Teacher leave those kids alone...

So, music is probably the most powerful thing in the universe. It contains so much energy, so much emotion and so much fucking radness, it's unbelievable. What's even more powerful is the energy that comes from a concert. The music booming in your ears, the people's excitement flowing high all around, the anticipation of your favorite band playing right in front of you, you stand, your legs going numb because even the ground is trembling in unison with the bass pounding and the guitar's melody carrying out everywhere. Plus the singer's always pumping you up, singing, screaming, shouting, urging you to do the same.

There's always that one concert that you can't ever get out of your head. My two most memorable so far being Billy Talent and Hedley. Billy Talent was a while back but I can still remember my legs feeling like they were gonna fall off after the concert was over for having spent hours on end standing and screaming and pounding my fist in the air. And with Hedley, it was just...I don't really know how to explain it, I've never felt so free in my life as when I went to the Hedley concert, as korny as that may sound. BUT. In a little over a week, the punk/pop melody of a band that's been around for over a decade (if you take away the hiatus) will be ringing in my ears. My ultimate favorite band for many years now, Blink-182, in Montreal. Oh yeah. And then at the end of the month, coming to Sudbury Summerfest 2009! Our Lady Peace!. August is always such a good month. So many concerts, so many bands, so much positive energy everywhere. I love it. For year, I've been going to these music festivals every summer. Since I was little, I used to go to the North BayHeritage Festival where I've seen the likes of Amanda Marshall, Treble Charger, David Usher, Honeymoon Suite, etc...and just last year they changed it to North Rocks The Bay where we saw Hedley and a bunch of local bands. Then I started going to the Sudbury Summerfest. Just last year, I saw Illscarlett, State of Shock, Finger Eleven ( watch the video ), Low Level Flight and unfortunately, Kardinal Offishall ( not a big fan of rap but it was that or country and my sister enjoyed it ). It's just so pleasant.

If anybody ever reads this, what are some of the bands you've seen live before that you enjoyed, whether they be famous or just locally known and how was the experience, what do you remember most about it? If you've never been to a concert, who would you like to go see and why?

I'll keep you posted as to how well the concerts go. I'll probably also post pictures of them as well as of the merch I get :).

Also, don't forget to watch the vid. It's Finger Eleven doing some Pink Floyd (Another Brick In The Wall) and getting back into Paralyzer before ending the concert. Enjoy :P.
