Last month on May 14 one of my many wishes came true. It was a wish a had since 7th grade (now i'm a senior)ever since i got the cd, Live Through This, the cd that literally changed my life,i have been dyin to see HoLe live. Their awesome tunes and truthful, melloncollie lyrics have helped me so much in my young teen days (especailly not to be a pussy slut gurl)
Anyway when Celebrity Skin came out i got it and i did like it eventhough it was mellow. Finally after that cd was out for a while HoLe annouced they were finally coming to my town (Pittsburg.) I was so geeked!! My older sister and i went and had such a blast~~! There were two bands that played before Hole and i feel so ashamed that i forgot their names~! The first band was really good and their music kinda sounded like the Breeders. The second band was okay, just an average boy band with pussy lyrics(sorry that that's all i remember of the opening bands but you must remember i was to insanely pysched for HoLe and to see what CLoVe was wearin, cuz i luv her clothes)
It was an hour wait for HoLe to set up and everyone was getting tense. The stage was so awesome, it had a huge red velvet curtion with gold strings and a big screen in the back. Finally after staring long enough the background music stopped and it was time for HoLe to rock~!
It was so amazing cuz as soon as they entered the stage they were playin "Violet" and that was just so perfect!! Clove had her leg elevated(her trademark) wearing a fab shear pink long dress that she hicked up from time to time. They sounded so great and created such energy. It was so cute cuz during 'Reasons to Be Beautiful' Miss Love would get in Eric's face and chase him and when the song was done she pointed to him and said,"I used to go out with him and let me tell you, he was a good fuck."
During all the songs the background screen had a garden scene on it and it is movin like your walking along it. They didn't play too many old songs but their new ones really fill you up. During "Petals" there was a rain shower of silver shreds of paper and that was just so magical and Courtney was so deliciatly poused with her one hand in the air as the silver fell around her. (i took a piece home~!)
Later Love took off the shearness of her dress and had on a brite pink strappy dress on with silver sparkles on it (i wanted it so much...i plan it make one someday) Anyway in the audience right in the front row is a boy dressed like Kurt Cobain (with white sunglasses and red converse) and he was starin at Love and she said in the middle of a song~~"Now look at this, this boy is dressed like Kurt. Honey, u have to face the fact that he is gone...he's in heaven. He knows I love him but you just have to move on"
Through the whole night clove moved her way across stage showing everyone what a real woman is and sang wonderful and just was talking such truth. She totally made me feel special and so up lifted (i was feelin crappy for a while) and when i was walking home i just had a warm feeling in my stomach and i felt free.
