im going to be going to their concert here in Toledo on Tuesday, and have never been to a concert of theirs or any band similar. what should I expect? are there gonna be moshers or mostly just those people mostly standing around getting into the music?
i expect to be um... yea, and just want to chill there and get myself deep into the music, as i've heard they put on amazing shows with long instrumental periods between actually singing. am I going to be bothered by the scenesters that want to mosh to anything? I'm listening to some stuff from the openers and they sound like mosh-worthy bands, but I'm hoping it doesn't happen much during Coheed.
im not a mosher, if you can't tell... and while it doesn't bother me at harder concerts, a Coheed concert seems like one where its best to be mellowed out to truely enjoy the deepness of the lyrics.
anyone?
edit:
oi, what sucks is one of the opening acts is a damned hardcore metalcore band that, unlike acts such as Atreyu and Underoath (both of which I happen to like) that sing, this one is pure scream... no fun. maybe someone has heard of them: Dillinger Escape Plan. yea, i hate them now. lol that will be the most dreadful part of the concert. hard to imagine them opening for an indie act like Coheed and Cambria.
update:
as for the show itself: damn it was great. i liked 3, chiodos was decent but on the verge of not that great, and dillenger got annoying because of the lead singer, i got to drowning him out and listening to the band itself.
coheed, however.... i'd have to say that was the best show I have ever been too. claudio was brilliant as always, however the drummer and bassist (mike, i think) were not present, in favor of some replacements, due to personal reasons (and claudio even went on to say the future of the band is unknown at the moment, but i need burning star IV vol 2 before they quit, but I also want another album after that so I can hear original lyrics that aren't attached to an overall story)...
welcome home came on, at this point the crowd begging for it as well.. and i got depressed, because as mentioned earlier, it was the second to last song. it's an amazing song, my favorite (along with the final cut), and they played it amazingly, the crowd loved it too. after that was the final cut, with about 4 minutes of vocals and 10 minutes or so of claudio and the bassist going at it. gave me an audiogasm me thinks lmao... then it was over, and i could have listened to them play it for an hour... favorite moments of the final cut were when claudio played above and behind his head, and when he brought out a violen bow and played the guitar using it... damn it sounded beautiful.
that concert will be in my head for a long time.
now my next concert i have to go to to complete my goal in life is seeing mars volta...
