I think it was Dark Tranquillity, no wait I saw Testament at this Cancer benifit! Yeah...I'm going to Ozzfest just to see Arch Enemy and Iron Maiden. It probly won't be as good as the time I saw AE with Slayer, or the time I saw them with Cradle Of Filth. Yeah...I'm seeing Therion next month

Well i dunno if it counts as a concert but the last live band i saw was this Sunshine rainbow club thing. i was in 2nd grade and they forced us to see it.

Other than that i wouldn't shell out money to hear the same songs i have on CD

Well I don't know what you listen to but when metal bands play live they change up the solos and stuff so it's not the same song. So much enegery it's bad ass!

I went to the TOOL/Mesuggah concert. Mesuggah the backup band rock the house compared to TOOL. I threw a 32oz bottle on the floor, I hope no one got hurt from it. And people were jumping off the stands to get the the ground floor to stage surf.

The last gigs I saw were part of a two day festival so I got to see Audioslave, QOTSA, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Jackson United and some of The Killers. Bands I saw that I didn't like were The Revs and... that's all I remember. Good weekend though, all the bands were great and I got an Audioslave tour tshirt! Pity I had an asthma attack on the first night and had to be taken away by ambulance... that sucked...

The last gig I went to was a Reel Big Fish one in London. It was good but ruined by most of the fans.

That's the problem with RBF, they attract so many stupid little 'teeny-rockers' who think it's cool to mosh or flail about to ska music.

I also witnessed the most retarded thing ever - circle pits. So everyone backs out to form a circular gap, knocking unsuspecting people flying, then you all decide on a clockwise or anti-clockwise flow and then just run into the space flailing like an idiot?

I'm also annoyed because my friend had bought two t-shirts and was holding another friend's digital camera in his bag when some idiot ripped it open and both went missing. One person actually threw the t-shirts to the band (why?) and the digital camera was just never seen again.

I saw him twice. Once on Ozzfest, where it was entertaining just to see his stage show. And then the second time he sucked and didn't do any of the cool stage show stuff he did before. Plus the band was boring and they just stood there. I felt no engery...

I just saw Megadeth, Dream Theater, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Fear Factory, and a few other bands all together this past Sunday.

Before that, within the past month or so:

-MSI
-mc chris
-Dead Kennedys
-The Aquabats/The Phenomenauts/The Epoxies
-The Mars Volta/System of a Down

As far as Manson goes: his new tour sucks, and the replacement band members (even Tweaker) suck harder.

Mmmm The last concert or gig I when to was a fair few years ago now, in London at the underworld night club. I went to see Peter and the Test Tube Babies with my mates. Just as something to do, I didn't even know the band exsisted until I went.


I also witnessed the most retarded thing ever - circle pits. So everyone backs out to form a circular gap, knocking unsuspecting people flying, then you all decide on a clockwise or anti-clockwise flow and then just run into the space flailing like an idiot?


The very reason I stopped going, I didn't relish the thought of ending up in Accident & Emergency or being splattered with some strangers blood after a moshing accident (actually happened once). That and I'm getting way too old.

I just attended this years Ozzfest At the Verizon wireless music center July 31. It used to be known as DeerCreek, it's near Indianapolis Indianna. And I had a great time. Ozzy and Sabbath didn't play, But It didn't realy diminish anything for me. I was there for several of my favorite metal acts. And Maiden just kicked ass. The crowd was lost though when they ended their set with a Monty Python bit from the life of Brian. lol.

I wish Ozzy didn't play our show. But he did <_< and he sucked horribly.He screwed up every song. And the band did too. Wish Maiden played a double set at our show ><

Ton Steine Scherben. It was just amazing! There were many young people as many others of the generations of the 1968s. First I stood at a lame place where no one was dancing ..maybe swaying a bit left and right. But then I went to the first rows and I was all dancing and chanting the rest of the concert. It was obvious that the concert was 'just for fun' and not really political, though one could notice political discussions in every corner of the hall before the concert actually startet. Well, they didn't play as much as I hoped of the agressive songs and sometimes really, really slow ones. Granted pogo was retireeish, but it was great anyway.

Last I saw was the Ska is Dead Tour with The Flatliners, The Know How, The Toasters, Mustard Plug and The Planet Smashers.

