Billy Talent

loved seeing cancer bats and alexis for a second time, and against me! for the first time, but when billy talent started the already terrifying energy jumped off the charts. I sang and screamed every word so hard my voice was indestinguishable for abut a week. All bands performed so much better than the first time I saw them at the Labat Center in 2006. I'll remember that night till I push daisies. thanks.

On march 24th 2010 my dream came true, I saw you in montreal I was one persone away from that fence infront of the stage and dear lord that was the best show ever. Every song was perfect, as much as I would have wanted to meet you in person just having you sing and play infront of me sweating like hell and doing what you do best, Billy Talent is a must see live and you guys don't dissapoint. July 17th i saw you for the seconde time at the festival dete, I sang along with every song and yes Benjamin was right That night was a better night, The crowd was wild and you guys were simply amazing, the sound of every beat is perfect there is no better band than Billy Talent, ILY guys

The entire experience could be summarized in a few words: The best 4 hours of music you could find out there. Cancer bats performance was actually quite surprising, as they portrayed their metal-punk charisma and music as they sparked up the always energetic Montreal crowd for a non-stop moshing Frenzy that would last the entire night and which got stronger after each band. Against me delivered a great performance as well and when Alexisonfire hit the stage, their hardcore sound blew the floor section into an all out jumping-mosh experience. A little after 9h30, the lights went dim and the silent sound heard on the intro of The Dead Can't testify hit off... Montreal was very very anxious to rock with Billy Talent after a very long 3 years. The always powering riff introducing devil in a midnight mass set off the explosive crowd which would be at the mercy of the Canadian punk band for the rest of the set.It was my second time seeing these amazing musicians and let me just say they seem to get better with time and hopefully Billy Talent will have many more songs in them for the future

Never heard of billy talent before I saw the sign out front of the building holding the concert saying that they were opening for Rise Against. My luck couldn't have been better, after hearing them that night I said screw Rise Against, Billy Talent is now my New Favorite Band!!!

fantastic gig only one problem didnt last long enuf should have skipped the first support act and had billy talent on for longer come back soon xx

Submitted by shelley on November 06, 2009

My very first gig and the first time seeing Billy Talent, will definitely remember this show for a long time! The small venue made it very intimate and it was great to hear some new songs live before III came out. The guys played amazingly and it was a great experience for my first gig. Made me want to go to so many more! Awesome show and great venue!

Submitted by fluffywafflerhino on September 17, 2010

I think it was like 3 years since I'd last seen BT in Newcastle and the show was as immense as last time. I'm still amazed at the energy these guys have. Plus it was in a small room which makes it even better :]

Submitted by muspcy on November 19, 2009

Well for a change Ian, Ben, Aaron and Jon where in startling form. I've never been dissapointed by them any of the times I've seen them. There energy on stage is always tremendous and evey song is sung with passion and conviction.
I really love this band Donning was good. Shffield was good later that year.(Even with a hour break while they took someone to hospital after they fell over) Prague/Praha was also brilliant aarons birthday and all. Bens beard did make him look like a hobo mind.
As the title says Always Good. Thats why I'd fly to Praha for one day just to see them live.

Wow.

I was aware of Billy Talent. I knew who they were. I'd heard Devil in a Midnight Mass at least 10 times. I'd had the lyrics to Reg Flag sung at me by my friend. But nothing could have prepared me for this.

From their punchy opening with This Is How it Goes through to their closing with Red Flag. I was entranced. Converted, even. Every song was performed perfectly, sounding not all that different to the CDs I went on to buy with genuine enthusiasm.

I awaited patiently for a UK tour announcement.

I now wait patiently for November 3rd, Rock City, Nottingham.

My advice to anyone who has 'heard of' them or are not entirely convinced about this band to go to one of their shows. They're punchy, energetic and passionate.

Maybe even PERFECT.

Submitted by LozzyD on October 25, 2009

This is the first time I saw Billy Talent live and I was completely blown away. I had actually come for AFI but once I saw Billy Talent's incredible performance, they quickly became my favourite band of all time. Their raw emotions on stage and unbelievable talent make the best performance ever. That day was still one of the best days of my life. Ever since then, I've seen Billy Talent live at muchmusic and the ACC but I just feel like this Edgefest performance had something really special. Maybe it was all the rain-soaked people, the dirt, the song choices, the timing... there was this freedom in the performance that was amazing. Thanks, Billy Talent. :)

Submitted by SaintAnna on August 22, 2011

AMAZING SHOW. I've seen BT play live before, but this show definitely topped them all. Great song choices. Have to say my favourite part was when Ben told the audience to throw mud at him. Haha. Completely worth waiting around all day in the pouring rain!!

Submitted by Beachballs on October 27, 2009

Billy Talent at edgefest made my summer. Hearing St.Veronika played with such passion was amazing. Great show, great vibs, great setlist (although i would have liked to hear standing in the rain for some irony), and great EVERYTHING. Mosh pits were insane, killed myself to get up front row but completely worth it. They rock so hard it's awesome.

This was the best festival ever!!!
It rained hard the whole day, from about 10 am to 11 pm, but it was all worth it to get soaked to the bone, just to see BILLY TALENT. I totally forgot about being cold while they were playing, I was standing up and singing along to all the songs. They were soooo amazing. It wasnt the kind of show where the performer says the same thing to every city they go to. They talked about stuff that only pertained to Winnipeg. Which made it that more special. BILLY TALENT IS AMAZING LIVE, AND IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE TO SEE THEM LIVE, THEN TAKE IT. :)

Please, never play at this venue again! Security folks were just douche bags and parking was $30! But, your show was fantastic! Made my night...and the crowd was totally crazy - it was Rancid's home crowd! Your sound was incredible compared to the other two bands!

MY GOSH!!!
I will remember all of my life this evening of the july 17's 2010.It was the first time I see Billy talent and I'm even fell in love with Ben!! When Ben asked if somebody as a t-shirt of the NORDIQUE of Quebec ,it was magic,Ben tooks the T-shirt and he put it on his another t-shirt.

Submitted by camillefal. on July 06, 2011

I love reading posts where folks become new fans of the band. They always put on a great show and this night was no exception! I remember telling the folks around me that they would not be disappointed, by the third song, they all agreed! Watching Ian play St. Veronika, you could swear that he has 30 fingers, his hands are just a blur when he plays his solo! Ben mentioned that they were going to come back to LA and play at the Troubadour! I hope so!

The weather was hotter than hell that day! And the guys were in the sun their entire set...but they still provided and outstanding performance! Ben still managed to give his all but was redder than Rudolph's nose! The stage was super small, but the sound was great!

Submitted by GottaHaveMusic on April 08, 2010

This venue, seriously, felt like a furnace! And the guys didn't even start playing, yet! The crowd was hot and tough that night! I forget the song, but they had to replace Turn Your Back because Ian's voice was getting wonky! I couldn't tell the difference, he still sounded marvelous!

Submitted by GottaHaveMusic on April 08, 2010

This has got to be one of my most favourite places to see the band play! It looks like some barn, but the sound is just grand! The guys have a knack of making the crowd go crazy! Everything is big in Texas! During the first song, Devil in a Midnight Mass, the crowd was just wild that they were able to produce this huge dust cloud...it was insane! Wish the set was a bit longer, 35 minutes is just not enough!

Submitted by GottaHaveMusic on April 08, 2010

Muggy! Muggy! Muggy! We would duck into the Hard Rock Cafe next door for drinks. Sat at the bar and Jon was right next to me eating soft tacos! he he!

I really have to give it the guys and their crew, for some reason they sound a lot better than some of the bands that they tour with.

Submitted by GottaHaveMusic on April 08, 2010

5/5 on everything. they were excellent. i've never seen them or heard of them until then. just amazing.

