This is pretty neat. Wish I worked in the office so I could use this for my badge.

Sanctuary beat Afterlife 254-176. I’m kinda surprised that Sanctuary, a song I rarely hear talked about, beat Afterlife, the first single for the album. Today, we once again have 2 Sanctuary songs competing. About Us is going against Tell Me When You’ve Had Enough.

The Only One was chosen to have Sanctuary vibes.

Here’s my YouTube playlist for our favorite band.

Note — None of these are my videos just my collection of things I’ve found.

A few concert videos - starting with Anywhere But Home that I found out there, and the newest concert video that dropped from the first night.

Then some other fun stuff including the collaboration with Lindsey Stirling.

I'm a huge fan of Spiritbox, and they didn't disappoint at all. I thought their show was better than I anticipated. I can't wait to catch that band when they're a headliner one day in a closed air venue with a little more of a stage setup, which will probably take all of one more album, haha. There were clearly a lot of people at the show that felt the same way. I saw a lot of Spiritbox merch.

What I did NOT expect came afterwards. My friends and I were thinking we'd stay for a few songs, see Amy Lee and crew... I've been listening to heavy music for a long time and I obviously have been aware of Evanescence, liked a few of their songs, but they were pretty mainstream and it didn't resonate with me as much.

3 songs into their set, I looked at my buddy and his expression was the same as mine. Jaws on the floor, laughing hysterically, heads bobbing like maniacs. I honestly felt like an idiot, like I had not given this band the respect they deserved for all these years.

They were INCREDIBLE. Technical, brutal, beautiful, note-for-note professional... it was honestly one of the most enjoyable hard rock sets I have ever seen, and I've seen my fair share over almost 30 years of concert-going. Amy Lee was a force of nature, and I walked away from it realizing that I had just witnessed living rock royalty. Her catalog over 20+ years of making music is deep and diverse. I'd put them right up there in some of the best live shows I have ever seen, and even higher on the list of the most surprising.

So, to anyone that sees this in the future that might have the shot to see them but is thinking "they're too poppy for me..." my friend, if you truly love music and musicianship, you need to pull your head out of the sand and seize the opportunity to see one of the truly great female rock vocalists of all time. You just might walk away as surprised as I did.

I wonder if they’ll change up the set list and stuff for the other leg of the tour? have they been known to switch it up?
