A Post Got Me Thinking First Rock/Metal (Those Genre's) concert you attended?

I would go to Warped Tour this year just for nostalgia as it's their last year, but there's no dates near me. It's gone super downhill though.

It was actually a music festival in England called download. I think the first band I saw was Korn.

10 Years and Emphatic was my first rock concert.

Lol I’m 30

I must be a lot older than you pp. I went to a papa roach concert in college and jacoby held my hand for a song. It was awesome.

Mine was Papa Roach, I was 13 and it was free lol

None?

@gullible I’ve seen them so many times!! Too many to count even!! I think they recently either did or are coming to philly!! So I’ll be going if it hasn’t happened yet!! Not many people know about clutch and how great they are!!! I’ve been listening to them since high school. That was almost 20 years ago!!

Taking back Sunday ?

I’ve been to earth day birthday and went to warped tour for years

@serena they've actual been saying it for a while. It was made official last year I believe.

The venue here doesn't want to do it anymore and I think attendance has been shat.

First show was Hatebreed and White Chapel. First festival was, Metal Fest. I’ve been to more shows than I can count though. I support our local heavy metal scene. My favorite live show is definitely Slipknot. Those dudes know how to perform.

Shayy yeah exactly. I guess I won't ever get that experience. I'm glad I did get to go to a good one though. There were also a lot of other good bands that opened for them but I have to read the ticket I saved to remember them all.

Biscuits nooooooo ? whyyyy?!

I would bet it has something to do with the drummer from PTV being accused of sexual assault at warped tour.

I've seen Avenged Sevenfold twice (AMAZING) with Three Days Grace and Bullet for my Valentine, Green Day, Alice Cooper, and a lot of others when I was younger. My first actual concert was Avril Lavigne ? when I was 11. Haha!

None of you are old enough for this one lol. But my first concert was Lollapalooza. I think it was 1995. Hole, Cypress Hill, Sonic Youth. I don’t remember who else.

I’ve been to a loooooot of concerts. But that was my first. I won tickets off the radio. ?

@ss I love Clutch too! Haven't been lucky enough to see them yet though. My dad's seen them so many times though. ?

Probably clutch!! Love them!!! I’ve been to ozzfests too

This is the last year of warped tour forever anyway, I hope they bring back some good ones but I doubt it.

@serena totally not worth the money anymore. The line ups are shat, half the people switch out. It's just blah

Of the genre you’re referring too, it was the devil wears prada in 2008. My first concert was fall out boy though. I was 12 in 2007, they’re still my favorite band of all time.

The first concert i went to was The Allman Brothers but my first rock concert was Ozzy or rhe the first Ozzfest. I cant remember which was first lol

The Used ? best experience ever. I still need to go to a warped tour festival but I don't even recognize half the lineup now ?

I have yet to attend a rock concert. I’ve been to quite a few country ones. I want to see FFDP and Shinedown though. ?

ETA: Tool also. They are DH’s favorite band

Warped Tour at 14. I've been to like 12 Warped Tours and that's actually where I met my husband ?

Breaking benjamin and shinedown

I’ve seen rise against, weezer, trans Siberian orchestra rocked out pretty hard that was cool. I seen Rogers waters so dark side of the moon. Those are the ones that stand out anyways.

Family values tour! It was koRn, stonesour, flyleaf, 10 years and. Few more. I was 12ish.

I've been to see so many bands it's hard to remember them all. I went to most of them with my ex but that was about 10 years ago. I'm always up for a rock show though. My very first concert was Breaking Benjamin, Staind, and 3 Doors Down when I was 15. I've also seen Three Days Grace, Seether, Matchbox 20, Social Distortion, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind, Five Finger Death Punch, New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men, and Paula Abdul.

My favorite show was by far Soilwork. I can't wait for them to come back to the US on their next tour.

KISS

Other than local bands, Disturbed

Metallica. It was one of mine and so's first dates.

