A Day To Remember: The Least Anticipated Album Tour 

ADTR Puts on a Show to Remember 

A Day To Remember, easily one of the most popular mainstream metal bands, took the stage at Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, NC, this past Tuesday (7/2/24). True to their name, they put on “A Show to Remember.” Accompanied by Pain of Truth, Four Year Strong, and The Story So Far, ADTR wowed not only me but also the thousands of people in attendance with their iconic songs and a party-like atmosphere. My first experience seeing ADTR was in 2021 at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival. At the time, I was not a fan of the metal scene, yet I discovered that just about anyone can have a good time at an ADTR show. From commanding rhythms and beats to CO2 cannons, pyrotechnics, and even beach balls, the show was an intoxicating euphoria. Now, three years later, I am such a big fan of the metal scene and genre that I am volunteering as a mixed media concert journalist just so I can attend more shows. I can’t help but feel that my initial experience with ADTR played a large part in that development.

ADTR-2

While ADTR may lean slightly more towards mainstream/pop metal, they definitely showcase an affinity for the heavier side, as evidenced by the first band of the night. Opening the show was Pain of Truth, a band quickly making a name for itself in the hardcore scene. Led by frontman Michael Smith, their set was a visceral, adrenaline-fueled display of anger, attitude, energy, and rage. The lineup includes Nik Hansen and Ridge Rhine on guitars, Chris Rini on drums, and Zach Stachura on bass. POT-2 If you’re curious about their pedigree, just look through their features; with names like Terror, Bad Seed, King Nine, Billy Club Sandwich, and many others, it’s evident that this band is destined to leave a mark on the scene. It was clear from the start of their set that those who had arrived in time for the opener were there specifically for Pain of Truth, not just to secure a good spot for the main event. In terms of moshing and reckless engagement, Pain of Truth undoubtedly ignited the most activity I saw in the audience all night.

FYS-9

Taking the stage next was Four Year Strong, a band technically categorized as American easycore/pop-punk from Worcester, Massachusetts. The four-man band consists of Alan Day and Dan O’Connor on guitars and vocals, Joe Weiss on bass, and Jake Massucco on drums. Their most recent album, “Brain Pain,” was released by Pure Noise Records on February 28th, 2020.

FYS-1

They kicked off their set with the title track “Brain Pain,” and proceeded to play a variety of their tracks, including the song” uncooked” from their not-yet-released album “Analysis Paralysis,” due out on August 9th, 2024. The crowd responded energetically to the new material, showcasing the band’s ability to blend catchy pop-punk melodies with hardcore intensity. 

TSSF-1

The Story So Far, hailing from Walnut Creek, California, took the stage after Four Year Strong. Named after a 2002 song by New Found Glory, with whom they later toured in 2012, the band has gained recognition in the pop-punk realm. Their LP “Under Soil and Dirt” was ranked in Rock Sound’s list of The 51 Most Essential Pop Punk Albums of All Time, alongside other iconic bands like Simple Plan, All American Rejects, Green Day, and The Offspring. However, I found their performance to be lackluster and unenergetic, a sentiment echoed by many fans post-show. Lead vocalist Parker Cannon spent the majority of the set with a subdued demeanor, clutching the microphone and his pants, showing little emotion. This was further reflected in my photographs from the event, where he appeared detached throughout the performance.

ADTR-8

ADTR was everything I remembered and everything I hoped for. The audience was thrilled with anticipation, and the energy was palpable. Just like the last two times I saw them, they kicked off with a bang, literally. Confetti cannons fired during their opening song “Sticks & Bricks,” setting the tone for the exhilarating show to come. ADTR’s history is as rich as its discography. They signed what many called a deal with the devil with Victory Records in 2007, and were notoriously mistreated by the label’s owner, Tony Brummel. Credited with ending this mistreatment, they won their lawsuit against Victory, which eventually forced Brummel to sell the company. They continued to release music independently, proving with their album “Common Courtesy” and hits like “Right Back At It Again” that they didn’t need major label backing to succeed. Recent legal troubles led to Josh Woodard’s departure from the band, and he has been replaced by an unnamed and unidentifiable guitarist for their “Least Anticipated Album Tour.” Despite my searches on the band’s Instagram, website, and the internet, I couldn’t find any information about this mysterious guitarist who appears in all the show photos.

ADTR-7

After my three songs were up and I was permitted to re-enter the venue, I was eager to recapture the euphoria I had felt previously, now as a more committed fan of the scene. It was upon re-entering that I noticed the venue’s segregation. For me, concerts are a place of equality—especially rock, metal, and hardcore shows—and it didn’t sit right with me that the majority of the audience was excluded from “The Pit” where moshing and crowd surfing take place, simply because they didn’t purchase upgrade tickets. Perhaps I’m more accustomed to bands at festivals or smaller venues, but being unable to get close to the action and feel the energy seemed unfair. While I stayed and enjoyed ADTR from a distance, I found myself constantly on my tiptoes, trying to peer over into the VIP area to gauge the size of the mosh pit or catch some cool crowd surfing. Speaking of which, if you’ve never been to an ADTR concert, they have a unique bit where they encourage the audience to stand/surf on top of someone who is already crowd surfing—a staple of their performances. I believe this division in the crowd is likely a venue regulation, not a tour ploy to make more money.

