What concerts have you guys been to? I just got to see RUSH in Columbus, Ohio! And I had good seats!

I don't go to many concerts.

I saw Jewel live when she was touring "This Way."
I went to a Charlie Daniels Band concert with my dad/brothers but it got canceled because of a storm.
Just last month I saw a free concert on the beach with my friends.
And there have been others I'm sure.
But I really don't go to many. Compared, anyway, with some people I know who enjoy going to them like, all the time.

I've been waiting for this topic for a while now. I've been to quite a few shows during my 21 trips around the sun. I'll list 'em, and maybe something I remember about the show.


Band- Stone Temple Pilots, Red Hot Chili Peppers
-this was my first show, when I was 14. My mom and her friend took me and my sister and my mom's friend's kid to the show. It was pretty cool. It also gave me one of my all-time favorite quotes, from a guy who was staggering into the bathroom. He said, "I'm not drunk, I'm still drinking". Oh yes, it was funny.

Band- Slipknot, System of A Down, Rammstein, No One, American Head Charge
-this show was back in 2001. It was actually delayed a week because of September 11th. Rammstein was awesome, I've never seen so much fire in one act before. The singer lit himself on fire and sang a song, while guitars were shooting flames. It rocked out! My mom and sister and a whole bunch of friends of our family went with us. Good times, good times. No, I didn't mosh yet, I'll tell you the first show I was in the pit for.

Band- Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Mudvayne, and openers I can't recall
-this was an awesome Christmas show. Ozzy came down from the ceiling in a sleigh filled with dead reindeer and Santa was crucified behind the stage. Awesomely sarcastic, I loved it! Also, Ozzy mooned our half of the audience, so I can say I've seen Ozzy Osbourne's butt, live and in person.

Band- Alice Cooper and openers I can't recall
-the first of the 3 times I've seen Alice. God, he rocks so much! I wanna see him again!

Band- Alice Cooper again
-this was cool, I was in the 5th row! Alice was about 10-15 feet away from me. That was a totally awesome show! My friend caught a guitar pick at the end too.

Band- Metallica, Godsmack
-what can I say? How could this show not be good? Metallica played all their old hits, James Hetfield rocked my socks, my mom, sister and I all had a wonderful time!

Band- Megadeth, Exodus
-a show that me and my uncle went to. This was the first show I moshed at. I forgot my ear plugs, and the show was so loud, it permanently damaged my hearing. Other than that, Megadeth was sweet! Truly a memorable and awesome show!

Bands- Hatebreed, Agnostic Front, Diecast, and openers I can't remember
-perhaps the best moshing show I've seen, ever. My uncles, sister, cousins, everyone was there. We had a blast and banged our heads all night long!

Bands- Motley Crue
-My sister and I went to this one. We had a great time. The Crue looked great, sounded great and looked like they were truly having fun. Also, Tommy Lee had a, well, certain "cam" that showed various audience member's showing, oh, certain body parts. And you gotta love that.

Bands- Billy Idol
-Dang, Billy is buff! He was awesome and I got his autograph on one of the paper plates he was throwing to the crowd.

Bands- Machine Head, Devil Driver, and openers I can't remember
-Probably the worst show I've seen. Devil Driver rocked, but Machine Head pulled out an acoustic guitar in the middle of their set and totally lost the audience. By that time, we'd all moshed our way through 3 or 4 bands and were tired. They just couldn't get the energy back up after that. A real disappointment. However, there was another good quote, this time from Devil Driver's singer. He stated, "This is our last song, so here's your chance to scream your *freaking* lungs out, sweat your *butt* off, and mosh as much as you *freaking* can."

Bands- Children of Bodom, Trivium, and openers I can't remember
-Children of Bodom ruled all. This was the first show I went to with my friends from college. We rocked out!

Bands- Rob Zombie, Lacuna Coil
-Lacuna Coil was pretty lame, but whatever. This was my first show at the legendary Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. Also known as the Scare-agon or the Aragon Brawlroom. The shows there are always intense and rough. Plus the ballroom floor is wooden and the ceiling is painted. It's a totally awesome venue, go there if you're in Chicago.

