Inequilibrium

So Dragonforce.

If you asked me how the show was after the first half I would've said it was one of the greatest moments ever.

Unfortunately for me it went downhill.

Individually all the members are masters of their instruments. It's amazing how technically proficient they are. Unfortunately whoever writes their songs doesn't really know what a key change is, or how to alternate chord progressions in a manner which will keep a 7-9 minute song interesting the entire way through.

That's not saying I didn't have a lot of fun though. I just got pretty bored of the banter in between songs which was funny at first but became too much. After the other shows I've been to I became much more obsessed with the band and their music. Dragonforce however will just remain on my playlist for listening too when I want to cry over how pitiful my keyboard and guitar skills are.

Vanishing Point were pretty good. I will have to check out their album/myspace. I really like their song "Bring on the Rain".

Highlights:
Vanishing Point were awesome
The personalities of the members and their on stage antics
KEYBOARD SOLO OMG.
The guitar with hilarious stickers on it
"Drank 'Em All" shirt
"It won't suck itself" hat
"Myspace" hat
Touching/strumming Herman's guitar
Belgian Beer Cafe :D
The show up until the keyboard solo was great, that was the highlight for me then it just went downhill with all the gay jokes and unnecessarily shirtless lead singer and trying to be funnyness.

Lowlights:
It got a bit boring and repedetive in the second half. Ben called it "wanky".
Motley Crue/Bon Jovi Extras: big hair, stuck in the 80s lamers who were just standing there doing nothing all concert.
