The last Concert You went to? - Page 3

*Spitfire* · 04-09-2006, 03:38 PM

Just saw Children Of Bodom last night....so bad ass. Their set list had tons of old songs that they didn't play last time it was great. I can't wait to see them again in July.

Next is Arch Enemy....TONIGHT.

Edit:
Oh boy another kick ass show...man I love concerts.

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.

*Kid Icarus* · 05-06-2006, 12:37 AM

Yeah Yeah Yeah's in Omaha, NE. Great ****ing show. Lord, Karen O can belt that **** out.

The openers were awesome too. Some crazy ass death metal dude with a computer as his backup band, and then this awesome Pixies knock off Blood on the Walls. Great show.

Olmost went to Alkaline Trio last Friday... didn't though.

kata · 06-05-2006, 07:14 AM

This isn't really music, but a little over a year ago I went to see George Carlin in concert. He was beginning his new tour at that point. For those of you who enjoy his comedy, he's a must see!

*Cascadia* · 06-05-2006, 11:17 PM

The last concert that I went to was Dave Matthew's Band Concert in Boulder, Colorado during the summer of 2002. I did not get to see the concert because I was working the concession stand.

lambofun · 06-28-2006, 10:12 AM

Kimball Collins in Minneapolis, MN at 4th Floor at Barfly, it was a show not to be missed.d

Brian · 07-17-2006, 01:32 PM

I went with a friend to see ZZ Top last summer at Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, MN. Its the only concert I've been to that wasn't for my older brother being in the band at school. Great concert, though. Ridiculously smoky, but great show.

*Raven* · 07-19-2006, 01:56 AM

Small little show for a local band.

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.

*jeff the cheff* · 08-04-2006, 01:43 PM

Dave Matthews Band last friday. It was really good and I had a great time. On thursday I'm seeing THE ROOTS!!!

Draconic · 08-04-2006, 01:56 PM

My last concert was... The "Running With Scissors" Tour of Weird Al. Before that... was Aerosmith's "Just Push Play" tour.

*jeff the cheff* · 08-11-2006, 01:41 PM

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

PsychoJoe · 08-16-2006, 02:20 AM

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!

*cowabunga14* · 08-18-2006, 05:33 PM

I went to a Kutless concert a few months ago. It was part of their Hearts of the Innocent tour; I had an awesome time there. It also featured bands like Falling Up and Disciple. I also saw Kutless at a music festival in Monterey earlier this month. Good times...good times.

jasonorme666 · 08-23-2006, 07:30 PM

Only ever been to one concert (so rare a band I look plays local or in the UK).

Last year I saw Every Time I Die.

Was right in front, got to hang out with the band, shake their hands etc.
Its nice being in a small venue.

Took some pics.

To know what they sound like (if you don't already know) check out this video for the logic of crocadiles.

I just got back from seeing Dir en grey live. They were unbelievable. I even got to shake their hands. Best experience of my life.

Lucky bastard. My friend drove down to New York a few months ago to see them. He said they were amazing in concert.

I assume you went to the family values tour? If so, what'd you think of the other acts?

愛 · 09-15-2006, 10:41 PM

I didn't care for the others. I only went there to see Dir en grey. Paid $60 for the pit section, too. I was front row. Totally awesome. Almost caught the thrown drumstick, too. I'm sad that I didn't.

**Barkworm** · 09-16-2006, 01:25 AM

How come a skinny nerd like you didn't get killed in the front row? I know I would have been.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-17-2006, 04:45 AM

Skinny nerd or not, that sounds like one of those pivitol life moments that always stays with you, like when I finally met Miyamoto. I'm glad it was such an amazing experience for you Rhen
