LJ Idol - Week 13 - Fan Death

Feb 09, 2020 15:49

I went to a rock show last night for Highly Suspect. If you're not familiar with their music then I would describe them as a mixture of hard/alternative rock, with a bit of a blue-sy vibe and a touch of hip hop thrown in here and there. Coincidently I've been waiting for something to speak to me for this topic and inspiration hit me (literally) as ( Read more... )

Sounds awesome! I need to make an effort to get out to some music shows soon.

It's about one of the only hobbies I have!

I'm glad your back wasn't destroyed by trying to absorb a flying guitarist with outstretched arms! Though standing up for 7 ½ hours would have a similar result for me. And your legs must have been soooo tired.

Haha!! Oh man, my legs, back, and shoulders were all ready to give out! But sooo worth it!

Wow, it looks like he cleared quite the distance to land on you first! That's a lot of momentum that your group had to absorb-bo wonder this inspired your fan death entry!! There's definitely nothing quite like the grimy, throbbing mass of a mosh pit. Really enjoyed how you brought those sensations and emotions to life!

He got just a bit of a running start. He didn't jump high - just straight out like superman lol. It was epic! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

I haven't heard of this band, but I like this song, and I checked out some of their other stuff... will have to put them on my playlist rotation. (I always have YouTube music going in the background on headphones while I'm working.) It's been quite a spell since I've been to an arena rock concert, and I've never been in a mosh pit, though I do love that feeling of collective companionship you can only get from relishing a moment of unique experience with other fans.

It really is a special kind of thrill. When its music that means a lot to you and you can connect with is when it's really sublime.

I'm glad you are enjoying them! One of my favorite songs is "Wolf" from their The Boy Who Died Wolf album.
