A Quote and A Concert!

“Your favorite band isn’t your favorite just because of the music. Yes, that has a huge part, but it’s also their personalities. It’s that finding out they’re not coming to your city ruins your week. If you’ve seen them live, you can name all the dates by heart. It’s the fact that their videos can make you smile with tears running down your face. You can make fun of them like you would with a best friend. You do things such as mowing the lawn to buy a show ticket, a CD, a shirt, a DVD. You fall in love with their personalities. You cry because you’re so proud of them. You will defend them with your life. You love their crew as you love the band. They’re the reason you know some of your best friends.”- Alex Gaskarth
                This quote, amongst many other Alex Gaskarth quotes is truly fitting for people like me. People who want nothing more than to listen to music and see bands. I live for concerts and I live for new music from all the bands I love.
I would like to think that I have been to a lot of concerts, not all of them I am proud of, but it’s whatever. I have seen Aerosmith and Mötley Crüe when I was eight years old, then it was a while before I went to another concert. When I was fourteen in the summer of 2012 I won tickets to go see Big Time Rush with Cody Simpson and Rachel Crow. That winter I went to Kissmas Bash which is a big arena concert that a radio station in Buffalo hosts. Phillip Phillips, Megan&Liz, Austin Mahone, Owl City, Boys Like Girls, Sean Kingston and Ed Sheeran performed so that was kind of cool. Then, in the summer of 2013, the unthinkable happened; I went to a One Direction concert. That was one of the best times of my life to be honest. 5 Seconds of Summer was their opening act and I was already a huge fan of them so that was the best, then One Direction came out and I died and went to heaven. I’m proud of myself, I only cried four times.