Submitted by plutorabtr on March 02, 2010

Paid an extra $10 to be able to get in earlier than the rest, but alas, the crowd went for the balcony first than the barricade! I feel sheepish! Ian - who is Mikey F#ckin Frey?! You normally don't see Ian in a T-shirt, but that's what he wore that night! Stage was tiny, but the acoustics were jammin'. I thought people were going to fall off the 2nd tier because the band got that whole place rockin'!

Submitted by GottaHaveMusic on April 08, 2010

This was the first venue I heard Dead Can't Testify played live. No, the guys didn't play it during their set, it was only during sound check, and it was frickin' amazing! It's my fave song off of III!

I felt like a red-headed step child at that venue, no one around me had heard of the guys before. Some tweeker Rancid fan behind me was ragging on the band --- "ha ha ha Billy has no Talent!" Ah, but when Ben came by on a skateboard and stopped to say 'hi', a small crowd formed. Ha! Let me see Lars what's his name do that!

It's an outside stage, and it looked like it was going to rain. I was more worried about the guys getting electrocuted. The guys still rocked the boardwalk! Heck, they can still rock out during a power outage!

Submitted by GottaHaveMusic on April 08, 2010

Stood in line with a guy that had a hunting knife in his bag. Well, it is New York! New Yorkers never cease to amaze me! The crowd was nuts. There are a lot of Billy Talent fans on this side of the universe, and this poor little girl next to me, who could have passed for an albino, was soo red in the face by the fifth song, I advised her to get out!

This night, Ben did some angry singing! He seemed like he was pissed! But, it made the show even better!

Submitted by GottaHaveMusic on April 08, 2010

HOB management was totally nice and I didn't have to buy more salad! Wooo!

I saw a member, of another band, wait on the curb for a taxi, and two fans came up to him for a photo, and this guy totally just ignored them. My jaw dropped. It wasn't like he was about to get into the taxi, the taxi wasn't even there yet! That is one thing I really admire about the members of Billy Talent, they really go out of their way to spend time with their fans. Ben will still take pictures with fans, while he is doing his royal pee-pee dance! I saw him do it, and I had to interject to let him leave. Some fans gets soo awe-struck that they don't realize that the guy are human, too. But, the guy are very humble and gracious!

This show was going to be taped, so the guys were above and beyond their norm. They were pretty bitchen, as usual!

Submitted by GottaHaveMusic on April 08, 2010

Never heard of them before this night. I enjoyed their performance more than any of the other bands that played that night. This was the night I became a fan. Amazing energy. Great music. So happy I was there for this. So good I bought tickets right away to see them at the Paradise this Oct. Hoping they come around again.

Submitted by lisha886 on October 27, 2009

Well, to sum it up it was probably the best night of my life. So much energy came from all four of you! I was trying to match your energy, and I thought I was going to faint. You four men are my favorite people in the world, and it was so awesome to see/hear you live!

Ben sang the second verse of Devil on My Shoulder in place of the first... yes I caught that. ;) But don't worry, that's my favorite verse EVER, so that made my night! I pray you gained some more fans from that show; you completely deserve it!

You hear this a lot, but seriously, come to Connecticut! haha
Love,

Talent was Amazing!!! Crowd broke the barricade 2 songs in and they had to postpone their set.. Ben was pretty upset.. During the last song from kill switch engaged the crowd started chanting "Talent, talent" their lead man got pissed and left the stage before the were done playing, very funny.. Billy Talent is one of the best shows live ive ever seen at age 28, and if u get a chance to met them in person there all great guys, very down to earth.. I will be seeing them again and again

It was the first time I'd ever seen you at a festival but the 3rd time I'd seen you guys and I still think that you are one of the best live bands I'v ever seen. You just have so much energy. The only problem was it was so jam packed down at the front that we couldnt get a nice pit going. Was stil the best way to end the weekend though!! Thanks to Mike Davies for having you on his stage and for introducing me to you guys in the first place

Submitted by LeighBear on November 04, 2009

Being a fan in the US is rare, especially one that has been listening since just before Billy Talent II dropped on the market. I remember almost 3 years ago now, when Billy Talent came a played at the Intersection in Grand Rapids, sitting in my basement alone, wondering why I wasn't at that show. Vowing to make sure I was at a Billy Talent concert next time they came to Michigan I watched the tour listings for 2 and a half years and the moment that I saw the Detroit show I bought my ticket.
Even though I had a test coming up for my college class the next day I drove out, skipping my 2 classes of the day, across the state to the show. The 1st opening band, a local act from Ann Arbor, played far too long and didn't really fit with the overall set. The other 2 acts were great and I didn't really care, I was going to see Billy Talent, finally. When you the band took the stage this little cramped concert hall came alive, I cannot remember a time in recent history where I've been more elated and excited about music. The band played superbly, even through Ian's guitar trouble during "The Ex" and by the end of the show I was just exhausted, dehydrated and couldn't be happier. Wish I'd stuck around but as I just dropped $100 on merch and had class the next day I had to be getting back across state. That show was awesome, I will be seeing them no matter what, whenever they come to Michigan, even if I have to beg for ticket money and hitch-hike 1/2 a week to get there and back. Top notch all the way.

This show was absolutely AMAZING! The energy was great and the band put so much effort into every song. I've been listening to these guys for about 9 years now and the show just made me love them even more! This show beat out NIN, Def Leppard, Poison, and Cheap Trick for sure. Saw all of them over the summer and Billy Talent def. took the lead. Keep up the good work :)

Submitted by mnmac on August 15, 2011

Billy Talent is by far my favorite band out there. Drove down from Winnipeg Manitoba to see them perform in St.Paul's.. definitely the best show I've seen by them yet. The venue was just the right size to feel close and interactive with the band. The opening bands were also very entertaining but the best part was sticking around at the end of the show by fluke and meeting the entire band. Very kind generous people and I'll never forget the experience!

Submitted by jewelz on September 02, 2010

Billy Talent has literally changed my life with their lyrics. They have delved deeply into life itself and have created a phenomena only noticeable by music enthusiasts.

After falling in love with all of their music, I bought a ticket to this show. Every single one of their members poured their hearts and souls into their music and I could feel it in mine.

I will never see a better show in my life, that I am sure of. The only possibility of a better show is solely another by them.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND.

But i met ben outside as he roamed the street and got a picture with ian since he came out the tour bus as we were about to knock on the door to see if they could help us get back in. But it work out that we got back in anyways even though we paid $15 dollars more per ticket which of course was well worth it cuz the show was badass.

I live in Buffalo, and two of my friends and I drove 4 and a half hours to make it to this show, and every second was worth it.

Billy Talent performs THE best live shows. They are a live band and I think people hear their music differenly once they have experience them live.

I've seen them many times but I have to say this was the best BT show I've ever been to.
Being from Toronto I am used to seeing them in bigger venues. The Gramercy is a small venue and it made the show more intimate and unforgettable. Ben brings such intensity, you can't help but yell the lyrics back at him...and I left with no voice.

Thanks for the experience...these boys never disappoint

Submitted by Dannie on November 05, 2009

I thank Billy Talent for touring with Rise Against. I am lazy at researching bands on my own. When I saw that they were opening on that tour I made sure to get there early just to see what the fuss was about, and was blown away. Thus, I had to go to their headlining Blender show a few months later. I'm only sorry I didn't go to the Boston show the next night.

To sum up, I left without a face. Why? Because Billy Talent rocked it off. Yes. I'm hilarious.

