I was legitimately scared I was going to get hurt in the mosh pit a few times but I had a good time. It was awesome. Quote "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.

BopGun Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 How did I not find this thread until now? I now live in a very isolated section of rural America, in the upper Midwest. Major touring acts don't come here because there isn't enough money to be made. Almost all of the following acts/artists I saw before moving here. It will also be evident that I am a creature out of my own time; I would have had a much easier time musically were I born in the 1950s as opposed to the late 1970s. Here the major artists that come to mind: George Clinton/P-Funk (if I haven't seen them 10 times, it's close to it)Bernie Worrell & the Woo Warriors (on a related note)James Brown (I was lucky enough to see the Godfather back home in Massachusetts in 2005, a year and a half before he died)Earth, Wind & FireThe Average White BandThe Neville Brothers (three times, including once at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival)B.B. KingJimmy CliffPeter Frampton (the guy STILL puts on a killer live show, or at least he did in 2002 when I saw him)Spin Doctors (a free show when I was in high school)Finger ElevenCypress HillOutKastErykah BaduDwight Yoakam (I don't like country...as if you couldn't tell from the above artists ...but the ticket was a gift and I was VERY impressed by his, and his band's, musicianship) ...and the only embarrassing one in the bunch, Vanilla Ice. It was 1990 when he was big, I was a kid and the ticket was once again a gift. My great regrets are being unwilling to pay $60 a pop to see David Bowie or Prince while I was in college and they were coming through Boston. Big mistake. Bowie no longer tours, so I kinda screwed the pooch on ever seeing him, but I still have hope of seeing Prince, the Isley Brothers, Herbie Hancock and George Benson someday. Quote Link to comment
Becoming-Bane Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I've seen taking back Sunday, weezer, kaiser chiefs, red jumpsuit apparatus, foo fighters, brand new, and a bunch of local bands. My favorite show was brand new. Quote In brightest day, In blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight, Let those who worship evils might, beware my power, GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT! Link to comment
DrVornoff Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I've seen Rush, Streetlight Manifesto, System of a Down, Dragonforce, Ozzy Osbourne, Lacuna Coil, and Ghost. I was kind of bummed I didn't get to see The Winery Dogs last year when they came to town. Quote Social Justice Bard Epic Quest Link to comment
AlterStephen Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Just saw Neon Trees with Big Data and several local artists the other day. Fantastic show. I also recently saw 311, Rise Against, Panic! at the Disco, the Airborne Toxic Event, and New Politics at a local festival early last month:) Quote "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you.

SomeGuyFromScotland Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I've seen Seether a handful of times, Danzig twice, Rollins Band, 3 Doors Down, Metallica (in 1988, while they were still worth seeing), Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, a ton of other late 80s/early 90s rock and metal, and for my mellow side, Mary Chapin Carpenter five times. Best gig... probably Rollins Band supported by Senser in 1994. Gig I would most like to have been at, but was only 4 at the time - The Who, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, and Streetwalkers all on the same bill in Glasgow in 1976. Three of my favourite bands, all at their absolute peak.

HailGenocide! Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 So many bands, music is my thing at a guess i'd say I average somewhere in the region of 30-40 gigs a year, from major international bands through to local bands at a pub somewhere in suburbia. All time favorite would probably be seeing the Devin Townsend Project in October 2013, I love Devin's music and it was a hell of a ride going to all spectrums of how his music makes me feel, hearing him play "Deep Peace" live was mesmerising. Also, I make no secret of my love of the wonderful entity that is GWAR,hell even my username on here is a GWAR reference. I've seen them both times they've played in Sydney. The second time holds special significance for me due to Dave Brockie's death shortly after that tour. The first time was just a fun wacky day, dancing and having a blast while getting covering in stage blood and alien guts, the only footage i've seen of that show is of pretty hideous sound quality, but it gets across how much fun that day was As for others, so many to choose from. Seeing Black Sabbath and watching Tony Iommi play guitar was amazing, getting to see my fave band from when I was kid in Thin Lizzy was awesome, Descendents were great, The Bronx are phenomenal every time, speaking of every time, Every Time I Die make me smile, gah so much! Music rules! Quote Link to comment
Cleatorus Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I have not seen a whole lot of bands live, mostly DnB artists, but I recently went to see RUSH during their R40 tour and that was an AMAZING show. I'm still thinking about it.

Eedad Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I couldn't even tell them all. Every hardcore/ metal concert that came to town from the age of 14-21. I'd venture a guess at well over 1000. We had a great music scene here during that time. I was also in a band and got to play out at some of the places I'd frequent.
