Kings of Leon V.S Imagine Dragons

KINGS OF LEON vs. IMAGINE DRAGONS,

so i was lucky enough to of had the opportunity to see both of these incredible bands live one week after the other. So the first show I saw was the Kings of Leon Show down at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. I even have some photos I took at the show you can check out below. Now these boys were absolutely phenomenal. Everything from the sound to the live stage performance was amazing. Caleb's vocals were spot on and the harmonies between Caleb (Lead Singer/Guitar) and his brother Nathan (Drummer/Background Vocals) were very tight. They started the show with a song called Charmer from one of their earlier albums I believe it was "Because of the Times" released in 2007. This song really set the tone of the show as it was up beat and really got the crowd moving. They then continued to play past hits throughout the show such as Notion, Use Somebody, Radioactive, Back Down South, Pyro and Sex on Fire all of which are amazing tunes. Also they of course played songs off of their current album "Mechanical Bull" such as Supersoaker and Temple. All in all the show was amazing and is probably the second best rock show I have ever seen, next to the FOO FIGHTERS of course.

The following week I went and saw Imagine Dragons. Now this band was also amazing. Everything from the vocals, to the drums and overall stage performance was outstanding. Fronted by Dan Reynolds, this band is definitely one to keep an eye out for as they progress into their career and continue to create albums. His voice is so unique and really does work well for the style of music they play. They played songs such as On Top of the World, It's Time and my two favourites Radioactive and Demons. I will admit this band is not one of my "all-time favourites" I will admit they are really good and definitely recommend seeing them if you're into the alternative rock scene. 

At the end of it all i am going to have to say that Kings of Leon put on the better show, but this is because the Kings of Leon are one my favourite bands so yes this recommendation is biased haha

Current Events and Stuff

So these are the current events that will be happening this week for me

1. Wednesday is Kings of Leon, which i've been waiting to go to since Christmas. I can't believe its only a day away. It will definitely be an awesome musical experience.

2. Its hard to believe that yesterday the entertainment word lost a comedic legend. Harold Ramis had died at age 69, however is legacy still lives on. The creative works he had done in the 80's with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd were still awesome. The top movies include: the Ghostbusters, Caddyshack and Stripes. He had also earned writing credits for classics such as Meatballs, Animal House and Groundhog day as well as directed the National Lampoon's Vacation staring Chevy Chase. All in all this guy had an amazing career, its too bad he had to go.

3. Sochi Olympics are over, however the closing ceremonies were pretty wicked and Canada achieved gold in both men's and women's hockey. I find it kind of unfair how hockey over shadows pretty much every other olympic sport in the winter olympics. I mean for example women's hockey took gold, but so did the canadian women's curling team and they one 11 straight games in a row, yet the women's hockey team got more press. To me its kind of ridiculous. Along with this having professional athletes in the olympics should be banned. I'm talking specifically about the men's hockey team. The Olympics originally was about world class amateur talent that was up and coming rather than showcasing the stars who are already at the top. Hopefully they change this.

4. I can't believe that after this week I only have 7 week more weeks of class and then it's summer! man, time moves by so fast. I cannot wait until summer because aside from the fact I hate winter with a passion, I do a lot of outdoor activities such as cycling and cross training. Two of my favourite excersize activities and on top of that I love being outside during the summer I rarely stay inside. That is what winter is for.
