The Black Brightest Day
Four years ago, the day faded to black, and for me it's still being the last time.
It was in
Santiago, Estadio Nacional specifically, and was the time for Black Sabbath to
make the night. They started in 1968, and very soon the world knew that a new
genre was created. Metal.
I went there with
2 friends, Cristobal and Sergio (school friends) and it supose that my best
friend would be there too, but he never came.
Anyway, there was
2 other bands warming the thing until get dark, so then, in the middle of the
night an emblem appeared covered by flames and exploded the scream of the
crowd. I was 30 meters away from stage, and the crowd moved one side to the
other, violently, I Couldn't breathe, but anyway, I put my arms as sharp as I
could and I started to advance between the people when a gap appeared.
Three songs later
I was looking Ozzy, Tommy and Gizzer just in front of me. I sang as loud as I
could, I couldn't rise my arms (and seriously I was very surprised by that),
someone stepped my foot and took me out my shoe, a man was recording and
another hit his hand and his phone flew away. Ha ha, a mess.
And just in the
middle of that commotion, Ozzy talked and said: "The next song, you can
sign if you want". War Pigs started. I wanted to record it, but I
remembered the man and his phone, so I just entered to the mosh. It was the
climax for me, I was living a crazy dream.
After that I was
all sweated, people looked at me while I was leaving the crowd. I bought a lot
of beers, I didn't knew where my friends was, so I started to walk between the
people, talking with them while the band were playing better songs, and I found
a friend, Corvi, from the school too, so we stay together 'til the end of the
concert.
I found another
friend while I was searching Cristobal and Sergio, and then my best friend
called me and said: "Oe, guess who was listening' the concert on the
street?, I found a group of punkies that wanted to enter to the concert the
damned way, but we couldn't, so we bought some beers and sang outside the
stadium, ha ha, like wolfs howling at the moon".
