Alter Bridge with Bled Life and Coldville at The Intersection


Alter Bridge, Bled Life and Coldville
at The Intersection
Grand Rapids, Michigan


The Intersection played host to Alter Bridge; opening for them were two well known bands: Bled Life and Coldville on Friday the 15th of July. Last Friday had perfect weather for waiting in line, not too hot but in the lower 70's without rain. The only thing to worry about was the estimated 4,000 pokemon hunters taking up the parking spaces.

This was all worth the struggle of finding a parking spot to see Alter Bridge.  The Intersection is like a home away from home being very hospitable to their customers and security keeps the peace so everyone can have a great time.  My assistant/metal son and I were very much interested in seeing Alter Bridge,Bled Life, and Coldville. Experiencing Alter Bridge live is a check mark off my bucket list alongside seeing Ozzy Osbourne at Ozzfest in 2007.

My assistant had the honor of covering Slash with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators at The Orbit Room in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2012 for concert photos magazine. I enjoyed watching at the side of the stage while my assistant/son took some amazing pictures.

Last Wednesday May 11th The Intersection hosted a metal show featuring Devildriver, Holy Grail, Incite, Hemlock and Skinjacket.  The evening was roughly a pleasant and  dry 75 degrees for a very comfortable wait in line wearing short and a concert shirt was just right.  I was reflecting back on the day before while waiting in line for Hellyeah, Escape The Fate, New Year’s Day and From Ashes To New, when it was a rainy 50 degrees with wind.

We’re All In This Together Tour
featuring
Hellyeah
Escape The Fate
New Years Day
From Ashes To New
at
The Intersection
Grand Rapids, Michigan


This last Tuesday night The Intersection hosted a metal show titled We’re All In This Together featuring Hellyeah, Escape The Fate, New Years Day and From Ashes To New.  Last Tuesday night May tenth the diehard metal and rock fans stood in line enduring the 50 degree rainy weather some just wearing concert shirts or soaked jackets.  Many looked liked they just got of work same as me.  


While other people ate dinner at home the fans in line feasted on a sonic buffet.  This really had shown how much they liked the bands to go through the bad weather.  And the show was sold out on a Tuesday work night also had show how much the fans like the bands.