The Flatliners aren't really a Ska band, so no one was really breaking it down, but after The Know How's final song "Daniel Larusso is Going to Fight!" everyone went nuts. Then The Toasters just completely rocked the place. They were on <b>fire</b> . Mustard Plug pretty much killed all the energy, but the The Planet Smashers brought the roof down. God that was such a good show. I actually skanked for the first time at a ska show.

My family gave me the old family car a few weeks back, so I'm going to fix that sucker up and drive to the closest tour locations I can find for the Queen + Paul Rodgers concert this Spring, and Cyndi Lauper later when she goes out on tour this Summer.

Although I might not have to go so far soon since Tulsa is knocking out a big derilect chunk of downtown to build a monster Arena to attract major concerts and other events. If Little Fu*king Rock Arkansas can get Brittney Spears a few years back by having an arena, then we should be able to get Cyndi Lauper. Besides, our arena is going to be 2.5 times bigger. If we don't though, I'll drive.

Dropkick Murphys/Less Than Jake. About a month ago a friend calls my attention to the Dropkick Murphys and Less Then Jake who are touring through Germany and asks me if I would like to join him, when he will be going to the concert in Cologne. I've never seen one of those bands live and now they both were turing together, how could I decline that? Right on the next day I went to my boss and asked him if he could schedule two free days for me the next month.
Last wednesday the alarm bell rang at 6am -way too early for I had a day off, but for a good purpose! Three hours of getting up and one of getting ready later I was on my way to Bonn. It was about half past twelve when I stood at the platform for my train, drank my beer and became aware of ..holidays! Yay! At least for two days and that was good. When I reached Bonn three hours later we went to my friends place, ate some noodles and watched Franz Bauer drinking Muellermilch. The concert would start at 8pm so by 7pm we left and got to Cologne by train (I bought an insolent expensive ticket and of course I didn't meet any train conductor!). Ok, at half past seven we noticed that entrance was actually at six 'o clock. And when we reached the tramway to the place of the concert we noticed that it was already eight and the tram had a technical defect. F..ine. We waited until it was fixed, laughed about the once who decided to walk when the tram got ahead them and where at half past eight at the concert. Luckily neither Dropkick Murpys nor Less Than Jake began to play yet (we just missed that special guest playing). Anyhoo, one beer later Less Than Jake began to play and it they really kicked ass. Sadly the German fans didn't understand much English and so the circle pit and stuff were kinda lame. Oh and it was really, really full. In the pogo I wasn't able to dance much, but I was rather pushed around (and pushed a lot around myself). When they finished I was at the end of my power and my back and foot hurt pretty badly (all because that pussys that push you into the pogo when you are at the border of the action, but never go in there theirselves, where everybody has to step at your left food and only your left food). Dropkick Murphys then played after a break and it was just violent. Violent, but not bad at all. Sadly I had to leave after two thirds because we had to get our last train back. Anyways. It got my money really worth. The only things that annoyed me where the border-jostlers and the slicky-punks (those guys who take off their shirts and are all sweaty and slippery when you ), who increased by about 300% when Dropkick Murphys were playing.
Alltogether I was worth it's price of 25 euro, but I must admit that I prefer pogo in groups of 20 people to groups of 200.

Children Of Bodom And Slayer...

Children of Bodom played 2nd, it was awesome. I was up front the whole time and I got so sweaty O_O After they played I went and sat down through one band and then ate during another. Then Slayer came on! I got to furfill a little life long wish of mine, which was to be up front at a Slayer show during Reign In Blood. About 2 songs in I ran up front and was up there until they played it, so almost the whole set. After the song finished I backed off cause I got kicked and hit alot up there. Didn't bug me too bad, getting squished made it hard to breath, but I got hit in the head by crowd surfers really hard and was getting dizzy so I figured it time I walked back before I got a concussion.

When the show was over I went home, took a shower, and brushed my teeth. I also tossed my shirts, pants, and socks into the washer, they were drenched in sweat. Being up front is fun if you don't mind taking a beating and can stand your own ground. But no matter what you come out looking and sometimes smelling like an armpit.

