Evanescence Concert - Manchester the apollo 7/11/11

OMG amazing doesn't even begin to cover it at all. I wouldn't of been surprised if i actually died and went to my version of heaven!

This was my early birthday present of my mum and let me tell you i was so excited when i found out. I had hinted about evanescence for a while but never expected anything to become of it. I asked her to tell me what she was doing. Then i got the best shock of my life because it wasn't just Evanescence who where playing my other favorite band the pretty reckless where also playing. I couldn't stop screaming!

This is a picture of Taylor Momsen who is simply put amazing. For an 18 year old actress/rock star she is awe inspiring. Her performance was unbelievable she is her own person through and through. I in paticular loved her boots i mean they are the best things ever to grace the world. Any type of footwear she wears makes me green with envy and jealousy. Why can't i have her boots???

In fact the whole of the pretty reckless was on top form. I was wowed by your performance. My mum had never listened to your songs until we came to the concert now she wont stop playing them.

For the main event... Evanescence's comeback. After an antagonizing wait for their new album it finally came and it simply blew my mind away. Perfection in motion. Amy lee was so energetic and lively it really made you feel special.





The way she interacted with the crowd made us feel special because we come from the amazingly splendid MANCHSETER! Each time either Evanescence or the Pretty Reckless said Manchester i was surprised the roof didn't fly of from all the screaming. You could tell no one from either group was laking or couldn't be bothered everyone put in full effort.

my new favorite songs are lost in paradise (Evanescence), my immortal (Evanescence), sick (Evanescence), Made of stone (Evanescence),  seven nation army (The Pretty Reckless), goin' down (The Pretty Reckless) and Make me wanna die (The Pretty Reckless)!

Out of the list though my all time favourite from that concert would have to be Lost in Paradise. The lyrics make me emotional not many songs can do that but that song has a special power over me.

I've been believing in something so distant
As if I was human
And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me 

All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me, but I'm broken

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

As much as I'd like the past not to exist
It still does
And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

Run away, run away
One day we won't feel this pain anymore
Take it all away
Shadows of you
Cause they won't let me go
Until I have nothing left

And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
Alone, and lost in paradise


What i love most about both these bands is the way i don't just relate to the music i know what they mean. When you hear these songs you don't just listen to these songs your soul absorbs the meanings of them. Every single song has a story to tell.

Lets just put it this way i loved it too much! It was so awesome i wanted to hit the person who got the drumstick it should of been mine! If either of them do a concert again i would get tickets. I would also go earlier so i could be right at the front.
