it occurs to me that all my best stories are music-related

the only (and also coolest) job I've had as an adult was as a merch seller for local bands and the only reason I ended up in that position is because I was just Always Around at local shows to the point where I happened to be Around when a band's original merch seller was slackin off and I Saw An Opportunity

accidentally flashed Sevendust because of a wardrobe malfunction from goin too hard in the front row

saw the inside of Type O Negative's tour bus

that Type O show was literally four months before Pete died btw. whew, slid into home at the last possible second didn't I

couldn't afford Steve Vai's book signing at Borders (RIP) so I lurked outside Penn Station until it was over and then ambushed him while he was in the taxi line lkdajflkfjal 💀

that is not recommended behaviour LOL but god dammit he was my fave and I was Determined

(he was very gracious about it. but the only paper I had on me was a copy of Watchmen so for a while I had a copy of Watchmen whose title page was signed by a completely unrelated individual)

saw Synyster Gates almost get run over by a taxi

got into the secret concert after the world premiere of AFI's Miss Murder on TRL and I think seeing Death of Seasons performed live rearranged my atoms

all of this is literally just the tip of the story iceberg

I decided less then a week before my trip to MI to see AFI with Spooky. That I wanted to make my own verision of one of Davey's tour vests.

It's not the best photo, but I think I pretty good since the concert is on Monday, and I've had nothing but Instagram concert photos and a shitty zoomed in merch photo.

I just hope the back of it glows at the venue.

i love that post about the guy who looks like he listens to fall out boy because it reminds me of when my bf told me that if i hadn’t started dating him i would by now be at an AFI concert wearing nightmare before christmas merch and he was so fucking right

[headlessandhellbent]

Had a dream last night. Please read. Please analyze.

 my sister and I were on rouned 3 of our summer concerts. AFI just got off the stage (and in my dream I literally watched the entire 8-song setlist). I left to go to the bathroom. On my way to them I go to the lobby where all the merch is and I’m looking around and I spot an AFI corner but unpon further inspection (I vividly remember standing in front of the booth in my blue/purple/white Liz Clayborn Jeggings, a purple Old Navy tank top and my black flats with the shiny toes and like, feeling like a mom infont of the skinny tatted dudes running the stand) realized that it wasn’t CONCERT merch, but it was all Spencer’s brand band merch? And the booth next to them was specifically Hot Topic merch with Hot Topic tags on every item. I rememeber being really fucking confused but not fucking confused enough to actually ask anyone if there was actual concert merch so I went to the bathroom. Except the ladies bathroom in the lobby had a giant sign “SEQUINED DRESSES ONLY” and there was a huge wait of like 10 girls in those poofy-ass prom-dress type things? With their hair and makeup done. So I’m looking around and I see a sign for another bathroom. And then all of a sudden there’s a small group of people and I trying to find this other bathroom for people NOT in sequined dresses and we’re in like... the closed off section of the venue? It was like a huge area deal type, btw. And the lights are off and we’re all like sneaking towards this ladies bathroom around the corner and down like three halls. And then Right past bathroom I notice a little alley and it’s literally like two steps back to the glitter bathroom and lit up yet we took the dark closed off path there. Anyway. So I’m heading back to the stage area, didn’t actually use the bathroom, just found it and walked past it. It’s all elevated seating and now the arena is like a small play type theatre? So I’m looking trying to find my sister. I spot her, the way from the door on the wall would be up the side stairs, across the back, then down the to where our row is. and there’s like random people from high school like just up and walking around everywhere. There’s something/someone blocking that that way so I opt to go across the front then up... except there’s a lady in a wheel chair and I literally like start climbing over her like a fucking monkey and she’s like ‘ahem....?’ and I’m like ‘oh omg so sorry’ and I start to go the other way except the lady she’s with is like ‘no no climb over her’ SO I DO?! and I make it back to my seat.... finally. And I’m explaining to my sister about all the bogus Hot Topic shit in the lobby and all I want is a AFI concert tee with the dates on the back and we’re hemming and hawwing over it and then like all of the sudden the big screen behind the stage starts playing an episode of Grey’s Anatomy because it’s been SOOO fucking long getting the next band out. And apparently the next band is Cane Hill and NOT Slipknot like we thought. My phone is broken and at home so I ask my sister if I can take pictures on her’s instead when they come out and I guess she agrees and I’m thinking and getting sad about all the pictures from Disrupt when I saw The Used and how they’re all lost now on my broken phone (except irl i downloaded them thank god before it broke) and am wondering how i’m going to get them off her phone to me.  

