Hayseed Dixie (YouTube them if you've never heard of them)

LOL! I remember when they first popped up, I heard about them on Opie and Anthony back when they were on what used to be WNEW here in NY, their first album was A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC.

Just got my ticket to see Brit Floyd on the 28th! I have been watching a lot of their videos, looks and sounds amazing! I have seen Roger Waters live once, but this will be the closest to a full Pink Floyd show that's possible to get.

Just saw Muse for the 4th time yesterday at the Consol Energy Center! Played a song they never played in the States too. Muse always puts on a f*cking good show. And Cage the Elephant was awesome too!

Just got my ticket to see CHUCK BERRY! I am stoked. The guy may be 87 years old, but its great that he still gets up on stage. Finally a chance to see the man who started it all!

Four days later it¨s Woodstock Night with Canned Heat (Woodstock lineup minus Bob Hite and Alan Wilson) + support Hot Tuna (with Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady from Jefferson Airplane).

Saw Coheed and Cambria in Huntington LI on Tues at the Paramore. Cool venue- by the bar they had 3 screens: 2 with hockey and 1 with the band. And CoCa played a great set too.

I think you mean the Paramount lol. Paramore, garbage. I'm still trying to get tickets to see The Eagles in a couple weeks, and I'm also considering seeing Halestorm just because Lizzy Hale has a great voice.

Halestorm was good. Saw them at Filmore Irving Plaza as an opening act for somebody else before they were even popular. I think I have a bracelet she threw into the crowd somewhere on the black hole that is my desk.

Yes. If you've been there, is it weird to you to have a venue smack in the middle of posh shops and well-off jerks/people?

Was it for Shinedown? I was at that show and her and the rest if the band started playing drums together towards the end of their set. It was cool, but was kind of a waste of time when you're opening for a much bigger act in hopes of gaining popularity. Your time is precious when you're an opening act.

It might have been but I honestly can't remember. I feel like I've seen Shinedown but the only place I can remember seeing them was at the Best Buy theater in times square. I've seen too many concerts to keep track of.

Agreed. I've seen so many, it's easier to just say if I didn't see a band. I've seen Shinedown at least a dozen times as well.

They're finally doing a headline tour playing Terminal 5 the day after Thanksgiving. I hate standing room only shows, which is why I haven't been to the Hammerstein since I got a free ticket to see Disturbed and Korn in 2011, but I might have to go since I've been wanting to see them since the first time I heard I Miss The Misery and I know they'll never play a venue with seating unless it's with somebody not worth seeing. I would have just seen them over the summer when they toured with 3 Doors Down and Daughtry had they been opening for them at Jones Beach, but the closest show Halestorm was on was in Syracuse which is also why I ended up not seeing 3 Doors Down. Plus I think it was the hottest day of the year too.

In other news, you see Roseland is closing? :(

I was at the 3DD and Daughtry show at the beach and actually had a good time. I wasn't expecting much from the show, but had no idea Ed kowalczyk was opening, and he was awesome, even though his sound sucked. The rest of the show was pretty good too.

I saw that about Roseland. I saw Pantera and Machinehead there. Also saw dream theater, a perfect circle, and a dozen other shows I can't remember off hand. Such a shame. That place was dank and beautiful. Lol

Yeah I'm upset about Roseland. Was only there once for Offspring and I had a 104 degree fever and almost died, so fun times. If you're going to terminal 5 and don't wanna be right on the stage it's a multi-level venue, go up to the 2nd level right away and grab a railing. Great view, no hassles. Saw Offspring there as well.

Yeah that could work, I don't anticipate too much of a mosh at a Halestorm show but still, I don't wanna be bothered by the one idiot who's crowd surfing like the Megadeth show at Hammerstein. 2nd floor railing works, I should be away from most of the obnoxious people. Good call.

Old Chuck still got it! Sure, his age showed but there were glimpses of the master he once was. He really showed his greatness in Oulu yesterday after a poor performance in Helsinki on Wednesday. I was expecting the worst but luckily it didn't happen. I felt really good leaving the arena.

Still can't believe I've seen Chuck Berry live. Next up: Scorpions and Black Sabbath in 3 weeks!
