ADTR was unbelievably good
by MikeWhalen on 11/6/10The Norva - NorfolkThe show was great overall, mainly due to ADTR and The Word Alive. The opening band, Close Your Eyes, was decent but couldn't get the crowd into it. Their stage presence was lacking and they had their people misplaced. The bass player had a great scream and guitar player could sing, but the lead singer was terrible. The Word Alive came on next and tore it up. They got the crowd involved and had everyone going which was awesome considering most people never heard of them. Underoath sucked. Bottom line. They were so bad people went outside to smoke until they finished. Fancy lights doesn't make you a good performer. Lastly, ADTR killed it. They played at least 15 songs and everyone of them had the entire place jumping. The crowd participation was incredible. I have never been to a show where the crowd was this into it. The pits were huge as well. Their sound was great and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. It isn't something I can put into words. I'll see them again next time, no matter the price.
