*sigh* Alright. Hmm I came at the show near 15:00, you know, to get a fine place. We were four, actually, near the front of the door, almost firsts in the line-up. However, we had ordered our tickets with the pre-order stuff. Once the doors opened, we had to get in another line-up for our tickets, but they didn't find them! After a while (during that time, people were entering), they realized it was another kind of ticket, and that we should have told them about it (which we didn't know).
So there! We finally enter, and the front bar is already full of people. Without the tickets delay, we would have been right on it, damn. So whatever, we decide to go in the second row, near the middle of the scene. Alright, good, we have a nice view, but we already realize the guy in front of us is a pure asshole (there's two girls in front of me : my girlfriend and a friend, they are tiny heh, and the guy just refuses that my girlfriend puts her hand on the bar so she doesn't die. She had to tell him that she didn't want his place before he accepted. Ridiculous). Anyway, Enslaved arrives, I'm very happy, and their performance is just great. People don't know them so much, so they don't push or anything. I have some space to headbang. Enslaved is done, they leave, and people are already pushing to get to the front, because it's very important to see Mikael as big as possible, and to show him how much you love him. And then they arrive. I'm happy, but getting mad at the same time, because I'm just unable to move.
...and during a song, I think Ghost of Perdition, there's a fucking asshole (tall one) who just shows up, and pushes my friend (the other guy) away, and go behind my other friend (the girl one). I think she is traumatized. The guy just jumped on her, he put his arm totally on her head, and there was no way she could see anything, or that she could move. She almost suffocated. But that's not all. The guy is actually fucking excited, and is jacked when seeing Mikael Akerfeldt. He starts yelling... wow... stupid stuff :
"MIKAEL! MIKAEL! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU MIKAEL! HEY MIKAEL! MIKAEL! HOW DO YOU FEEL, MIKAEL!? HEY MIKAEL, HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?" or later, when the singer started to talk about Sweden "MONTREAL!!! MONTREAL!!!".
I guess you get it. So she had his dick right in the back, and during that time, me and my friend are trying to push him away with our elbows. Near impossible, there's just no place. Finally, between two tracks, the girl managed to escape and just went away. To me, it was just unpleasant. I couldn't move, I was over-sweating, and I just couldn't enjoy the show this way, so I want upstair and watched the show from distance. It's less exceptional, but at least I could enjoy.
Hey that was a big useless story. Dot.
