ok so i got to see them live last night.
ill just do a thing on everyone i saw.
Saosin - thought they were great live. their whole set had a lot of energy to it and they played really well. I also got all of their autographs after the show haha
Mindless Self Indulgence - Didn't really stay to watch them, but i could see them from a distance. They looked like they were going completely crazy on stage. I only recognized one song they played, and thats recognized, not knew. haha. Didn't really make much of an effort to see them, was busy chillin and such.
Placebo - was waiting really far away to get in but from what i could hear they sounded decent. Again i was far away so thats bias fo sho.
HIM - their vocalist is a chain smoker, thats it. He came on stage wtih a cigarette. They played like 6 or 7 songs, and he had 9 or 10 cigarettes in that time. It was sweet recognizing a song from them just from watching like viva la bam and whatnot, but I don't think they are as good as they are made out to be, at least live.
Julien K - Eh. Was the first band we saw on the main stage so we didn't have too high of expectations. I thought the different sounds they threw into their music was pretty cool, and how you can see them doing different effects with sounds live was pretty cool.
Taking Back Sunday - They were pretty sad from the start. I guess one of their normal guitarists' wife had a baby the night before so he wasn't playing, and their drummer had 3 discs in their back messed up so he wasnt there. They had a backup guitarist playing (from saosin) and a backup drummer (from an unknown band?) and overall i thought they were pretty good. I recognized a few songs from them and everyone was singing make damn sure! haha.
edit - by sad at the start i meant with members not being there, they still played well.
My Chemical Romance - I don't really like them so i wasn't all that excited to see them. They had a good stage presence and had the crowd going a lot and they had fire, which made their set gnar. Every once in awhile when the fire came out i got excited haha. They played all their hits and whatnot so i knew a few. Their vocalist has "Fuck" tattoo'd on his neck, so hes cool. not. haha.