A proper review is here, should you be interested:

This concert was absolutely THE best performance I have EVER seen, not just by Billy Talent, but by all the bands I have ever seen live. Every member of the band was hyped to be playing, each of them played better and better throughout the course of the preformance, and they put on a great preformance overall. The crowd had really good chemestry too. This preformance was by far better than their preformance at Bamboozle 2009 on May 3rd. Their setlist could not have been better.
Great, great job guys. Please come back to NYC very, very soon. :)

Well, what can I say? BT has a real rep for totally bringing down the house. The show was crazy, and probably one of the best nights of my life. The performance was TOP NOTCH, even through the constant breaks between songs due to comercial intake. Ben kept us entertained, on and off the air. My highlight of the night was probably the big entrance of "Devil in a Midnight Mass" It made everybody SCREAM after about an hour of standing out in a cold fall night. BT FOREVER!

This show was the highlight of my year. Best concert I've every been to. Energy was amazing. Screaming along to every song! I just couldn't get enough. I am forever a fan. *Crossing fingers they come back soon*

Submitted by lisha886 on October 27, 2009

Well where do i start???
BT are known well for their epic energy on stage and, like im sure they'll do on all other dates onwards, didnt dissapoint; putting on a fantastic show!
The 2 opening acts werent really what i expected tbh, although i think that was because of how good billy talent were afterwards; they made Cantabury's and Cancer bats' performances look pittifull. I have actually heard some Cancer bats before the show and i think that that was the reason they didnt seem as good :D Anyways, back to BT.
They opened with a song which i sorta expected them to do. The boys came on stage much to the delight of the crowd and once the mindblowing guitar riff of Devil in a Midnight Mass started blasting out of Ian's amps we took the roof off! Me and my mates got an awesome view aswell (stood right at the front, less than 5 yards away from Ian and Ben :D
Then next song out was This Suffering and afterwards there was HALF of Line and Sinker (i say half because some poor guy smashed his head in and the gig was stopped... FOR A WHOLE HOUR!!!) never the less, being the awesome band that Billy Talent are, they came back on and burst out woth the 2009 smasher: Rusted from The Rain...

The rest of the songs i cannot remember in order, my minds a bit of a blur (probs because of myself screaming along to the songs :D U no the feeling: when you're enjoying yourself so much that the next morning its all a blur..)
however the song list went asd follows(not in order i dont think)

as you no there was:
Devil in a Midnight Mass
This Suffering
(HALF of) Line and Sinker
and... Rusted from the Rain

The rest arent in order...

White sparrows
Saint Veronika
The Dead Can't Testify
Diamond on a landmine
River Below
The Ex
Fallen Leaves
Turn Your Back
Try Honesty
Surrender
Red Flag (that ones right :L)

Red flag was the end of the concert.
Overall the concert was the best night of my life so far(honestly!) These guys are my fave band ever! To see them live was a real experience in itself and for me, they're one of the best live bands ever!!!
I abosolutely cannot wait for them to come back touring the UK and at that time, I'm gunna see them not just in Sheffield, but in leeds and/or Nottingham aswell, depending on the dates and if they actually play them, lets hope they do!
Highlight of the night for me was The Dead Can't Testify but all the rest were close seconds ;D

Every time I was supposed to see Billy Talent play something would happen and I'd have to miss the gig. It took me 3 years for this to finally happened. and it was AMAZING!! truly the best day of my life... so far. hanging outside for 6 hours was totally worht it becaus in the end i got to meet the band who are by the way the nicest people ever! especially ben! 'cos even some random hobo got a handshake off him haha!
and of course the gig itself was unbelievable! a totally crazy drive! i felt like support could have been a bit more appropriate music-wise, more like the main band but i didnt care that much about it, i was there to see someone so awesome they could've had a church quire for support and i'd still say the gig was amazing!
there is soooo much i'd want to say to you guys but for now, thank you for you music, for giving hope, for speaking out. i care like you care. u have the power to get peolple to listen.

The Olympia is a nice small intimate theater perfect for Billy Talent, Ben telling hilarious stories and stopping people on they're way for a piss was pure brilliance. The support acts where horrible, the young and upcoming Canterbury where ok at very best, and cancer bats split the crowd down the middle, but it was worth it too see Billy Talent blow every single person in that theater away. Everyone sang along, everyone jumped around and went wild, everyone loved it. COME BACK TO DUBLIN SOON GUYS WE MISS YOU!

Submitted by adeformedcat on November 09, 2009

It Was Unreal.....Thats a fact... the best live band i have ever seen. Ill never walk off when he is telling a story during songs again.... He pulled me up on it was so embarrasing. But was funny as fuck.....

Second from the barrier where some girl with her parents was pushing everyone back looking totally miserable, the view was amazing and the performance utterly AWSOME.
ben looked TOP FORM and drank in the crowds attention. Ben had no Idea what OGGY OGGY OGGY OI OI OI meant and he asked the girl beside me. He was under the impression it meant fuck off.
eventually, the grumpy girl and her parents left the barrier because the girl just wasn't up for a gig of this magnitude and couldn't stand people pushing her into the barrier.
Ben ROCKED the crowd with Devil on my shoulder, Rusted fromthe rain and Saint veronika... but when Devil in a midnight mass bust from his lungs.... The overwhelming power and urge to jump and dance filled even the exhausted people heating like an oven in the middle.

Overall... Completely outstanding and obviously too overpowering for some.

5 Star all the way!!!

Submitted by Kimik0123 on November 02, 2009

To go to any Billy Talent concert is amazing, but to share the experience with my closest friends and parents! makes it so much better!! Worth the bruises on my ribs from the barrier.
Most people, I guess, would be embarressed to have the parents bouncing along to Diamond on a Landmine ... but they are awesome!
So awesome that after seeing the band 6 times already, they let me plus friends wait over an hour to see the band. Standing quietly on the car park they waited, but as soon as the band came out my dad was straight in there getting on the picture I had taken with Ben.

The gig was in my home city. They played all the songs I was dying to hear. I met them. And most of all - I think my dad likes them more than me!!

This was the very first gig that I have been to and although I don't have anything to compare it to, it lived up to my expectations and then exceeded them, it was without a shoadow of a doubt the single best night of my life. They played all of my favourite songs (Devil On My Shoulder, Rusted From The Rain and Red Flag). The atmosphere inside the academy was immense and almost tangible during the build up to the band coming on stage. Like I said, the best night of my life so far.

Submitted by Lee1991 on November 02, 2009

Last night was the best gig ever !!!
Ben look amazing and everyone gave a impressive performance.
Ian solos were incrediable.
The thing that made the night incredible is that Ben made continous eyecontact with me and i threw my flag on stage and Ian walked along stage with it :)
p.s I held hands with the lead of cancer bats

That concert was my first Billy Talent concert, and also my first concert ever xD
I was excited for it for months!
And I was not disappointed at all...
The support-bands, Cancer Bats and Silverstein, who I did not know before, amazed me, and I count them to my favorite bands since that day.
Billy Talent were amazing.
When they hit the stage, the whole venue was screaming. Just incredible.
Ben's voice sounded great, as well as Ian played perfectly, Aaron made the beat and Jon rocked the house.
I was not able to breath during "The Death Can't Testify"!
Great evening, amazing band, good concert :D

Submitted by Nefertem on December 26, 2010

Well, what shall I say?!
It was awesome! the boys were great! Ben's voice was amazing, he also learned some german words, I guess, which was really fun to hear. The 2 support bands made a lot of people being exhausted before BT came up on stage which was a bit sad but nevermind.

All in all it was a great show and I can't wait to see them again :)

The concert at Bielefeld was so great.

