Saw the show with the Ready Set, Boys Like Girls, and AAR...
Ready set was pretty good, not my style of music...
Boys like Girls was amazing!!! Very good with getting the crowd excited, great music, got right down by the people in front and sang right by them. Even called a girl up from the crowd to sing with him. Vocals were great, very personable, great music. Loved them, every one in the concert was raving about how good they were...wish they would have played longer. I'm wasn't a hard core Boys like Girls listener, but now after hearing them in concert I will be!!! Excellent band, thanks guys keep up the good work!!!
All American Rejects was -VERY- disappointing. They were the ones we were most pumped to see...he came out and was obviously drunk and stoned. Was forgetting his own lyrics, his voice was terrible...writhing on the floor which messed up his singing even more. The rest of the band was good, good guitar solos ect. But Tyson RUINED it...
Not to mention he was very vulgar like if i was a parent I would NOT TAKE MY CHILD TO SEE IT...Like other reviews said he did swear the F bomb alot, but it was the vulgarity that really made me mad...He was talking about going to strip clubs, saying humiliating things about girls ect...having group sex at clubs with his band. Obviously guys do stuff like that, but to say it in front of a huge crowd with little kids? I was shocked. The singing and vulgarity was so annoying we left, as we were leaving there were lots of other people leaving too...even the 18ish girls and guys in front of us said it was a "disaster". Our whole group of friends (13 of us) left after the 5th song. Even the guys in our group who have attended a lot of rock concerts said they have never seen the like. If AAR would have invited a girl up to stage from the crowd like Boys Like Girls did I would be afraid for the girl that Tyson would start groping her on stage...lol. It was so awful, i have lost all respect for them as a band, and it has ruined their music for me. I will never listen to them in the same way again. Save your ears some pain and don't go to AAR, and if your parents and don't want to have to explain to your 8 yr old what a bunch of these explicit sex references are don't take them...
If your going to attend this concert, go for The Ready Set...Boys Like Girls...but don't be shocked if your dissapointed by AAR...
