Atreyu Slow Burn Piano Music

Instantly we clicked bust station and started talking like friends INSTEAD of strangers, it WAS so great. After

Everyone Was there, we still Had to wait like two hours for Eve to eat, pick us up and take us to the Auditorum VIA SUBWAY. I Was kinda excited to ride the subway, I will not lie, But I did not know it'd Be So tiring lol. It's like a huge maze and There's a lot of walking and going up and down stairs, But It Was Fun Though Because We Were all amazed by it.



Kool Kidz in the subway. The girl behind Daniel is Eve, Our tour guide! XD

After riding the subway 30 minutes we got to the National Auditorium, at around 12:00 p.m. We Rested for a bit and saw That not a lot of people Were There yet so Eve suggested we go to the Chapultepec Zoo, a famous zoo in Mexico city, which was only like 10 minutes away from the Auditorium and there we could pass the time and get something to eat.



The National Auditorium.



The Chapultepec lake inside the zoo. So very, very pretty.



It had been son long since I had Mc Donald's. The fries were good. <3



My sis with a big panda lol.

So we did that, walked some more, got tired a bit more and headed back to the Auditorum at aprox. 3:30 p.m. Whe we got there we saw that more people had arrived and I actually saw Gabo and Macarena, two mexican MTV VJ's,ushing people lol.


The Auditorium's lobby.



Alma with her ticket and Shannon's signature on her hand, waiting in line.


Inside the Auditorium's lobby, waiting in line. The red doors shown lead to the set of stairs in the next picture.




As you can see, the people in front of us at least were seating down on the stairs, we had to wait standing up. FREAKING NIGHTMARE because we were so tired by then.


The red doors you see in the back are the entrance to the Auditorium, that's where the madness happened and I was actually crushed against those doors when we got in. The guards helped me though and pulled me out lol.

There Were Once inside two pit areas on Each side of the stage, we ended up in the left pit InFront RIGHT OF THE STAGE motherfucking. It Was Unreal, Alma and I Look at Each Other and Were like OH MY GOD WE'RE TOUCHING THE STAGE WITH OUR HANDS. Incredible I tell you.




This Was Our view of the stage.



View of the back of the Auditorium.

We Stood There in the pit for about half an hour more, TIRED AS HELL, and the guards Would not let us sit down at all. In the pit we met two dudes and a girl Who Were Also Echelon But We Did not see anywhere else in normal line and They Were pretty cool. We Were the only five Echelon in the pit, and everyone else WAS or something. The whole sketch was so bizarre, no one saw it coming. They threw Billy in the air and started wrestling on stage, and we were all like ".... o_O wtf". Then some mexican wrestelers came out and "saved" Billy lol. Again, bizarre. After that was over, the whole band came out and said "So you want one more song!?" And they proceded to play Zero, the only song I knew fully lol, and it was a nice ending to their set, everyone went wild with that song.
A few pics of the Smashing Pumpkins






[info] One band down, I thought. My legs and back were killing me, we were sooo tired. And the guards finally saw it hipster fans. But anyway, a few pics of Zoe just because.







They didn't do encore, thank Godga.
AND SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Mars was finally up next. I can't even begin to describe the feeling of anxiety and excitement that came over me when I saw the technicians setting up their equipment. Alma and I are were just like "OMG THEY'RE NEXT OMG THEY'RE NEXT!!!" They took about 20 min. setting up everything, which were the longest 20 min eeeeeveeeeer. Gabo came out and gave out more stuff, and kept teasing us about Mars, but we took the time to rest for a bit.