ADTR-12

In the end, this night with A Day To Remember and the rest of the lineup at Red Hat Amphitheater was a full-throttle blast from start to finish, reminding me why I fell in love with the metal and hardcore scene. Despite the slight disappointment with the venue’s segregated sections, the concerts showed that music—especially the kind with guitars cranked up and drums that hit hard—still has the power to unite us. Each band brought something unique to the stage, from Pain of Truth’s raw ferocity to ADTR’s anthemic bangers that had us all reaching for the sky, even if from a distance. And while the mysterious new guitarist for ADTR added an element of intrigue, the night was ultimately about the music and the community it fosters. As the lights went down and the final echoes of the encore faded, I walked away with my ears ringing, my heart full, and a renewed sense of connection to this wildly pulsating world of metal and hardcore music. No matter the barriers, the spirit of the pit—unyielding and wild—lives on in every chord struck and every lyric belted. Tonight, just like that first time at Blue Ridge, I was reminded why this music, this scene, is a relentless force in my life.

    We discover that blood pressure will spike to excessive levels on trenbolone
    alone; however, with the inclusion of Anadrol, it’ll go
    to a whole new degree. If cycles are used sparingly,
    we now have seen hair loss reverse post-cycle; nonetheless,
    if somebody aggressively makes use of these steroids
    long-term, hair loss can be permanent. Trenbolone was never intended for humans; it was
    utilized in veterinary medication to bulk up cattle (2) earlier than going to slaughter.

    Nonetheless, it wasn’t lengthy before bodybuilders noticed the
    anabolic effects in animals and started experimenting on themselves.
    Such exams had been an enormous success, though their features came at a value (experiencing harsh
    side effects). Dr. O’Connor has over 20 years of experience treating men and women with a history of anabolic
    steroid, SARM, and PED use. He has been a board-certified MD since 2005 and supplies steering on hurt reduction methodologies.

    Using these substances can pose significant well being dangers,
    and it’s usually illegal to use them for non-medical purposes in lots of countries.

    This article is only informational and is meant to provide balanced,
    medically accurate particulars to help readers make informed selections.
    It’s easy to see how the effects of Tren can benefit the
    chopping section and they are often nearly if not just as helpful
    to the off-season or bulking phase.
    Nonetheless, numerous Tren users do, and it might possibly vary from mild to reasonable lack of ability to fall or stay asleep,
    right up to severe insomnia where you’re barely getting any sleep at all.
    In the worst circumstances, some guys will flip to medications or other
    sleeping aids to handle this problem because if you’re not
    sleeping well, your outcomes and efficiency are in jeopardy.
    Despite Tren being a dry compound, the opposite two will
    result in water retention, so contemplate including some cardio
    to your workouts to scale back any spike in blood pressure.

    Others claim to be utilizing it for months at a time at doses below 300mg/week.

    Nonetheless, these unwanted facet effects could be fastened by taking testosterone steroids along with
    Tren-Ace. Nonetheless, superior users may determine to boost their dosage up
    to 500 mg per week maximum in the occasion that they
    so want. For those looking for even more extended
    motion from their steroids, Parabolan or Tren-hex
    is another option that offers a 14-day half-life. To prevent this
    and different unwanted unwanted aspect effects, publish
    cycle therapy (PCT) ought to be employed following a Tren cycle.
    Because your blood strain rises on Tren, it additionally makes endurance-based exercise/cardio more difficult, as your blood isn’t flowing as effectively.

    One of the main advantages of Trenbolone Acetate is its ability to promote muscle
    growth and increase energy. It Is usually compared to different steroids, similar to Deca Durabolin and
    Dianabol, which are also known for their muscle-building properties.
    However, many bodybuilders favor Trenbolone Acetate because it
    tends to produce less water retention than these different steroids, which
    can lead to a extra defined and lean look. Post-cycle therapy (PCT) can be an essential consideration when utilizing Trenbolone Acetate.

    Symptoms of tren-flu can embody sweating, headache, dizziness, fever,
    and other indicators you’d count on to be similar to an actual
    flu. For personal use, which is how most bodybuilders will use Tren Ace,
    laws are strict in the Usa where it’s illegal to purchase, promote, or possess AAS, including Trenbolone, even for personal use.
    It is corresponding to a downer and can come about
    in case your injection schedule isn’t common enough.
    But some guys will just be vulnerable to low temper, and this
    alone is often a deal breaker for using Tren in the worst circumstances.
    Increased blood strain and heartburn are extra negative features famous by
    some customers. Nonetheless, not all bodybuilding users will
    welcome it, and you actually must be mentally strong to resist the urge to overeat when you’re on a strict diet, or results will go out the window quick.

