This could've been written yesterday but I wanted to work on art instead whoops. Anyways last Friday I saw Cannibal Corpse [My dad's idea but I wouldv'e wanted to go either way] and 2 friends were there too YAY!! Show started off with death metal band Fulci. Great band loved their snare tone but their visuals freaked me out [gorey content, they gave a warning beforehand btw]. I had my eyes closed or slinted most of the time since stuff like that freaks me out. Second band of the night was Full Of Hell which might become a new fav band of mine I can feel it happening. Grindcore band with sludgy/doom elements and ngl they remind me of Converge [Love em sm]. Their vocalist is crazy talented. Third band was crossover thrash band Municipal Waste which is the only other band I'm familiar with. Really good band live, they threw out cardboard boxes and boogee boards during their set. Also their singer complained about the lack of crowdsurfing which I found hilarious. Finally CANNIBAL CORPSE!!! I never thought I would see them live btw but they were SO COOL!!! Corpsegrinder is fucking crazy with the windmills its not even funny. THE REST OF THE BAND TOO LOL A LOT OF THEM WERE DOING IT!!! He gave his hairtie to someone like right before they played I Cum Blood and that was rly funny lol. Overall great experience, people were nice, wish I got a Municipal Waste shirt and Full Of Hell cd, would go again.
Now for Fortunate Youth on Sunday. This is a reggae band that my parents are more familiar with than me and they ended up buying the tickets around the time they came up and didn't tell me about until after the fact lol. This was to be expected but there was a lot of weed smoking. It was to the point were the place reeked of weed and I got a mini headache from it plus my neck was sore from Cannibal Corpse so I wanted to leave like half way through Fortunate Youth's set for fresh air. The openers [don't know their name] and Fortunate Youth were pretty good, nice chill vibe in contrast to the crazy death metal on friday. Also the fries at that venue are so good OUGHHH, thought id mention that
Ok thats about it I got two back to back shows in two weeks that I'm excited for lol
I was gonna write the whole experiance yesterday but I was honestly too tired + in the mood for finding old Mudvayne fansites that I honestly wasn't bothered but here we go we're doing this today!!!!
Ok so the actual concert date was on September 28 and I went w a friend! I had Chad's facepaint on and she made a stamp to put their logo on her cheek. We were at the front like the entire time of the show and even then I wasn't in any mood to mosh anyways cuz somethimes the pit scares me, plus I'm really short so its hard for me to navigate a pit. Firt band of the night was Vended. I saw them open for KoRn last year and this could have been my third time seeing them if I didn't miss them when I saw SlipKnoT also last year. I only really know one or two songs by them but THEY WERE REALLY GOOD! They sound like if SlipKnoT was metalcore but in a really good way. They played around five songs and Static-X was next. The lineup of songs they did was very silly as they played three KoRn songs in a row followed by two Motorhead songs in a row and then the rest was assorted metal. Idk I thought it was funny they kept playing the same artist.
Before Static-X started, there was this guy wearing a gigantic disco ball as a head and when it started it introduced the band as Evil Disco, as that's what they always refered to themselves as and started with Bled For Days WHICH I WAS NOT EXPECTING??? Their set was incredibly fun! They had a lot of bubbles, fake snow, fog machines, mascotts, and giant ballons at the end. I knew their mascott X-Bot [which I didn't know had a name until like yesterday??] was gonna come out for a song or two but I was not expecting the giant frankenstein that was so silly I got that on video lol. Cold was a nice tribute to the late Wayne Static which was incredibly nice and He's A Loser felt straight from the music video that was such a trip. Also a security person working the evnt was giving everyone from the from Static-X picks like in the middle of the set and I got Tony's [bass] pick!!
Ok Mudvayne time AGHHHH!! I freaked once they started coming out on stage. They had on the intro to LD 50 as they were coming on ough that was so cool. I SCREAMED once Ryan came on stage he is soso cool I'm probably going to be glazing him the whole time I talk about Mudvayne's part here. Oh also he made eye contact with my friend LIKE WHAT THATS SO COOL!!! Ok so they start with Dig and go into Internal Primates Forever and wow so amazing. Ryan is like crazy talented with the bass and seeing him perform all that crazy shit was just chef's kiss. Him and Chad came over to our area many times, Marcus was like 2, and I think I may have made eye contace with Chad a few of those times but I can't say for sure. Chad made a lot of speeches throughout the night of the metal community being a big family and how we are all untited out our love for metal music. I ended up crying during one of them cuz there was a part where he was telling the audience to let out frustrations out and I ended up sobbing X_X. He also told us in the beginning of the show that Greg couldn't make it due to some issues [pretty sure it had something to do with his wife having cancer] and hearing that was very sad :( I hope he's doing well. Nothing To Gein was the last of the L.D. 50 songs they played and wow that was really intense. I couldn't tell if Chad was crying towards the end of the song. They off for a bit and he came back out without the overalls and this tanktop that said Fuck Cancer on it. Apparently our show was the first time they every played their new song Sticks And Stones SO THAT WAS A VERY BIG HONOR!! There was a part of the show where Chad was telling us to give high fives to people we didn't know. I gave two high fives and Ryan was giving our area air high five UGHHH WHY IS HE SO COOL!!! They ended with happy [? Pretty sure but I'll double check my vids] and wow that was a very good show I could yap more but that would take forever. I have like 4 shows next month so expect several journal entires for them lol!
