Last night was quite possibly one of the most amazing nights I have ever had. For those of you who don't know, I'm turning 14 in 5 days (October 12th). As an early birthday present, my dad took me to an awesome concert. The bands playing were FFDP (Five Finger Death Punch) and Papa Roach, and the opening bands for them were In This Moment and From Ashes To New. I'd like to give a quick run-down of the bands in my opinion. The first band that played was From Ashes To New. I had heard of the group before, but had never bothered to listen to any of their music. I wasn't expecting too much from them since they're a smaller group... needless to say, my mind was changed by the end of their 35-minute performance. As the first show of the night, it was their job to get the crowd going- and they did a great job of it. A highlight of their performance was when their guitarist launched himself into the crowd and then crowd surfed while playing the guitar flawlessly. As the first performers, it was FATN's job to get the crowd revved up for the rest of the show- which they did a great job in doing. However, In This Moment came out and ruined the momentum that FATN had given by stopping every song for a rest and a costume change. They are one of my favorite bands; but they put on a lousy performance that killed the show. So much better to just buy their CD and have the songs to listen to anytime. Thankfully, Papa Roach was next and they DOMINATED the entire show. They had amazing stage presence and brought the show back to life after In This Moment's failure. Twice the lead singer went out into the audience, once being just 5 rows away from Dad and I. They also performed an encore song, "Scars", in the middle of the floor right on the edge of the giant mosh pit taking place. All in all, they put on an amazing show and were definitely the best band of the night. They played for about an hour and 45 minutes and got the crowd psyched up for FFDP, the last performance of the night. After Papa Roach- FFDP kind of disappointed everyone. Did they rock? Yes. Did they put on a good show? Yes. They were awesome and I loved their show. However, after Papa Roach, there was no way they could compete. They closed off the show nicely and had everyone out of their seats cheering, clapping and singing along the whole time. Definitely a great band. Before I go- here were my favorite songs.