Hello everyone!
It was first concert in my life and it was great! I must say thank you, Billy Talent for came there :) Well, me & my friend have been stayed in a queque about 1,5 hour. We was standing in the 2nd row, in front of Ian.
The show was totally amazing! Everyone was jumping, shouting and singing everything! This big crowd knew lyrics for all songs played. It surprised me a bit. That's a pity that I didn't catch any of guitar picks, drumsticks (one fell about 1m from me) or Ian's towel (which fell 0,5m from me, and even I touched it :D) or bottle of water :P After the show I felt kind of sad. It was such great performance. The best part was the singing Happy Birthday to Aaron! But only once. Than Ben put a little pink rabbit on Aaron's bass drum :D I laughed at that very long. Well, after the show we bought two bottles of Ice Tea. It tasted soooo great! I had totally worn throat! Than we left Tesla Arena, and we get a Pop&Rock magazine with Billy Talent's poster inside and a rolled Tour Poster. Such a nice gesture :)
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GUYS FROM BILLY TALENT. IT WAS THE BEST EVENING IN MY LIFE. AND I WANNA SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AARON AGAIN. I hope I'll see you in Warsaw, 13th of February.
At the end I wish you ALL THE BEST FOR BAND! Keep rockin'!

I couldn't wait to see Billy Talent. They've been in Prague 2 times before this concert and i've heard their shows used to be so great!
Cancer Bats started the whole show and everybody started screaming. SilverStein did a great show too. Billy Talent just couldn't choose some better special guests.
Then about 9:45 PM Billy Talent started playing. They were so great,that i even can't describe it. The guys were in a great mood and Ben jumped around as always. The concert was great,seeing Billy Talent live is really amazing. At least i hope Aaron enjoyed his birthday in prague.

I've been to a few concerts in my life, but none of them was like that one.

We were very excited to see Billy Talent live for the first time in our city, Barcelona.

Two bands played before them (The Sights & Sounds and No Way Out), but we had all come to see Billy Talent, and we just couldn't wait!

And of course, they didn't disappoint us. They just sound great, and the crowd didn't stop bouncing and singing through all the songs they played.

It was amazing, and when we went out we all agreed that we won't miss any Billy Talent concert in Barcelona from now on.

Submitted by StVeronika77 on January 25, 2010

You guys rocked so hard. It was awesome, can't wait to see you again. There was so much energy. Probably one of the best concerts in my life.

Submitted by louis360 on September 06, 2010

It was sooooo great!!!

My highlight: BEN! (not because of looking good, you'll read it below)

It was snowing really much yesterday... 30cm of snow! So we arrived half an hour before they let the people in. Whatever, me and my friend stood in 5th row. Suddenly, we rembered this: what about our winter jackets we had on?! I wanted to take them to the wardrobe... but there were 300 people... so I took all the jackets with me. But I hadn't the chance to go to my friend again. So I went to the left side and somehow I got into the third row. I thought I was near my friend... FAIL! I was not! A nice young couple took the jackets to the securities. (Tank you guys, you really rocked, I wanna see you again!!!!) But there were also shitty wanna-be emo girls... they were writing messages with their mobile phone all the time! They even called a friend who was in the same concert hall!!!! (Does this make sense?!)
Whatever. 10 minutes before Sights&Sounds came on stage, I got into the first row!!!!!
Then Sights&Sounds came... and they sucked. The music was good, the singer's voice was good... but the melody of the lyrics (that I couldn't understand) was terrible... and the singer disturbed me with shouting all the time that they were from Canada. Sometime I shouted: Shut up, we know that shit! So he stopped that. Good!

And then: Billy Talent!!!!
Sooooooo much energy!!!! I totally freaked out, I never sweated that much!!!

My personal highlight was Ben because he looked at the crowd... and suddenly, he saw me, smiled really big, pointed to me (well... on my t-shirt...), smiled even bigger and then he showed me thumbs up!!!! (He likes the Toten Hosen, yay!!!!!)

Other highlights:

Ben tyring to sing Seven Nation Army, but stopped that after the second line of the song... and Aaron laughed at him so much because Ben really sucked... he couldn't sing any line correct. But he tried to.

Ben: Have you got our second record?!
public: YAAAAAY!!!!
Ben: Ah.... really...?
Ben was dancing cha cha cha and salsa all the time...

Ben stood behind an amplifier, suddenly a man ran over the stage, naked chest, everybody thought that it was Ben, suddenly a security man punched him down and everybody was freaking out what this man is doing with Ben. Suddenly, Ben stood on the stage, playing with his finger nails and waiting for the people that they should look at him... everybody was like: What?! How did he do that trick?!

Ben: What's your word for slut? You know what slut means? It's a whore!
And then he learnt the word... and used it all the time and was happy like a little kid

BUT: the prizes at the concert.. 25euros for one t-shirt (I can get one for 18euros with EMP!), small noodles for 5euros.... and the security was really bad! the women fell down the 2 metres from the crowd because the security was too stupid for picking them up!

I wanna see Billy Talent again!!!!!

P.S.: my injuries: some bad bruises on my legs, parts of the skin of my bones from my arms is shaped off and inflamed, my stomach hurts too, I think something is crimped... my back hurts, too! But it was good, though!

P.P.S.: Ben told everyone that they will definetely come back to Esch-sur-Alzette, this evening was so great, he hopes that everyone gets home without being too sick, we must care for our friends and family... and all that. he even spoke a little bit French

billy talent is the best

Submitted by luca097 on January 31, 2010

Hi, this was my first of hopfully many concerts with billy talent and as BT is my favorite band I loved it. For me it was diffrent from other concerts because I know the lyrics for all your songs and other concerts i know only a few of theirs. I liked the connection Ben had with the crowd and the crowd with him and the band ofc. It was really entertaining and I hope you guys will come back to Norway soon!
Cheers from Norway!

Submitted by Niskelo on February 02, 2010

i really enjoyed your show in oslo. you guys are awsome, and the concert was insane :-) the only negative thing about it was that us under 18 wasn't allowed to stand in front of the stage. so i hope if you play in norway again everybody is allowed to stand (and i totally hope you will play here again because you are my favorite band :D well, i heard you are playing in sweeden this summer. if my parents give me permission to go and my friends can and if i have money for tickets i am so coming :D but you should really come back to norway soon.

Submitted by asiansituation on May 15, 2010

I've been waiting such a long time to see you live, and when I saw you were coming to Sweden again I knew this would be awesome. Outside Tradgar'n it was cold and many people, and when we got inside I was just so excited. When you started to play, I (and all the others) jumped, sang and had such a great time. It was the greatest concert I've been to this far, probably because I've been longing for it for such a long time.

You must come back, very soon!

Submitted by UmbrellaAcademy on April 11, 2010

Okay, that was strange... No-one else has written here...

First of all, I just want to give you all a huge hug. You got the donts and rings over the a's and o's right!

The show was one of the best I've been to. Not because the sound was good (seriously, when Ben talked he sounded like a Smurf, the small blue guys, you know) neither it was because I was standing just a few meters away from a band I really love. No, the best thing about the show was the band, that gived everything (even though we were quite few in the crowd in front of the stage). But I think that everybody who was there had to love what you did, Billy Talent!

I can still remember when you guys did Fallen Leaves. I couldn't breath (everybody went nuts and tried to get to the stage, I got squeezed), I couldn't scream (I didn't have any air, nor any voice left) but it was one of the happiest moments in my life!

When you come back (or if, but I really hope you do) I'll definitly be there!

Submitted by ioio on April 09, 2010

The word "best" is not enough! This concert was the wildest i've ever been to by any band!
This was the first time i've seen Billy Talent live, boy have i been waiting!

Everything was perfect, the crowd, the sound / soundchecks, the lightshow, the songs, BILLY TALENT! I could barely hear Ben's voice because us, the crowd drowned his voice! This was the happiest day of my life!

The best part: I met the band after the show! They are the nicest guy's! Really miss you guys!