Then my alarm went off.

Someone please dream analysis the fuck of this. 

Also sidenote, I woke up and I am wearing my exact dream outfit down to the shiny toed flats to work today lmao.

Please and thank!

So about the Dreamcar show

Y’all, so much happened. 

In bullet form for readability/it’s 1AM and I have work in the morning because I’m an adult.

Pre-show

I got there like 45 minutes after doors opened because my days of lining up mega early for shows are over.

That’s a lie

I just had to work til 5 and it was raining all day so I didn’t wanna sit outside anyway

So I walk into the venue, and??? It’s so empty??? Like what the fuck??? I went to the bathroom, which is wayyyyyyy at the back and in the basement, I hate getting to it during packed shows because you CAN’T MOVE. That venue is not safe and there are not enough exits BUT ANYWAY.

When I got back upstairs I went to the merch table and bought a tank top

Warning if you see Dreamcar: it fits weirdly small???

But I love it

Also they didn’t do that thing I hate when bands jack up prices by like $10 because of the conversion rate.

It’s $35 online and I paid $35CAD.

Joke’s on you that’s only like $20US

Help our dollar is a fucking joke

Then I went to the stage and despite the opening band staring imminently I was only two people from the front???

Superet

I mean, I don’t know if I would go seeking out their music but they were really fun and had fantastic energy. The lead singer kept making eye contact with people in the front and it was slightly awkward but also endearing as hell. I kept getting distracted during their set because I decided most of the rest of the band looked like other people

The keyboard player looked so much like Jamison Covington from JamisonParker

Does anyone remember them? They had like one album in maybe 2005 and I loved it

But it’s so emo

Listening to it now is like??? Was my world ever that dark? Damn son.

The drummer looks just like a dude I went to high school with and played in Concert Band with

But it is not.

That dude is a DJ now though

The percussionist lowkey reminded me of what’s his face from Cabin in the Woods... the stoner one. 

Cabin in the Woods is a great movie

Dreamcar

I mean is it any surprise that they’re great live? All of them have been performing for so long so like... they know their shit. But there’s a lot happening all at once, it seems like. You’ll maybe see when I post my video of All Of The Dead Girls once it finishes uploading to YouTube. But I guess it’s partly because Tom, Adrian & Tony are so used to playing together but sometimes it’s like there’s their show happening and then there’s Davey being Davey around them and it is a lot.

Someone yelled “You’re good!” between songs and it got a good laugh out of Davey who was like, “I’m glad you think so???”

Like what an odd thing to say???

The other three have mastered the art of keeping Davey on topic

If he sounds like he’s about to go off on a tangent just start the next song it’s great

“If only that would work during interviews,” I’m sure Jade/Adam/Hunter is muttering to himself in the distance

They covered Don’t Change and it was amazing, I wanted to get a video of it but it was such a different (more upbeat) version I didn’t even clue in on time lmao

During the bridge of Kill For Candy, Davey and I shared a moment during the first “Let it dissolve on your tongue” and it was magical

Post-show

It rained literally the entire day here, so when I walked out of the venue and it wasn’t raining anymore I thought, y’know what, I’m gonna stick around for a bit, try my luck meeting these dudes. But only until 11:00. That’s my cut-off. I’m a responsible adult.

This is a lie

It’s cute that I believed it though

Also it was still raining but it was a very fine mist so it wasn’t that bad

This is also a lie it was terrible and my hair went to shit

There were like 25 people waiting, at the peak of it. After about an hour, some people had left so there were maybe 20 or so. Not bad at all, right? About half of those were No Doubt faithful, who seemed to be a very tight-knit group who all knew each other from various No Doubt events and trips and stuff. They were super nice and -- bonus! -- most of them couldn’t be fucked about Davey. But we did talk about the show, how awesome it was, and the fact that Davey is secretly jacked was mentioned -- not even by me!!! And most of them agreed that a) it should’ve been a longer set and b) they should’ve covered some No Doubt because Davey singing I’m Just A Girl would be delightful.