The white curtain they use was pulled down and we could see a lot of movement from behind it techinicians Until FINALLY, at 11:00 pm, THE LIGHTS WENT OFF THE LIGHT AND JUST BEHIND THE CURTAIN WAS LEFT ON. Everyone screamed so loud! Neither the Pumpkins normal reaction Zoe That could've gotten. It Was insane! Escape started playing and the whole auditorium roared. Could we hear Shannon's drums and theeeenn omg, I saw the freaking theeeeeen blonde mohawk Through the curtain slowly getting closer to the mic. I swear I've Never Been so excited about anything in my life Than Ever Before When I Saw That head of hair. The feeling it's


indescribable. Volume


's guitar and in the middle Jared's shadow. The Thiiiiiiiiiis iiiiiis

waaaaaaar scream at the end of Escape WAS SO & nbsp;epic, and Jared stood there while we did it like the BOSS he is. The sight of him, flesh and blood, was the most amazing feeling ever. He was there! Like.. THERE! A few meters away from ME! I know I sound so freaking pathetic, but seriously it was just so unreal and beautiful.
Night of the Hunter started and it felt like the whole venue caught fire, Jared was screaming "Jump, jump, jump!" and I think literally everyone was jumping. The feeling of euphoria was surreal. By the time the Mars set started I was almost dead beat. I couldn't jump for that long because my legs hurt so bad, so while I catched my breath I took pics and videos. I know I'm gonna sound like the biggest fangirl
I am
but the three of them are DIVINE. Pictures don't do them justice, they're so amazing! Jared was wearing the tighest jeans lol and his ass looked so nice! I was dying slooooowlyyyy from that sight. Shannon has the biggest arms ever, and his tattoo is beautiful. Tomo was right in front of me and rocks the guitar like no other, his hair was epic and he just looked like a rock god.
Attack was next and I seriosuly didn't think they were gonna play it, so it was a nice surprise because it's one of my favourite songs from them. Vox Populi followed and I think this was the song he played with Artemis. THAT GUITAR IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO EPIC. Seeing it up close just makes it 10000 time more beautiful. When he sang the line "... ever wanted just STOP!" They actually stopped and Jared started talking about how much he that! It made it 100000 times more Powerful. Next Was A Beautiful Lie, everyone saaaaaang loud omg! This is War and at the next WAS Beginning Jared made us Our fist pump in the air and repeat like 20 times "iis waaar Thiiis! Iis Thiiis waaar! "God, the energy When We Were doing That Was incredible! And to top it all off, when to the last chorus of TIW A MASSIVE TRIAD started SLOWLY CAME DOWN FROM BEHIND THE JARED celing. THING THAT THEY USED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MEXICO! IIIII EEEEEEEEEEPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC TEEEEEELLL YOUUUUUUUUUUUU! Omg, I'm getting chills
.

















ing spent the most amazing day with the most amazing people.

Some more details:

I took some of the confetti as souvenir lol.
Jared said "Gracias!" at the end of every song and I diiiiieeed.
At some point he said "Te quiero" refering to Mexico.

Shannon jumping is adorable.
Vicki took a pic of Tomo from my side of the stage but I didn't see her. :/
I could see part of Jared's torso when he lifted his hands and jacket and I diiiieeeeeeed.

I only saw Tim once I think, cuz he spent the whole show in the opposite corner far, far away from me.

Jared forgot the lyrics of Vox Populi; he started the first verse of the song with ".. ever wanna be free!" which is the second verse lol. It was so adorable because he did notice, made a funny face but kept going and let us sing lol. Bless him.

As I've always said, Mars is a different kind of band. It goes waaaay beyond music, and it's more about a sense of belonging and a community that is there for you no matter what. We are united by something so special and so valuable that it's really hard to describe unless you've felt it for yourself. It's something that I will cherish forever, and that I want to be part of until they day I die. The Echelon and Mars have given me inspiration, strenght, awesome friends, a place where I feel welcome and I think that is the most important thing. It's not only music, and records, and shows, it goes waaay deeper and there's no price for that
Can't wait to see this shit on tv goddamn!

Oh and also, while browsing JaredLetoOnline for pics of the WS I found one where you can see my hand, it'll give you a good idea of where I was
:




And lastly a few short clips I managed to record:
