Queens of the Stone Age Rock Edmonton

There's More to the West Than Mountains and Prairie
If you think about the Canadian music scene, do you hear trumpets or harmonicas?

Edmonton is more used to country and folk than heavy rock, but that isn’t to say that there’s no place for it here. In fact, when Queens of the Stone Age came to town, not only did their fans come from the local area, but they also streamed in from BC, Saskatchewan, and beyond.

We got caught in between the weather and the opening act as we walked to the venue. You could see the hesitance in people’s steps, because it had been raining a lot up until that point. As we filed into the building, we were absolutely drenched, but we didn’t care. The music was going to be worth it.

The Agony and the Ecstasy of the Sound

The sound of the band as they came on stage was deafening, but it was beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that people started surfing the crowd. My friend and I were off to the side, so we just bobbed along with the beat until we got swept up in the crowd. I had never seen something so beautiful in my life, and I knew that I was a part of something special.

The rest of the concert was a blur. I remember hearing the band play, but I don’t remember much else. I remember the feeling of the music flowing through my veins. I remember the feeling of being connected to something bigger than myself.

And then, the concert was over. As we left, everyone was talking about how amazing it had been, and I couldn’t help but agree. I had never seen anything like it before, and I knew that I would never forget it.

What was amazing was that the concert was more than just a concert: it was an experience. It was a celebration of life, and it was a reminder that anything is possible if you just believe in yourself.
The Queens of the Stone Age are a band that will stay with me for the rest of my life. They are a band that has helped me to believe in myself, and they are a band that has made me appreciate the power of music.
