Eicca - Photo taken at the concert and then photo-manipped by NiNi
“White spotlights appeared one at a time to highlight each player as he launched into the enigmatic opening strains of the title track from Worlds Collide. The cheers built to a deafening crescendo as Mikko’s thunderous toms launched the song’s first explosive synchronized cello riffs. I felt a physical blast of compressed air from the amp stacks as the low-end vibrations kicked in, hammered home by a machine-gun double kick.”
-From G9’s FEARnet Review

I have never in my life experienced a concert more perfectly than at Apocalyptica’s very first show in Dallas, TX [at the House of Blues]. At first, I was just going to string together a few videos and a bunch of photos my new-found front-row friend Shelby had captured on her camera, but then… this video just took me on an artistic journey of its own, and I couldn’t stop it [nor did I want to]! Enjoy this fan documentary, and let me know what you think of the video. Finally, if you ever get the opportunity to see these guys in concert, don’t let it pass you by… it’ll be one of the best shows of your life, I promise.

Have you seen Apocalyptica live? What do you think of the band? What are some of your favorite Apo songs? Who is your favorite band member? Register -free- to share your thoughts with me here!

  1. Shelby thinks it was a great concert…what else but seend a killer show and making new friends? Not only friends, but kick ass musicians, and a great cook ;) I will have my french toast without the burnt coil, please.

    So, after having seen Apo 3 times, I think things just can’t get any better. I hope they can continue to be able to stay on a personal level with their fans. My favorite song right now is Struggle, cause I feel like that a lot. But it is easier to give my list of songs I don’t like, it is much shorter. As for my fav band member…he be the same as your ;) Love you guys!
