Celebrity Theatre Phoenix, AZ

Oh yes this was the best Fuel show I've ever been to! I had the greatest time! I went with one of my best friends, Lindsay, who moved to Texas. Background info: about 3 weeks before I had gotten into a car accident and was feeling really down. So I kept telling myself since this sucks so bad, I'm going to have a kick ass time seeing Fuel to make up for it, because I believe that if something really bad happens it's got to be followed by something equally good and same with the opposite. Okay back to the show, Lindsay and I had written the Edge radio station so many times asking for anything Fuel that they could offer we even offered to buy them gas get it Fuel, gas hehe. Then the afternoon before the show Lindsay got an email saying that we were on the list for a meet and greet. When we got to the show we hung out with some people from the edge and found out what we were supposed to do. We waited in line a long time, because I insisted on being there early. When we finally got in I bought lots of Fuel stuff (condom, shirt, poster, etc..) and ran to the front buy the ramp to the stage (Celebrity Theatre has a circular stage). First were Full Devil Jacket and then Nickelback. They were both good, but hey I'm there for Fuel. Ok time for Fuel. I was flipping out of course, first song was "Jesus Or A Gun" and Brett comes out right next to where I'm standing wearing the purple, fuzzy coat,the sunglasses, and the hat. So I'm just cracking up because he looked like a pimp. I had a great time being in the front because you get that oh so special eye contact with the band. During most of "Knives" it was basically like me and Brett singing to each other (god I love that song). Of course I was screaming out every beautiful word to every beautiful song. The set list was: "Jesus Or A Gun", "Knives", "Last Time", "Mary Pretends", "Scar", "Empty Spaces", "Bad Day", "Prove", "Down", "Innocent", "Shimmer", "Sunburn", "Bittersweet", "Untitled", and their encore was "Hemorrhage" and "Ozone". During the show I hink Kevin told Brett to give me a drumstick because they were talking and he pointed at me and then Brett walks over and hands me the drumstick so I'm not sure who picked me but THANK YOU. :) They kick so much ass! Also Carl started playing Def Leppard for some reason so Brett just starts singing "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and then he stops and says "Wait a minute our drummer has two arms" so Kevin starts playing with one arm (how cool is that!). When Brett started playing "Innocent" the guitar was tuned wrong or something and he got to like a certain chord and it sounded so bad, so he just starts laughing and calls out his guitar tech on it. It was so funny. After the show me and Lindsay ran out to her car to get stuff for them to sign and then we went to the met and greet. We went into this little room and sat down at a table. Then Brett comes around the corner with his pimp stuff back on acting like he's god. and then Carl came in and started shaking hands with everyone, but I couldn't conain myself I gave him a hug and told him how much I love his lyrics and his guitar playing. I also said something about how they only played their new stuff and how I really liked their old songs too like "Alive and Dying" and he's like "That's from a long time ago, I don't think I even remember how that song goes". Then Fuel sat at the table and we let the other people in there too get autographs first. I had them sign my Shimmer single plus they signed a poster for me (gotta love these guys). Brett said that he saw me singing along up front and remembered giving me the drumstick. I asked if he'd take a picture with me and he said sure then he sad something else bu I didn't get most of it because it was loud in there. Then I went down the line to the other boys. Jeff was next, I asked him how he was and we had some chitchat then I moved down to Carl and then Kevin (he seemed really exhausted) I thanked him for the drumstick. Then the people from the Edge were trying to rush us out, but I was like hey Brett promised me a picture. So I went back over to him and he said he'd get up to take a picture with me. Then I told him that he looked like a little pimp and he says "I am a pimp" and laughs (I luv his laugh) and he grabs me around the waist and pulls me toward him and does a funny pose. Then he squeezed me and put his face right in front of mine, looked me in the eye and said "Thank you". So I'm like "No Thank you".(I mean how nice is he to thank me) Brett Rules! After that the Edge pretty muched pushed me out of there because I don't remember moving my legs (I couldn't feel them). Ok thank you for reading this because it is very long. Back to Reviews
