Leather jacket left behind: Band update - Avenged Sevenfold with special guests Disturbed and Chevelle

What about what now?

This is what happened (or actually what is happening) after my previous blog. I loved writing down everything I could remember and that's actually the only reason why this blog was born.

My previous blog was started for my schoolwork when I was training to become festival assistant and I didn't have the heart to delete it, so it also became my blog for later schoolwork about learning travelling. It also has some more personal posts about places and my work as bartender.

And as the name says, it's time to put my leather jacket blog behind (I still wear leather jackets tought) and turn a new leaf; changes are that from now on I'm writing in English and this blog is much more personal, more me and less school or work (even tought work is life and I won't stop learning until I die...).

So before you bore to death; hello new readers and (short of) welcome back older ones. My name is Hanna and I will be your future guide. To keep my mind steady I have my cat Kingi and sudokus ready for what's going to happen.

Band update - Avenged Sevenfold with special guests Disturbed and Chevelle

Exactly week ago I got to see my favorite band play live. Also I got the chance to shake off my anxiety of crowded places... Or to fight it a little, at least.

So. I went all alone to Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, where the concert was held place. It seemed bigger than I had imagined, but things went really smoothly from parking to the actual concert and leaving home. Surprisingly smoothly, I'd have to add.

First one was a band called Chevelle. I have never heard about it before, but it sounds pretty good. Especially on live. I have a sample for you, a song called "Door to Door Cannibal". I didn't take any photos of the band, I'm afraid. I saved my camera for Disturbed and Avenged.

Then. The best of the best; Disturbed. I have waited for almost five years to see them go live. For my unfortunate, the year I first heard of Disturbed was also the year they desided to have a break from recording and doing concerts. So finally, after five years I got to see them go live, and they were amazing. I loved every second of it, even the media wrote that Disturbed was the best that night. Although I don't think that Chevelle has that many fans here in Finland. And Disturbed-fans were probably the most exited. For their song I have chosen one of my favorites; "The Light".

And last but not least; Avenged Sevenfold. I'm actually not that big of a fan, but I do like their music. Between bands I had to think if I was going to stay and listen. I had paid to see them, but I was scared about the amount of people rushing to their cars. I'm glad I stayed. Although there was a drunk idiot (who made noise for three songs and then got thrown out) it was amazing. From them, the song to listen is my favorite of all time; "Nightmare".

It was fun. Whole night. I do recommend all, if you like something better than pop.
