Review: Pierce the Veil Concert 3/30/13

Pierce the Veil played in Palatine, IL at Durty Nellies on March 30th. The venue was small, which I personally have no issue with because it is way easier to get to the front of the crowd. (I did by the way :D) The concert had 3 openers.

Issues :

Letlive. : 

and Memphis May Fire: 

Personally, I thought all of these openers were amazing. I've seen Memphis May Fire 3 times before and they never fail to please the crowd. My favorite song of theirs was Vices. 

This is the first time i saw Letlive. live and i was speechless. The lead singer, Jason Butler (who sang a part in one of Pierce the Veil's songs), was QUITE the stage presence. He was, as I heard people saying around me, "psycho". I was amazed to see someone put so much into his singing on stage and I LOVED it. I had the great luck to meet him after the show and i gave him a hug and told him he was amazing and i would definitely be in the crowd to see him at Warped Tour.

When Pierce the Veil finally came on, I was front row. They were amazing. I got separated from my friends because I was pushing for the front so I made friends with the people around me. These concerts feel like home to me and everyone is so friendly. Pierce the Veil played Hold On Till May, and I bawled my eyes out because that song saved my life. I was so happy at that moment. And they sang Tangled in the Great Escape, Jason came out to sing his part and it was just...too amazing. A great night, and a great concert.

After the concert, and the two-song encore, ended, I saw a guitar pick laying on the stage, and I didn't even think twice about crawling onto the stage and grabbing it. <3 It was Vic's (The lead singer)

I will be seeing them again May 3rd with Mayday Parade, All Time Low, and You Me at Six. Expect the same result. (:

Wretched or Divine?

Black Veil Brides is a glam metal/rock band from California. The 5 current members are (respectively) Christian "CC" Coma, Jinxx, Andy Biersack, Jake Pitts, and Ashley Purdy. Let me just start by saying: Yes, they are guys. Yes, they wear makeup. Yes, they (mostly) have long hair. I know, rough concept, haha.

Anyways, Black Veil Brides was started in 2006, however, the only founding member remaining is Andy Biersack. In 2009, their first single, "Knives and Pens", was a massive hit, and they came out with a video for it. This song is actually one of my favorites by them, even though they were just starting out here. I personally think it was a great video as well.

Their three albums, "We Stitch These Wounds", "Set the World on Fire", and "The Wretched and Divine", have all done pretty well too. Their most recent album, "The Wretched and Divine", was released in December 2012. This album came with a movie counterpart, which I have heard was "creepy, but awesome". The album was supposed to tell a story, which the movie played out. Now, since i haven't seen the movie, I can't say if it was any good or not. You can read the idea behind the movie here.

However, I did preorder the album, and it was AMAZING. Their single from this album was entitled "In the End" and there is an amazing video to go with it. The video kind of gives you an idea of how the movie was. I, personally, think they have come a very long way.
