Honda Civic Tour 2007- the greenest Tour in SLC Pt. -3


June, 25- We were getting ready and totally excited to attend the craziest event that we had been to- The Fall Out Boy’s concert in Salt lake City! We didn’t have a ride so the first thing in the morning was grabbing the maps and all the bus schedules that we could find in the hall of our dorms. So here we were going to the E-centre. We got there after 3 hours and a half and ran to the nearest restaurant to take a snack. We ate quite a lot and were ready to jump for the whole 3-4 hours. The show was expected to start around 6 p.m and started at almost exactly at that time. I didn’t know that but the Honda Civic Tour was an event that participated other bands than Fall Out Boy making some shows for about 45-50 min. The first band that opened the show was Cobra starship. The audience was still few and I was freaking out because “Cobra starship” is one of the new bands that were singing the song “Snakes on the plane” which I really liked it. I was out the hook, I was practically the only girl who jumped so high and everyone thought whether I am a fan of theirs or whether we are for real high. Cobra starship-Rock with a little extra bite! The band had also a girl and her voice was sweet and melodic. Now we were excited with my friend to know what other superstars will also join here. The next band was Paul Wall…I don’t even know this dude but the song was very familiar to me-something with “grilzz” and he even made a business by selling the grilzz. So it’s a hip-hop person and right away our pure, positive atmosphere was invaded by a bunch of rappers who raised all the hands up like from an Eminem’s video. The atmosphere got hotter when a kid near us showed to the singer the sign “F*** U” and the singer wanted to invite him on stage but the security got mad and kicked him outside.
Anyways, Paul Wall ended so as the hip hop youngsters cleared off the place. Next band was The Academy is…, so until they arranged their instruments it was shown on the huge-mega screens the Gym Class Heroes’ videos. It was such an amazing feeling. So here we go The Academy is…or simply saying High School Never Ends or maybe we are too cool for the school.

It was considered a good band from Chicago. They sounded like All the American Rejects but a little bit rocky and funkier. While they sang some of the girls never stopped screaming the name of the band, lots of posters hanging around so you could feel the madness. After the show we even met them at the Danny's and they seemed really nice guys.The real madness actually started when I saw on stage Travis Barker.He was totally cute, handsome and playing the drums (with no shirt on :) Cool hysteria got into my bones that made me feel like I was a punker of 16 years old. Mark and Travis(ex blink-182) now were called +44.At that moment I didn’t care much about Fall Out Boy, I just wished that these guys never ended their performance on the stage which was completely sick . And the last but not the least was the Fall Out Boy. Pete Wentz appeared from the screen and here we go…Dance Dance, and a surprise cover of a Michael Jackson’s song!
