These are four grown men who are no taller than me and they all continue to inspire me everyday.
I recently had the opportunity to see my favorite band, Fall Out Boy, for the third time in my life. You'd think that after the first time, it would surely get boring for me to see them perform the same songs over and over, but it hasn't.
The first time I saw Fall Out Boy was in 2013, right after they had come back from their break. It was such an amazing experience, and I can honestly say it changed my life. Before 2013, I had been a fan since my earlier years, when I was about 7 or 8. I didn't know too much about them, but I knew a couple of songs, and I was hooked from that point on.
First concerts are life changing. Second concerts are just as important, and will confirm how much this artist means to you. Third concerts, and so on, will feel like falling in love with the music all over again. I think everyone should see their favorite artist at least once in their life.
Whether you manage to catch super close seats or you're shoved up in the highest row of the stadium, it's worth it no matter what.
Music written and performed by your favorite musician has a powerful impact on your life. Just listening to music you enjoy can turn your entire day around, and it can improve your mood in an instant.
To me, the four guys of Fall Out Boy have influenced my musical creativity to such a high level that if I ever met them, I'd ask so many questions about what inspired some of my favorite songs and albums.
Even if you're not particularly musical, it could still be a great experience to hear some of your favorite songs live, surrounded by hundreds of other fans who love that artist as much as you do.
There's nothing quite like seeing so many people coming together as an audience to celebrate music, let alone being a part of it.
In the end, having a good time and enjoying the experience is the biggest part of liking a musician. Whether you have plans to see your favorite artist in concert or not, that doesn't make you any more or less of a fan.
