The Kids Love 'Em Too!

"All the parents are here and all the kids are at the [insert name of the kid here] concert."

But hey! Can't you see that the kids were the most enthusiastic attendees of the concert? We, the kids, love you and your music too. And we mean REAL music.

And I'll stand as a proof. I've been emailing PG since 2009, requesting the band to come over to the Philippines for a concert. This was long before the boom of concerts in our country. Imagine the desire, given that the creation of “What If” is still unknown to me that time. It’s praying for a seemingly impossible come back from across the borders. I have been lurking around online forums, signing in my name for petitions that might bring them here even with the slightest possibility. I also install applications in my websites which would request the band to play here in Manila, LIVE. Finally, my dream came true. May 10, 2011 (Tuesday) is the date I’ll never,  ever forget. And mind you, this post is not about Justin Bieber.

Mr. Big! Thank you so much! You made a 22-year old Filipina’s heart feel more than satisfied. I am so overwhelmed that I cannot even express how grateful I am both online and offline as I temporarily lose my voice from screaming to my heart’s content yesterday.

So I’ll just post few of the pics I took from my new cam (specially bought for this concert above all).

It has been a pleasure to hear from you guys. Thank you for the screaming guitars, booming bass, thundering drums, and killer vocals. I have always been in love with your kind of melodic rock. You give music meaning. No exaggerations.
