The All-American Rejects

Now, I must admit I was ashamed to go to this concert because it exemplifies everything that I hate about what "rock music" has come to now. After saying this, I went to the concert anyway because it was a Friday night and I had nothing better to do at that point anyway and I got a floor ticket for only $5. So I went going with expectations so low that I couldn't possibly be disappointed. When I got there, I realized how close I actually was to the stage and figured that it was at least the closest I have ever been at a concert. The first band to come out was Damone, who I had only heard of by name before, but never knew any of their songs but they were surprisingly better than I thought they would be. So after they were done I figured that maybe the show wasn't going to be that bad after all, and then Ima Robot came on. I've never heard of them before and after they were done I wish that I still had not heard of them. The only thing I have to say about them was that there drummer was actually pretty good but nothing else was very good. The next band that came out was Under the Influence of Giants. They came and just by the way they looked I had a bad feeling about it. Surprisingly they were also not that bad and I ended up wanting to listen to some more of their music after. When they left stage, I knew the only band left was the All-American Rejects. Now like I had said before, I really didn't care much for their music eventhough I did find a few songs catchy. They were represented all the no-talent new "rock bands" coming out now a days whose music was filled with a bunch of power chords and two note basslines and whose "solos" could be played by 5 year olds. Despite all this they did put on a good show and I came away more impressed with them than I thought they would be, but I still wouldn't pay more than $5 for a ticket.
