OLP were absolutely amazing tonight, The two other times was better for me,
but tonight they were supporting Avril Lavigne and its nice to no that OLP put
just as much effort into a performance even as a suppot band. Raine as usual had
amazing stage presence and he crouched down a couple of time and sang to i'm
guessing Ourladypeace fans. He Never came to my side, i was @ the far left
infront of the speakers about 4 rows back, i tryed to get Duncans attention a
few times....didn't work. They started off with a new song called "talk is
cheap" couldn't understand the lryics properly, Kind of sounded quite hard like
"whatever" sounded a good song never the less. Next Came "innocent", which
sounds so great Live the crowd reacted well to it i thought, including the Avril
fans, them came a shock, they played "bring back the sun" twas exepecting "do
you like it?" that was Followed by my fav song of the night "supermans dead"
which totally got me jumping about even though nobody else near me
was.......Then came another new song "not afraid" again didn't hear the lyrics
properly, guess its cause i don't no the song, sounded really good though, esp
Jeremy's drumming, this was then followed by "the birdman" i never really
appreciated this song until tonight, Steve's solo seemed to sound longer then
usual and dammit it blew me away, STEVE YOU WERE F'ING amazing tonight. Then
came "somewhere out there" and when they came to the quiet bit of the song after
the 2nd chorus i was singing the lryics real loud and didnt lower my voice so i
was yelling out the lyrics when the soft bit came on.....funny looks were
greated to this, haha. OLP rapped it up with "starseed" which again went down
well, before that song Raine was talking and i coudn't understand him,but i did
catch him saying somethng like "this is a marther luthar king quote" then he
talked about the war and that communication is very important. what a guy! as
they were leaving they walked from one end of the stage to the other just
clapping the fans and chucking drumsticks in and stuff. They walked off to 3,000
people strong giving them a near thunderous reception.
I can't wait to see them live again, reports say they'll hit the EUROPE again in sepetember.
if anyone cares, Avril lavigne is rubbish live,
she can't sing well and it sounds like her show wasn't all live, guitars etc etc
and her voice was Live, but something didnt seem right, pretty sure there was
something going on to enhance the performance, i could only take 3 songs of hers
then i left.
