear what the person next to you. This is the time when you can sing your lungs out without worrying you might go out of tune or bothering the people around you. But this is really bad for the hearing and after i came out, I was like so deaf and tinnitus bothered me so much. It was so loud when the environment is quiet and especially when you really need to get a rest, it stays with you like it won't go away. Ever.
It was like going to gym as well. Everyone stood up and holding their hands high in the air. Jumping sometimes and you go all tired once the concert's finished. Haha.
This is a really great experience and i really enjoyed it a lot!
