Well, because music taste is really relative and subjective, I don't really expect anyone to actually like the music I like. It's not really popular, except in its genre. This music I like its often called Power Metal, or Melodic Metal, wich is a variant of Metal in general. It's mainly played with one guitar (wich plays both rythmic and lead parts, but in live shows are played by two guitarists), drums, keyboards, bass, and a singer... Kinda like any other music style, haha... But its really normal that some bands adds some orchestal arrangements to their music, like Rhapsody of Fire, Epica, or Haggard, for example.
Well, going straight to the point, and trying not to get you too bored reading this, There're actually two concerts that carry the title of being the most Awesome concerts i've ever been.
The first one, was in October 24 of 2010, At the Caupolican Theatre. Sonata Arctica has always been one of my favourite bands. I just love their music filled with melody, and really impresive shreding skills with both keyboards and guitars. I was really excited about it when I first heard of, mainly because I wasn't able to go to their last concert in 2008, I think o.o
They opened the concert with an instrumental theme called "Everything fades to gray", played by a back track, and the band members appeared one by one. Everyone was shouting with excitement, including me. At the time I was with my ex-girlfriend (We broke up the same day, at the morning, so, yeah, It was really awkard as you can image), two of my best friends ever, which one was with her boyfriend, and the other came all the way along from Viña del Mar.
The First theme they played was "Flag in the Ground", wich has a really beautiful melody, with strong guitars and fast drums. Well, I don't want to bore you anymore, so I'll try to skip the rest of the concert and say IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! I've never been so happy, tired because of the headbanging, and "vocal screwed" in my entire life...
Well, Despite broking up with my girlfriend (I wasn't really shocked, as I thought I would be), and the fact it was the end of the semester (lots and lots of tests, pain and suffering), those were among the most Awesome moments I've ever had... The levels of joyness were unlimited, And I'm looking forward to have another experience like that... :)
So... Take Care, and See ya later ! :)
Sr!!! I think, you should do your own concert
ReplyDeletei think that you should't take your girlfriends to the gigs
ReplyDeletethat's a joke! things of destiny...
Given your musical tastes, maybe you should listen to The Man Who Sold the World, Bowie's 1971 Rock album. However it might sound a little dated. Bowie's sound is often very pop try Station to Station, Heroes, Scary Monsters, or Reality.. Then again, Diamond Dogs, Aladdin Sane and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars are al great albums. You could also listen to Hunky Dory.
ReplyDeleteI remember the concert of rhapsody! jajaja we come back of a land trip of conservation, it was a crusade!
ReplyDeleteThis is too long, but I know that you enjoyed it, I still remember your face the day after, so I believe everything that you write :)
