Damn that man is gorgeous in real life. I mean seriously. He had some new guitars that I had never seen before. There was a Fender guitar that was white and then one I think was a Fender that has a dragon on it, its in black and the guitar is white. He was wearing a black tshirt with some kind of metallic gold lettering that I can't remember what it said. Or what the front design was. He was wearing gray shorts that go past his knees...I'm not sure what you'd call them and some black boots. He was wearing a cool VAMPS wrist band. It was black and white but not like the regular ones. Then he was wearing a regular one too.

Every time he got into the music I couldn't help but get into it too. He has such a stage presence that puts me in total awe! He is such a great guitarist and especially after seeing him live! WOW! My ear is still ringing from the amp next to me HA!

But MY GOD KAZ IS SO GORGEOUS IN PERSON!!!

Hyde said he "I love the steep hills" WTF I HATE THE HILLS HERE!!and "I love clam chowder" LOLOL "Yummy"

Ju-ken was awesome as well. He wore the VAMPS top hat and had "VAMPS" on his cheek. He was wearing a black tank top with I think white letters on it. I can't remember what it said. His pants were black and I have no idea what shoes he was wearing.

Jin had heavy eye make up and a black (what it appered to be) leather jacket. His hair was spiked up and that's basically all I saw of Jin haha.

Arimatsu I couldn't see him at all because of where I was at. However for the encore he did come out shirtless. I remember that. Oh and Juken took the top hat off for the encore too..

That really sucks that you didn't get kaz's pick........ Are you going to the other shows for a second chance?

Hyde! How could you?! You cheated on Boston by complimenting their chowder. We invented that!

Yes I have 3 more chances.

@Everyone: Thanks for the reviews!

Hide Away, I haven't listened to that song in forever. Though, I'd still pick 'hello' over it~

No I didn't get to meet Kaz in San Francisco. I am making him a book and I want to give it to him but I'm not sure when I should. If I should wait til LA (if there is going to be a signing) or give it to him tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get a pick!! I want one or 4 or 5 how many ever LOL.

Hyde also said that another reason that he liked San Francisco was because it had Hyde street.

He did his signature "Are you fucking ready" and then did it a second time. This time before he got to the word "fucking" he briefly stopped and said it in a high falsetto tone and then went back to normal speech on the word "ready". I think he really enjoys that phrase. :)

"pick up the pieces to my brain"....lol....that about sums it up. I am truly exhausted and we have the "it's only a five hour drive to LV" to do tomorrow morning.
After the show, I was interviewed by a local Japanese/American newspaper (randomly picked from people leaving) but I dont' know what they will print. I gushed about the concert and yes, I was following the band for the last of the shows. VAMPS received the highest of praises, of course.

X-D Thanx for giving life to that moment!!! I could almost feel the crowd pushing and hear the feedback ;w; I can totally see HYDE saying that!!!

I had fun, though I'll say this wasn't one of my favourite LIVES. Really the thing that I didn't like was how crazy the crowd was, I felt like I was at Slim's. I was in like the fourth row, and once they came out, I could not move and was pushed a lot. By just the second song I was already super hot and needing water and air. But as I drifted through the crowd I ended up like two rows back, but I actually liked my new spot because I could see so much better and there was no pushing and a lot of space to move.

But VAMPS gave a good performance, once I was in this new comfortable spot I was enjoying the songs more, and dancing hardcore. LOL And they were all so handsome. I got spat on by HYDE twice to. *haha* His MCs were funny to, I remember when was talking about clam chowder, and I was laughing then I said it out loud to my sister, and I heard someone say "oh clam chowder", I guess he wasn't very understandable. I really liked how "TROUBLE" sounded LIVE too, it was like a freakin' party~ And when my song "SEX BLOOD ROCK N' ROLL" started I went into crazy mode. *haha* I was kind of like "wow..." when HYDE sat at the front of the stage creating a lovely scene for "SWEET DREAMS" as it was beginning to start. I was kind of disappointed that people were screaming while it was going on, kind of took away from it's sereneness. Also this LIVE is the first LIVE I've been to where I was aware of cameras, so I thought that was cool.

Though another thing, is it me or did the mic sounded kinda weird? Like the music sounded louder than HYDE's singing a lot. I thought that was weird. I heard him, but really could hear "blow me away" vocals like I do on videos. My sister also mention how she felt that it wasn't super exciting, I kinda agree. I wish HYDE took his shirt off. *haha* I haven't seen that so far, he didn't do that back at the Fillmore in '06 either!
Sorry if this sounds too complainy or anything. My friend and I also made a video of the line which I'll put on youtube sooner or later.

They also played "I GOTTA KICK START NOW", "SEX BLOOD ROCK N' ROLL", "SECRET IN MY HEART", "HIDEAWAY", "JESUS CHRIST". From what I remember. Already mentioned, my bad.

But after the show since I was broke and couldn't buy any merchandise, my friend, sister, and I went straight to that back door where we were lined up. People started coming there too, so the funny security guard guys put up a barricade cause they thought we'd go crazy (though I'm sure everyone respects VAMPS and was not going to). I was at the front with a few people, I was glad I could lean on it, I was tired! Though there was a lot of people there, I saw Ai (I think that was her) come out the door to look and she just said "oh, wow".

But they came out eventually and went into a van looking awesome as usual, shades on, saying bye. I was throwing up the "V", HYDE did too when he got in the van. When K.AZ got in they liked closed the sliding door, but opened it again for a sec, he was like looking forward or reading something and I yelled his name, and he looked and waved. Gotta give the man love he's awesome! So it was coolio~

I hope you gave it to him today. I'm sure he'd treasure it and remember you for the next signing.

I'm sorry you didn't catch his pick. Hopefully you do soon.

Ask him for a hug next time! It's not like you care about missing meeting Hyde if they throw you out!
