wow this so was f*cking amazing. Best one yet on this tour. It was insaneeeeeeeee. I actually took video and pictures since the venue allowed cameras. So I'll try and get them up asap.

It was pretty sad, Bill was actually crying during the set and I felt really bad. His eye make up was running down the side of his face and I thought that he might just be hot and then It started on the other side and I noticed his nose was running and his eyes were all watery. I think it was the fact that I myself and other fans smashed in front gave him these faces of "help" and he couldnt really do anything about it. He mouthed "sorry" to me and I could tell he really meant it. His outfit was flippin adorable I was talking during that day in the line that I wanted him to wear suspenders but leave them hang off his pants AND HE DID! haha. It was cute.

They were really silly when it came to dumping the water out. They would take unopened bottles, open them, drink, then took it and dumped it on like ONE person. Tom literally stood there drenching me and I was like "wow this is cold.." and then He gave this huge smile and laughed. Then Georg came out and took 2 bottles and drank them dumped them on the same people tom did. I dont think he payed attention to what Tom had done right before him. Bill didnt really do anything. He didnt throw his towel either I was surprised.

Then I swear there were like 4389054385 people who had a meet and greet before the show. All these people just kept coming out of no where saying the won these random contests Ive never even heard of. I didnt care after the group grew so big. They were only inside for like 5 minutes.


okkkkkk I know Im forgetting a lot so I appologize

It sucks when people get caught up in the moment and forget to be human beings and help a fellow fan. I showed up at 5PM because I had no desire to try and be in front of the stage. I got that out of my system years ago when there was a riot at a Guns n Roses concert back in the early 90's. Axl Rose has a hair trigger temper and while I can't see Bill punching anyone for taking video, ya never know. Just kidding!

We stood to the side, just above the stage and got some great pics, enjoyed the concert and had a great time.

Bill was BEAUTIFUL. Tom was hot. Georg was, well Georg.

And Gustav? Mein Gusty?

*THUD*


I had two extra tickets and my friend took one. She brought a kick ass camera and we got some sweet shots. I got busted taking video but not before we managed to get 2 1/2 songs. The best part was when we could text stuff to the screen before the show.


"Gustav ist mein weiner schnitzel" lol

Bill's voice started out rough but he quickly stepped up his game and knocked it out of the park. Acoustic Tom + Acoustic Georg = *THUD* My son had the time of his life and snagged a T-shirt and poster out of it. We waited for them to get on the buses but the guys waved at the crowd and my son was over the moon after that.

Flamingoradio von tha:

Oh. my. god. That was, like others have said, the best and worst experience of my life. Let's start from the beginning, shall we? This might get wordy, but if you're like me, you like long reviews

Got there around 10am and I was about 20th in line or so. Waiting in line was BOORRRINNNGGG for the first part. But then my parents brought the puppy (we just got a new puppy a week ago, minpin/chihuahua 8 weeks old) and we had it with us in line for a few hours. So if you heard about a puppy, it was mine haha. Idk what time but later on their tour bus drove up and everyone went running and screaming. From where I was at I only saw the tip of Bill's hair as he walked in (he was behind a damn bush.) Then when we got back to our spots people had cut in line because people went to see TH arrive. Needless to say I had to defend my spot more than once. Them bitches are sneaky, I tell you. They come up to you, and talk to you and be like overly nice and don't leave when you are done talking.

Right well, then we stood squished in line outside, then they let us in and we ran to the pit. I was about 4th row dead center when it started. Oh, about the text board. It was a big screen they had in the corner and it had a number on it and you text to that number and whatever you texted would go up on the screen. Like a big chat That's where I saw the Schnee thing a couple of times, lol. I'm pretty sure it was a good thing, Schnee

They were only about 15 minutes late. The damn roadies toyed with us, though. They'd stick their hands out from behind the curtain and make everyone scream. A few people tried the ol' "my mom/dad/friend/whatever is up there, I need to get up there!" bullshit.

Then it started. And let me tell you, I have never been so squished in my life. For the first about half of the concert I stayed in 4th or 5th row mostly center and tried to stay upright like my life depended on it (which it did!) Then I gave up trying to stay up there and moved back to like row 10 (still a really good view, since I'm tall but I had SO much more room and I could actually move my arms and breath. I was on my tippy toes most of the concert, because the air above everyones' heads was actually cool and not dripping with moisture. I was literally dripping with sweat, as was everyone around me. Most of the concert I had at least one little little girl beside/ in front of me. I was worried about her, so I was always glancing down at her. I accidentall pulled a lot of hair, it just stuck to my arms. Oh yeah, protip: KEEP YOUR ARMS UP. like, instead of having them by your side because they will get stuck down there, plus when you have your arms up it gives you more room for your lungs to expand and you can push if need be. The pushing was bad, but that's to be expected. I almost fell a few times. A few people got pulled out, one was a little girl. Nobody was really mean, except this one chick who kept pushing my head down with her arm.

