Negative in Harderwijk

2009-03-28T14:24:24Z

When I heard about Negative doing a show in the Netherlands I didn’t believe it. 4,5 years I have been dreaming about them to playing here. Two years ago I gave up hope. And then someone tells me they’re playing in Eindhoven. I laughed it off and forgot all about it, until I was on their site for some unknown reason and there were actually two gigs planned in NL. Harderwijk and Eindhoven. I remember sitting here, staring at those two lines on the screen for about fifteen minutes and then I just freaked out.

Until one week before the first show in Harderwijk I still didn’t really believe it was real. But then I started to get nervous. It’s been over 1,5 years since I saw them last. And that was still with Sir Christus. I had NO idea what to expect and I was so scared it was gonna be really awkward. The day of the gig I left home at 12 and then met up with Sonja, Lenny and Sanne on the way and Coco joined us in Harderwijk. We got to the venue around 4pm and there were already three girls waiting. For two of them it was their first Ngt show and they were there since 9AM already. Crazy girls. The weather was absolutely HORRIBLE and I was surprised they survived. Sanne left us around 5 already again, it was too cold for her. By then there were some more people already. Some Germans and some Finns. No more Dutch people…

Oh I should probably say as well that we saw Nakki and Jonne walking to the bus and everyone just stood there like… well nothing really. Why am I always the only one to embarrass herself by screaming and running and all that? Fakk… Anyways. Jonne and Nakki sneaked in the bus before we could talk to them but I did manage to get Lauri to give me some attention. We talked a bit and this and that and we asked him where the coffeeshop was: ‘somewhere over there… Nakki has the address I dunno.’ LoL! I love Lauri. Then I asked him if maybe he could talk with the other guys about maybe playing Secret Forgiveness for us tonight or at the Eindhoven gig. First he looked at me like ‘is that even one of our songs?’ and then he remembered and said they probably couldn’t cause noone knew how to play it anymore but MAYBE Jonne could do it acoustic. He’d ask him at least and we’d see that night what Jonne thought haha. Then he ran in the bus as well cause they needed to sleep.

When we finally were allowed to go inside there were about 70 people I think. The support was gonna play in the bar and Negative would play downstairs, where we couldn’t go before the support was finished. I absolutely LOVED the support act. The Clementines; www.theclementines.nl, listen them and love them. Thank you. xD

Ok so me being drunk at Negative gigs has already proved before to be a not-so-good-thing… in Harderwijk I managed to be outside of the fakking venue, smoking a cigarette and trying to talk German while everyone else got to go downstairs to see Negative. Jay! Lol. Still managed to get second row tho so all was good. I think Negative started late but I can’t be sure since I only know they ended half an hour later than they were supposed. When NGT came on stage there were about 150 people there, all for them. It was so great! So much more than we all expected. Eventho only have of them people was Dutch.

Anyways… amazing concert!! It’s been 1,5 years since I saw them last and I really had no idea what to expect with Kris not being there anymore. But to be honest I didn’t even miss him that much. Jonne is so hyper on stage and also Antti does enough to keep you entertained. Jonne sounded a bit off and this show was definitely not the best ever but seeing that the guys had so much fun made it so much better. Everyone was dancing and singing along. And then Jonne got his acoustic out… “we try to do something special for each show… and tonight I got this song for you…” AND HE DID FAKKING SECRET FORGIVENESS!!!! JAAAAYYY!!!!! Only the first half tho and then he didn’t know the lyrics anymore and he started playing some random tune before doing Sinä ja Minä… it was fun! I can’t believe Lauri actually asked him and that Jonne actually played the song I asked for. I’m so in love with him for that right now.

About the other songs… I don’t really remember everything exactly. Just that it was all so great. I was really excited about them doing Naive. And yes I know they do that song at every show but imo it is still the best live song ever.

What else is there to say… Antti wore the coolest shirt EVER. Nobody knows I’m a lesbian. I love that guy. Jonne looked pretty as ever and… I dunno. It was a good show! Not much more I can say about it right now haha. After the show I got the setlist from Antti. I’m really happy with that. I collected everything possible from this first NGT gig in NL, so the setlist was cool. xD

After the show ended we had to leave right away. But we KNEW the guys would come out later on so Lenny stopped us “think about it for a minute… go now, catch the train, get home and regret not staying here forever. OR stay here?” easy easy. We stayed. LoL. Boys came out around 12 I think it was. There were still about 20 people waiting for them and it was a lot of fun. Jonne was soooo adorable. I love him so much. Lauri was wasted and we didn’t really get to talk with him. Nakki scared me to death, creeping up behind me like that. Omg.

Oh and I of course gotta tell you about Jay. As you all might know I LOVE Jay. I cant possibly tell you why but I just adore him. So during the show we were screaming for him the whole fucking time. Everyone was so annoyed by us but the guys didn’t seem to mind so we didn’t either haha. Anyways, after the show he came out and I ran off. I was so scared to talk with him. So he went in the bus and we thought he wouldn’t come out anymore. But then this girl that joined them this tour, Jenny, she went in and told him to come out cause there were some crazy people that wanted to meet him haha. So he came out and I tried to hide behind Sonja but that didn’t really work. He found me and I just jumped him and then we had some pix and I didn’t know what to tell him so I just stared and all. Lenny asked him if he minded us going all crazy over him and he said he thought we were ‘incredible’! Aaaahhhh!!! But then he sneaked off again haha. Asshole.

So I think it was around half past 1 in the morning when they finally left us alone and we could relax for a couple of hours in the freezing cold. Some might think we’re stupid or whatever for doing that but… it was so worth it.

It's time to think about me for once.
I don't care what people think anymore.
I'm gonna do what I want.
Whether you like it or not.
Fuck you.

This is your newborn universe

I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.
They're in my head. I'm so ugly. But that's ok.
'Cause so are you. We've broke our mirrors.
Sunday morning. Is everyday for all I care.
And I'm not scared. Light my candles.
In a daze cause I've found god.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah.....

I'm so lonely. And that's ok.
I shaved my head. And I'm not sad, and just maybe
I'm to blame for all I've heard. And I'm not sure.
I'm so excited. I can't wait to meet you there.
And I don't care. I'm so horny. But that's ok. My will is good.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah.....
