Breaking Benjamin

            I went to a Breaking Benjamin and Shinedown concert about a week ago, and all I have to say is, wow. It was freaking fantastic! It was so good that I think that it is worthy to post something about it on my blog. Now, for something like that to be worthy enough to be posted on this amazing blog had to have been something special; and let me tell you this, it was. So much so that I am going to have to explain everything. So I hope that you agree, if you went to the concert, that I am correct on everything that I say.

I just want to address the bad parts of their concert. It’s nothing major, it’s just a little annoying. First off, their lead singer told a group of people in the mosh pit to start waltzing in a circle. I have no clue why the hell he did that. It was so random and he said it out of no wear. Then also when he is performing, he stands in one spot for an entire song. I would personally like it if he would have moved around a little bit more. Then the last thing that bugged me was the swearing. I hear swearing all the time, it’s basic vocabulary of a high school student. But when he cussed, it was so awkward. I don’t know why, but it was.

That was just little things, now for the awesome parts. Breaking Benjamin opened with their song failure. Personally that is my favorite song by them, so when they came right out with it, I just about pissed myself from excitement! Then they went on with their songs and the room just kept getting better and better. They sang songs like Angels Fall, I Will Not Bow, Diary of Jane, and Give Me a Sign. Each song was just amazing. They sounded amazing and the crowd went crazy for them. Then in the middle of their concert, they came out with a surprise. The whole U.S. Cellular Center went completely black. Then, they came out with light sabers. Freaking light sabers!!! They did a tribute to the upcoming new Star Wars film. They had Storm Trooper helmets and everything! Then they did the Star Wars theme song on the guitar, and all I can say is that it was fan-damn-tastic.

Other than those first few things that I said I didn’t like, it was an all-around good concert. I like Breaking Benjamin a lot more than I did going into it. I would love to go see them again if I could.
