Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is me before I left for the concert. It was in Waterloo, Iowa in this really small bar. I was surprised at how small the stage was! It was VERY awesome though. I didn't get any pictures of Ivan Moody or 5FDP because it was too intense.


This picture happened by accident, but I love it. A tree outside of the Electric (Bar?) as we stood in line.


When we got inside the doors, a little cabinet had band names and dates on it, and I couldn't resist taking a picture. xP


Small stage! lol


The first band, Another Black Day, was all right.




The lead singer of Another Black Day.




Yeah, that's a disco ball.


I tried to get the guitarist's face. Didn't really work. This made me lose hope in getting Ivan's face or a decent pic of the band. I stopped taking pictures shortly after for fear of my camera battery running out, but it ended up being way to crazy for me to take my camera out when it came to 5FDP being on stage.



Bury Your Dead came on after Another Black Day. I saw Bury Your Dead at Family Values '06, and I think the lead singer changed? My brother swears he was white, but he's black now. He's AMAZING. I really wish I got a picture of him. He actually dove into the crowd and people were holding him up as he sang. He got the crowd CRAZY.

Sadly, after their amazing performance, In This Moment ruined it. Some chick lead singer group that really sucked. It pissed me off because I didn't understand why Bury Your Dead didn't headline. They should have. That chick couldn't sing at all, and she couldn't even mimic a decent metal voice.

5FDP results: I got what looks like a bite mark on my left shoulder that feels like a bad bruise, bruises on my legs, my brother thought I'd broken my wrist and my back felt like s**t for two days. During the first two songs, I couldn't breathe because I was being pressed so hard and the place was so small and I was so freaking hot and everyone around me was sweating. I put my arms over my head and lifted my mouth as high as I could get it and took deep breaths. And I actually didn't lose my brother this time! (like at the A7X concert) He was by me the entire time, trying to protect me. Oh, and a guy was punched out right behind me. A few people had to carry him off. I had an amazing time, I really did. I'm sorry that I didn't get pics of Ivan, but I did take a video that, if I can figure it out, I'll post it here.


Me in my Death Punch hoodie I got at the concert. It's my new favorite article of clothing. =D
