Oh my gawd. I almost died in Muse Concert. This is the most rock n roll concert I've ever been to. The first ever concert which I didn't leave unscathed. I lost my hair band... and my specs got bent :S all thanks to some stupid guy who was doing the stuff where sometimes in concerts people tried to float above other audiences' hands. And that guy's foot kinda pushed down my specs I guessed. I was damn pissed with the guy and some guys behind me who kept pushing me, and muttered "motherf*****" several times. Oh my gawd.
Well, about the specs thing, I'm glad at least I found it. At first I thought I'd have lost it haha. So now i'm wearing my spare pair of specs. Thankfully I have a spare pair :)
Other than that, the concert was marvelous. It lives up to my expectation. Okay, guess the number of the crowd? 6,000! And all are for standing. I guess this explains why when me and Steph reached Fort Canning Park at 6 pm, the queue was already extremely long haha. I saw some people who brought mattress to the venue O_o hilarious hahaha. Anyway, when we got into the real venue, the crowd looks kinda overwhelmingly scary... but it looked this way only on the side closer to the entrance thankfully haha. I bought a merchandise in the form of Muse Tour T-shirt. There's this Muse blouse which I like.. but I thought the tour t-shirt would be more memorable :)
Anyway, at first I started at 15-18 rows from the front. I was kinda sad.. because I really want to see my handsome, the lead singer Matt Bellamy as close as possible. But then I thought never mind, as the concert progresses I'll be able to move closer to the stage haha. And I was right! See the pictures below. These are my views. Both pictures are not taken with any zoom.
At the beginning of the show....
Towards the ending of the show...But.. the bad thing about being in front is that you're very likely to get pushed. And I really mean pushed. With all the sweaty bodies against you. Eww. I stunk horribly by the end of the show. Couldn't go to sleep just like that :s I was horribly wet too by the end of the show. This is because, in the front crowd it's really hot, and my specs keeps getting fogged up. So the security guards splashed water on us occasionally. I guess this is a good and bad thing. Oh, and my specs broke during one of my favourite songs, Plug In Baby. It was 4th last song haha.
Haha, oh speaking of Matthew Bellamy, he looks exactly the same in pictures. Just that in person, you can really see that he's really slender and slim. About his shortness... well I can't really tell. Because maybe the other members are kinda short as well. They look they're of normal height haha. Oh, Matt's guitar and piano skills are astounding, amazing, astonishing, overwhelming.. (and the list goes on). I'm already amazed at how well he plays in videos and tv concerts, and to see it in person is really crazy. I like the style the drummer plays too. Seriously.
Sigh, so the concert ended at 10.30. I was quite surprised that the crowd which turned up are majority of 25-30ish, not like teenagers. Not much Caucasians surprisingly either. I heard some Indo conversations. I guess this is due to the fact the the Indo date for Muse tour was announced like a month after Singapore's date is announced. That's why some people might have purchased the tickets. And... not surprisingly, the guys formed the majority of the crowd. 65-35 is the rough ratio. I guess the girls mostly turn up for Matt hahaha (kidding). Well, I turned up because of their music and, I have to admit, Matt. But if in first place I don't like their music, I wouldn't have turned up in the concert. And if I wasn't amazed with Matt's guitar and piano skills, then I wouldn't have gone to the concert as well. Yeah, I guess you get my point :) (hopefully)
Well, I guess $87 is more than worth it for Muse concert tix :)
On last note.. I'm quite sad Leo lose in golden globes.. though I'm not that surprised actually. Forest Whitaker has been getting lots of buzz for his role in Last King of Scotland. I think he'll most likely win the Oscar.
If Borat got nominated for Oscar's Best Actor (which is highly likely), I shall laugh like a mad woman.
Cheers :)
