Awesome-ness

Opeth were awesome! That's all that can be said. Yesterday was the third time I've seen them this year, and they were amazing again!

Unfortunately there were some drawbacks, namely, the crowd. Now, I don't mean all of the crowd, just ... a select few .... who all seemed to be standing around us.

There were the two annoying girls standing behind me who chattered constantly aboot the most mundane rubbish whilst the lead singer was cracking jokes. I turned and looked at them once or twice and they shut up, but continued on soon afterwards (apparently I can give dirty looks, I personally don't think I can).

Then, the ravers. A gang of aboot five guys and two girls. They were completely out of place, bar the girls, who seemed to be the only reason the guys went to an Opeth gig in the first place. Seriously, not a clue had they! On one occasion, I had cleared myself a nice wee headbanging space (apparently I headbang using the "thrust", meh, it stops my neck from falling to bits the next day, and it's not antisocial if I have my space..), when one of those buffoons decided to crowd in on it! No bother, I carried on knowing that he'd clear me some room in a bit, when I saw a fist coming towards me! Instant taekwondo guard up and a swift right straight for his ribs, but I pulled it because either he was just locking fists with his buddy, or his buddy had stopped him from punching me. I'm still not sure which, but after that he cleared a space for me and I carried on with my guard up. After this, one of the couples had the *nerve* to start necking during Windowpane! Honestly, that is a beautiful song, very melodic and gentle and just ... beautiful! Yet all I could see during it was two people sucking the faces off of each other! If I had a guy I was dating in an Opeth gig, and he did that to me, he'd be punched! Later on, that chick fecked off to the jacks (with waaaaaaay more hand gestures than necessary) and left yer man by himself. He started doing his own little rave dance, poking his finger in the air and moving his hands in a zig-zag manner...dude! That shit's gonna get you killed at a metal gig!

Long story short...I love Ivan :D In 3 mins, between the pair of us, all those annoying little shits got taken out! I turned to Ivan, we bounced off of each other, I bounced off of eof and used the momentum to bounce into the annoying loud-mouths behind me. According to eof, I didn't hit him all that hard, but I sent those two girls flying! >:) In this space of time, Ivan had crashed through the couple in front of him and a few of their friends, so I galloped after him, crashing into the couple on the left and the guy who'd tried to punch me and sending them flying. Then we were right past and had a straight line through to the center and the pit.

It was magical!
