"One more time, Zacky. We're recording this show, that's why we amped up the theatrics."
"I still don't get this whole thing." Zacky mumbled as he walked away. I kicked back on our tour bus and wondered if I would be able to get some sleep on the way to long beach.
We rode into the stadium, and I thought. Who would ever come to see us? The misfits from Huntington Beach? The ones who were always picked on? The ones who stood out, but always blended in all at the same time? I was answered by screaming from fans crowding the road, just to get a peek into the windows of the bus. There were literally hundreds of them. And they were all here to hear me, and my band. Holy crap, this is really happening.
Oh yeah, this was happening all right. Because if I thought that the people outside the bus were cool, I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked out to the stage. The lights were blinding, well, if I hadn't had my sunglasses on, they would have been blinding. But again, my life could get just a little bit more awesome. I was used to fans clapping, whooping and oohing when their favorite song was about to be played, but what happened when the intro to afterlife played? That was truly, unreal. I know about pick your cliché and all but, the crowd went absolutely wild. But the craziest thing was, the entire band, even I, was completely chill.
"We're about to sing you a ballad!" Zacky yelled and of course, Johnny started to sing the seize the day. He completely made a goof out of it, were more the words. But it was okay, and it was funny, and the crowd loved it anyway. Yep, our rhythm guitarist, Zacky V, he was a trip. But so was Synyster, the lead guitarist. And Johnny, the bassist for this wonderful band. But alas, none of them could hold a candle to Jimmy. He's the life of this band. He writes, he plays drums, he sings, he's just a cool guy to be around. What else could a band ask for? What more could band ever want or need?
We finished up that romantic little song, Little Piece of Heaven, and walked off stage. After that, we as you would know, went to the bus and hit the sack. And don't you know it, we were tired dang it. Well, all of us except, Zacky. Don't ever ask anyone of us how he has all that energy, because we couldn't tell you. I guess it just worked that way. Once we all get to sleep, wake up, and come to our senses, we should be back in Huntington, like this concert never happened. Then again, we recorded this one… this is never going away, not that it needs to. And with that, I closed my eyes, said my prayers, and went. To. Sleep.
