Angels & Airwaves Concert review

Strange symbols stobes and a layer of sythedic made this show a bit more than it had to be. Every thing is just like it was at any other show. However, there seemed to be quite a few people that seemed to care about more about the past, wanting to hear Blink 182. 
I could only feel sympathy for the members, imagine if you were Robert Kennedy, having to live in the shadow of your brother John, and people dont support you cause they like your policies on the issues, they just like you cause you just happened to be John F. Kennedy's brother. It's hard living in the shadow that was Blink 182. The more that I think about it, I just think there was alot pf people there wanting to see a Blink 182 concert and not an Angels & Airwaves show. It would not be aparent if it was not for a third of the crowd wearing Blink shirts. 
I thought it some how amusing how different Tom Delonge's voice really is in person. It seems more whiny live compared to how it sounds in a recording, me not being used to this found it to be slightly annoying, however this show was worth seeing if you adore A&A or Blink 182. Just keep in mind that you are not seeing Blink 182.


R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio 1942 - 2010

 The Heavy Metal world has lost a hero, Ronnie James Dio to stomach cancer at the age of 64. Dio was best known for his unique vocals and his showmanship. I must say when a friend informed me of the news my usual happy mood became sad and silent. Wendy Dio (widow of Ronnie Dio) left this statement on ronniejamesdio.com and on the Ronnie James Dio page on Facebook.

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever.”

He leaves behind millions of fans and his band Heaven and Hell. He will be missed and admired until the end of time.
