Slipknot @ Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam

Seriously still cant believe I actually saw Slipknot live yesterday. Ever since I was 12/13 I've been a fan of this incredible band, but I never had the chance of seeing them live. I was either a little too young or too broke. But after 13.fucking.years. I finally got to see them.
And holy fucking shit.

They were fucking flawless. I cant even remember the first song they were playing cause I was literally overwhelmed. I was looking forward to this moment for so many years and now it was actually there right in front of me. They played so many of my favorite songs, the stage looked amazing and overall it was just one big awesome experience. I didn't know where to look. Liiiittle bit dissapointed that they didn't play Vermillion and Wait and Bleed, cause those are my absolute favorites, but oh well. (Wait and Bleed was the first song I ever heard of them, so that one's really special to me, would've loved to hear that one live.)

It looks like I'm really far away, but I wasn't. I usually go stand on the balcony, because I'm a tiny girl who can't see shit on floorlevel and I'm also scared of moshpits :'). Pics arent great cause I had to use my phone, my other camera broke :(. 

The absence of both Joey and Paul hit me like crazy though. I've been a really big fan of the little drummer with the black and white mask ever since I started listening to Slipknot and I will love Joey Jordison forever, no matter what he's up to. But not seeing him on stage with Slipknot was horrible for me. He was the core of this band. The new drummer just.. It wasn't the same. It wasn't how its supposed to be. I fucking miss Joey and I seriously hope he'll return some day..

Thank god there was Sid, who actually made me feel better about above issue. I cracked myself up multiple times because of him, what a cute little bouncy figure he is! I loved watching him the most.

Was it everything I ever hoped for? No, because of Joey and Paul and not being able ever to see them in original formation breaks my heart, especially after growing up with this band. But this was already more than I could ever wish for. Slipknot has been and will always be one of my favorite bands ever. They mean so fucking much to me. I can't wait to see them again!
