Fall Out Boy Live in Singapore - 10 Feb '09Took a cab down w Liling through a congested highway.
Cab fare amounted to $18.yowie!
Approached the venue t find myself encountering the guard which to my dismay requested me t place my dslr into the lockers:(
With a frustrated heart i re-entered again.
The area allocated was small and it was already half-filled when we went in.
Soon after,Hey Monday entered the stage as the stage lights were brought alive.
Although i was in the middle of the impatient crowd,
I started jumping to some of their songs which i knew.
Liling said the band looked cartoon and the lead singer looked like minnie mouse if im not wrong.
The stage was rather huge and their amplifiers were not t be seen.
Allowing them a huge area t run around and interact with the crowd.
Fall out boy brightened the atmosphere as they arrived with Thks Fr Th Mmrs as their first song up.
It was plain hectic and I soon got dispersed from Liling.
I proceeded my way through the pushing and stuff t the second row where i got pleased at my location (right in front of Pete Wentz,the over-rated bassist who i idolised in the past)
His bass was a little hard t hear at times questioning my abilities of his once more.
There were many teenagers some even tweens,pushing and shoving were common.
It was more like a mosh pit in the first 8 rows except everyone in t first two rows were safe.
I found myself tussling with another dude who kept complaining about his area.
I never gave up till we settled to just plain squishing.
One personal favourite moment of the concert was when:
They started the famous riff of I Don't Care,
the stage lights were completely switched t pitch black and the guitars on all of them lit up.
Giving the little impressions of floating guitars with lited bulbs on them.
It was such a sight that i found it a pity t be without my dslr,besides the stage lighting was perfect!
I was thrown aback by Patrick speaking t the crowd as he was known t be stage shy.
He managed t pull it off with little jokes t start with and stories t speak of.
They finished a 16 song set in an hour and a quarter.
I pleaded whole heartedly t the guard t pass me t set list which he declined at first.
He passed me t pick which fell on the floor soon after constant begging
I caught hold of the set list the next time he threw it in the air.
The disgrunted caucasions wasnt too pleased with me getting it.
Currently the set list is plastered on my wall.
I'd take a picture of it once i'm free.
