(no subject)
I got back from Gazette this morning and...I am the happiest person on the face of the planet. Holy fucking shit! I could not be any happier if I tried!
REVIEW TIME!
Okay, I got up at 6am on Saturday, left the house at 8am, got into London at 10am. Wandered around London up until 2:30pm. Almost got stuck in the underground cause my ticket didn't work >.> But I got out! Back to the hotel, crashed out, watched LOST re runs, then got the tube to Angel at 4:30 after learning the doors opened earlier at 6. Got in at 6:20, queued for merch until 7:05 >.> I was CRUSHED trying to get merch, but oh well, whatever. So I got into the venue at 7:05, waited for them to come on, having a bit of a spazz over the fact that it was actually happening. Then the lights started flashing, Art Drawn By Vomit came on and....OH HOLT SHIT! IT WAS HAPPENING! THEY WERE ABOUT TO COME ON STAGE! That man was about to come on, THAT MAN! *points to ava* THEY WERE SO CLOSE!
I can't remember the exact order of songs, but I think this is close enough.
Art Drawn By Vomit
JESUS! XD Everyone went a little mad at the first few seconds of this, then we all got into a nice chorus of 'Hey Jesus!' and such XD And then more screaming when they all started to come out. And the whole room just might as well have exploded when Ruki came out. I know I did. I jumped up to see and I was like 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHRWTGEFYJTDYJHRERWE!' right in my friends ear XD
Agony
This song always strikes me as one that shouldn't be that good live...but it was...mindblowing! I LOVE THIS SONG! 'Don't come'a near meeeeeeeeee!' I sang along to all of this, and bloody LOVED IT! I think Ruki loved it too XD He kept holding the mic out and we were like 'Oh shit! It was done too much! Oh shit! Oh pardon me!' *flails*
Filth In The Beauty
this son is good live...and this was no excpetion. Oh sweet Jesus, think it's good on the DVD's? Bloody hell! Watch it live! Everyone was singing along to the intro 'The reverse side of beauty' bit at the beginning, and I didn't stop. Did a little mosh as he got into it, was jumping around like a loon, and I did do a little headbang during the 360 degree thing XD oooh that was fun
Hyena
Hyena! Yay! I only really like the proper singing bits of this song live. It's goood live, but I was still getting into the concert a little at this moment, for some reason, this song doesn't do that much for me. Still loove it, but after Filth...oh God.
Burial Applicant
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BURIAL APPLICANT LIVE IS AWESOME! But people are right...you really don't know what to do in the really heavy bit in the middle O_o I was like 'Headbang....serious mosh...jump....' in the end I just screamed along with Ruki, and sang along at the top of my voice, getting even more into the concert
Ganges ni Akai Bara
FWAH! I was waiting for this song! Oh God yes! I looooooove this. He was tearing the petals off the rose, and it was so pretty watching him do that, then throw it out into the crowd. First time I heard this song, the bit with just the piano and Ruki made me cry, so I had an inner spazz about that when he did that bit. And it was just pretty in general.
Sugar Pain
This...Oh my GOD! The beginning of this started, and I just went fucking insane. I have wanted to hear this live for so long, and bloody hell, it's brutal! It is so loud and heavy! And we all know, that is the best kind of song, evarrrr. I screamed so loud, jumping around and thrashing around a little. This song is sinfully good.
Gentle Lie
Awww this was all happy and bouncy and awwww. This section was a nice break from the frantic headbanging. I was so thankful for this song XD I was still funky so I could move along to it, but not as madly as I was with the others. I just sang and swayed mostly
Calm Envy
So pretty T_T This is one of the few long songs that really doesn't feel as though it's 6 minutes long. It didn't feel like it at all. It's over before you even realise. And again, it was a nice break, and I just stood there, doing a little sway every now and then, just watching him sing, watching them play, and it was wonderful.