Somebody made the joke that the guys snuck out past all of us and were probably on the public transit bus that went by

“But then they’ll get to Sherbourne station and get shanked.”

If you know Toronto at all you know that’s probably true

If there was anywhere in this city where a repeat of “what are you gonna do about it, pink shoes?” was gonna go down it’s motherfucking Sherbourne St.

Finally at around 11:15 or so, security & tour management came out and set up a barricade by the bus, telling us all to line up in twos. Ok cool. We did. 

Tom came out first and the orderly line went to shit because he just like, walked right out to chat and take pictures and sign autographs. I was trying to stay near the barricade and missed him entirely. Oops. 

Tony came out next and did the same thing, but actually on my side. I got a picture with him and he signed my ticket.

 Adrian stayed by the barricade but was very chatty with people. I also got a picture and autograph from him.

All of them seemed to like, know some of the No Doubt die hards who were there and I think that’s so cool, they’ve always seemed like this huge, untouchable band to me but they’re so cool with their fans

All three of them got on the bus, and because of the No Doubt fans stepping back I was pretty much at the barricade. The tour manager came back and asked who we were still waiting for so of course were like, obviously Davey. So then came the new instructions:

Single file lineup please (I ended up third, so cool)

No photos

This is 900% ok I’ve seen my pictures with Adrian & Tony I know what I look like

I’ve been standing in the rain for two hours I look like I live in garbage and a family of raccoons have been living in my hair for the winter

No hugs either

Also fine because who honestly wants to hug a bunch of damp strangers???

Just a chat, an autograph, and keep the line moving

Awesome, we’re grown ups, we can do this

Oh shit now I have to think of something to say

So then Davey appears in that long hoodie/cloak... thing... which I SHOULD have asked where he got it because I love it but obviously I think of things to say after the fact, so whatever. He was really chatty and smiling at everyone and it was so nice. The first two conversations happened as I was trying not to awkwardly stare at Davey. I’m not gonna be the one who makes it weird.

This is also a lie

I don’t think I made it weird though

When it was my turn, he asked how I was and I said “amazing” because I was, and the teenage version of me fainted then and there, she was not at all prepared for this moment.

I might’ve rattled off something about how his music, whether AFI or Blaqk Audio or Dreamcar or any other project, has been such a big part of my life for almost half my life now, so thank you and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without it

I don’t think that was weird

It was true, too

“Thank you, I hope that’s a good thing.”

I mean.

Obviously.

So I said it’s absolutely a good thing, thanked him again, and mentioned I would see him in like 3 weeks (!!!) for some AFI shows. 

‘Cause y’know. He’ll remember.

And then I walked back to the subway and went home, 18-year-old me screaming internally.

tl;dr I saw Dreamcar, they were amazing, I finally met Davey Havok after 15 years.

How was AFI?