Submitted by Barbapappa on February 08, 2010

It was awsome. To be a live show they performed really well, and gave a very good show. Funny, creative and played songs from all cd's. The only thinkg that I would like to obeject to (not the bands fault), is that we werent aloud to take any pictures or videos!! What the hell is that about? Every tome we would take a camera out, we were told to stop or we would be kicked out!! It almost spoiled the night. The concert was great!!! Hope to see him soon again as soon as possible.

Submitted by alexsuomi on February 09, 2010

Well, i must say that the show was really really amazing! I've been waiting for this concert for 3 years, so i was really happy to hear that guys would come here!
When they started the show, the crowd was really crazy, everybody was singing and jumping i guess) During the show Ben was talking with the crowd aboud nice things, such as hokkey)
There were two things which i didnt like. The 1st is that the security has taken my camera and the second that i didnt get anything for the memory)

Billy Talent get 10, the crowd gets 10, the organizers get 5)
I really hope that guys will come here again, excellent!!!!

Hey there, I was on my second BT concert in club Stodola in Warsaw, PL.
They played White Sparrows, Prisoners of Today and Nothing To Lose instead of River Below and Tears into Wine. Whole band was in good mood, I think :D Ben was telling jokes, Jon was smiling :d
Ben said "dziekuje" ("thanks") in Polish! And people wanted him to show his tits but he didn't show them. Before the song Surrender Ben said that "this is song about my love for Jon... and now I'm confessing", haha! Then Jon made a heart with his hands and show this to Ben :D
Billy Talent is awesome live!!
Btw, I wonder what did they do with my postcard which I threw on the scene. Anyway, thanx guys for came to Poland again!! Cheers!!

Not everyone can experience the Olympics. And since my fave band in the whole wide world was playing, I had to be there. The guys did not disappoint one bit. I loved every second of their performance - curtain countdown with the sparrows, sparrows flying on the rear screen, fire, Ben trying not to cuss during the show, Ian's maple leaf guitar...it was great and a once in a lifetime opportunity! I'm glad I made the trek over there! You guys are truly the best!

Billy Talent performed at a Victory Ceremony for the Olympics and it was an amazing concert but too short!!

This was my four time seeing the guys play. And I gotta say it was the BEST! I can't even describe how amazing they played. My friend and I were extremly sore after the concert. And since we rocked so hard for every song.. by the time they came out for their encores, we were almost to tired to shout anymore. Loved how Ben had Crosby's jersey on, and talked about the Olympics (I was there at BC Place when you played!!) And thanks so much to Aaron and Ben for taking the time out to meet me behind the stadium. That totally did it for me.

So, this was the "first" of the three shows of the Canadian tour I attended, and I must say, the crowd was kind of dissappointing. They weren't all that enthused, even when Billy Talent hit the stage. Hardly any mosh pitters, and crowd was pretty mellow. All-in-all, a great show though.

Submitted by 6stringvillain on April 10, 2010

Ok, so this was the "second" show of the canadian tour I attended, and it was very fun. Being in front of Ian in the mosh pit, hauling bodies over my head, and screaming my lungs out alongside my best friend, proved to be and awesome show! Ian, Jon, Ben, and Aaron most definetly put on an excellent display of lights and comradery to back their songs. Great show!!!!

I went with two of my friends and it was so epic. Haha. LETHBRIDGE LOVES YOU!

Submitted by ravit on May 05, 2010

This was the "third" and final show I attended of the Canadian tour, and it was epic even before the doors opened;

I was the contest winner to do a soundcheck with the guys from Billy Talent (Put on by Much Music!!!), and it was absolutly amazing! When I went up to play, all of the guys came up and introduced themselves, which made me completely comfortable up on stage. I performed Devil on My Shoulder, along with the second solo Ian ingeniously crafted for the iTunes session release, which, to my surprise, impressed the gents. They were all courteous enough to sign a poster and my telecaster. They had helped fulfill a personal dream of mine: Jam With Bily Talent!

Their show that night was no different. Light shows, comic jests, and a wave from both Ian and Ben, proved to be the best show of theirs that I have ever been to (Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and Virgin Fest in August of last year).

I hope that they can return soon to entertain us further!

Submitted by 6stringvillain on April 10, 2010

I have been to many concerts in my life and i have never been to a concert as amazing as this. It was even better than my first concert when i saw metallica in 2001. When i travel to ontario again in a couple weeks im going to see them again with bettter seats.

Submitted by raynebow on June 04, 2010

Billy Talent has been my favourite band since they released their first album. This was my second time seeing them Live and once again had an amazing time! First time was in 2007 with Rise Against, RISE AGAINST, I thought "how can their line up get any better, the only way would be if they got my other favourite band Alexisonfire." Then when this tour was announced I nearly crapped my pants, best tour ever!
I also want to add that Billy Talent was amazing for contests to meet them during this tour. I heard of so many contests to enter from just sharing a video of you doing some kind of crazy talent to you playing on of their songs. I was lucky enough to win a contest and did a soundcheck with BT! Now all we need is Billy Talent to come back to Canada more often.
Perfect Tour!

I've watched your performances on Much, awards shows and your DVD too numerous times to mention but to finally see you live was beyond thrilling. The show was everything I thought it would be and much more. Nice touch to add the Crosby shirt into the show, we are all proud of the Olympic moment but remember that your music will be a part of our lives long after the memory of that game fades. I'm proud that a band of your calibre is from Canada. Stay true to your music, ignore the critics these days everyone is an expert on everything. It was great to meet you and get photos,you are all such great as well as talented people. Thanks again Aaron for the quote on the influence music/drumming has had on your life. Got my signed CD from my collegue in SSM thank you! Rock Europe! I'm sure they love you as much as we do here. Can't wait to see you live again but will survive on your CDs. Anna

Submitted by Amisi on April 15, 2010

wow, absolutely killer show.

My favorite part (though the whole thing was unreal) was the way they started the show: Ian shredding the opening Devil in a Midnight mass riff with the spotlight, then the curtain in the back falling down as the drums came in. AWSOME, I loved it, was so into it.

Ben has awsome stage presense, lots of energy, drums and bass were stellar and can't say enough about Ian, unbelievable musician with the back up vocals and on of the most creative guitar chord choices and unique riffs, clean sound... awsome awsome awsome!

In all honesty, the night I saw Billy Talent live was the best night of my entire life.
I had crappy seats but we ended up getting some AMAZING seats like RIGHT next to the stage, and Jon smiled at me :) He's such a cutie pie. And Ben, good lord he's amazing. The amount of energy he puts into his performance is amazing. If you ask me, 50$ for a ticket is not NEARLY enough! Not only was I sick for a week after that, but I also sprained my ankle and was in pain, but DAMN THAT WAS A GOOD CONCERT.
Thank you for making my night so special. I'll wait for you to come to Ottawa again. I live my life for you guys. You make me feel alive.
Love always,

You guys put on an incredible show, I loved every part of it, I just saw you guys in Halifax, both times you were incredible. I wish AGAINST ME! could have made it to the show in Halifax, but I still got to see them. Cancer Bats did a great job getting the crowd going, and alexisonfire never disappoints at their shows. I wish AGAINST ME! would have played more of their old stuff instead of promoting their new leaked album, but of course there was only so much time you had for the stage. Billy Talents performance was incredible, Saint Veronika is my favorite song by you guys, and hearing that song live, I lost my mind! great job! Keep up the great job and come back soon! Three times isn't enough for me!

There was shoving. There was pushing. It was boiling hot, and I was covered in sweat; most of which not even mine. Bruises covered my body...
And it was the single best night of my life.
Amazing show, for sure the best concert I've ever been to. Also my first ever mosh pit - I was a tad frightened at first. Thankfully I found my way to the very front though, and was able to hold onto the barrier. The energy throughout it was fantastic - I seriously did not want to leave.
My favourite song they did was Line and Sinker - I thought it sounded amazing live. Everything sounded amazing live.
I think that Billy Talent is one of those rare bands that actually sounds better live than they do on the CD - which is completely awesome.