Taion
*Gasm* the screams in this are fucking terrifying live...and oh my God, because i love being scared I was like 'AHHHHHHHHHHHH!' everytime he did one, because as scary as it is, I LOVE IT! And his a capella at the beginning was wonderful T_T People were shouting over it to begin with, but as soon as I saw him kneel up on the box, people quietened down, and let him do it. He sung more of it in a capella than usual, and it was reaaaaly pretty
Chizuru
Sooo pretty! I was never a big fan of this song to begin with, but it really has rather grown on me. And this performance was wonderful. The big with the weird effect in the middle was nice. And I was just doing a nice steady movement, before moving into a little heavier during the bridge.
Nausea and Shudder
I had completely forgotten they were gonna do this. They gathered round the drum kit and I was like, IT'S NAUSEA AND SHUDDER! this one is fun to bounce to, definitely. I did the hand movements, oh yes. I couldn't see Ruki very well, but I was doing the hand movements in time to it. I can never do the one he does right at the end XD I don't know what he does in that.
Swallowtail on the Death Valley
SO funky! Oh yeah, this was fun to dance to, hell yeah. I love this song on the album, I dance along to it everytime, and it's just so easy to get into. It was even better live, and I danced like mad, singing along to it, bouncing. It was just plain awesome.
Cockroach
HEADBANG! Oh god, this song. I jumped, I sang, I screamed, I went mental! I was just waiting for the headbang bit, I was getting ready, like nodding my head forwards, pumping my fist and then HEAD DOWN! MOSH! GOD that hurt XD My friend looked back and was like 'O____O Riiiiight' XD Bless him. He didn't do anything aside from bob his head a little bit.
Circle Of Swindler
The beginning of this song annoys me XD I LOVE THIS SONG! But the beginning is irritating, because when he starts singing it's off time XD I couldn't dance until he got a little more into it. But then it was awesome! The lyrics to this song are kick ass, and it gives me a high. Why? I dunno, I just love it. 'To you who think about things with monehhhh, you and such can't manipulate meeee. This is the way that mine does iiiit!'
Mob 136 Bars
This sounded like The $ocial Riot Machine$, but sadly, it wasn't. But still, I did mild headbanging to this, and shouted along to this, cause I LOVE this song so damn much. I like their heavy songs a little too much sometimes. They're painful live XD
Discharge
I did it...I did the 360 degree headbang. And oh my God, PAIN! I could not MOVE after that. I couldn't move my head at all. But you know what? It was worth it. I have ALWAYS wanted to mosh along to that song, ALWAYS! I said to my friend 'You...might wanna move' cause I don't think he knew what was coming XD It got to the headbanging bit and I was like 'RIGHT THEN! HERE WE FUCKING GO!' I went mad at this song, oh God. I shouted along to it as well. I was like 'WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHH!' It was AWESOME! Awesome, yet so SO painful.
ENCORE
After about 10-15 mins, which I was quite thankful for actually, they came back on. I took a breather, had some water (thanks to sideshow_emmaI didn't die of dehydration XD) and then they came back on after numerous stops and starts of chanting.
Ride With The Rockers
This...oh my God, I have wanted to be at a concert to do this for so long. Seriously, this has gotten better as time has gone on. It irritates me on M.R.D cause Reita doesn't shut the hell up XD But this was bloody brilliant! They really changed it! It's so funky and dancy! And I was pumping my fist, dancing, shouting, bouncing. It was so much fun. Reita, you're so bloody awesome. Kai...oh God yes! This whole improv was just brilliant.
Ruder
HE LICKED HIS GUITAR! OH HOLY SWEET JESUS YES! I WENT FUCKING MAD! I SCREAMED, AND SQUEALED AND BOUNCED! URUKI ACTION! FUCK YES! *breathes* I stood on my tip toes to see, and very literally, screamed the loudest I could and bounced, and flailed and just went completely insane. This song...is so much fun live! It's a lot more fun when you're actually there!
