A Post Got Me Thinking
First Rock/Metal (Those Genre's) concert you attended?
@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!!
@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.
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.
@serena totally not worth the money anymore. The line ups are shat, half the people switch out. It's just blah
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.
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
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.
@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.
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!
@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 ?
@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)???
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! ?
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.
