This week I wanted to write about the concert that was held on campus yesterday evening. When I heard that 30 Seconds to Mars was coming for a concert on campus I was indifferent. Honestly, the last time I had ever listened to one of their songs was probably my freshman year of high school. I heard that the band Neon Trees was playing, and I am familiar with some of their music so a few of my friends and I decided that we would go.
The opening acts for 30 Seconds to Mars were decent, and the weather was fabulous so overall I was having a great time. It was cool to see the MTV played a part in putting the concert on and they were filming there. However, one thing that really annoyed me was the language. When it comes to profanity, I would say that I am pretty tolerant. I don’t care if someone cusses it doesn’t really have any influence over me. However, the band members were just plain ridiculous. Every other word was FFFFFF. Seriously? Not only is that trashy and rude but it is also ANNOYING. I understand that they think they are “super-hot rock stars” but they looked like fools. From what I can remember they don’t use a lot or any profanity for that matter in their music. Yet, when they were on stage that is all that they could say?
As far as the actual music content goes, I think that the concert was good. They played a lot of their older songs, which is cool, because I didn’t know any of their new stuff. A lot of their songs, however, were played acoustic which, in my opinion, really should have been played full instead.
All in all, I think that besides the language issue the concert was a huge success. Good music, nice weather, a fun time with friends, and free reeses cups(Reeses sponsored the concert). If you went, give me your opinion. What did you think of the opening acts, and the music? Did his repetitive use of FFFFFFFFF annoy you too? Haha:) Here is a picture of me and my friends last night!
I didn't go to the concert. I heard that 30 seconds to mars was decent like you said and the first opening band was the sh$%#t that night. I don't listen to much alternative rock.
ReplyDeleteI thought about going to the concert, but I ended up not going. The bands that were playing weren’t really my favorite so it didn’t really matter to me if I went or not. However, I have been to concerts before when all the band says is profanity. For the most part I don’t care, but it’s annoying when it takes away from the quality of the music.
ReplyDeleteI actually wanted to go to the concert, even though I don’t know many of their songs I still wanted to go to see something new on campus but I went home instead haha. Well that is kind of disappointing to see grown men go on stage just to curse the whole thing, yeah we are college students and we are mature or what not but we don’t need that none sense in our community.