Please come back to Ottawa soon! I live and breath for Billy Talent.

Submitted by applerythm on April 12, 2010

This was my third time seeing you guys live and you certainly didn't disappoint. I'd like to say I enjoy you much more in the indoor venue then outdoor, because you can feel the excitement in the air. The crowd was so into the show and thats what always makes it great. The best thing about seeing a Billy Talent show is how dedicated you guys are to your fans. You put on show after mind-numbing show for weeks on end and never falter. The energy and intensity makes it so enjoyable, notable one of the best bands I have ever witnessed live. It was interesting to see you play with bands like the Cancer Bats, Alexisonfire and Against Me!, and to be honest they did an amazing job of getting the crowd hyped and ready to go!
The one thing I was disappointed in was that you didn't play everything off your new album. I understand you only have so much time on stage, and it's always great to bring out some old favorites like the ex, try honesty, nothing to lose and devil in a midnight mass. However I was really looking forwards to hearing the dead can't testify. I still fully enjoyed myself though.
I have tickets to see you at the Cunard Centre in Halifax next week and I'm sure once again you'll completely blow my mind.
Thanks for another great show!

Anywway I has amazed at the show the band put On Cant wait to get back and see another show HopeFully they are touring in the Fall I will definatly catch them Again. I have to say i have seen Metallica, Motley crew and green day all live and Billy Talent sounded the best live probably the best live band out there in my opionion

This was my first concert ever, and it has really amazed me! Cancer Bats, Against Me and Alexisonfire were all very awesome!
I've got myself in a few moshpits, but all in all amazing first show for me!
The crowd was really intense all the way through the show t'ill the very end, everyone was really pumped. Cancer Bats, Against Me and Alexisonfire were great, they kept us all on our feet screaming and jumping for the end. I don't know how Ben can sign for so long without losing his voice, but he has a real talent. All of Billy Talent, Ben, Aaron, Ian and John are all awesome they have great voices and really know how to get the crowd going. I was singing and screaming, it's such an adrenaline rush to hear a lot of their great songs.
Hope you come back to Ottawa again soon Billy Talent! You were an awesome first time show for me and i would do this 100 times over.

i've been too many concerts and it doesn't happen very often that the band sounds better live then in on the album. so GREAT job guys ! :D the only part i was a little disappointed about was the fact that you guys started to play the dead can't testify at the very beginning and then switched to devil in a midnight mass. and then didn't play the dead can't testify the rest of the night... alexisonfire was also amazing and against me was pretty good too ! i'm just not the biggest fan of cancer bats. buts its alright because the rest of the night definitively made up for up.

This was my first...and so far favourite... BT show! They were all AWESOME on their insturments and the music was great! The only think I didnt like was when I went to the bathroom in the middle of Red Flag!
Awesome guys! Plz come to London again!

This was my first time seeing Billy Talent perform live and I loved every second of it. They have an amazing stage presence and really kept the whole audience involved.

One of the things that really impressed me (besides the entire performance they put on) came at about mid-set. Earth Hour was to take place that day and since the power was clearly not going to be shut off, Ben approached the mic and announced the whole show was being put on using Bullfrog Power (green and renewable energy)! It is great to know the members of this band are not only amazing performers, but are environmentally-conscious as well.

Well done, boys. I think I speak for everyone who was at the JLC when I say we can't for you to come back.

That concert was AMAZING!It was my first concert and it was the best first concert ever. I had a chance to "meet a great" the band and it was super funny. I talked to jon a little bit and watched ben try to flip his hat onto his head several times before he gave up and threw the hat! My sister was getting her shoe signed. when it came to aaron he took it and sniffed it!

The show was great! Lots of laughs with ben and the music was just stellar.I must say that BT is way better live then recorded. The whole time they were performing i couldnt sit down! They picked te best songs possible to do an encore with and that just kept the JLC on their feet! It took about 3 ins of chanting we want more! before they came back out and i watched and nobody left before! Nobody in the whole building wanted to leave. And why would they!? If someone there wasnt a BT fan (i dont know how they could live and not be a fan) by the end everyone was a fan and those who were already fans became bigger fans. There wasnt a single dissapointing part except for the end when they left. Overall amazing concert 11/10

The show at the Air Canada Centre was the fifth Billy Talent show that I had attended. I've seen Billy Talent play the tiny Town Ballroom in Buffalo, and now the pretty sizeable ACC. Cancer Bats, AOF, and Against Me were good picks for getting the audience pumped. I had seen AOF and Cancer Bats before at Edgefest (best BT show to date) and I knew that they could get a crowd riled up. (Especially those Canadians, they are much more likely to dance and mosh at a show).
As ususal Billy Talent had tons of energy, as shown by the sweat dripping off Ian's beautiful face. I do believe that the vocals have changed over time, since the first few times I saw the band. Billy Talent now is a much more refined band then they used to be; they care much more about the fan's opinion. But with a band who has just gotten as big as Billy Talent has in Canada, it's hard not to be looked upon as a little "concerned with appearances".
The show was entertaining although I was disappointed at the absence of "This is How it Goes", which was once always the opener. Also, I'm pretty sure that I did not hear "perfect world".
Ian D'Sa is my favorite and most sexy guitar player, and I quite enjoyed the ol' fashioned rock n roll solo he added to "Devil on my Shoulder".
Great show, and I definatly hope to see Billy Talent at a small venue again someday.

Submitted by ArielDaydream on April 09, 2010

When I first got to Toronto for this show from Buffalo, all I was thinking was that it sucked that my tickets were in the 300 level of the Air Canada Centre. I have never been in it before, so I didn't know what to expect. But of course, I was blown away at Billy Talent's ability to rock with so much power and energy that little old me in section 306 could feel. Every time I see Billy Talent, gets better and better. I have only seen Billy Talent in clubs, but they did just as awesome in an arena. And in my opinion, they are the best band to play an arena that I have ever seen. Everything about them is incredible and I will be seeing them again, hopefully soon!

It was my first concert.. and I am extremely glad that it was that billy talent one.. MY FAVOURITE bands of all time! (alexisonfire, against, cancer bats, and BILLY TALENT) all played fantastic sets!! I couldn't have asked for anything more than this concert. All the past tours and shows that i've missed, saying 'ahh whatever i'll go to the next one..' Now that I have been to this show.. I will NEVER..EVER.. miss another one of their shows in Toronto AGAINl! I'm ALREADY impatient for them to come back to Toronto and play in the ACC! It was a wild night.. and I am so happy there arent even enough words to explain how happy and satisfied with the show, and with billy talent.

First real concert. Before this band, I thought I hated all music. (Only being exposed to pop in the past.) For 5 solid years, this band has been my favorite. Please don't stop being so awesome. If you ever come within a 6 hour drive of New Brunswick, I will be there. Haha, me and my friend Nathan ended up taking our shirts off.

This was my fourth time seeing Billy Talent live, and they did not fail me yet. My first show was in Halifax in 2007, then PEI, where I'm from, the following summer, I caught the Ottawa show on this tour and I managed to grab tix to this one and each show has blown my mind to significant proportions.
The venue for this show was very interesting, but very personal. It made me feel like the band was right there with me the whole time.
Halifax had an amazing turn out and very enthusiastic fans which always gets the boys going.
Alexisonfire put on a WAY better show here than in Ottawa which pleased me.
I enjoy the Cancer Bats but them not playing this show resulted in less moss pits which was nice.
Since there was only two bands playing the band got to play a longer set which was awesome, can't get too much BT.
One thing Billy Talent is really good at doing live is dabbling in songs from each album, which makes it that much more enjoyable for the fans that have been there for the long haul.
When Ben cracked the joke about this being the last show, I wasn't even heartbroken. I have had such a good run with these boys that I would have been honoured to be part of their last performance.
Though I sincerely hope there will be many more albums to tour, and shows to attend, even if I have to go back to Ottawa to see them.
Thank you Ben, Ian, Jon and Aaron for once again showing me why you guy's have a special little place in my heart.
Billy Talent Forever!

