I went to see Nevermore last night at the Red Room (which is also a nightclub). Which most likely explains the girl at the end of my story... but first I should start at the beginning.
The first band, Blackguard, was a pirate metal band from Montreal. I loved their look and enthusiasm. It was a shame they went first because everyone was still warming into what the night would become, and they seemed like a band that should have had a decent pit. Instead of what it is, the lead singer was running around the circle pit and trying his best to start one. I just really dug the band and their synchronized windmilling! <3
The second band was Warbringer, I liked their music, but they didn't have the same presence as the first band, and the pit was growing for them. One of the dude's in the band looked like a metal version of Dave Grohl.
After watching the first two acts, I thought, why not, yes why not try to see what happens if I get on the floor for Nevermore. We got pretty close to the front, but to the side more so I could put my sweater on the steps by the stage, and stay far from the pit... I thought I was in a safe spot... but I was wrong.
Tony hung on to my hips to protect the back of me from the pit which seemed to keep growing and as the set went on... throwing themselves into the people who manned the front lines. Also a guy to my left helped Tony protect me. For the most part I was able to hold my own, and I only got shifted over a couple times, for the most part I was close to where I started. At one point Tony decided to enter the pit. While he was gone I got elbowed in the head and on my shoulder (but the guy apologized) and I got hit by a guy's back in the nose when he threw himself back from the stage... but still this isn't what made me pissed off...
This really drunk smelly guy in a leather jacket was trying to push himself up front and kept trying to elbow his way up. Elbowing Tony tons until Elbowing me. But I was unwilling to give up my spot, so I pushed him away when he elbowed me a bit too hard. To which Tony also jumped to my defense, and pushed the guy away and for a moment I thought the guy was gonna punch Tony, but Tony was all "we don't need your elbow in the show" and the drunk guy calmed down a bit... but still threw himself around. But this still isn't what pissed me off...
No what made me pissed off was the encore. Nevermore was great! Everything was great!! I started thinking I could handle a Metal show then some dumb skank club rat looking girl decided to throw herself into my area from the steps. She kept putting her arm around people's necks from far away. One guy didn't seem to care until she nearly choked him because we all got pushed over by the pit. Then she tried clinging to this other guy who had pushed himself beside me, and he kept trying to shove her arm away so then she tried reaching further... and started trying to grab at the girl in front of me (which for some reason I felt compelled to protect) so I pulled the bitch's arm off the girl and yelled at her not to f**king touch her. Right after that the people from the pit threw themselves and everyone sorta got pushed over, so I probably rammed into her a bit hard. Thinking she was eventually going to leave me alone now... I went back to the show, when I felt a foot against my leg... she was actually trying to kick me but with her leg out from behind her, trying to be subtle... when she did it a second time I grabbed hold of her leg, without letting go, I twisted it a little... and then pushed her away. Tony hearing she kicked me elbowed her pretty hard and pushed her away from me (also imagine all sorts of profanities and name calling coming from my mouth) Then this HUGE guy (I am assuming after getting some sort of story from the skank) started protecting her... and when she complained about getting pushed by Tony assumed it was me and he fucking pushed me and this guy was over 6 feet... I am only 5'3'' he was a giant compared to me and the f***in' bastard shoved me... when he did, I tried to grab on to anything as to not fall over... and I accidentally grabbed his hair and in result, ended up pulling his hair... Then Tony pushed him back as did I. And Tony yelled out about "who the f*** kicks someone" After all this, the show finally ended. Tony grabbed my sweater as quick as he could and we were f**king out of there.
We went to sevvie to get a slurpee, I fixed my makeup and we headed to the station. I saw the guy who helped Tony to protect for the first part of Nevermore's set. I wanted to thank them if they were on our seabus, but unfortunately we missed that seabus :(
Once finally home. Ears were ringing. Ordered Andreas. Relaxed. Woke up with an uber stiff neck. As well as a sore nose when anything touches it.
But I survived, and I actually feel good letting everything I had out on that fucking bitch...
:)
I like metal shows, but I don't think I will be going to another one for awhile :P
