This is the life on mars - 30 seconds to mars in Berlin, 5.5.2008

[aleya]

I was on the best concert ever this Monday - 30 seconds to mars in Berlin. Second row right before Tomo!!! It was so great...

but let's start with the beginning. My friends and I were at the concert hall by half past nine a.m. It was a really short night for me -.- But I met some friends again and the time we had to wait was soooo funny :-D Italian, american, russian, french and polish Echelon also came that soon. It's funny that I spoke more English than German that day *lol*
However, we had fun :-D

Yeah there was a boy!! It's quite unbelievable but true :-D and he was nice *hehe*

It was so hot my camera nearly died. I was lucky that my ticket wasn't damaged because the paper reacts to heat and moisture - and there was enough of both. So we were so happy to see some clouds...

At 4 pm the security started to build a barrier - too late as always :-( It seems that 30 always underestimates the fans. The security said that no barrier was planned and that they just got the order. We had to go back to the street and the fight for the best places started again. But my friends and I managed good places :-D

the left row

my row :-D I met some new friends here. I don't know if you'll ever read this but I can say I had so much fun that I don't even hate these Italian girls anymore :-D However, at 7 pm we went into the hall. Hm, perhaps "went" is the wrong word. It was horrible, painful, fast and some girls got so crazy they started to scream and push as hell. But I managed second row *is happy* There was more to complain about but I only can remember the good things :-D

The support was an electronic band named Full Duplex... I didn't like the music very much but the singer was quite hot.

The body is nearly as hot as Jared's. But this man (don't know his name) has a lot more hair... baaah...

Most people don't like Full Duplex but actually there have been some fans who enjoyed them very much.

Full Duplex

Great fans

I really enjoyed the support with these two girls *lol*
And then... I still can't believe it... the O fortuna again! I was so sad when I heard that they had a new intro for Portugal. I just love the Carmina Burana :-D I know the vid is really dark and you can't see anything but I wanted the sound - and I have it. I love it so much.

O Fortuna

The first song was a beautiful lie, great as always... Then a little bridge with a great Shan on the drums, followed by Battle of One. Shannon was sooooo amazing. You couldn't see much of him behind the drums but the song totally rocks. I don't know what the others did, I was totally fixed on Shan...

battle of one part 1

battle of one part 2

He was too far away for good pics but I always watch the vids *lol*

the first part of the setlist was so quite normal:
O Fortuna
A Beautiful Lie
Battle Of One
From Yesterday
Savior
Praying For A Riot ( instrumental )
The Story
R-Evolve

the story (part)

revolve (part)

Jared talks...

Then came Buddha for Mary... To be honest I can't remember much of the song because Jared came to the barrier! I was like "oh my god, just twenty centimetres more and I can touch him!" I was so... I can't describe it, it was just amazing. He came very deep, looked deep into the eyes of the believers next to him... Omg... I couldn't touch him but was totally overwhelmed nevertheless...

Buddha for Mary

OMFG Jared

Jared was too much for the technique, too, because someone killed the fuses *lol* Suddenly everything was dark, I think Jared's micro was the only thing that worked. To my surprise Jared did nothing but to catch his acoustic guitar and play some acoustic songs O.o I suspected that he would rather end the show like he did in Kesselhaus, Berlin, last year when there were technical problems. Fortunately my camera got used to the heat from hell and I was able to film everything *is sooo happy* He started with Under the pressure and Capricorn...

Capricorn

aaaaand... ECHELON!!! In full length! It was unbelievable, awesome, absolutely amazing. The song is so beautiful. But sometimes we were louder than him :-D and we had an echoe O.o It sounded really funny...

Echelon

He started to play the Kill, but stopped and explained he can't play it without the whole band so we had to scream them back.

the kill acoustic

They played The Kill once again, this time all together. And he came to the barrier again!! This time I came nearer to him, but still couldn't touch him because of two really big bit**es next to me. They were so huge but didn't think about to move an inch :-( But I could see him... *dies* I swear I didn't feel the heat, the pushing, the pain from the ellbows... And Jared isn't even my favourite! I don't want to think about what would happen with me if Shannon or Tim would jump into the crowd...

Then by Attack I made some really amazing Tomo-pics... He was so cute and I swear he smiled at me! I was taking a picture of him, when he looked in my direction. I waved and he waved back and smiled. And I'm sure he saw us rocking with him :-D

Jared talks again

SHANNON!!! Okay, you can't see much of him but he was there :-D



One of my favourite pics...













*breathless*







*fangirlmode on* Tschääääääääääääääääääreeeeeeeed *fangirlmode off*
btw.. I love his trousers. Too funny



guitarist war is hot... Couldn't take my eyes off from Timmy :-D







All I can see is the strange thing on his trousers O.o



*fangirlmode on* Tooooooooooooooooomooooooooo *fangirlmode off*







no need for fangirlmode now... *loves Shannon*







*fangirlmode on for a last time* Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmyyyy *fangirlmode off...* Look at his arms *drools*



Tomo's guitar :-D



btw.. the security was really nice...

okay the pics aren't all from attack but I can't sort them... Okay the last two songs were The Mission (AMAZING!!) and my favourite song - The Motherfucking Fantasy *lol*

oh my god, this song is so amazing... And I swear I thought he would sing the closer-part from NIN again but he didn't :-( But I loved it nevertheless. 

