While everyone pushed each other about for the best deals this Black Friday, I ended up at a concert with my Dad and boyfriend. AS Lions, Sixx AM, Shinedown, and FFDP were playing at the DCU Center in Worcester.
I won't include pictures in my post- I'll let my Dad have them for his. It's not like they'd be much different anyway, since I only got a couple of each group. I'd rather take a little time and give you a review of each of the bands. AS Lions is a small band from the UK that's just starting out, and it was easy to see. They were the first group of the night that played and they were HORRIBLE. I have never had such bad second-hand embarrassment for someone. The group tried too hard, and failed to get the crowd moving well- and I'm pretty sure everyone wanted the lead singer to fall off of the stage more than they wanted to hear the next song. All in all? A horrible band who managed to dampen the atmosphere of what could've been a great start to a night. Thankfully, Sixx AM came on directly after and put on an amazing show. While they didn't get as much applause as they should've for their first few songs due to the audience still being in a sour mood from the last band, by the end of their set they had everyone livened up and ready for Shinedown. Sixx AM is a great band in my opinion and I'd recommend them to any rock/metal fan. After that, Shinedown came out and performed and really got the crowd moving. While a good portion of their performance did happen to be talking, the songs they did do were full of emotion and coupled with amazing pyrotechnics. My favorite song done by them was Cut The Cord, followed closely by Simple Man. In both of these songs, the lead singer turned the mic to the audience and had the whole arena singing the chorus in unison. It was truly something to experience. I had heard plenty of good things about Shinedown's live performances prior to seeing them; and I must say that they blew away all expectations I had, surpassing them in a heartbeat. They were the best show of the night and I'd recommend seeing them to anyone, honestly. Finally, Five Finger Death Punch came out... but unfortunately, could not perform much. I don't hold it against the band at all- the lead singer's mother had just passed and the singer had only just found out. He was waiting to catch a plane home and after telling the audience this, the whole arena told him to go home. To his credit, he came out and performed a few songs and then let his drummer finish off with a solo. Having seen FFDP before, I can tell you that they put on an amazing show so despite the misfortune, I would recommend seeing them as well. - maddie