Oh man, it was honestly a life changing experience. So the concertstarted at 9 pm and me and my awesome friend got there at 12 pm. Oh and did Imention that it was fucking hot?? It was literally 110 degrees, and if you knowanything about Kansas you know that the majority of the heat was humidity. Butluckily when we got to The Midland (which is where they played) we found thislittle crook of shade so we put all our stuff in that and camped out. While wewere sitting there it came out that we were the first people (and almost only)who were actually from Kansas. I spoke to a couple of AFI fans while we werewaiting for hours and most of them were pretty cool and really nice. While wewere waiting I went across the street to the really fancy grocery store to goto the bathroom. I go in and I end up talking to this neat dude whose like anuber fan and has been to almost all the shows on The Blood Tour. While we weretalking it got brought up that apparently Circa Survive wasn’t playing thatnight. Which honestly I was kinda glad about cuz I didn’t really know anythingabout Circa Survive. But I felt so shitty because my friend came with me cuzshe’s a Circa fan! Luckily when I told her she wasn’t upset or anything andsaid she would’ve came anyway. Apparently a lot of other people in line alsodidn’t know that Circa wasn’t playing, but no one was mad about it (I guess alot of people just assumed that because all the other shows on this leg of thetour are with Circa Survive, but I guess KC was the exception.) I was also a little worried because people kept saying thatthe tour shirt didn’t even mention the KC stop on it, but luckily they werewrong! (it doesn’t have the right date on there, but it definitely says KC). Sofinally at about 8 something they start letting us in, and by that point myfriend got like a pinched nerve from sitting on the ground for too long, so sheended up just sitting in the lobby for the concert (which honestly may havebeen a good thing because she probably would’ve gotten crushed in that crowd).I immediately go to the merch table and while I’m buying my shirts my awesomefriend goes and saves me a spot so close to the stage. I get to the spot andthe girl standing right next to me is wearing the same shirt as me! (which isfunny because we were the ONLY people there wearing that shirt. We both knew itwas an older AFI tour shirt, but we both couldn’t remember exactly where we gotit from haha.) She was pretty cool and so was her husband. Before the concertstarted, she leans over and goes, “so you’re gay and I gotta ask… Do you thinkDavey and Jade are gay?? I always thought they were in a relationship.” And I’mjust like ha well they’ve never really straight out said what they’resexualities are, but I know that Davey’s really never been the one for labels.I honestly don’t think they’re 100% straight, but I can’t really say if they’regay or not since I don’t personally know them. (Granted tho they’ve been in aband for over 20 years and if you haven’t been at least a little gay with yourbest friend, then you’re not really best friends haha.) So finally the concert starts and Citizen comes out. Now I had only really heard ofCitizen by their lyric pics on tumblr and a couple of seconds of some of theirsongs. But I gotta say, I was pretty impressed. Besides the fact that there wasn’t a good mic check before playing, I thought it went pretty well. Icould hear all the instruments clearly and that whole band was really puttingtheir all in. It was a little awkward since no one really knew their songs sowe just kinda stood there and listened and clapped. After that performance I’lldefinitely be checking out more of their music. I really wanted to saysomething to them after the concert, but they pretty much grabbed all theirequipment and bolted (they probably just wanted to get back on the road asap.)After Citizen it was about 20 minutes before it finally happened. Adam came outfirst and got set up, then Hunter, then Davey, and Jade. Where I was standing Igot an amazing view of Davey and Jade. Sadly tho I wasn’t able to get any pics of Hunter because he was on theleft side of the stage, and I couldn’t get any pics of Adam during the concertbecause of the way his drums were lit up you couldn’t see his face. They startoff playing Girl’s not Grey and it literally felt like I was seeing the face ofGod. Davey locked eyes with me for like 1 second and then he reached his handright across in front of me and I brushed it with my fingertips because I wasnervous and didn’t want to be pushy. And let me tell you about this setlistholy fuck. So like I said they started off with Girl’s not Grey, then they wentinto Love like Winter (which was the first song I ever heard by them so thatwas awesome), then So Beneath You, then 17 Crimes (which is one of my favsongs/music videos), and then Malleus Maleficarum (which is when everyone losttheir fucking minds and started shoving like crazy), then Get Hurt (which wasthe first time they ever played that live!), then Lost Souls (which is whenDavey stepped into the crowd and I FUCKING TOUCHED HIS BACK HE WAS RIGHT THEREIN FRONT OF ME AND I HAVE VIDEO PROOF), then The Leaving Song pt. 1, then HeWho Laughs Last, then Feed From the Floor (which is also one of my fav songsand I may base my AFI tattoo that I’m gonna get after), then Days of thePhoenix (I could watch them play this song over and over until I die), then IHope You Suffer (which honestly I never really connected with this song before,but watching them perform it live holy shit, there was just so much passion andit literally felt like Davey was singing the song into my soul), then SnowCats, then Miss Murder, then Paper Airplanes, and then Silver and Cold (which wow, it just really struck a chord with me).Davey also sang most of Jack the Ripper (one of my all time favorites)completely a capella! (I also got some of that on video.) During the concert Ialmost lost my balance a couple of times cuz during certain songs people fromthe very back would start pushing and it pushed me into the first two rows ofpeople (which I said sorry about every time it happened just like the girlsbehind apologized when it happened.) Oh and also during the last two songs Igot wedged between these guys that were like a foot taller than me. The guy onthe right wasn’t really excited and just kinda stood there and nodded his head.The guy on the left wore a bright blue shirt (he was in the video that I took ofDavey in the crowd) and he was drunk and a complete asshole. Apparently duringthe rest of the concert he was pushing and shoving the girls that were behindme and made his way next to me. then during the last two songs he startsshoving me to the right (when literally no one else was shoving), I thought itwas an accident at first. Then I realize he’s clearly trying to bump me out ofmy spot, so I start shoving back. Then HE LITERALLY STARTS SHOVING HIS ASS INMY FACE. I had it, I was in the heat all day and about to pass out from toomuch excitement and I was not gonna put up with this shit, so I shoved him realhard and yelled, “DUDE WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?? YOU’RE SHOVING YOUR ASSIN MY GODDAMN FACE I’M A LITTLE GUY JUST LET ME STAND HERE PLEASE”. He fucking turns tome and says, “um you’re being a little rude.” So I was like haha dude whateverand wedged myself in front of him so that I could enjoy the last song. Afterthe concert like six people behind me came up to me to tell me that that drunk guy was an asshole and thanked me for actuallypushing him back and calling him out (they were all my height and the dude was like 6 foot something). A partof me worries that Davey just saw me pushing and thought that I was the assholeor something, but Jade was right there too and we talked after the show and hewas so nice. So after the concert ended me and my friend went out by the tourbus to wait and see if the band would come out. Adam came out first and theperson next to me asked for a pic and he said, “well actually I have a coupleof stuff I need to get. But I’ll be back, is that okay?” Like wow what a sweetguy. So eventually he comes back out and I’m starstruck. I shake his hand andtell him how weird it is to see one of the people I’ve been idolizing since 5thgrade so I’ll try to talk like a normal human being as much as possible, and hesmiles and says he’s happy I had a great time at my first AFI concert. Then Igave him this letter I wrote to the band and I tell him I didn’t want to makeit out to any specific person in the band because you’re all important. I tellhim how much I love AFI and that I don’t ever want him to feel like fans don’tappreciate him because the band wouldn’t be the same without all you guys. Andhe was like aww thanks. And he took a selfie with me and after I took it he waslike, “wait I didn’t see where to look, was I looking at the camera?” so I pullup the picture and he goes oh okay cool I did it right (what a nerd I lovehim). He also autographed this AFI postcard thing that I got with a pendant andThe Blood Album at Bestbuy. And then Jade comes out. And at this point I letsome guy borrow the sharpie I brought and I was scared that I wasn’t gonna haveit when Jade came up, but luckily he had his own (it was a gold sharpie aw). Ishake his hand and tell him how much I enjoyed the concert and how much Iappreciate him and the rest of the band and how it wouldn’t be the same withoutthem there. And he goes, “well you’re favorite band is kinda like yourchildren, you gotta love em all equally” and I’m like ha yea, I have sixsiblings tho.. and he’s like, “oh well siblings are a different thing, we allhave a favorite haha”. And then I told them that this was my first AFI show, buthopefully not my last unless you guys break up tomorrow. And he laughs andgoes, “well that is a possibility. Davey just made a really stinky sandwich, sothat might lead into something.” What a funny guy! We take a selfie and then Iask if he could also sign my card. Now this was pretty funny, when I handed himthe card he flipped it over, then he flipped it back over again and lookeda little confused. He goes, “I don’t recognize this at all, where did you getthis??” and I told him and he looks at my pendant and goes “wow you’re the onlyone here that I’ve seen wearing that, cool!” I just thought it was so funnythat he didn’t recognize that card at all. Then Davey came out and he waswearing that really cute black hood thing he’s been wearing a lot ininterviews, and as he walks by these two drunk girls scream demanding apicture. And he was nice about it and goes No pictures, but I’ll be out later.We waited like an hour and half after that and he was a no show, but honestly Ithink he was just drained (he may have came out after we left but I doubt it.)This concert was a real life changing experience. When I got home from theconcert my grandma started yelling at me and I realized; I accomplished one ofmy childhood dreams, so I’m not gonna put up with shit anymore. I feel like amore complete person. I feel like now I really only want to use my energy onthings that are important to me, and getting yelled at for no reason isn’t oneof them. And also since I wasn’t able to get a pic with Hunter or an autograph,and I wasn’t able to get an autograph from Davey (I don’t expect to get a picwith him since I’ve only seen like one pic of him and a fan on this tour) thisjust means I’ll have to go to another AFI concert! I can’t wait!

