So last night i went to see Fall Out Boy in Manchester!!!! i wasn't sure what to expect of them but they we're awesome!!!! Me and my friend travelled down yesterday and were stuck for 2 hours in traffic on the motorway because some oil tanker had caught fire...then at like 6pm were finally got past it and hit the gas to get to Manchester in time...
then we got lost on the way to the Apollo, so i had to run into this gas station and ask a really dodgy looking man directions...but this other man behind me said we were only round the corner from it and he directed us!!!
so we got to the apollo for like 7:15pm and got straight in, went to the bar for a bottle of water and then me and my friend slowly walked forward down towards the pit...shiny toy guns came on and the girl in the band was really good...she had an amazin voice...then at about 8:15pm cobra starship came on and they were actually better than i though they would be...the singer guy was really funny...he saw this person in the crowd with a doll of Joe Trohman and he thought it was him!!! he also got this girl up to sing the snakes on a plane song!!!
then it was about 9:35pm when Fall Out Boy came on and were all standing on this platform infront of Andy's drums...Pete and Joe came down the two ramps and Paddy came down these steps to the front and they played Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued!!!! it was awesome!!!! considering i didn't queue and was stuck in traffic for two hours, we got to like 10 rows (sort of) from the front!!! Pete Wentz was right in front of me!!!! he kept licking Joe and Paddy's guitars and his bass!!!!
i don't know how he wore a hoodie on stage...maybe it's a bass player thing because Mikey Way from MCR also wore a hoodie on stage when i saw then on The Black Parade tour!!! i was meltin in the mosh pit!!! i got soaked in water and beer!! lol!!!
When they played Sugar, We're Goin' Down, i phoned me friend Nicola and held my phone up for her to hear it!!!! Paddy's voice wa incredible!!!! i don't know how he does it!!!!
They played songs from Take This To Your Grave, From Under The Cork Tree and Infinity On High!!!! Before they played...Arms Race...Pete was saying how he love how the british swear and was fasinated by c*** and b****cks...then he said his fav. word was Goddamn!!! then he screamed "this ain't a scene it's a goddamn arms race"!!!!!!! the crowd went wild!!!
Some girls on the balcony screamed in between one song for Pete to take this top off...he said that none of the guys in the crowd would want to see that then said "Where are all the guys in the mosh pit???""...but Andy did play the entire set in only a pair of shorts!!!!!
Joe has grown a huge afro and had this unshaven look...but Pete still looked the best!!!! he had awesome hair!!! but it kinda got messed when he started to spin around with his bass...
My fav. songs that they did were Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, Golden (which for the second verse, they added loads of guitar riffs), I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me, Dance Dance and Saturday!!! Saturday was the last song and near the end, Pete put down his bass, tore off his hoodie, grabbed Paddy's mike, dived into the mosh pit and began to sing the rest of the songs...he kept giggling as people ripped his t-shirt...you could see his awesome tattoos!!!!
we waited outside after the show til about 12:12am ...a whole hour and a half in the freezing cold...we saw them take in about 10 huge pizzas for the bands but then the roadie's and the security began taking all the stuff and laoding it onto the trucks and we were getting really cold so just came home...i already got a look off Pete Wentz during the show so i was content!!!!
It was a brilliant show...not as good as My Chemical Romance because they are my ultimate favouite band, but FOB was still amazing!!!! sooooo glad i went!!!! Pete and Paddy were awesome!!! joe was hilarious and andy just drummed away!!! pete and joe kept leaning towards the crowd getting them to sing along...it was brilliant...the best songs live were Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, Dance Dance, Saturday and Arm Race...