This is just for myself as theres a lot of updates that I need to do for this site lol. Plus I didn't want to make a separate page or list somewhere else so I might as well put it here.
Ok wow that was a lot more than I initially thought ToT
Hey yall!! This is something that I've been meaning to mention for a while now but my main website is slowly running out of space! Currently, it is at 79.1% [though I get the feeling this will change quickly]. I have a good feeling that the art and oc pages are the main reason why there is a lot of space being taken up as they both have folders with a billion pages in them. I tired something with the art pages to show alt versions without making a new page which I may need to implement soon with my oc pages though I have no idea how to currently do this... I've been considering getting a premiun account with Neocities for a while now so I have significantly more space for me to work with but I currently don't have a bank account to pay for it atm plus each time I meantion it to my parents they either forget or tell me to wait for it [I've been telling them this throughtout the year and it is driving me mad...] I'm planning on adding more art pages today which is going to take up more space which makes me feel like I won't be able to update this for awhile unless it's a layout change which saddens me :(.
I'm going to do everything I can to reduce space though I get the feeling it won't do anything :(
Well don't I just have the things to yap about, Touhou and Orgy. My two fav things ever [what a funny contrast btw lol].
Ok so first and furmost, Fossilized Wonders, the 20th Touhou Project game. Wow, impressive that this series has gone on for so long btw. With the news a few months back being that there was AI used in the backgrounds plus me forgetting to play the demo, I walked in thinking that I wasn't going to enjoy this game as much as I did. Oh my god, it was very good!! I'm going to keep this segment short as I want to make a proper review when the english translation fully comes out [which may be in a few days/hours as Touhou fans are VERY dedicated] but from what I know the game is about the Lunarians using AI and wanting to make an AI base at Gensokyo after theirs had been overworked. Reimu and Marisa both stop this from happening. So this is an anti AI game but I thought the inclusion of AI in the backgorunds was ironic and distasteful, I'm not the only who feels this way. I think the biggest twist I wasn't expecting was Toyohime and her theme being a rearanged version of the Watatsuki's sister's theme from Silent SInner In Blue [my fav touhou manga btw]. I was literally tripping when I read the description in the music room and I might have shed a tear I'm ngl. Overall, great game but I havent gotten to the extra stage boss yet!
Next up is the best band ever [/j] ORGY!! So today is the 27th anniversary of Orgy's debut album, Candyass!! I wish I knew sooner cuz I would've definatly drawn something to commemorate it :/ I also got my first Orgy poster today!! Saying first cuz I get the feeling that I'm gonna want another one lol. It looks like a promo for the second album Vapor Transmission which is pretty cool. They all look so cool and pretty in it I may post a pic of it here later lol!
Oh before I go, I forgot to mention that I didn't think that the game was gonna come out once my Touhou frenzy returned. Like I made my Touhou page and a Reimu drawing [still working on it I'll make a matching Marisa too] two days ago, AND THE NEW GAME COMES OUT TWO DAYS LATER????? HUH??? What a funny coincidamce! I'm gonna be extremly annoying about these two things curreclty haha. I mean I'm always annoying about Orgy but ya know what I mean. Because my two main interests happened to align with each other in the same day, I'm thinking of being INCREDIBLY cringy and making some Orgy/Touhou crossover. I did this last year with a nu metal/Touhou crossover au I came up with but I think it could be fun to bring it back idk I'm just being cringe lol.
Ok that's all BYEE!!
Hi This is a new page!! Im Not sure what I'm gonna do with this, it might not even be permanent but I wanted to try this out as I've seen other webistes have a journal page that seemed interesting. Im not gonna link it to my main page today since I'm still playing around with the layout and I'm tired after the Touhou update lol. See yaa soon!
P.S. I lied MWAHAHA