Hello I've just woken up only to be disappointed by the fact that I've had a dream and it wasn't real. Again. I dreamt I was at an AFI concert, they were playing in like, the stock area of a shopping centre. Ya know, "in the back", where they keep all the good shit. The shop peeps had moved all the massive steel shelves and shit out, and put in these colourful light installations and anyway, AFI starts playing, open with God Called in Sick Today, into Aurelia (I know right, what a weird set choice) and oh my god it was the best thing ever. Also also there were only seven other people there. One of them was Beez, my dad was also there (weirdly, as he haaaates anything and I listen to) and everyone else was just like, filler people. Oh but I do remember one of them being the actual store manager, so there's that. But yeah. After the set (which ended with Feed from the Floor and Paper Airplanes) the band walked around thanking everyone, and I got to talk to Hunter, who thanked me for digging the new songs so much, and Davey Havok, and I asked him about merch and he was like, absolutely, and takes one of the posters down from the wall and gives it to me, and gives me a shirt, neither of which he'd let me pay for. And yeah. I left the venue and walked back outside and woke up. And here I am, legitimately disappointed, again, that my dream nonsense was not real. Like legit the first thing I did was WHERES THE POSTER AM I WEARING THE SHIRT PLEASE GOD. And you know I wasn't holding it, and that I'm not wearing the shirt. Uuuuugh why I gotta be teased by my own brain like this.