I saw the Roots last night and it was insane. They played right through without taking many breaks, so they covered most of their great songs. They also had some really good solos, and at the end they played a half hour straight, covering other people's songs without taking a break. Crazy by gnarls barkley, award tour by a tribe called quest, shimmy shimmy ya and some other wu tang, a couple of ****** songs that are out now like lil jon, ti and that stupid "its going down" song...but the best part is that even when they played other people's ****** songs, they killed em' by making it sound even better, and playing live instruments. Definatly see them if they're ever around

The last concert I went to was "Earthday Birthday 2002" on April 28 at the Lee Vista Center in Florida. It was kind of like ozzfest, there were two stages set up. There were a lot of great Hard Rock/Metal bands that played. The headliners of the concert were: Rob Zombie, Sevendust, Puddle Of Mudd, Gravity Kills, Static-X, Adema, Headstrong, Sinistar, and among many other bands. Another band I remember playing on the second stage was Soil. They're a pretty good hard rock band and at the time had the hit single "Halo." I went with a few friends I worked with at the time when I lived in Florida. It was a awesome, kick a$$ show!

Last year I saw Every Time I Die.

Was right in front, got to hang out with the band, shake their hands etc.

Went to see AE with Megadeth a few weeks ago. We missed AE cause they started the show 2 hours earlier then they said they were going to. Pissed me off cause I had to sit through 3 bands that sucked then I watched Megadeth who I'm not much of a fan of but they put on a good show so it was worth it.

I swear if I have to watch Lamb Of God one more time I will murder every band member myself,. I've had to sit through them 5 or 6 times now. I have no idea why their at every show but it needs to stop.

do you go to UCONN? i was at that show.

but the most recent show i went to was Trivium at the Palladium in Worcester. It was probably one of the best shows i'd been to in a while. Hopefully i will be going to see Atreyu next week. My parents still haven't given me a straight answer on if i can go (its a "school night").

Saw Children of Bodom/Amon Amarth last night. I got there kinda late and Amon Amarth was already playing (I was pissed!) but they had just started so it was ok. F***ing phenomenal. COB played a lot of really old songs like Bodom Beach Terror and Mask of Sanity, it was awesome except when my friends kept starting a pit right in the middle of where I was standing. Still a really great show.

Am I the only one who goes to shows these days?

I went to the Rise Against/My Chemical Romance show tonight. It was on campus, so I got a $10 discount on my ticket. Rise Against was amazing. I punched a kid in the face in a pit that my roommate's girlfriend and me made. My Chemical Romance.....ugh. I have never seen so many 13 year old emo girls in my whole life. I don't even know why I stayed to watch it. The screams destroyed my ears. :(

I live in a small town in South Da-fricken-kota so none of my fav bands come near. Last concert I was at was Seether a couple years ago. I went with my brother who is a huge fan. I didn't even like them but they put on a good show so now I'm a fan.

I was supposed to go to the Chilli Peppers a couple weeks ago in KC but it was postponed due to bad weather and then when they finally had it, I couldn't make it! SOB!

Just saw probably one of the best damn shows I have ever seen!

Friday I was at the jagiemeister tour featuring stone sour, lacuna coil and the medicore shadows fall.

Pretty freaking cool show, it was at a small venue up here so it was pretty crazy. Shadows fall was alright but nothing specail, but wow did lacuna coil put on a good show. Damn there really amazing.

But the best part was when stone sour came on, I was right by the stage right in front of Corey! Damn that was just to awesome.

I've become a big show guy recently. I have never been to a show in my life before September of 2006. Now I'm basically going to a show every week. I've become what you would call a "hardcore kid." I've decided to try new things, and this is working out really well. Good music, nice and tight following in Philly, and I've met a lot of new people.

Last Friday was the Have Heart/Living Hell show. I didn't know a lot of the bands who played, but I basically went for the two I mentioned. A lot of good bands played. The mosh pit got pretty rough. It was a great time. It's good to get out of the house sometimes, feel the city, take the subway downtown. It's great. I'm loving it.

The last concert I went to was totally awesome. Slipknot was the main attraction but the opening bands were great as well. There was Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, and some other band that we missed because everyone had to be searched before they could get into the building. It was probably one of the best concerts that I've gone to. However, the number 1 concert that I've gone to so far was my first one. I was in fifth grade and my mom took me to a KISS concert in Terre Haute. Now that was amazing.

Now then, I just came home from Annihilator and Trivium. It was fantastic. Trivium wasn't all that good, but maybe that's because Annihilator was so bloody awesome. So, right now, I can't really hear all that much anymore, since it was so loud that if "loud" had a mother, that would be it.

