The first time I saw Twenty | One | Pilots was at a Neon Trees concert. I had no idea who was opening for them until I showed up at the concert and saw a plain piece of computer paper on the door that said twentyonepilots was the opening band. I had no clue who they were. Once they came out on stage to their usual Ode To Sleep, and their skeleton hoodies. I was definitely caught off guard. I looked to my girlfriend and was like what's going on, but then the transition from the unknown skeleton rap turned into this really light happy sound that I never heard before and completely changed my idea of what was going on. That moment was what hooked me. After that, my mind was pretty much blown away. Their set was awesome. The energy they had on stage was incredible. Right away after the show I downloaded their Regional At Best album which was their most current album at the time and just couldn't stop listening to them. The Lyrics were so deep and real.
I went and saw them again the next time they were in Michigan for a headline show which was also awesome. That show was so awesome that I drove a hour and a half to go see them play at Adrian college the next week. Where they were opening for Neon Trees again except this time I wasn't going to the show to see Neon Trees. Tyler and Josh stole the show. I totally held up Tyler during Holding on to you which was probably one of the coolest moments of my life. Then I was able to meet the guys after their set, and got their autographs and a picture.
I really wanted to say thanks to them because they really have had a strong influence on my life, but I didn't get the chance to. I had some rough times where I thought I couldn't pursue life, and Tyler's lyrics really helped me get through those tough times. Honestly, their music has really in a sense saved me. I can't thank them enough for what they do. It is truly an amazing movement that I am so proud to be a part and to have been able watch grow.
Now I will be seeing them again for the 5th time next Thursday in Grand Rapids which I am so stoked for. Being at their live shows are like a vacation for my mind. Being in that environment is a feeling that is amazing to say the least. It truly feels like you are part of the band during their shows. The energy they have on stage seems to radiate out into the crowd. Being in a room full of a bunch of people screaming that they are happy that they are alive is something incredible to be a part of.
Thank you, Twenty | One | Pilots |-/