Bands- Slayer, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Children of Bodom, Thine Eyes Bleed
-what a show. My mom was in there moshing during Children of Bodom. How cool is that? Slayer was beyond insane, and all the rest were rocking out. Plus, it was another show at the Aragon. I literally could wring the sweat out of my shirt afterwards, the sign of an awesome show.

Bands- Alice Cooper
-again! Again, it was awesome. Alice never disappoints and always puts on a wicked show. I'm sorry, no one is the showman that he is.

Bands- Iron Maiden
-slightly disappointed. They didn't play much old stuff, but they did play their new album all the way through. Which was ok, but not what I paid 50 bucks to see. I wanted all the old stuff. However, I did get to up the Irons and mosh in the biggest venue I've ever moshed in, the Allstate Arena. Good times, good times. Plus, it was my friend's first rock concert, and that's always a good time.

Well, there you have it folks. I've been to a bunch of shows, they were all a wicked good time! I'm looking to go see a band called Overkill here coming up. That should be fun times.

I've been to two... I've been to a Blue Man Group concert, while they were on their "The Complex" tour, and then I've been to Pointfest, which is a concert held once or twice a year by a local radio station, 105.7 the POINT FM where they have all these bands playing at various stages.

At Pointfest I saw:
Flyleaf
Modern Day Zero
Bullet for My Valentine
Poppa Roach
LYE
The Red Romance
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Wolfmother
The Killers

There were others that played before them, but I wasn't there for that.

I have been in a deep purple concert whitch was okay and metallica as good as i waited for.

Dream Theater, Redemption, Into Eternity..Baltimore, MD 8/14/2007 - Incredible show. Dream Theater was razor sharp as always and the "NEW" songs were all incredible.. They also played the ENTIRE "In The Presence Of Enemies" and that alone was worth mt 50 dollars

Linkin Park - Projekt Revolution 2004 - Fairfax, VA 8/7/2004. very solid perfomance by both LP and Korn made this an incredible night in spite of LP coming on about 2 hours late. review below!

We got there just as Korn was taking the stage and I had never went to a serious metal gig outside of a local venue and I will say that they were the perfect first impression as I already knew the band's matierial from the various albums I have. two words. HEADBANGERS HEAVEN!

Linkin Park came on a after a slight delay and completely blew everyone away. period. they had never sounded better to me and the singalong unison from the crowd during Breaking The Habit was killer. I also remember Phoenix almost falling off the stage after tripping over his amp cable. XD.

But I also remember very cleary the band was having a few pyrotechnics issues that night and right as all of the lights went down after the BIG explosion at the end of One Step Closer one of the explosives went off right as Mike Shinoda was going off stage and he was like WTF was that?! that bit was hilarious!

Bryan White/LeAnn Rimes concert
Rascal Flatts concert(It rocked!)

I've only been to the RUSH concert. A friend of mine might be going to a Van Halen concert.


I really want to see Journey. NOTE: There are rumors that Steve Perry is rejoining!!!!


But if you get the chance to see RUSH, DO IT!! No one can do a 10-minute drum solo like Neil Peart!

Madonna- Ugh kill me now. I got dragged along to it.

Girls Aloud- This was just the other night too. They were alright I guess. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOKGaZZYOHU

Shayne Ward- He was the support act for Girls Aloud. He was great.

Jamelia- The other support act fir Girls Aloud. I'm not exactly into her but I guess she was alright.

Just two...and a half XD.

Switchfoot - The first concert I ever went to. All I can say is the performance was stunning. They were right on pitch ((most of the time XD)) and made you just want to jump up and down 'till you fall down and die XD. I also liked it 'cause I got up really close to the lead singer, and I wasn't even near the mosh pit :3

Relient K - Second concert. I loved it, even though they didn't play as many songs as I wanted them to XD. They had two other bands playing with them ((Mae and Sherwood)). I love Sherwood, but I don't exacly like Mae...anywho, their preformances were beautiful and fun to sing along to. I just wish it could have lasted longer...

Jackson Soul Fire - The half of the concert I went to...well, the one fourth, actually XD. They weren't together very long, but I managed to get one of their CDs ((although I never listen to it...)).

i've only been to a Duran Duran concert in Virigina and it was the first concert I've ever been to. the only thing i hate abgout that concert was that they played songs that I've never heard of, I mean I like the classics like Hungry like the Wolf, Rio, tHe reflex, girls on film ,etc.
