They had confetti cannons that blasted blue sparkly confetti into the pool next to the stage (Nice). should’ve played that Dio cover.īring Me The Horizon played a five minute dubstep breakdown intro, and then played a five minute dubstep song? I got lost in whatever was going on. As I sang along I realized that most of the kids were just standing around, and for one moment in time I felt old. The bassist head-banged a lot and stuck his tongue out, he reminded me of those kids I don’t like. His guitar also said “b33r!” (he likes beer). He did some cool dance moves and made devil horns with his hands quite often, I was into that. The guitarist was wearing an orange bandana and sunglasses the whole time.