I don't remember the set list, sorry, but I'm sure it was the same as everywhere else. First encore was Rescue Me second was Durch Den Monsun. I made eye contact with Bill and winked, then he smiled back. After reading everyone say how they made eye contact with him and all that I was always like "ooh, yeah right" but seriously, he does really strive to make eye contact with as many people as he can. My friend even touched his hand!

Any way, on to the drama/rant. I was there with my friend, Sam. She got pushed up to the very front row somehow but fell down, and was stepped on for two songs. She was screaming and clawing at legs, but nobody helped her until two songs later. The security pulled her out and she was having a panic attack, and the staff there yelled at her. They said REALLY rude things, that I can't even repeat on here. I cannot STAND those fans that don't help others. Words can't even express how angry I am with those fans and the staff who treated her badly. She's fine now, no broken ribs, will have bruises tomorrow for sure.

So two tips for future concerts; keep your arms up by your chest and HELP THOSE WHO ARE INJURED/ON THE VERGE OF FAINTING.

I didn't get pictures, because I decided not to bring my camera, which was smart. At first I couldn't move my arms to raise them up anyways, and they would've been blurry. I got some on my phone (not good ones at all) but I'd rather stay concentrated on the concert then taking pictures. So expect nothing from me besides this very long review. Sorry if I didn't word things right or had run on sentences and what not, but I'm tired and am enjoying my McDonalds.

Oh and the lack of updates was because, well, there was nothing to tell. The line was pretty uneventfull. Oh and for the soundcheck, they played 1000 oceans and Final Day, that I heard. Ahhh that's all I can think of so... yeah. :)

-----------------
On the phone with Elphie right now

I was on the phone with her when the band came out to the bus and the screaming was insane! She said Tom had on blue shoes...Bill's makeup was running...Bill sang to Gustav and he was singing along with Bill (mouthing the words). Bill was sweating like crazy and he had on a "B" belt buckle. Had blingy microphone. The crowd was way nicer than Chicago. Tom had on black NY hat. No guitar humping...he held the guitar outward but no real humping.

Elphie said she's gonna do a full review probably tomorrow and she got some good pics til her battery died.

-----------------------------------

und nochmals Flamingradio:

Oh, forgot to say, Bill is amazing in person. So. hawt. Tom looked kind of... bored? Gustav's face was beet red and he was setting buckets. Georg... well, I didn't look :) although, I did get some of Georg's water in my mouth O_o I got Bill's water in the face twice, felt good, it was so hot. Oh and Bill walked over to Tom with a smirk and laid his arm on his shoulder, both of them smiling, knowing that it would make everyone scream. My ears honestly couldn't even register that decibel, it just sounded like... idk. Strange sounds. And Bill's makeup ran ( <3 ) on both eyes. It was cute. All of them very sweaty.

Outfits:
Bill: black shirt with a picture thing of like... fat ladies chins and mouth putting on lipstick? idk it was a weird shirt. He had leather like suspenders, but not on my his shoulders they were hanging down. Cute cowboy type boots, dark jeans, LOTS of chokers (OH YES). and a big ol' belt buckle with a B on it, which he messed with a few times. His hand was in his crotch area a lot O_O anyways...

As for the rest of them... I honestly don't remember. The usual I suppose. Ok, again, all I can think of. Maybe I'll think of more once I sleep.


Und zu dem Gerücht, dass Bill geweint hat....

BILL DID NOT CRY. HE WAS SWEATING LIKE BALLS IN A LEATHER PANTS.

I have no idea, what that chick is on, but he was NOT crying. His makeup would've ran on the inside of his eyes

And no, they didn't just dump it on one person, they throw it into the crowd. But ya, Bill didn't throw his towel. My friend got hit in the face with Gusti's drum stick, though, but it got ripped from his hands.

---------

und nochmals:

I was close enough to definately see that he was sweating. God, it was so hot. Ahh, I can't bring myself to get off and goto bed, haha. Anyone got any questions or anything? I might remember more stuff if asked, lol. I'm still in lala land.

Oh, the meet and greet. A guy came down the line earlier in the day asking if anyone had won a meet and greet or w/e. I didn't even see anyone say yes O_o so I'm not sure how that worked. And I still don't get he VIP thing.
