meh, been a while since i've updated, thanks too my summer coursework and various other real life issues (and cause i've been procratinating)
Me n GG (
sheikanfire )went to see the Goo Goo Dolls live at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, even though I thought we wouldn't able to go cause the post office screwed up with deliering the tickets (and not for the first either ¬¬ )
They. Were. Amazing.
This was the first time I've ever heard them live and they were absolutely briilant! I think what really made this special for me was that the first song they played was "Long way Down" and this is the very first song I ever heard by them and the one that got me into them. They are also the first band I was ever into, so this really made the gig special for me. I'm sure GG and Loz (who was also at the gig, though we never saw her) say the same cause they also got into the Goo Goo Dolls after hearing that song.
It was so fun, cause the entire place was packed out, and the upper circle turned into a mini mosh pit (at least me n GG were moshing, I think everyone was staring at us like we were crazy XD )
They also played Slide, Black Balloon (which was another one I really wanted them to play), Lucky Star, Cuz you're gone, Slave Girl, Name, Stay with You, Let love in, Feel the silence, Become, All eyes on me, Broadway and of course, Iris.
Iris was..amazing. I swear the audience made as much noise as the band, and we were singing more than Jhonny, who pretty much just started us off and we sung the rest. It was brilliant.
and they also performed the song they wrote for the film Transformers, and it was really funny, cause Jhonny was introducing it and he said "so we were shown part of the film and it was all these robots from outer space smashing up eachother and the world and then they say "can you write the love song?"" It
cracked me up XD
So yeah the gig was awesome. Loz, if you read this, be sure to tell me what you thought! ^^
