ILPWF Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hey NF community; as a music lover I thought this would be a good idea to see the diversity of music fans on the forums (and if anyone had similar intrests) So, what bands have you seen/going to see/ or plan on seeing? As for me, I haven't seen many: The Quireboys (A rock band for the record )WolfsbaneThe MurderdollsThe DefiledBlack Veil BridesWith One Last BreathBuried In VeronaMotionless In White (On their first UK tour!! )Betraying The MartyrsWhile She SleepsMotionless In White (again)Asking Alexandria And I hope to get to far more concerts once I get a job.

humanperson832 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Lord have mercy! I've been going to concerts regularly since I was 16- it's where most of my fun money goes. (The following are all Atlanta venues) (also bolding the artist names for quick scanning) My very first big girl show was Ted Leo and the Phamacists at the Variety Playhouse. That was fun.My very favorite one was the first time I saw Atmosphere (I've seen them... 3 or 4 times by now). They played at... Center Stage and it was the first time I'd felt the energy in the room from a rap show, which is waaaaaay more... alive than other shows I'd been to. At rock shows especially, people just stand with their hands in their pockets, too afraid to show even a modicum of enjoyment, lest their hipster credibility suffer. When did dancing at a musical performance become so frowned upon? It's kind of the bane of my concert-going existence.I've seen 311 a ton of times, both professionally and just wanting to go with friends.Loved seeing Big Boi and Killer Mike together at the Georgia Theatre (okay, this one is Athens) a couple of months ago. Funnest show I've been to in a while.Ben Folds and Childish Gambino were the shows I caught the least of. The first due to friends coming over to my house under the premise of carpooling, eating my food, then declaring that they didn't have room for me and leaving without me. (Harsh barley, bro.) The second because of a stupid fight I had with my ex. I caught about two songs each, but it was still fun.The Avett Brothers were... fun, but I'm only familiar with 4-5 of their albums and EPs, and they have a tooooon of material I'm not familiar with. Most of which they played when I saw them. I'm not crazy about concerts where I know the band, but I don't know the songs they play.Warped Tour 2005 was... eh. Almost got crushed in the crowd for My Chemical Romance, had to crowd-surf out and had a panic attack next to the stage, had my cell phone and wallet stolen. Wouldn't go again, mostly because that's not really what I listen to anymore.The Swell Season, seen them twice and loved it so much both times. I want Glen Hansard to be my neighbor so we can have tea together in the day and whiskey at night. ETA: My middle school BFF and I went to go see the Backstreet Boys (!!!) in the early 2000s for the Black & Blue tour. We had the bright idea of painting our faces half black and half blue. We got quite a few strange looks, because I guess it's not all that common to paint your face for a boy band concert. We had a great time and I regret nothing. Quote Link to comment

Steel Panther! I saw them when I went to LA in 2008. Went to the Key Club, being told I was going to see Metal Skool. I'm pretty sure the show I went to was the show where they announced the name change. Saw Pink, Michael Rappaport, and Hal Sparks sing some metal covers. Also stared at the good-looking Australian actor from House—and his nice-ass face—across the way in VIP all night. Pretty great night. Quote Link to comment

I'm pretty sure the show I went to was the show where they announced the name change. Bahahahaha indeed! I've seen them twice (2011 and 2012) and the second time they'd ramped it up and were even more outrageous than the first time. They are SUCH amazing musicians too, though. Satchel's solos and jamming in particular were incredible. Wasn't sure what they'd be like when we met them - they were just the same but more low key and v polite and appreciative of people hanging around to wait for them.

Michael777 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I see live music two to three times a week, so too many to list! If you name a big, or just shy of big band I most likely have seen them.I list my top 5 best live shows to at least add to the line up here. 1) Rollins Band - simple the best live show I have ever seen, his energy on stage is amazing! 2) The Killers - a great live show, I got to see them before the got really big at a small venue, and after when they blew up at a big one, both great shows.3) NOFX -seen them 6 or 7 times, always great and funny. Was at one of their shows in a high school gym and the stage collapsed. They finished playing with people holding up the amplifiers.4) The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - seen them 19 times. They never once have phoned it in, great energy and maybe one one of the best audience vibes.5) Metallica - I have no idea if they still just love what they do, or have been doing it long enough that they can fool into thinking that they do. Wither way I don't care because there real or fake love of performing is a site to see. Quote Link to comment