And am I the only one who thinks that fifty bucks for a ticket is on the verge of being "too much" and another 45 bucks for a t-shirt is just a ripoff? I mean, I can stand the fifty quid for the ticket, no big deal. But I like to buy t-shirts at concerts, as a sort of memory. But I'm not willing to pay over 30 bucks.

Did Annihilator play Maximum Satan? And yes, $50 to see 2 bands (or were there more?) is a ripoff, I guess unless it was sitting room and not standing.

I've seen them several times over the years at different venues and with different lineups as well as a few Brian Wilson solo concerts (including the Smile tour in 2004). I wish I had been around to have seen them (and other classic rock groups I enjoy) in the 60's and 70's, but they still put on a great show and you'll definitely have fun.

1). Locksley: Discovered them on a PBA Bowling telecast, entertaining the crowd at intermission breaks. Awesome band.

2). Hanson: You read right; Issac, Taylor & Zach were awesome for their past & present fans. Yes, they did MMMBop. However, after the concert, Issac had a pain in his stomach & had to go to the hospital the next day.

Prior to my birthday, on July 28 @ the Smirnoff (now superpages.com theatre), I saw Drake Bell! Yes, the Drake & Josh star can actually sing, play the guitar & write his own music. His musical inspiration comes from The Beatles.

My last was a band called Dirty Pretty Things. The frontman, Carl Barat, was co-frontman of one of my all time favourite bands, The Libertines (alongside Pete Doherty, of babyshambles.) I went to see them on thursday night, and it was excellent. And there was a support band called Dusty Rhodes and the River band, who come from California, and were also excellent. Any of you heard of em?

I went with my ex, and this being the first time we've went out together since we split, I was afraid it may've been a bit awkward. But it wasn't, we had a really good time and shows we can still be friends! Hurrah!

Went to Gigantour. Not usually a fan of huge shows like this cause normally only 1 band I like is playing but this year was amazing.

I missed "High On Fire" so I can't comment on them. Watched about half of "Job For A Cowboy". I have nothing positive to say about them honestly they are good at what they do but since every song sounds exactly the same, they do what their good at a little to much. Blast beats and breakdowns only go so far.

Then Children Of Bodom came out. I wasn't expected the audience reaction to be what it was. They had the entire place going nuts. They had a better response then even Megadeth which shocked me. I was up front the entire time and I have the bruises to prove it. The only time I've seen more crowd surfing was last time I saw Slayer play.

In Flames was up next. In all honesty I haven't liked any releases they've done since "Clayman" but they still put on a great show. They even surprised me and played "Graveland" off "Jester's Race" which was their 2nd CD; they almost never play anything off that CD anymore. They also did "Clayman" which was cool. The new songs are fine live so it was great.

Megadeth put on a great show as usual as well. The energy was there and it was a blast watching them. The audience wasn't as crazy as Bodom's but I needed to relax and just watch them play.

All in all one of the best shows I've been to in a long time. I'm really glad I went. Theres only 3 more shows left on the tour but I recommend anyone whose into metal check it out if they can afford it.

The last concert I went to was my own this past weekend at Anime Central here in Chicago. It was a pretty amazing experience. I think the entire band was skeptical about doing it because we were put up against one of the convention's biggest events and we were actually in an adjascent hotel as opposed to the main one, but we publicized it like crazy and hoped for the best. When we got there I think we were all happy with the room we got. It was pretty big, probably larger than most small concert venues, and when the show started there were at least a couple hundred people packed into the room. I remember being shocked at the 40+ who RVSP'd "attending" on the Facebook invite, but the turnout blew all of our minds and we put on easily the best concert we've ever done.

Iron Maiden last night. Awesome show, almost 2hours long. Only one opening act, Steve Harris's daughter's band. His daughter is cute but her band is pretty bad. Funny enough every song was about having sex with her. I was rather shocked.

I saw Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell last night. Very cool and relaxed show, even though she kept bitching about the sound and he never ever interacts with anyone (he did say "Thank You" three times though). Whatever. You can't be mad at a guy with a voice like that.

Got the pleasure of seeing Dark Tranquillity and Arch Enemy. Arch Enemy stole the show. Their set was amazing. They had 3 parts where the Amott Brothers solo'd and the Drummer got to shine as well. They played every song I'd want to hear and just tore up the place. Chris being back in the band made a huge impact I loved it. I stayed by his side of the stage the whole time. I've seen AE tons of times but very few with Chris because he left the band for so long. I've never been up front for a Chris performance so it was quite a treat.

