"The fucking energy in here."

"I know. I fucking know."

The first thing I noticed when we entered the venue was how huge it was, and that it was totally packed. I couldn't even hear myself think as the chatter of the crowd bounced off of the walls and the ceiling. The air was thick and hot and just totally intoxicating. 

I was so fucking pumped.

"This is so sick!" Kristen laughed, grabbing my wrist and running straight over to the bar for our first drinks of the night; two shots each.

The warm up band, Dungen, were already in full swing. We ordered ourselves a couple more drinks to take with us as we walked toward the front of the stage to dance. I'd always thought dancing and singing at a concert would be embarrassing, but I was completely incorrect. Everyone was too busy doing their own thing to pay attention to what anyone else was doing. In no time we were throwing our heads back and forth and shouting along to the lyrics. 

They sang for about 15 more minutes before bowing and telling us to enjoy the show. I grabbed Kris' hand in mine and gave it a tight squeeze, biting my lip in anticipation.

I saw two figures walk on stage, and as they got closer to the front of the stage, the screaming of the crowd upped times one thousand.

I didn't understand. Neither of them were members of Wolfmother.

Kristen began screaming too and legged it to the front of the stage where the figures stood lapping up the excitement of the crowd. I stood by myself, completely dumbfounded. Where were Andrew, Chris and Myles?

"Hello Sydney!" One of the guys, the tallest one, yelled into the microphone. He grinned from ear to ear along with his friend as the crowd praised them even louder. Who the FUCK are THEY?

"My name is Johnny Knoxville," He breathed, drowned out by screaming once again. I could see people reaching out to him at the front of the stage. He took a swig of his drink and laughed lightly, his friend nodding along.

"Here we go - home town boys made good," He yelled, "Please experience, WOLFMOTHER!"

The two guys began to head off stage with a wave to the audience and exchanged friendly glances with the band as they made their way on stage. Johnny Knoxville... name kind of rings a bell. Maybe he's a model? Would make sense, he is rather attractive. 

Now I was the one pushing forward to the front of the crowd. Kristen chucked her arm around me as I went to stand beside her and we both put our hands up towards the roof ready to pump our fists. The first chords started playing and I was already screeching; Andrew lashed his hair back and forth with every strum of his electric guitar. Kristen smiled as she recognised the song.

A/N: play youtube vid for full experience :)

I said the Joker is a wanted man,

He makes his way all across the land,

See him sifting through the sand,

So I'll tell you all the story 'bout the Joker and the Thief in the night.

We just went fucking crazy. 

Myles rocked the drums and I had trouble focusing on any single band member. My eyes were overwhelmed with lights and movement so I just closed them and jumped up and down punching the air. Andrew riffed his guitar at the final chords of the song and the crowd went wild.

The crowd screamed for a good five minutes, gearing them up for the next song but they seemed distracted by something side stage. 8 or 9 men piled out, including the two guys from before and the guy that Kris said was called Steve-O.

"We have some very special guests here tonight," Andrew panted into the microphone, out of breath and sporting a huge grin on his face. The crowd went nuts and Johnny Knoxville slung his arm around him, "These guys here, who I'm sure you all know from Jackass on MTV, are helping us shoot a music video." 

Kristen was screaming her lungs out and grabbing towards the group of men. She was so loud the Steve-O guy heard. He watched her, laughing, and spotted me next to her and waved. Although I had no idea who this man was, other than the fact he's on MTV, I smiled and waved back. 

"They're gonna help us sing this next song which I'm sure you'll all know," Andrew spoke into the mic while giving a nod to one of the Jackass guys, "This is 'Dimension'."

Myles howled and Andrew followed, strumming the first few chords of the song. I threw my head back and forth and shook the barricade, my bracelets banging and hooking on the bar.

I screamed along to the song but I couldn't even hear myself. All of our voices blended together in a loud chant. 

I watched as the Jackass guys moved across the stage, most playing a generic air guitar every few seconds. Steve-O and another shirtless guy were grabbing onto each other and trying to flip across the stage but were failing miserably, and ended up just continually slamming each other into the ground. 

Another guy, the one who'd stood up with Johnny before to introduce the band, was downing a corona at lightening speed as his friend cheered him on, before smashing said corona bottle smashed over his head.

This was so fucking staged. 

Bet it was one of them fake glass bottles or something; that shit obviously didn't hurt. I mean they're up hugging each other now... but his heads bleeding? He's actually hurt? No, he can't be, these guys are from MTV how truly gnarly could they be?

 Everyone threw their hands up in the air for the end of the song and everyone began to sing louder as the Jackass guys brought their hands up asking for more energy.

"Bam! That's Bam!" Kristen screamed into my ear as the dude who had the corona came toward the front of the stage.

'Bam' grinned as the girls in front of him grabbed at his combat boots and people began pushing in front of me to get to him. I became sandwiched between two grown women with their shirts pulled up, nipples covered by skull and crossbone stickers. 

I looked around in panic for a path out, and a small gap opened up behind me. I went to move through it but felt a huge weight slam into the back of my head.

And that's when it all went to shit.

I stood on my shoelace and toppled backward, I had no time to grab onto someone to steady myself as the weight continued to push down on me.

The back of my head hit the ground, and I was out.
