Rocking Out

I was incredibly excited that Three Days Grace and Shinedown were on tour again and visiting Green Bay. Three Days Grace is one of my most favorite bands and this was going to be my third time seeing them and Shinedown in concert. I bought tickets with my VIP status before they went on sale to the public. I couldn't wait until February 6th. I had to wait 3 months before I could rock out live to them again. January comes around and I get the saddest news that lead singer Adam Gontier was leaving the band and vocalist Matt Walst of My Darkest Days was going to step in. I didn't know what to feel about this. I love Adam. His voice and the interaction he had with his fans. So when the day came I went in with mixed feelings. I had seen My Darkest Days perform at Rockfest so I heard Matt sing live before. The concert started with P.O.D. which for me was a little more metal then I like, but they did an awesome job at getting the fans warmed up. Next up Three Days. Matt started singing and I knew right then he was the right choice for Three Days to pick up. He stepped up and filled Adam's shoes no problem. He isn't bad to look at either. I was ecstatic. It was everything I hoped for and then some. And the came Shinedown. My god Brad Smith looked amazing! They started out in the crowd and ended in the crowd were I was 10 feet away. I loved it. I was in Love with Brad. His voice, his attitude and those tattoos. I felt like a little groupie. So by the end of the night my ears were ringing, voice was scratchy and had a piercing headache. It was a total success!

An Epic Return

I have decided to start a blog to put my opinions out there about certain pop culture happenings. My first topic is Justin Timberlake returning to music. Hello! Super excited about that! I am completely astonished that he was able to keep this a secret while recording music. How did he sneak off to the recording studio without the paparazzi following him? Stealthy little bugger. And is Ellen DeGeneres upset that he lied to her when he said he wouldn't return to singing? I would be. They are like besties. So when they debuted his new single Suit and Tie I was stoked...until I heard it. I was like what the heck is this? For some reason I got a Jackson 5 vibe. I have no idea why. But now that I have heard it a couple times it has just gotten better and better. I seriously turn up the volume every time I hear it now. My first opinion was that this was a terrible choice in his first single release from the albumn. I am so glad to say I was wrong. Rock on JT! Rock on!