    Tren a is extra commonly used for slicing and tren e for including muscle
    mass, however both variations are very efficient at reaching fats loss and muscle features.
    Because they’re each powerful anabolic steroids, many individuals like
    to check trenbolone vs testosterone. While trenbolone isn’t as androgenic or estrogenic
    as testosterone, it can nonetheless produce extreme unwanted side effects
    in high doses. Research has additionally proven that environmental exposure to trenbolone
    will increase the production of amyloid-beta plaques within the mind, indicating the development of Alzheimer’s illness and cognitive decline [7].
    Trenbolone acetate and different tren esters are
    clinically intriguing because of their lesser androgenic and greater anabolic exercise than testosterone esters,
    like testosterone propionate and cypionate [5].

    The beautiful physical effects males get with Masteron are popping veins and a leaner face with extra
    jawline definition. All in all, hardness, dryness, and even some mild graininess (not at Winstrol levels)
    are outcomes males get with Masteron. More than a couple of guys
    state that Masteron has caused the worst zits they’ve experienced with any steroid.

    Whether Or Not you’ll undergo from the same level of acne (I’m speaking on the face, back,
    chest, and more) is only a person response.
    While these are some critical risks, there is another threat if
    you purchase Trenbolone Acetate on-line that blows the others
    out of the water. In the united states anabolic androgenic steroids are categorized as
    Schedule III controlled substances by means of the Steroid Management Act of 1990.
    In the us the only means you presumably can legally purchase and possesses an anabolic steroid is with a prescription. Additional, this prescription must be based
    mostly on a need that has been deemed justified by the federal government.
    Even more it must be an permitted FDA steroid; an approved steroid on the basis of permitted authorities use no matter
    any other attainable medical benefit. Yes, we’re talking about U.S.
    law, not the former Soviet Union; we understand you might need
    been confused. A few countries all over the world share the strict
    steroid laws of the us, however very few come as near
    the extent of regulation as the U.S.
    Each day could be fantastic but won’t actually present a lot of
    a benefit over each different day. However, it’s
    possible to only inject the hormone on a standard three day a week schedule,
    corresponding to each Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
    This will trigger a slight dip in blood
    levels with the 2 days in a row of no administration, however, exterior of competitors circles, it actually shouldn’t be an enormous deal
    and even noticeable.

    I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both
    equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about.

    Now i’m very happy I came across this in my hunt for something relating to
    this. The weight limits for aerial platforms can vary significantly based
    on the type and design of the platform. Here are some general guidelines
    for different types of aerial platforms:

    ### 1. **Scissor Lifts**
    – **Weight Limit**: Typically range from **500 to 2,
    500 pounds** (227 to 1,134 kg).
    – **Notes**: Smaller models may support lighter loads,
    while heavy-duty scissor lifts can handle more substantial weights.

    ### 2. **Boom Lifts**
    – **Weight Limit**: Generally between **300 and
    1,000 pounds** (136 to 453 kg).
    – **Notes**: The specific limit depends on the model and reach.
    Articulating boom lifts may have different limits compared to
    telescopic boom lifts.

    ### 3. **Forklift Aerial Platforms**
    – **Weight Limit**: Commonly between **1,000 and 1,500 pounds** (454 to
    680 kg).
    – **Notes**: The limit includes the combined weight of personnel and tools.
    Always refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for precise limits.

    ### 4. **Personnel Lifts**
    – **Weight Limit**: Usually around **300
    to 500 pounds** (136 to 227 kg).
    – **Notes**: Designed specifically for lifting personnel, these lifts prioritize safety and stability.

    ### 5. **Trailer-Mounted Aerial Platforms**
    – **Weight Limit**: Typically between **500 and 1,500 pounds**
    (227 to 680 kg).
    – **Notes**: The weight limit can vary based on the trailer’s design and intended use.

    ### Important Considerations

    – **Manufacturer Specifications**: Always refer to the specific manufacturer’s guidelines for the exact weight limits of any aerial platform.

    – **Load Distribution**: It’s not just the total weight that matters; how the weight
    is distributed can affect stability and safety.

    – **Dynamic Loads**: Consider that dynamic
    loads (like swaying or sudden movements) can impact the effective weight
    capacity of the platform.
    – **Safety Margins**: It’s advisable to stay well
    below the maximum weight limit to ensure safe operation and stability.

    ### Conclusion

    Understanding the weight limits for different aerial platforms is crucial for safe operation. Always adhere to manufacturer guidelines and conduct thorough inspections before use to maintain safety standards.