The best came at the end: Shannon showed his body *OMFG* He was soooo hot... *is overwhelmed*

Some more Jared-pics... the stripe on his trousers is so baaaaah...

We all met after the concert again..

She catched the stick :-) I'm happy for her... Two girls (the bit**** I told about earlier* catched another one and wanted to BREAK it!!! Because both wanted to have a piece... I nearly got mad and argued a lot with them. I swear I really hated the both of them. How stupid can a human be??

However, after some time my friends and I went to the main station. We had to wait some hours for the train but I thing it was really funny :-D A new friend of mine and I sang The Kill very loud and very wrong and got many confused looks but we had fun :-D Especially one man was funny. Okay, perhaps he was a little bit terrified when we both looked at him and sang "I am finished with you" in his direction... *whistles*

It was her first concert but she loved it... and I like her outfit :-D

the full setlist:

O Fortuna
A Beautiful Lie
Battle Of One
From Yesterday
Savior
Praying For A Riot ( instrumental )
The Story
R-Evolve
BUDDHA FOR MARY (naughty version )
Pressure( acoustic )
Capricorn acoustic
Echelon acoustic
The Kill partly acoustic & full band
Attack
THE MISSION
The Fantasy

I will upload the videos to megaupload later because I fear that photobucket cuts my files... the vids of the kill (whole band) and the fantasy are too big to upload them on photobucket, but I will upload them on megaupload, too. Just give me some time. Additionally I will zip the pics and upload them - without tags and original size. Feel free to download them, just give me credit when posting somewhere else ;-)

So this was one of my best concerts ever. I swear until the end of the support band I promised myself that I will never again visit a 30stm concert because of the brutality of some fans but now I hold another opinion :-D the next concert is mine, too :-D

Just some words at the end:

Do you live. Do you die. Do you bleed. For the fantasy.

i love your post/review.... it brought a smile to my face as i realized that's what i use to do; wait in lines all day, get mad at the psychos at the show, wear my 'gear', getting beat up in the crowd, and most importantly, the time i spent with my friends :D

i just love the excitement and thrill that you convey in this.... it makes me want to go to a show right now :P

[eisflackern.livejournal.com]

I totally know what you mean :-D the time we have to wait is always so funny :-D And I want to go to a show again, too lol

[(Anonymous)]

Awesome! The boards are down but now thanks to you I got the setlist :) (I had the order wrong at some points) really amazing night, great photos you've got there! (ha, I can see a tiny me in one of the 'waiting' photos)

I loooove the motherf*cking-fantasy!

ps, the Dutch echelon was also there :) I'm Dutch and those bitches you mention are Dutch too (bleh). They told me about the stick, even showed it, broken in 2, what a shame.

xxx

Re: wow what a night!

[eisflackern.livejournal.com]

They really broke it??? Omg, I prayed that they wouldn't success. I argued a lot with them. I mean I would give anything to have a stick fom Shan and they break it *head --> wall* They just don't deserve it *cries* the world is sooo cruel. But I swear if I see them again at the next concert I will have some new curses for them *baaaah*

But I'm sorry that I didn't mention the Dutch Echelon ;) I tried to recognize the languages but there had been some I didn't know.

Re: wow what a night!

[(Anonymous)]

They actually didn't succeed with their bare hands.. so they asked a security guy to break it. he was like: whuat?! break it?! ok... (even the security thought it was stupid) such a shame!

hahah thats ok, there where so many nationalities!

anyway, if you want some photos, I could send them.. I'll have to upload them first... ok done :P heres a link, hope it works!

omg these pics are awesome!!!! I'll download them when I'm back home (I'm currently sitting in the PC lab of my university) and of course I won't post them somewhere else. But they are just great... Jareds eyes nearly killed me...

And I hate these stupid motherfuckers so much :-( I hope I'll never see them again...

Re: wow what a night!

[eisflackern.livejournal.com]

ah I forgot something...

By looking at the waiting photos from you a friend and I recognized that you had to sit really near to us... could you show me who you are on my waiting photo? I'm sure I'd seen you :-D

[callili.livejournal.com]

thanks for the review. sounds like it was a fun night (like any 30 show ^^ ) but I still don't regret I didn't go =)

[eisflackern.livejournal.com]

I have to admit I wonder where you had been but I read your journal entry and it's totally okay :D Maybe we see us again someday :-D Wish you all the best with your boyfriend :-D I'm really happy for you

[p1nktarantula.livejournal.com]

aw, that must have been fun, but i have to ask, how is the closer part in the fantasy included?

[eisflackern.livejournal.com]

in Dublin Jared sang a part of closer during the fantasy (I wanna f**k you like an animal etc) and he behaved like he wanted to do it again in Berlin. I mean the flirting and how he walked :-) But the song was awesome nevertheless :-D

[p1nktarantula.livejournal.com]

ooooooooh. *imagines*

[one-little-way.livejournal.com]

however, I was so happy to see them again, I hope they will start a new tour soon...

[one-little-way.livejournal.com]
