I'd heard some amazing bands in my day, but man, these guys were the shit. I've never felt the kind of rush I felt when these guys played.
I mean, damn bro, they like, totally shredded my brain. I can't even remember what all went on last night, i just know that i have to see them again.
They got some of the most loyal fans, and i can see what the deal is. i , like, cant even start to tell you what they sounded like. it changed my life, man...
This wasn't the first time I'd heard this about this band. I've been following them all over the world, and each show, the aftermath, was filled with people like this. It's not that the fans were loyal, and, oddly, nobody could explain what kind or the sound of music that they played, but everyone agreed that once you heard them, your life would change. I had no doubt of this.
They never sold albums, and you couldn't find their music online. There wasn't, to my knowledge, a single recording of them anywhere, not even bootlegs. I've offered, and tried to get some recordings of them to no avail. The devices always turn out faulty and never pick up a single note.
I've not been to one of their concerts, before tonight. i finally got a ticket, from someone who wasn't able to go. I'd lucked out when i went to visit them at the hospital, and found a ticket in their pocket. they wouldn't be needing it anymore. oh, they weren't dying, but the were going to be out for a few days. Still, often, something like that wouldn't even stop someone who has a ticket. I know of at least a few cases where people who'd been in worse shape still demanded to go. There was a pull about the music that couldn't be denied. And tonight, i would finally get to hear it.
I wasn't worried too much. More excited than anything, really. I wanted to see for myself what all the fuss was about, and finally I'd be able to go. Sadly, i was only able to get the one ticket,but still, I'd have a story I'm sure. If the music really was as good as i was told, then I'm sure the show was going to be something to remember.
I got ready early, knowing there's be traffic. I was one of the first people to arrive, hoping i could get a glimpse of the band, or , if extremely lucky, meet them. But, no such luck. they'd already been inside and setting up. I wasn't allowed in until ten minutes before the show, so I milled about with the rest of the fans. it was odd, though. they kept those who were newcomers away from those who'd already seen the show. I got around it though, and slid in with the vets. they didn't talk much, not as much as the excited new ones did. It was a little creepy, how they all just kind of stared at the door till they were herded in. they got seated first, and for some reason all their seats were towards the back. I guess the band wanted the newbies to get the best seats.
