A Day To Remember

This week’s blog is dedicated to my all-time favorite band of all, and that is A Day to Remember. These guys are just incredible. I haven’t listened to one of their songs, and disliked it. They are even great live. I have seen them live I believe four times, and I don’t want to drift away from them. They know how to get a crowd jumping off the ground, and they know how to soothe your soul with their slower songs.

The first concert I went to Chunk! No Captain Chunk, Of Mice & Men, and A Day to Remember headlining the tour. Man this concert was going to be off the chain. My friends and I had to go to Royal Oak, which is down by Detroit. We waited outside for close to an hour, and then we find out that they are searching people. I grabbed my “supplies” that I was sneaking in and threw it by my genitals. The guy searched me, and I got caught.

 

Okay actually I didn’t get caught, but I got in! “YES!” is all I could think while I was walking into the show. Since, it was in Detroit I think they were only really checking for was weapons of any sort. There were so many different kinds of people, but we all had one thing in common. That one thing was we were here for was the incredible live music.

The thing that sucked was that Of Mice & Men weren’t performing, because something happened with the singer not being able to perform. This local band performed first, and they were called Sycamore. They were pretty good I have never heard of them before this. Then, Chunk! No Captain Chunk performed, and they were amazing live. The singer was very good, and I would definitely watch them again.

After those two bands played it was A Day to Remembers time to step on stage. The lights went black, and then you hear guitar start. It was the riffs to their song “Violence”, and I was more hyped than ever. They came out with a bang and the crowd was singing, jumping, and shoving each other. Now, this is what a concert should be like. During one of their songs a guy in a banana suit came on stage. He had a blow up boat with a paddle, and was paddling over the crowd. Like he would if he were in water.

This concert couldn’t get any better I didn’t think. Well, of course, I was wrong and then the lead singer Jeremy McKinnon went into a blow up ball that go in water, so you can walk on water. Anyway, he was running around in the crowd singing while he was in the giant ball, just like a hamster would. I liked listening to them on my IPod, but they were way better to listen to live. Then, at the end of the concert they played “Downfall Of Us All”. At the end of the song confetti blew up in the air with toilet paper flying across the room. That topped it off for me, and made me decide to watch them, again.

This song is my favorite song by them it’s called “The Plot to Bomb the Panhandle”. I don’t hold the copyright for this song.
