Linkin Park/Thirty Seconds to Mars/AFI September 5, 2014 Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Houston, TX

Let me start with a caveat. I am a huge Linkin Park fan. I have seen them on the last three tours and have found inspiration in their music since they first hit the scene. That being said, I felt it was really important to be hyper critical and look for any flaws I could find so […]
