IRON MAIDEN live @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre 04.05.16

Yesterday i got to go and see one of my favourite bands perform and as you may have guessed by the title it was ... IRON MAIDEN!!

Dougie and I arrived super early with my little brother in tow around 5:15pm and got into the merch tent early and bought ourselves a shirt each.
Gates opened at 5:30pm and then began the wait outside door 5 with my fellow blood brothers, we even bumped into a lad from Sheffield, North Yorkshire and man did he rock out he was great at getting everyone pumped throughout the night.
Once inside the long wait began for the opening band but when they did finally perform... just WOW The Raven Age were just incredible; with spectacular performance energy, a really mind blowing sound that had the crowd going, please definitely check them out as they are worth following. They performed:

1. Promised Land
2. The Death March
3. Eye among the Blind
4. Merciful one
5. Salems (short)
6. Angel in Disgrace

 After Another wait it was time for IRON MAIDEN and i rocked out so hard it was the best night of my life. They performed:

Black Sabbath live @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre 25.04.16

On Monday i got to see Black Sabbath live @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre and all i can say is OMG what a great show the crowd atmosphere was electric, the vocals were above average and the drummer had more energy than the entire crowd combined. The opening act for Black Sabbath was a band called The Rival Sons from Long Beach, California

I really enjoyed the Rival Sons set the singer has a nice dirty vocals and at times was almost making out with the mic which is fine with me ;).

 I went to the gig with my boyfriend Doug and he bought himself a Sabbath shirt what a handsome chap he is showing it off :)

 When it was time for Sabbath to perform the crowd went wild, Black Sabbath performed a heap of the classic songs like War Pigs, Paranoid, Iron Man and Into the void. Ozzy Osbourne was on a roll with a spectacular vocal performance and surpassed popular expectations.

 And drummer Tommy Clufetos gave a outstanding drum solo that really had the audience in awe at his energy and showmanship. At the end of the set a brilliant performance of Paranoid had the crowd losing it, I know i was :)

 Guitarist Tony Iommi threw plectrums into the crowd and i was lucky enough to take one home, as well as Doug. I am planning on making mine into a necklace and overall i have to give it to Sabbath for giving Brisbane an amazing show that was by far not lacking and is one of the best performances i have seen in my adult years so far.