I had to get some sleep, but I'm back on, to say, that concert F-ing rocked! It was a small festival going on at first. Bizzarre thing, one of the outside stages was playing Bing Crosby's White Christmas. I kid you not! After all of that crap, a group came on. I have heard of their music before, but always mistaken them for Staind. But it's really a band called Ten Years, and they were great live.

The Atreyu came on stage, and a big ole fight broke out in the front. 2 kids with broken noses and a girl with a busted skull had to be carted away. And when I say busted skull, I mean busted skull. She had blood all over her and the paramedics. She looked to be about 13 or 14.

Also, Projekt Revolution was playing in West Palm Beach, Florida. I've been a Floridian all of my life, so I'm used to the sweltering heat here, and know enough to keep cool and hydrated. Other people, unfortunately, did not. Mnay of these kids were walking around head to toe dresses up in gothic attire. Black leather jackets and pants and had white makeup on their faces, walking around trying to look like Joker or something. Well, I'm pretty sure you can figure out what happened to these dumb-asses in this hot 95 degree Florida heat. They ended up fainting and dropping like flies. Hell, as my party just arrived at the front gates, there was a paramedic truck on stand by giving a very ill looking girl fluids and oxygen.

So yes, it was hot. My party managed by drinking water, wearing hats and sun glasses and sun screen and staying in the shade. Then we all waited in the main arena for the real concert to begin.

I can't remember too much of the first couple of acts. I think a group called Bravery came on. There was a samll group that specialized in Tribal type drum beating. Then Chris Cornell, the second biggest act of the evening, came on. There was one song though, when we were all treated to a duet when Chester Bennington came on stage to sing along. Of course the crowd went wild.

Then Linkin Park came on. They were fantastic, and Chester really is a singing god. To scream and wail all night long like he did, then toward the end of the concert, he sung Shadow of the Day in a cappella style. And he hit all the right notes at the right time. As for myself, halfway through the concert, I pretty much screamed myself hoarse.

And in one song, Breaking the Habit, Chris Cornell came on the stage to sing along.

Over all, it was a great night, great concert, and a great crowd. I have an upload to share, it was footage I shot. Yeah, the camera is shaky and the sound is crackled because of all the other screaming fans, but I like to share. Didn't come out too badly.

I can't tell one song from the other with those guys. It's always the same formula:

1) Rap something.
2) Sing something.
3) Scream about how bad everyone is treating them.

I noticed that, lately, they've run out of things to bitch about. Originally, their songs dealt with substantial issues like tough relationships or disrespect from peers. But in their latest album, you can see their really scraping the bottom of the barrel.



HOW THE COOKIE CRUMBLES
by Linkin Park

Look at the time as it flies by
Got no snacks and I want to cry
Help me out please, I'm beggin ya see?
I'll even get down on my hands and knees
Yeah, UHH
You don't understand how hungry I get
I need some snacks in their absence I fret
Feed me now, I'm implorin' ya dearly
If you give me cookies I'll thank you sincerely.


NOBODY GAVE ME COOKIES WHEN I WAS FIVE
IT'S A WONDER I'M STILL ALIVE!
SO GET AWAY FROM ME YOU COOKIE BANDIT
YOU ATE UP ALL MY COOKIES AND NOW I'VE ****ING HAD IT

I got lots a milk with nothing to dunk
I could really go for Chips-a-hoy chocolate chunk
Night falls down and it's time for bed
I'll fall asleep with cookie dreams in my head.
You gotta have mercy, I'm beggin' ya please!
I'll even get down on my hands and knees

I NEED SOME COOKIES NOW!
WITH MILK FROM A COW!
MY LIFE IS SO PATHETIC!
YOU'D THINK I WAS DIABETIC!

His trio band rocked & his music was awesome! Tony played the same guitar I have (except his is an Epiphone & mine's a Yamaha).

After the set, I got a chance to meet with Tony. He was kind enough to autograph my sheet music of More Than Words (Extreme's hit that he did better on MMC) & even took a few pics wth me!

When we parted, I told him "See you real soon. Why, because I like you!" Didn't dare to sing M-O-U-S-E! (LOL)

Missed see Cursive again there by like thirty minutes...would've been free too.
