Imaginaerum track-by-track review: one year later
I reviewed this last year, shortly after the albums release in Europe, and got some shit from the bands management and official webteam for expressing myself honestly. I have a long memory, ladies and gents, so I will always remember your harsh words, and don't think I'm blaming the band for that. Because I'm not. I am very much alive and well, and ( Read more... ) -
Nightwish in Oklahoma City, 9 October 2012
I was the only one in my group of 4 that had met the band previously(May 9th, 2009) so I was the one being the voice of calm and reason, meanwhile, its a matter of 'so much to say, not enough time, fucking dickish security!' Honestly, if there is only 60 VIPers, then shouldn't we get longer than 5 minutes total with all 6 members? I am proud of ( Read more... ) -
So long, Anette
Today, I came online to discover the news that Anette Olzon is no longer in Nightwish. I have felt ever since seeing them 3 years ago that she didn't fully belong. She tried, I will give her credit, gave the band and the fans so much of herself that she is now gravely ill ( Read more... ) -
Oh, oh, you just aren't faaaair!!!!
Pardon for the overly dramatic title, but I must shake a balled up fist and curl my fingers into talons over the happenings of Saturday night's excursion to a local bar, The Railhead Saloon to see a band hailing from Oklahoma City by the name of Angelical Tears. GREAT band, very very nice people playing great female fronted metal, and I highly ( Read more... ) -
Review Of BFD at Gexa Energy Pavillion in Dallas
Boy, this one is seriously delayed.
I apologize, I've been lazy and terribly distracted. I had every intention of posting this when I posted the Mayhem review.
So, Sunday, July 29th started VERY early for me. I got up and dressed by around 5:30 and watched the sunrise. I couldn't sleep, which seems to happen when I'm anticipating things, lucky me. F ( Read more... ) -
Rockstar Mayhem Festival-OKC, a review.
I will fully admit it: I was unprepared for the brutal heat. My friend, Xirena, and I arrived early, around 10:30 and didn't get into the venue until almost 1. We actually MISSED the first band because of the gates being opened late. Ugh. Ran through our supply of water as we drooled over the amount of hot men in the crowd. Oklahoma City, you may ( Read more... ) -
An apology for the delayed reviews for July concerts.
Oh, my gosh, I am soo sorry that I forgot completely about reviewing the Oklahoma City stop of the Rockstar Mayhem festival, and also have another review coming up concerning BFD 2012. My health has taken a few hits, obviously, with all that I've gone over before. I know that my health should be my number one concern, which is why I'm glad ( Read more... ) -
Concerts and health problems
So, Fate has a weird way of changing things. A week ago, I thought my concert schedule included BFD, Nightwish, and Epica, and now, thanks to a new diagnosis, Epica has been scratched out ( Read more... ) -
Click!
In preperation for the next several months concerts, I have acquired a new camera to replace my old, tired worn out Kodak Easyshare. The display is more than 60% gone, which is bad when you are trying to take pictures of moving objects.
So, the newest member of my electronic family is my Olympus VR-350. I bought it in black through Best Buy.com, and ( Read more... ) -
RIP Mom! (1961-2012)-sorry, angry
I got the news Friday afternoon that my mother, the woman that held me under her heart for 9 months and had a gnarly c-section scar for her troubles, passed away in her sleep on the night of June 9th. I'm still kind of in shock over this all, especially with dealing with my own non-lifethreatening medical issues.
Mom is probably reading this over my ( Read more... )
