Hey everyone. I know it’s been a while since my last post. It’s just that there hasn’t been anything worth writing about for the past few months, but yesterday I went out for the first time since January.
The day started as normal except that I had to wake up a bit early because there was a guy coming over at 9 am. We are having all the windows in our apartment replaced from single glass to double glass, so the guy was here to take the measurements he needed. After that I just waited for my boyfriend to come home so we could head out.
We had ordered concert tickets for a band called “Beartooth” in Brussels. They were preforming together with “Motionless in White”. Both my boyfriend and I really enjoy both of the bands and decided that this was a great opportunity to be able to hear their songs live. Since we didn’t care about the first band we decided to head to eat dinner instead since we wouldn’t have to be there until 8 pm.
I had found a really nice Vietnamese restaurant not far from the venue. It was located on small side street and the staff there was really nice. The food was also really good. I ordered “Roasted Duck Noodles,” and my boyfriend had “roasted duck with pineapple sauce.” The duck was really crispy and tender at the same time, and the veggies were also really tasty. I added to chilli oil, which made the dish even better. After our nice dinner, we headed to the venue.
There were a lot of people there which wasn’t surprising since both bands that were left are quite popular. We found a place to sit because I’m never a big fan of standing during concerts and the thought of standing on the floor where people creates “mosh pits” and “rides the crowd” seems both exhausting and kinda scary. So if the place have sitting arrangement I rather choose that.
The first band was “Motionless in white,” which was the one I was most excited to see. I have been listening and enjoying a lot for their music recently and was super stoked to see them perform live. In one of their songs, they even invited the singer of “Beartooth” (the second band) up on stage to sing with them, which was really nice. My favourite songs were definitely “Another Life” and “Masterpiece” since those the ones I knew from before, but I also enjoyed their other songs except for the really heavy ones. They played for around 30 min, which was surprisingly short. In the end, the singer was throwing roses in the crowd when he suddenly got hit by a letter in the face he just looked down with such a disappointed look that it was kinda funny to witness.
While we were waiting for the main band to start they played “Livin’ on a prayer” by Bon Jovi and the entire crowd was singing along to the course. They even muted the music so you could only hear the crowd which made it so awesome
Beartooth’s performance was a really banger. The singer was the most athletic one I have seen. He kept jumping, running, dancing, and headbanging on stage. It was really great to witness. Their songs were also really awesome. My favourites were “Riptide,” “In between,” and “The lines” for the same reason as previous. The crowd was even more wild this time around. Multiple mosh pits and crowd surfers, which just reminded me how happy I was that we didn’t have to stand on the floor. We had to potentially leave the concert early cause we had to make it back home. Thankfully, I got to hear all of the songs that I wanted to hear them perform.
When we got home we watched a couple of episodes of our anime show and then just headed straight to bed since we were both quite tired from all the headbanging (mostly my bf) and singing (mostly me). It was all in all a very successful concert and definitely worth the money and the trip!
