Paramore in concert (like, wow): Not a reviewP

[christoh]

I didn’t want to write this earlier because (a) I wanted to see if I would still feel the same way in the morning, or whether what I felt about the Paramore concert was just an “at the moment” feeling, (b) I really didn’t know how to describe the wonder that I saw.

Well, it’s been almost 12 hours and I’m still reeling from the concert last night. Really. I mean, just for the sheer energy of Hayley Williams – she had enough to power a small town, I believe. And I dare anybody to disagree with me.

“Great” doesn’t even begin to describe it. Hang on, let me check my thesaurus: Even magnificent, superb, breathtaking, amazing, astonishing, fantastic, brilliant, don’t quite capture the spectacle that was Paramore.

Hayley Williams takes “energetic” to a new level

I mean, I was on my feet all night and anybody who knows me knows that I don’t do that very often. (Mostly because I’m too fat, but that’s another story altogether.)

The planned Singapore set list

You know what, I’m going to cop out and say you can read the actual review in the paper; at least I’ll have some more time to put my thoughts in order (er, and the Academy Awards are starting).love I’ll just leave you with some first look pictures.

Because of Hayley's sheer exuberance, you sometimes forget that Paramore also features er, this guy on guitar...

...this guy who plays the drums...

Suddenly, a bright light came out of nowhere! Blasting him to bits!

...oh, yeah, and these other two guys

Hayley rockin out!

Who do you love?

Siallah. Minor Threat sia. Does she even know the band and what it fights for?

Why're you judging Hayley? She probably has more balls than you.

minor threat t-shirts are gonna be sold out at peninsular plaza.. everyone will start having Xs on their hands..

I remember kids wearing that straight edge X's on their hands just because Paul Twohill did it, was laughing my ass off watching that on Idol. This Paramore singer probably listens to Minor Threat, not surprisingly, I mean everyone has their influences, doesn't mean they sound anything alike. There are also people like Beckham, who wore a Bonded By Blood t shirt once but according to him, he's never listened to Exodus. Let them do what makes them happy la.

I laughed my butt off brutha!

I'm a huge fan of the Dischord label in particular Fugazi& Shudder To Think. A long long time back when orchard mrt was still a draft on someone's table, I was wearing a Fugazi tee& bumped into a Vietnam vet. He was into them D.C. bands& he told me once they got ambushed& situations like that are called a Fugazi - as well those who are a little nut-loose in the head -.

I also found out that a Fugazi means a fake.

There are tons of Fugazis when it comes to 'straight-edge' out there brutha.