Danzig

Atreyu

My mom was strict and Christian so my sister and I were only allowed to go to Heavenfest. I was 13 she was 15. We saw Pillar or Disciple, I don’t remember which one for sure but I had NO idea what a pit was... but my sister did and pulled me up front without telling me. I swear she did it on purpose to freak me out lol. Once I realized what was going on, I frantically started escaping the crowd and walked straight into some dudes sweaty stinky armpit. I’m 4’11, he had his arm up and my face just haaad to be perfectly aligned with his pit :(

But since then, I’ve seen Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown, and POD.

Fightstar, it's a British band, still my favourite band to this day ? I've seen them live 14 times!

Other bands I've seen are

HIM

Green Day

Good Charlotte

My Chemical Romance

Panic! At the Disco

Armor for Sleep

Brigade

Wheatus

Black Stone Cherry

30 Seconds to Mars

3 Doors Down

Lostprophets

Funeral For a Friend

I've seen loads but can't remember all of them, I still need to see Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Alter Bridge, Atreyu, In This Moment, Halestorm and Gemini Syndrome.

Just booked tickets for Def Leppard in December too ?

@llama i meant bands like those in general. I was half asleep trying to remember genres lol

Does Good Charlotte count for rock? My actual first concert was the Backstreet Boys, though. ?

My first “metal” concert was Avenged Sevenfold and Coheed and Cambria.

NIN

Marilyn Manson

Social Distortion

Dropkick Murpheys

All That Remains

Senses Fail

Avenged Sevenfold

Atreyu

Alkaline Trio

I know there's so many more. I've been to warped tour like 5 times and I was so close to house of blues when I worked downtown Chicago so my boss always got us free tickets. I miss my crazy days.

KMFDM ?

@kitty, by no means did we want to be in the pit ? some azzzhat shoved us in a circle pit and we kept trying to get out.

Sad part, that was about 4 months before I found out I was pregnant with my oldest. So I was 3weeks along.

@flam, so jealous!

Atreyu on tour with From First to Last. I can’t exactly remember if it was on the day of or prior but Sonny Moore (Skrillex) left the band and I never got to see FFTL live ?

12 years ago...

My first was Korn and Stone Sour last year! I loved it so much! Then I went to Five Finger. Just waiting for Slipknot to come!!!!! And I'm going to Stone Sour and Halestorm in a few days :)

There's just something about a metal/rock concert that I love so much! I've met so many wonderful people there and the energy is just amazing!

I missed them last summer ? my son loves A7X too ??

@zombie I hope one day to see Avenged Sevenfold! Especially Zacky Vengance ?

@shayy I havent been in a pit but ive seen how my SO ends up all bruised ? I get discouraged. My SO actually wants me to go with him to Aftershock this year to experince being in the pit for. Its in October BUT im due in August. As much as id love to be pushed around and breathe in dust at 2 months pp ill have to pass till next year ?

The Scorpions??

I went to a Foals concert 2016

Taste of Chaos.

@kitty. I had a "science project due" when I went to mine. Told my dad I fell downstairs because my side (got shoved grabbing a friend out of the pit and ran into a dudes knee when we got shoved) and face were bruised (some azzzhat punched me for no reason 10 times, funny thing is, that's how I made some new concert buddies)???

I saw lots of bands at outdoor festivals starting at 14, with my older sister. I haven’t been to many as an adult. Last band I saw was Avenged Sevenfold in 2014.

My parents were strict so i never went to a concert until i got with SO and was done being pregnant ?. Anyways, my first was last year at Las Vegas i saw Stone Sour, Korn, and Rammstein. Im so glad i got the chance to see Rammstein! My next go to is Knotfest in San Bernardino and Aftershock in Sacramento! ?

Only co cert I ever went to was a Scorpions concert. I won tickets and was so thrilled because it was their big fairwell concert and they’re dh’s all time favorite and he’d never been.

My First concert was TOOL.

I saw Everclear when I was in high school. That was like 17 years ago.

All American Rejects in middle school.

First big one was Green Day and my chemical romance when I was like 12. Tool the next year.

I honestly can’t remember... I went to a lot of local rock shows when I was a kid. It might have been either 311 or Primus?

We went to Northern Invasion rock festival a few years ago. Got to see slipknot, five finger death punch, three days grace, in this moment, and tons of other bands. It was amazing.

Quiet Riot

*glitches are for the weak*
