The blog I worte when I went to see Hellyeah [8.1.07]
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just had the best day of my life , as you can see from the title. Anyway! I just seen and MET HELLYEAH!!!!! If you don't know who they are, you sould. I'll tell you everything that happened.
We, which consisted of Amanda H., Jody Brown, and Thomas Estepp (TC), all left to go to Huntington at 6 and got out there at 7:45. When we got there, there was quite a few people standing outside of the Monkeybar, so we parked and got in line. I was getting all xcited cause I was about to see Hellyeah and this was my first real concert! I thought it was a pretty big line, but I looked behind us and didn't even care where we were in line...I was glad to know I wasn't that far back. Anyway, they let everyone in around 9, so when we got in, we paid $20 and if you were under 18, you got an X on your hand so you wouldn't try to get anything to drink, then they gave us the bracelets and we were finally in. There was 4 bands, but I never got to hear the 1st band's name...they were okay. Then a band called 5 Finger Death Punch came up 2nd. Damn, they were great! They had the crowd so pumped up, and I don't know how many pits! It was so crazy, All 4 of us got jabbed and pushed so many times...it was insane, but the thrill of it was f*ucking awesome!!!! I would never recommend getting in one tho. After them, there were these guys called Invitro....sucked ass! They came out with aluminum foil on their heads..thought it was funny at first because it was different..and then I heard the singing. The music was awesome but I didn't hear a damn word he said! I hate that shit! But they did throw a few balls around so I got one to keep it for a souviner and I got a cd that they were handing out. And after waiting about 2 hours...I seen the most beautiful thing EVER walk on the stage...CHAD GRAY! (He's from Mudvayne...FAVORITE BAND EVER!!!)
And I looked all around the stage and seen Maxwell and Jerry Montano from Nothingface, Greg Tribbett, the guitarist from Mudvayne, and THE GREATEST DRUMMER EVER............VINNIE PAUL!!!! Oh my god, I was so xcited when I seen Vinnie! But the second I seen Chad, was the greatest thing! <(pt.1) I was freaking out so bad that I started crying! I was so happy!!! I can't remember the set list, but in song 2...HE CROWD SURFED!!!!! (greatest thing part 2) And I forgot to mention I was right in front of him...FRONT ROW!!!! I was right at the gate and I could not breathe because people were pushing me so much. So when he jumped, I freaked out! I grabbed his ass as much as I could and dear god! It was wonderful! And right before everyone (and me) put him back on stage, His shrit rose up so I touched his back/stomach....I almost died! He's so damn sexy!!!!! And I swear on my grave everything I just said, happenened...If you don't believe me, I don't care.
In all my life, I had never been so sweaty, crowded, pumped, I never screamed like I did...nothing like that until tonite. Tonite was so crazy! I got shoved so many times, and by this time, I lost everyone I was with. I was right at the gate, Chad was right in front of me, so of course, everyone wanted to get close, so I wasn't mad, until I almost fell. The security guard rabbed my hand and tried to pull me back up and he said for another guy to pull me over the gate so I wouldn't get hurt, but I didn't want them to b/c it was the last song and I didn't kow If they were gonna put me back out in the back part of the crowd or anything and I told him thanks and asked him if they were gonna have a meet and greet after the show and he said yes and for only $20 dollars!!! My heart stopped, I couldn't believe that I was about to meet them! All I had to do was go buy the cd, and I didn't care at that time that I already had the cd...I didn't care one bit! After about 45 mins, They were letting people upstairs and I wasn't complaining where I was in line there either. They finally let people go on up and the first person I seen was Greg! I looked for Chad, he was 3rd at the table and when I finally got to him, I asked him" Can I ask 1 favor from you?" He said "Yeah" Me -> "Can I have a hug? I've always wanted to meet you" And he stood up and sqeezed me so hard, and I said Oh my god when I was hugging him b/c I just could not believe it! He told me he loved me and of course I said it back (GREATEST MOMENT OF MY DAMN LIFE!!!) (pt.3..and of course I that topped it ALL!) and I moved down and seen Vinnie as the last person at the table and when I got to him, I asked him if I could have a hug from him too, so he stood up and I about died! He's the greatest drummer and that was a brother to the late and always great, Dimebag Darrell from Pantera, the greatest guitarist that has ever walked the earth! And I knew that chance would probably never come again so I didn't care to ask them and they didn't care to do it. And, no joke, I said I was never gonna wash that shirt again. I'm either gonna put it in a pic frame or a plastic bag or a little box, because I'm never gonna listen to that cd either. That was honestly the best thing that has ever happened to my in my whole life and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
When we were finally ready to leave, I couldn't breathe! I was freaking out in the car! An all I wanted to do is listen to Hellyeah and thankfully, the had it, so after a while, they finally played it. It's now 5:42 in the am and I got home at about 5 after 4 and I'm still not ready to go to sleep. I can't get over the fact that I just met Hellyeah and hugged Chad and Vinnie f'in Paul!! And if I don't quit now, this will never end. Well, I'm off. Pics are up too, btw. Oh yeah, one more thing, they wouldn't let cameras in which really pissed me off so I have no other proof other than the pics that I took of the cd they signed and my shirt I wore and everyone that knows me, knew I was going to that show. Anyway, if ya got any questions, just ask! Later!
