WE ARE PA-RA-MORE!!!

WOOOOOOOOO! So I went to Paramore's concert last night (17.10.10, yeah!) with my lovely friend, Bjaay and a couple of her friends and damn, it was one of the best things ever! Despite the fact we've waited 4 hours, it was worth it. So I found it really exciting and new since I've never been to a concert before. While we were waiting outside, Paramore was doing sound checks and rehearsing and we heard Hayley Williams' voice, it was like god speaking to us or something and we got sooooo excited and was fully anticipating, like we weren't already :L. It started with their supporting band, Relient K, and they played a few songs including a cover of "Dynomite". I was excited to see them cos I know like these one song of their's but they didn't play it D:. But their other songs are still quite good. Then this other band played but I didn't know their names but they were pretty crap anyways.

Because you're not allowed to take water bottles in, they were handing out these cups of water and you take a gulp and hold it up and whoever wants it can just take it from you. I thought the water cups were much more interesting/exciting then Paramore's supporting bands and judging from most of the people in the crowd they thought so too :L ! And with these little gestures of passing water around seems to unite the crowd of fans together...I loved it!

After, 3 hours once we got in, including after been in the gross as toilets, hearing Relient K, the other band which went for a while and another half hour after them...PARAMORE FINALLY CAME ON!!! Pretty sure we started becoming more wild when these awesome as curtains came down covering the stage and everyone pretty much screamed their heart out! They started playing the intro to the first song, which I think was "Careful" and once the singing began, the curtains fall down revealing the band! And OMG we saw HAYLEY WILLIAMS like less than 10 metres away from us!! *insert hysterical screams* I didn't know the first few song they played since I wasn't a REALLY big fan but I'm sure "Careful" and "Ignorance" was one of them. Between songs, Hayley screamed and so did everyone with her, "WE ARE PA-RA-MORE!!!" Once they've played "Decoded" I knew some of their songs after that too. They played "Crushcrushcrush", "Brick by Boring Brick" and "The Only Exception" and they were the best!! Think it was during "The Only Exception", I think, that this guy in front of us was waving a lit lighter :L They also did a cover for this country song since they're from a country town and when Hayley said "We're from Tennessee, incase y'all didn't know," I though she sounded like Miley Cyrus lol. And they also did "Looking Up" and had this cute video on the background along with it.

Everyone pretty much just screamed along to the songs it was so crazy and since Bjaay and I were in the mosh pit the whole night, I have never felt up or been felt up by so many people before hahaha. But it was the most INSANE experience ever! They have these mad as lightings and the atmosphere was just too awesome! When everyone's just all jumping up and down as one was off the hook!

Overall, after this one awesome/crazy/insane night, I'm officially a bigger Paramore fan then before!! :D Although they didn't play "Turn It Off" and we got so sick of tall people blocking the way and being elbowed in the head when other people put their hands up, it sure was one memorable night. Will most definitely go see Paramore again ! :D YEAH WE LOVE YOU PARAMORE! ESPECIALLY YOU HAYLEY WILLIAMS ;)

Next concerts on the list for my concert buddy, Bjaay and I: Linkin Park and or Muse and then Soundwave!! WOOPWOOPWOOP! ;)
