Concerts!
 

I just got back from an awesome 30+ bands concert... Some flashings went on (got one on camera :) ) So this brings me to my point. What concerts have you been to, and what was/is your favorite one you've been to?

I just returned from a Method Man/ Busta Rhymes concert myself and it was awesome. I went in with low or no expectations because I wasn't really into there type of music but I left a changed person. The best part is that it was put on by my University so it was free (except for the 25k tuition here). Anyway it was a great concert with awesome energy and very entertaining.

I've been to lots over my years, I'm bound to forget something but I'll give it a shot.

Foo Fighters- twice
Red Hot Chili Peppers- twice
Metallica
7 Seconds
Screw 32
NoFX- twice
Pennywise- three times
Millencolin
Rancid- twice
Blink 182- twice, back when they were good
Soul Coughing- twice
Suicide Machines
Pantera
White Zombie
Guttermouth
Boy Sets Fire
X-Fest- sucked, never went again, weekend long, about 40 bands
Warped Tour- three times, 30+ bands
Dropkick Murphys
No Use For a Name

My favorite would probably be Pennywise, their music rocks and seeing them live is about as good as it can get. I have serious fun everytime I've seen them.

I go to concerts once a month, usually to a club called "Progresja". The bands that play there are of course not famous, but I really enjoy their music. But I promised myself to go see 'Hatebreed' if I pass my exams well this school year :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I haven't been too many....since they are such a rip-off over here.
The best one I've seen is the John Butler Trio....which is an Aussie band (though John Butler himself is Californian) and that was very entertaining.

I've seen acts such as Barnsey (Jimmy Barnes), the Midnight Oils , George, Powderfinger, Alex Lloyd, Silverchair, Regurgigator, Sonic Animation far too many times for my own good

A few 'big name' DJs I've bopped/listened/perform at parties/raves
Q-Bert, Oakenfold, Masters at Work, Digweed, Sascha, LTJ Bukem, Judge Jules, Timo Mass, Pete Tong

Artists/acts I would have loved to have watched, some I will never get the chance to due to death tapping on their shoulder :(
REM, Sting (either his old stuff with the Police, or better his solo stuff, that jazz band he plays with is sublime), Nirvana, Prince, Tom Waits, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Costello, Herbie Hancock, Queen, James Brown, Sinatra, Miles Davis, Jeff Buckley, Elvis, U2, Pink Floyd, Grandmaster Flash, Beatles, Michael Jackson, Red Hot Chilli Peppers (although , I've heard that Anthony Kiedis' voice is not all that good live),

when I was at school and uni, I used to spend all my money and time on watching musicians perform live (both mainstream, pub & independant acts). I also try to watch acts when overseas since, Australia doesn't get all that many coming down to our shores.

I like your style. The concert I went to was edgefest which I believe is alot like x-fest... There were The presidents of the united states, Goldfinger, Authority Zero, Something Corporate, Story of the year, Flogging Molly,the list goes on. It sucked though cause during the Presidents there was a bit of delay from mother nature, but there were some tits getting flashed, thats always a good thing. But Story of the year, something corporate, and a couple other bands got rained out towards the end.

I didnt go to too many. A few Ukrainian concerts so I wont bother naming those since know one knows who they are anyways.

but international bands go as follows:

Thin Lizzy
Joe Satriani
Deep Purple

1999:

Korn/Rob Zombie/Videodrone

Family Values Tour 1999- Limp BIzkit, Primus, Filter, Staind, Method Man/Redman

2001:

Pledge of Alliegence tour- Slipknot (sucked), System of a Down, Rammstein, Mudvayne, No One

2003:

Godsmack, Adema (ok, really just went for Godsmack)

Lacuna Coil and a couple of smaller bands

Coldsnap 9 (small band in Phoenix, AZ)

Turbo Negro

2004:

HIM :twisted: :shock: , Eighteen Visions, Kill Hannah (is there a barfing emoticon?)

i'm also batting around the idea of going to the Voodoo Music Fest. just to see Green Day but im really not sure if i want to give TicketMaster another insane handling charge. (it was 21 bucks to see HIM after the $6.00 charge) however if the Metallica/Godsmack tour comes through..i might just go :twisted: (yes i will pay $70 for 2 bands)

It's exactly the same. When the radio station the hosts it changed their name, they changed the concerts name. It is the same concert.

Were they good live? I've wanted to see them for some time now, but to my knowledge they have never been here.

Yeah, the show was pretty good. My best friend had been listening to them for a few weeks when they came through phoenix. I wasn't really into them at first but once i saw them live i thought they were a pretty decent band. The club we saw them at wasn't the best. They couldn't get the settings right on the mixing board for the Lacuna Coil show so the highs were too shrieky

Are you originally from Phoenix, Az? That's where I'm at right now...
