Ah, love! Thank you Nightwish for not being dead to me, thank you for making beautiful music once more and for giving me the chills once more. After Storytime (which I absolutely detested), I expected nothing good from this album, so now that I listen to it, I’m not head …

I’ve always been fascinated with Opeth, but I could never listen to it unless I was in the certain mood. The alternation between the aggressive growling was too tough to swallow when I was feeling tired and the atmospheric and burdening calmer parts was tough to swallow when I was …

I saw Bon Jovi the other night and it was soooo much fun, I didn’t actually expect it to be so awesome. Everyone was singing and dancing and he sung for 3 hours. The encore alone lasted almost an hour, for crying out loud! And at the end he sang …

I have no idea what to say about Metrock because they barely got up on stage and they came down immediately. They seemed like a nice enough band, but I didn’t get a chance to get into it (it was shorter even then the usual opening acts). After just seeing Trooper a month ago …

After years of waiting for them, I finally saw Blind Guardian and it was sooo awesome! The guys really enjoyed themselves and they were so much fun to watch and listen to, it was a great concert. The crowd was amazing, we chanted and sung and clapped and cheered throughout …

And I saw Epica… Man Simone sucks! I never saw her as an outstanding singer, but last night she couldn’t carry a tune for the life of her! Her operatic voice was half decent, but her chest voice sounded terrible. Hoarse, strained… the long high notes she was trying to …

What started out as a birthday gift for my boyfriend turned out to be a fantastic night, better then I could’ve expected. Even though I adore his voice, I’m not very familiar with Tim Ripper’s career outside of Judas Priest and Iced Earth, so I probably wouldn’t have gone to …
