Tori Amos 'Abnormally Attracted To Sin Tour' 2009
Hammersmith Apollo, London 11th September 2009
We walked to the bus stop, where we got on the bus to the Hammersmith Apollo theater, there were alot of adult fans waiting in long queues outside the theater, after about 10 minutes, we were let into the foyer, where people proceeded to spread out, purchasing drinks and merchandise, we had to wait a further 20 minutes before we were able to take our seats, another pause of 20 minutes & the lights went down, the first act appeared on stage were 'One Eskimo' they were the best support act, thats i'd seen or heard, their songs were epic & emotional, the stage was cleared but for a number of keyboards & pianos, tori appeared from the right side of the stage, in an orange flowing dress & gold leggins, she waved at the audience & did a little egyption dance as she walked to the piano, sat down & started playing she sang a number of songs from the new album: 'Abnormally Attracted To Sin' occasionally criss crossing from one piano to the other depending on the songs, she tapped her head alot which i now know is for a top hat aka a high note, she talked to the audience and said some sweet things, introduced her band & informing us of her drummer Mattie's departure & that this was his last tour, she played some cherished old songs from the various back catalog of albums, there were so many colored light changes, a wall of tiny lights & something written which was projected onto the back of the stage, throught out Tori's performance, some fans near the end almost stormed the stage, but stopped just in front, so everyone stood up from their seats and gathered to take a glimps of Ms Amos as she was singing, she later left the stage in quick fashion & we the audience made it known that we were worthy of more, after much cheering & foot stomping, the band and tori returned to the stage, to perform 2 more songs & she thanked her band & left to the sound of the audience cheering & clapping whilst recieving a standing ovation, the show was over & everyone proceeded to be hurded out of the theater on to the street.

November Rain
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE GIGS
PORTSMOUTH, GUILDHALL 2ND NOVEMBER 2005
I met Gerard Way for the first time.
I gave him a sparkly red gift bag, i said "This is for you." And went back to staring at the girls surrounding me because they were gorping at me.
Gifts consisting of H.I.M 'Love Metal' cd and British bits and bobs.
Gerard stared alot too. Took my attention off him, turns out Gerard doesn't like being ignored, he walked around, and stood in front of me, his body language saying "Never mind them HELLO! i'm over here."He spouted "Right on."I was thinking "Oh my god you didn't just say that?, Nobody says that...ahem; ANYMORE!"
Gerard went back to staring (pregnant silence) then he grabbed me out of the crowd and pulled me to him, there was a moment when i was near him, my body language said "Oh that's what you want..." and we hugged cheek to cheek according to my friend Gerard Way had a gentle smile on his face.
Realising i'd broke the hug to soon, Gerard wasn't ready to let go i stood beside him and put my arm around him, he looked down at me with a gentle expression on his face, looking on as i walked away.
I met Brian Schechter (Tour Manager) i think, who said "If you wanna meet the rest you have to go round the other side."
I had one more glance at Gerard before i went back to my hotel to my surprise Way was still stood there staring at me, also Gerard signed my friend Michael's 'i don't need your friends... i've got my own' t-shirt.
My Mother was so stunned by Gerard's hug she forgot that i needed an autograph just as Way was walking away she caught up with him and said "Can you sign this for my nephew?" to which Gerard replyed "Sure." Brian tapped Way on the shoulder, and said "That's it." They walked slowly back to the tour bus.
BOURNEMOUTH, INTERNATIONAL CENTRE 11TH NOVEMBER 2006
After waiting an hour Frank Iero came out in a black mini white striped hoodie, hood up of course, went along signing papers, shoes along the ramp shook a girl's hand and carried on signing, everyone packed in like penguins, as Iero came round to us trying to take some decent pictures of him i got my book signed then Frank walked to the tour bus.
After waiting another hour Gerard Way came out in a black parker jacket went along the ramp signing papers, shoes around the wall and told fans to hang on a second while he got out a cigarette and lit it.
Gerard puffing away i could see smoke i knew he was getting closer i was watching his every move i think Way glanced over as he was signing he made eye contact i snapped him in the face with my camera by accident while he was signing Gerard was stunned for a second i voiced "Oh sorry..." he looked at me and said "It's okay," in a whisper.
people pushing and shuving my mother past over my book Gerard looked it up and down very interested in what it might have inside about him, unfortunately he didn't have time to read it so he just signed it.