Cassis
T____T This song, is so pretty it is unreal. It actually felt like a really heavy song O_o Which was strange. i could actually bang my head to it in places. But I nearly started welling up when he (and of course myself) staring going 'Aishiteiruuuuuu' *Squee* and he looked so happy in this song and awwww.
Kantou dogeza kumiai
O____________O OH DEAR GOD YES! Oh...OH! *gasm* HELL YES! This song, is quite possibly their best and most fun live song EVER. The only annoying thing about this song, is that I REALLY wanted to headbang, but I couldn't actually move due to the fact that i had killed my neck already during Discharge. I could NOT move my neck at all. I tried to, and it just really hurt and I couldn't move. So instead, I just settled for pumping my fist into the air, and shouting along with Ruki, watching him do that MOSH and shout I love the most, and watching them run around and be all happy and awww!
Linda
Cause I can't be assed to write the whole name...WE CLAPPED! OMG YAY! Love this song! It's so much fun! And Ruki and Reit doing their little 'thing' in front of the drum kit, awww! LOVE! Ruki went MAD with the water bottles in this one. He was chucking them about everywhere towards the end, squirting the water from them whilst he positioned them at his crotch O_O And I got sprayed by some of the water when he came over our side...I shouldn't be giddy about that...but I am O_O *FLAIL*
Other fanservice included; Uruha flirting with the crowd alot (when I could see him...), and he stuck his hand in the crowd, reaching out and touching peoples hands and stuff during Linda I think. Aoi being a flirt as per usual XD Ruki practically stuffing his hands down his trousers, me going mad. Ruki pouring water over his crotch, me going mad once more. Ruki tossing off a water bottle by his crotch, even more madness. Yeah, uh...it was hott O_O OH! and he sucked on his fingers before trailing his hand down his body to grop himself *fans self* PHWOAR! I think people around me could tell that I like Ruki...
Oh yeah, and also, about them talking to the crowd. They didn't really say much XD But Kai was all 'Sankyuu very much *blush*' when people sang happy birthday for him =w= Reita didn't speak a word of English. He might have said Hello and UK, but aside from that, he was talking to us in Japanese XD And Ruki did that towards the end. He tried, bless him, and I could understand a little bit, but he just gave up XD
They went off, after a HUGE round of applause, and I walked back, realising that I was mostly incapable of walking, and practically stumbled down the stairs after crystal_witch, completely ditching my friend, forgetting he was even there, and we got out and just collapsed on the floor. My legs were numb, my neck has never been so painful in all my life, and by fucking GOD, it felt GREAT! To all the people I met there...thanks so much for being so awesome! I didn't know half of you, but it really was great to talk to everyone. If you don;t know who the hell i am, I was the blond(ish) southerner with crystal_witchall the time XD Drop me a line if you remember me!
We then proceeded to wait for TWO HOURS for them to come out. It started to rain, and I was falling asleep whilst sat on the pavement. I really could have slept there without hesitation. But then they pulled out of the car park at about 11:45, everyone saw them off, but I pretty much missed them. But, oh BUT! We were all walking down to get some food, and my friend was like 'That's their car waiting at the traffic lights...' and I was like '*Squints* O_O IT IS!' so we all ran over the road, finding the car in the traffic, avoiding getting run over, and crystal_witchwent 'Kai?' and he turned around in the car, we waved, he smiled THAT CUTE LITTLE SMILE OF THIS, and then we waved back! OMG! WE GOT WAVED AT BY KAI! *Dies*
That was so awesome O_O I had a flail! Reita was wearing a biiiiiiig mask across his face, and Uruha (I think) looked really rough XDDDD I didn't see Ruki or Aoi in the car, but oh well. KAI! *Squees and spins*
I am a happy happy person right now. They are so good live, and I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present. They really seemed to be enjoying themselves, and Ruki got really into it. It still hasn't quite sunk in...hence why I haven't actually cried yet. But oh God, this is a day to remember for a long time to come