Submitted by oliviabawood on May 03, 2010

I have to say this was one of the best shows I've been to in a long time... quite possibly since the last time BT was in Halifax, back in 2007. Billy Talent never disappoint their fans, always giving not only a spectacular performance, but overall a truly great concert experience. Billy Talent channel all of their energy into their music, and the crowd gladly reciprocates. The intensity of this interaction results in a simply frantic atmosphere exceeding that of many other concerts I've been to lately. You can tell that the band always put everything they have into everything they do, and it really shows. I look forward to seeing Billy Talent again in concert every chance I get.

Submitted by UniquenessInABox on April 19, 2010

As soon as I heard Billy Talent was coming to Halifax, I was pumped. I never went to a concert at the "Cunard Center" in downtown Halifax. But, after that performance I'd defiantly see another one. It really put a smile on my face when Ben Kowalewicz was talking about Sidney Crosby and how we made a hell of a hockey player! Alexis on Fire was also a very good. It was disappointing to find out "Cancer Bats" and "Against me" weren't going to join them in Halifax. But, hey. What are you going to do. Keep rockin' you guys blew me away.

Submitted by mathdork on April 18, 2010

all i can say is you guys rocked please come to halifax again and bring alexisonfire

Submitted by bobandmargret on April 17, 2010

Despite the freezing cold weather, this show as awesome!

It seemed like Halifax was in the middle of nowhere...but, so many people showed up for the show!

Alexisonfire was pretty frickin' good! George was funny trying to tear his t-shirt off in one try They totally rocked! So many folks were totally into them, and I can understand why!

Billy Talent was, of course, pretty frickin' sweet! Their sound was awesome! This venue was an old shipyard warehouse on the water, you would think that the acoustics would be bad, but nope - it was great! The sound married with the light show, was sensory overload! It was the first time I was able to experience White Sparrows and Tears into Wine (my fave) played live, and it was amazing, so glad I went!

The crowd was fantastic! Even the douche bag couple, next to me, making out during Surrender did not take away from the ambience! I loved all the shoving and pushing and the crowd moving...it was truly sticky!

Ian was just frickin' amazing, as usual! Just dripping with sweat, you know he puts his heart into the music! St. Veronika and Devil on My Shoulder! Man, can he play!

Jon and Aaron just command attention with their beats and rhythm! Such musicians! I can't wait for their next album! They did not skip one beat! Being close to the speakers, I found myself trying to catch my breath with the power those two can create!

A magical Penis on a Stick made an appearance during The Ex. Not really sure what that was about, but it made me laugh really hard! Only at a Billy Talent show!

Oh, we can't forget the merch table! Loved it! Loved it! Grabbed a tour shirt, and the saintly woman smashing a serpent with a Billy Talent cross one (is it St. Veronika?!), grabbed a couple of FU MS bracelets, but I missed the tote bags - dang it!

It was a little bit after 11pm, we went outside and it was frickin' snowing! SNOWING! Geez! All I needed was to be murdered by Sasquatch to make this trip perfect! We waited a while to see if we could take a pic with one of the guys to validate us being there. But, the cold was terrible! Wanting to catch the local Tim Horton's before it closed (we don't have a Timmy's where I'm from), we left and had to cut through our hotel...and Ian, Jon and Aaron were in the hotel lobby taking pics with some fans. Awww...such awesome guys! I didn't wanna bother them, so we just went about our business and headed over to our room before my toes snapped off!

It was truly a great show and I hope that they do come back to the States! Where it can be warmer!

Thanks for the fantastic show!

Submitted by metalmulisha on April 16, 2010

It was an absolutely amazing show. They played a solid 2 hour set putting in songs from all of there albums *Except Watoosh". I didn't really know what to expect because up till this point I had never seen them live. They along with Alexis on Fire rocked the hell out of the Cunard center. The whole concert was none stop energy. I know there is only a little amount of time for a show but when they come back I hope they play Perfect World or the Navy Song. I figured for sure they would have played the latter since it's the navys 100 centenial and they were in Halifax where Canada's Navy was born. I'm biased though because I am Navy so. Either way that doesn't distract from the awesome time that was had but what seemed like everyone.

I went with my best friend from the middle of nowhere WNY thinking we wouldn't even be able to see them. We just wanted to go to Toronto and hopefully see our favorite bands, luckily we showed up a little before 11. I've seen them six or seven times now and this was the best I've seen them. The crowd was great, the horseshoe tavern was as well. Naturally though, Billy Talent was the most amazing part. The four hour drive with the border cross was definitely worth it, even the four hour drive back afterwords. It would have been worth it to drive twelve hours. Thank you for a wonderful show Billy, thank you as well, Toronto

Submitted by Derski on June 09, 2010

The show at Hurricane festival was really great. My friend and I were looking forward to see Billy Talent live, so we thought it would be a great idea to be in the front. But that was a mistake, because we were right in the middle before the stage and when the band finally came on stage, everyone started to jump around like it was the last time they could do that. I mean, they can do that at other times, but not when it's so close that you could hardly move in advance! So we left the middle and went closer to the exit. There we were even closer to the stage, we could see much better and nobody tried to crush us. Anyway, this show flashed us and was super fun and my voice is still not completely back.
Before the appearance of Billy Talent the mood was even good, but when they started to play, it went much better and everyone seemed to be in heaven. On June 30. I'm going to see them again! Wohoo!

BY THE WAY,BILLY TALENT ARE GOING TO PLAY SHOWS WITH GREEN DAY IN PARIS AND PRAGUE WHICH IS GREAT, BUT I CAN'T MAKE IT TO PARIS/PRAGUE, SO I HOPE THE TWO BEST BANDS OF THE WORLD WILL PLAY TOGETHER IN GERMANY SOON!!!
And I'm not the only one who thinks so, so we all really hope this happens one day. It would be a dream come true!!!

I never heard of Billy Talent, (just thought I hope they sound better dan Billy Idol, he ain't got talent haha). I was really surprised by the energy, the sound. Just a three piece band added with vocals: Great!! On the festival I bought your 666 CD/DVD and dryving back home (great song of the Golden Earring),far to the northern part of the Netherlands I was addicted to your Songs. In Holland I checked out your website and saw, that you have been playing in Groningen(Oosterpoort), that's only 15 km from where I live: Damned!!!! Why did I go al the way tot GrasPOP Belgium: Slayer, Slayer, Slayer!!!! Question: Why aren't you playing on the big Dutch Festivals in Hollands as Lowlands?? I''m nobody in Festivalland, but I'm gonna get you there guys in august 2011.

Well, first of all I would like to apologize for the metalheads on Graspop ... What can I say ... Slayer fans are a little bit fanatic :p
I think your show was great. The sound was good, the weather was great .. it was the first time I heard you songs from the last album live, and I got the impression that they sounded even better than on the CD.
I hope that we, Belgians, will get the chance to enjoy your music soon in a smaller concert hall, like for example in 2007 Vaartkapoen (btw one of the most impressive shows that I've ever seen).

I loved how BT interacted with the fans. Ben was talking to us, Jon was "posing" for the cameras, you could see the joy, Ian had when he was playing, and Aaron's fun.