Formative gig-going years and some Nine Inch Nails rambles

This concert footage (and impressive audio) from 1999 is untouchable. NIN played two nights at Brixton Academy in November that year on a short European tour, and looking back I often think that it’s a ‘regret’ that I didn’t make the effort to go. I was very keen on The Fragile, which had come out a couple of months earlier, but hadn’t given any of their earlier releases any sort of attention apart from the videos on MTV and 1999 was the year I began going to gigs independently (aged 16). Indeed, my first was Ben Folds Five (no laughs here please) in May that year, two nights after Fugazi played in the same room (d’oh - but the appreciation of Fugazi came later and I did see them in ‘02 #digress). A week later I had a very exciting mosh to Static-X, Spineshank and System of a Down, again in the same room - Manchester University’s Main Debating Hall (now Academy 2), and the night after that Soulfly set up on the same stage with Kill II This and Medulla Nocte. Later that year I had a riot stage-diving to ‘A’ and Dog Eat Dog in the Hop and Grape bar (now Academy 3) and then Bloodhoung Gang that same month. These would have been one month prior to the NIN gigs, which I saw advertised in the pages of Kerrang, but I wasn’t ready for it. I can look back at the footage from the Fragility Tours and appreciate it, but at the time most of the experience would have been lost on me. Turns out Reznor was heading down another massive spiral. The following summer they were booked to play the London Docklands Arena as part of the ‘Lost Weekend’ but I wasn’t into that idea. Arena gigs were not for me. Friends of mine were driven down by one of their fathers and when they got there they found that NIN had cancelled their performance. Their excuse was that the drummer was too ill to play, but it came out later that Reznor had had a massive overdose and was hospitalised. After that he went on a lengthy break before the Live: With Teeth gigs.

I went to the two Manchester Apollo gigs in 2005. I was finally ready. I had picked up The Downward Spiral on a Florida holiday in 2001 (when I went to the Warped Tour, got mid-afternoon sunstroke during a heavy mosh to AFI and passed out in a water tent to then miss Pennywise’s set) and was well into With Teeth. I was finally ready. It was July and sweltering. For the first night I had a seated ticket on the balcony and remember very little apart from sweating and fidgeting, waiting for the next night because I knew I had a ticket for downstairs. It was just as hot the following evening and when they opened with ‘Terrible Lie’ I was swallowed up down the front and had a very, very enjoyable evening. I even moved enough to pick up a t-shirt from the merch table.

No Regrets. Ever.