I pasted a laminated poster back to a fan girl who gave it to Way, i took it from Gerard it was like freaking pass the parcel because he signed it and past it back before he knew it was for him.
My mother Gave Gerard my letter he took it, held it up and shook it to let me know he'd recieved it, Way looked for me in the crowd i jumped up and said "It's from me!" he replyed with a nod and said "Alright." Immediately shuving it into his right parker jacket pocket and proceeded to walk back to the tour bus.
LONDON, CARLING ACADEMY BRIXTON 12TH NOVEMBER 2006
We saw Frank Iero and support act 'Cry for silence' they had to load up their own gear into a rickety old red van quite sad, i felt sorry for them got autographs/pictures Gerard was gonna come out but the police thought it wouldn't be a very good idea for him or the fans.
I saw Iero give a tv interview there was a security guard standing over him with a black umbrella.
PLYMOUTH, PLYMOUTH PAVILLIANS 20TH MARCH 2007
Gerard noticed me just before he nodded to Mikey to go forward to the edge of the stage, Way glanced over and kept coming over to our side but couldn't get there so he sent his little brother Mikey out on the speakers Mikey played for us and smiled for the first time.
Iero came over to our side to play for us, Frank gurned and smiled he was being cheeky like a true pro.
They never came out in Plymouth because of 'Fly by night' vans were milling about getting their gear together, also Gerard had hurt his neck that night and was in servere pain.
BRIGHTON, BRIGHTON CENTER 21ST MARCH 2007
Gerard glanced over a few times he nearly got pulled off stage by a looney fan Way said "You'd better go to the backstage bit." The was escorted out.
Way was working the spotlight and held it on me twice/more, Gerard came off the stage in front of the crowd oblivious to everyone, slowly walking by me staring, the time it took him to walk by is how long Gerard stared, he never blinked once (I was the only one, he took the time to look at in the crowd, whether it was because i was wearing a parker jacket in the mosh pit, had forgotten the lyrics or was interested in what he saw, who knows?) then Way walked back up on stage.
After waiting an hour Frank Iero came out with a English tweed flat cap on, was charming as always and signed anything and everything people had asked him too, again we were told that was it no one else was going to greet us (Lying as usual) just minutes later Gerard Way appeared in a black coat, scarf and beanie hat hood up looking real cute and signed peoples books he spoke to my mother she gave Way a st Christopher medallion he looked surprised and replyed "Is this for me?" Mom told Gerard it was from me, he looked over at me his expression softened, he said "Thanks, Thanks so much" to which i replyed "From me too," and pasted him the token red sparkly bag with my drawrings and a letter inside.
Way continued looking at me went to turn away hesitated, turned back like he would have liked a hug he lingered and realised that i couldn't get to him and vice verser, gazed over again, then moved on still clutching his gifts with two hands the crowd pressed for autographs.
SHEFFIELD, HALLAM FM ARENA 13th NOVEMBER 2007
the concert was good although Gerard didnt come out afterward he had to go to london for his comic book signing, i forgot.
the support act mindless self indulgence was excellent but lyn'z let them down she didn't do much, and it looked like she was miming playing the bass guitar i thought i was gunna see sumthing spectacular and be proven wrong but turns out i was right about her Jimmy the lead singer, kitty the drummer shud become a duo and leave the other two behind, becus they were about the only ones doing any work on stage, and Gerard was brilliant as usually but he was trying to be all uncaring and trying to act like he doesn't give two figs about us but it didn't suit him, (Gerard Way Aint Jimmy Urine.) They were on longer than before it was brilliant on his encore he did about 5/6 more songs than usual and he didn't introduce his wife or mention anything about his "wedding" which i thought was strange as they are the supporting act for MCR
lyn'z was scary also she has all my dance moves and wore her hair in bunches i was thinking god she's nicked all my moves but other than thats she botched it up and she knew she had made it also at one point all the crowd went silent and the place was half empty for them then the place filled up to the rafters for MCR.
lyn-z tryed to do her 10 ft away from the stage thing and sheffiled mosh pit dropped her on the floor almost instead of carrying her away from the stage
she was five inches away from it... it was funny she had to be carried out but a security guy and put back on stage also jimmy was saying really mischeivous stuff to her and she said sumthing and shook him... the venue can hold up to 40,000 ppl...
Jimmy seems very GAY he was miming along to liza minelli's the show must go on it was the funniest thing ever.
