I DID get to see and meet their drummer Gavin Harrison at a drum clinic that he did though! That was cool. I was too star struck to say anything other than clumsily ask for a picture with him though haha. To be totally fair, I did not compile the list. Ubergeek husband did. This is what we do. We go to concerts. Because we're older and we can now afford to go see ALL. THE. BANDS. Our tastes are a bit eclectic. He also neglected to mention that the introduction to live music for the kids included: Star Wars at the Hollywood Bowl; The Legend of Zelda Symphony 2; Final Fantasy Symphony.

mitch_dee Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 In no particular order:Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - 1st concert I went to: 2 hours long, 1 hour encore, 1 hour impromptu set 30 mins after that for about the last 100 of us that were finally leavingParamore (before they went pop)Blink 182Halfway JaneSum 41Lit - after the Warp tour in a bowling ally - sat on the stage after bowling next to them and sharing pitchers of beerNo DoubtMartina McBrideBrooks & DunnDropkick MurphysMighty Bosstones - best time ever...concert venue had a bar that you could wait in, friends and I were sitting at the bar drinking when Dicky Barrett and Tim Burton sat down next to me. Bought them both a drink even after they said they drink for free just so I could say I bought them one once.....during the show they made sure security pulled us up front and thanked us for being true fans.....yeah...I still fangurl about that one!Too many other bands from festivals that I can;t think of right now Oh and Kenny Rodgers spanked me when I was 5...not a concert but It makes for an interesting story....

MetalNinja Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yay for concerts! I also see a bunch of people who also like metal! The two bands I've seen the most are Children of Bodom and In Flames, I actually don't know how many times I've seen each of them. Other than that:Metallica (Summer Sanitarium 2003 with Mudvayne, Deftones, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit)Rammstein (in Berlin! Also in Denver.)Judas PriestOzzy OsbourneDevilDriverAll That Remains (like three, four times?)Black Label SocietyTrivium (they keep playing with other bands I want to see so I've seen them like three times)Rob ZombieMotionless in WhiteEpicaAlestorm (not to be confused with Halestorm, which I've seen some other people list)EluveitieKillswitch EngageAmon AmarthMastodonTyrThin LizzyJob for a CowboyBetween the Buried and MeBlack Dahlia MurderKreator, with Overkill (won free tickets!)More that I don't remember because they were openers or something. Like I went to the Rockstar Mayhem Festival last year and I don't remember who all was there. Some non-metal shows:CherubEl Ten ElevenCon Bro Chill (I have hugged two members of this group)Paul Oakenfold And then a bunch of crap when I was in the concert commission in college:Taking Back SundayLudacrisMos DefJimmy Eat WorldGusterKanye WestSnoop DoggReel Big Fishthat guy from Dashboard Confessional who did some acoustic set after Reel Big FishThey Might Be Giants Sooooo yeah I like concerts, hooray!

JCDenton Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Too many to list, but some memorable shows include: Megadeth 2001: Saw them in DC about a month after 9/11 attacks. Wierd vibe for the show, they came out and crushed for 90 minutes. Greatful Dead 1995: Went to this show about a month or so before Jerry Garcia passed away. Another weird vibe, but for totally different reasons... Clash of the Titans 1990: Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer. What the hell more do you want, sparky? Children of Bodom 2008: Whatever issues they've allegedly had playing live, they left them at the door for this show. Really looking forward to catching Arch Enemy's new lineup on this tour. A lot of people hating on Alissa, but I think she brings a new element to the vocal department. Quote Link to comment
Dleffe Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 So many bands... but I can still name the most memorable shows I have seen. -Blind guardian. Twist in the myth tour in 2009 in Belgium, when they sang the bard's song the crowd sang aloud so loudly you could barely hear the music anymore and after about 5 seconds the band gave up on singing and just held out the mike to the crowd. Now since I'm a metal fan the second most memorable show might seem like an odd choice... -Lindsey Stirling. Saw her show last year, the amount of energy and joy she radiated while performing was mindblowing. I could feel myself getting happier just watching her perform. Hopefully her next show this year will be just as epic to watch. -Alestorm. Seen em multiple times at GMM, always a good time. But this year they opened the festival on friday, they asked for a wall of death and within seconds the crowd parted up to the soundtower. Never seen a wall open up that fast or that large. I could keep going for a while more but I'll stick to my top 3. Quote Link to comment
Villikissa Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Coming up with a complete lifetime list would be next to impossible, but we'll see what I can do. I'll start with two shorter lists: Concerts I have been to comparatively recently (i.e. in the past year):Leaves' EyesGogol BordelloI think that might actually be it for the past year... I clearly need to get out more! But this fall is looking good... Concerts I expect to be going to within the next few months:Eluveitie (yay! They're amazing live)Within Temptation (for the third time)Delain + XandriaNow, let's see how many other artists I can recall that I've seen at some point in my life... (I think I'm going to go for alphabetical order, because chronological would be too hard):Emilie Autumn (3 times)The Boomtown Rats (waaaayyy back when...)David Bowie (twice, I think)The Chainsaw KittensJayne CountyThe CrampsDead Can DanceDelhi 2 DublinEinsturzende NeubautenEluveitieFaith & the MuseFront 242 and/or Front Line Assembly (I'm always mixing those two up...)Diamanda GalasNina Hagen (twice)Iggy Pop (twice)PJ HarveyKMFDMLaibachLene LovichMDCMinistryMy Life With the Thrill Kill KultL7Living ColorLegendary Pink DotsThe LevellersMIDIval PunditZNew Model ArmyNine Inch Nails (3 times)Nitzer EbbPigfacePoisongirlsProfessor ElementalSinead O'ConnorThe Ramones (at least twice)The ResidentsTom RobinsonSigur RosSiouxsie & the Banshees (3 times, I think?)Skinny PuppySoundgardenThe Swans (twice)The Talking HeadsTest DepartmentThey Might Be GiantsVoivodWintersunThe Young GodsSome of those I'm a little unsure of, because in some cases we're going back a really long time - at risk of dating myself, to around 1980 or so. And there are undoubtedly others that I'm just not thinking of at the moment. But that's probably at least a fair proportion of them...
