Thanks for sharing your musical journey!
I have a fun memory of Killswitch Engage. I was seeing them at Hellfest in 2016 I think it was. They were supposed to headline one of the stages at midnight and my favorite Norwegian band Kvelertak was supposed to play at 18 o clock. When I arrived there at 18 Killswitch took to the stage instead. I was surprised. Turned out they had switched sets in the last minute.
I actually saw Yelawolf the same year at Malakoff in Norway. Amazing show. I really got into his album Love Story. The song Heartbreak was my favorite.
In Norway we have something called “russefeiring” which is basically a high school graduation celebration. We party from the 1st of May through the 17th of may. We wear red silly pants and hats. It’s amazing. I went to what’s called “Landstreffet Stavanger” and saw Skrillex and Avicii. The shows were really good and energetic even though I ended up on the sickbay with an concussion after Avicii.
I can't believe I hadn't made a post like this one before. Thanks for giving me the idea!
Was Adam Dutkiewicz still playing guitar for Killswitch when you saw them? I’ll never forget he came out with a blow up doll attached to him. He would pretend that he was fucking it while he shredded his guitar solos.
They also still had Howard Jones as their lead singer when I was there too. Now he is with Light the Torch.
Can’t forget when I saw Yelawolf. I didn’t even know who he was at the time, but I liked his dirty white trash look. He had girls come up form the crowd and dance on him during “Daddy’s Lambo”. My favorite song from him for sure. That and “Pop the Trunk”.
Over two weeks of partying! Now that sounds fun. Going to some EDM shows is the best way to have fun. Skirllex was one of the first DJs that I ever listened to. You for sure gotta be careful with the headbanging. If you don’t know what you’re doing that brain will rattle around for sure.
