Music Tuesday: Slipknot Concert!

Hello! I’m pretty excited to make this post since this was such a good concert. The lineup was Ho99o9, Cypress Hill, and Slipknot. I only went to this concert because my parents wanted to buy tickets or my birthday, which was super amaizng. I don’t think we would have gone if that hadn’t happened since the tickets were a little bit expensive.

It was interesting to me that Slipknot was touring with two mainly rap bands, when they are pretty rock/metal. However, I think they all fit pretty well and it was a good decision, even if some people didn’t like it.

This post will be structured like this: why we went, how I felt about the music beforehand, each band itself, how I felt about the concert overall, and final thoughts. I have already talked about why we went, since it was a birthday present from my parents, so we will move onto the second section.

How I Felt About The Music Beforehand

I had heard of ho99o9, but never really listened to their music. I did know that their shows were kind of crazy since I had been at rocklahoma when they were performing and there were a lot of lights. I was excited to see them for that reason.

I have both listened to a lot of Cypress Hill before and seen them live at aftershock last year. I was excited to see them again but not super excited since a lot of their music sounds really simialr, but excited nontheless.

I’ve also been listening to Slipknot for a while, and I have also seen them live. I do like their music a lot, but don’t really listen to it on a daily basis. I do know that their shows are a lot of fun, so I was excited to see them and I knew I liked their music and I knew some of it by heart as well, so that was nice to me.

Ho99o9

I really didn’t know what to expect besides knowing it was two guys who do rap music. I was really impressed with the show honestly. They had some props, and one of them was completely dressed up and looked amazing. I will try to find a picture online of that since I didn’t happen to take a good one.

Their music was a lot of fun and I’m glad I got to see them. The family standing in front of us rolled their eyes and complained to each other the whole time, probably because they don’t like rap/ didn’t know why this band was at a Slipknot concert. That was a little annoying but it’s them not having a good time, not me.

I really, really liked them and I’m glad I finally got to see them haha. I don’t think I’ll really be frequently listening to their music, but I do think that I would want to see them again in the future if I got the chance.

Cypress Hill

Really fun, some really annoying people behind us though haha, and that woman grabbed my mom’s head which was outta pocket

One member was in the hospital, but there were a lot of good songs I knew and it was a fun show, they had us say hi to him in the hospital and even though he had no idea, I thought that was really cool.

The main singer guy smoked a cigar the whole time and that was pretty funny

Right after the Cypress Hill show, the people in front of us let me and my mom later go in front of them which was super nice and being so close was very exciting, there was that super creepy guy who kept staring directly at me and smiling though, but I was just there to enjoy my time so I mostly ignored him.

Slipknot

Took a long time to get started, but it was worth it.

I like how all of the screens have just like default stuff on them, like the cylindrical ones have numbers on them so you can tell which one is having problems and everything.

I was so excited for the curtain to drop, especially since we were right in front of it. It was very hype for everyone in the whole stadium when the curtain came down.

Corey Taylor is a great dude and he was very grateful to be doing this and I really like him. He’s an amazing performer as well and I’m so happy that I got to see them.

It was also a really long show and it was so much fun and there weren’t many annoying people around us anymore which was really nice. I’m so happy I got to go and I’m so grateful my parents wanted to buy me tickets for my birthday.

Omg there was also fire haha I have to talk about that.

How I Felt About The Concert Overall

I had a really amazing time at this concert. Each band was a lot of fun and being able to stand front row at Slipknot was even more amazing. I definitely want to see all of the bands again, and I’m so grateful I got to go.

Each band had their own completely distinct personality and I think that really adds a lot to the performances. Concerts and music are definitely art, and I’m so glad I get to experience things like this in my lifetime.

Final Thoughts

The venue was pretty cool, it was also the same place where I graduated so that was pretty funny. There are always obnoxious, annoying people at every concert I go to, so I can’t really knock points off for that. I’ve been trying to go to concerts and have a good time no matter what, and that has been working out pretty well.

I love concerts so much, and this really just solidified that. It was an amazing experience and I’m so glad and grateful that I got to attend it. I’m really excited for everything else to come!