I've been to a lot of concerts, but that one was the best of all.

Kyle, my best friend, and I are huge Billy Talent fans and have been ever since hearing "River Below" and "Try Honesty" on the radio way back when. After we decided to go to Rock on the Range we bought tickets, however Kyle didn't realize Billy Talent would be playing and this was his first time seeing them. Couldn't of asked for a better concert. It was a small group of people but those of us there were diehard. Billy Talent didn't dissapoint. I rember seeing a guy next to us and he was huge, just moshing to himself and singing the songs at the top of his lungs and I remember thinking this is how a cocnert is supposed to be. Kyle crowd surfed for the first time to "Try Honesty" and it couldn't of been more perfect. This cocert was also the first time I heard "Rusted from the Rain" and it was done in true Billy Talent fashion. I had other friends who had never heard them before at the concert and on my suggestion she saw them. Needless to say the next day at work she thanked me, ask me for a list of their CDs and went out and bought them. Amazing, I will always love Billy Talent.

Well so yesterday I went to Stuttgart to be on my first Billy Talent Concert ever.
I really didn't know what to expect, but I was overwhelmed, amazed and absolutely faszinated on how cool the show was!
I was pretty much in the front, basically standing in like the 5th row, but as soon as Billy Talen came on stage, people started the Pogo-Dance and I was pushed further to the front, standing right in front of the stage.
I had an awesome view and enjoyed every minute of the show.
I liked the comments on the LKA-Place and it's non-existing AirCondition, which cause everybody to sweat like crazy. Only good thing: It got BT to throw tons of Waterbottles and Ice Cubes into the crowd, but sadly I didn't get any Bottle and nothing. Well, whatever.
At the moment I am still to much somewhere up in space with my thoughts, so I really can't get my mind to write anything that makes more sense, or get myself to remember more than just that one thought: AWESOME!
BT, thank you for the awesome show!

I saw this whole gig from the first row. What a amazing feeling it was! Me and my friend were there waiting right away the gates were opened. First crazy thing that happened, was that before Rise Against, Ben came to the stage and just chilled there with some staff man! Haha. Then came Aaron ja Jon and it was just insane to see them watching there Rise Against to play. And Ben was dancing! HAHA. He also sang along with Tim in ''Prayer of the Refugee'' and it was awesome.

When guys last played in Finland, I saw them from the first row too, so I have some high expectations, but they were truly filled, when the show was on. Even the setlist was very ''safe'' and there were no surprises on it, it was totally cool to hear all these songs live again. All guys seemed to have great time, and audience seemed to have such awesome time! I loved that little larking also where Ben took the hose and wet us all! :-D Concert was amazing!

Red Flag was awesome! its such an energetic song, the crowd went nuts, and its the perfect song to close a show off with. Ben promised they would come back to South Africa and Cape Town if the crowd promised to come back and see them, and of course we shouted "FUCK YESSS!!" So i can't wait for you guys to come back.

I write this not out of poetry or conspiracy to promote Billy Talents own ploys of conviction and exponential growth.But out of a necessity to let the people know and the truth be told.-
I had never heard of Billy Talent even as a working & performing muso and varied listener(Jazz,Rock,HipHop,House,Afro,Classical etc).But what I was to witness between 22h30 and 23h30 sunday evening the 8th of August.
Was hands down the greatest performance I've ever witnessed on a stage in my entire life.It was as if these guys had sold their souls to the devil and couldn't do wrong or sound wrong.They had the entire audience of 15 000 plus including myself in a trance and awe and had full command of ALL my senses.In that moment there was only Billy Talent and the world was their playground.And play they did.The high fibre musicianship each musician displayed-the undisputable prowess of the vocalist-the power of song.The energy resultant thereof culminated in the birth of the greatest band in the world and my coming to realise their presence.
Billy Talent is the best band in the world-and if you haven't seen them.Then you haven't seen the best show in the world.

Hey guys! I have to say that you were amazing on Sziget Festival. The show was epic! This was my first Billy Talent concert, and I knew just few songs, but it didn't matter. I liked that we were involved in the show! "over and over" :D And you promised us that you come back, so may I suggest two words: VERY SOON! :D I will be there!

It was amazing to see how they put in all their energy yesterday. Plus I was surprized how good their sound was -- rest of the Main Stage shows ranged from not good to very bad.

I could write a novel about how perfect the show was and how I love the band... Anyway, BT really should come back to Hungary.

I was waiting for the gig from May, and was so excited that the best band in the world would come to Poland. I was so happy to see you guys live and hope you will come to Poland again very soon. I can't wait to see you again. I wish, I could't have a chance to meet you after the show. I heard, that some mates managed to get your autographs and that you are really available for your fans :). Maybe next time I'll be more lucky. Love you so much guys!!!

It was my third Billy Talent show, the best I think. Rock in summer gave me a great opportunity to hear you and Bad Religion together. You have appeared so unexpectedly! I was surprised, that you played 16 songs in 75 minutes, but it was still too short. Thank you for songs I did not expected -River below and Prisoners of today. It is only a pity, that you did not play Tears into wine, This is how it goes and my favourite one -Covered in cowardice. I hope you liked "Red flag" action from our Polish fanclub. You were right -Bad Religion is great band. Thank you for meeting before and especially after the show. I wish you great time in Canada, hope you will record the best album ever and come back to Poland soon.

One of the best day in my life.
That was my first concert and I'm so happy that I saw you guys. It was so amazing to heard thats songs (that I've listened all months before) live with much more power. The show was unbelievible enegetic, crowd was ''sick'' of all that adrenalin in the air ;D
I was in the first roar !!!
Cannot wait to see you next times 'cause LIVE gigs are one of the best thing which could happened in our lifes ^^

It was my first concert of BT and I can't wait to see your next live performance. I could feel the music in my veins. Ben had a great contact with audience and it was really funny when he tried to pronounce his surname :) We have to teach you next time. I've already tried to teach you how to correctly say "i love you" in Polish because everyone says "Kocham Cie" not "Ja Kocham Ciebie" but you didn't remeber :) All of you guys are really likeable and pleasant. It was nice to meet you before concert and thanks for the autographs.
I only regret you didn't play " This Is How It Goes", "Pins And Needles", "Perfect World" and "Tears Into Wine":( You should come to Poland soon and give a gig with all of your great songs. Polish fans are waiting for you. And why you never play such great songs like "Covered in cowardice" or "Don't Need to Pretend" or "Bloody Nails And Broken Hearts" or "Definition Of Destiny"? That's my dream to hear all of your songs live. I wish you'd play it next time. Thank you for your fantastic show and hopefully see you soon :)

One of the best concerts in my life, full of energy with great comments from Ben and suprisingly Ian spoke too. It looked that guys were really enjoying it, so as the audience did. I came from Czech Republic to see them, I have to say it was worth it. I hope the guys will go on tour next year, maybe with their new record, I am already looking forward to it. Thank you very much Billy Talent, go on with the great work.

Having listened to 3 of their songs i felt i should see these guys live to give em a fair chance after hearing the first song i was immediately in the front row and loved every second

By far, THE best band I've ever seen live. The atmosphere could not have been any better. Not just quality music being belted out by the legendary Benjamin Kowalewicz and hundreds of devoting fans, but yet again another chorus of 'F*ck the Kings of Leon' from the crowd. Biggest regret of my life? Not seeing Billy Talent at Reading '09. Why didn't I? - my friend's a KOL fan. Yes, it saddens me too. I really can't see why anyone would choose Kings of Leon over Billy Talent. Forget the glittery guitars, Billy Talent has just what it says on the tin; talent.

Having never really listened to Billy Talent before, I must say I am impressed. They performed amazingly, interacted with the audience and created a very entertaining show. I will definitely try to see them again!
