jerseymikea Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Pretty impressive list...Are you in Finland? Okay, my list is all over the place. Different shows due to different circumstances... In chronological order... Tina Turner, Cyndi Lauper Ray Charles Bryan Adams Kiss Tom Petty Kiss, Skid Row, Ted Nugent Kiss, Saliva, Poison Billy Joel Celine Dion Cracker, Los Lobos Kiss, Aerosmith Chris Isaak, Natalie Merchant Billy Joel, Elton John Queen and Paul Rodgers Kiss, Buck Cherry http://entertainment.webshots.com/album/580070851cChWUo Styx, Yes Chris Isaak Terri Nunn and Berlin http://entertainment.webshots.com/album/580697197HFCIyb I'd have a lot more pics if I could use a good camera. Funniest moment of any show was when Paul Stanley threw his guitar up in the air and tried to catch it. It came down and cracked him on the head.

Let me guess, The woman you were dating wanted to go to Celine Dion huh? Same here..She was given 6th row tix and I went with her. At least we can say we saw an icon though. I'll admit her voice is incredible but I'd still rather go to see Terri Nunn. More my style of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have tickets to every show I paid to get into. When I was in high school we lived close enough to Meadowbrook Music Festival that I could sit on the back poarch and listen to the bands play and hear them just fine, so I heard a lot of bands live that I never actually saw. Add to that hundreds of local bands that no one here has heard of. There was a point where I was going to see live music 4-5 nights a week for about 10 years, that and playing guitar in a band that has opened locally for touring artist and I've seen a s*** load of live music over the years. Music is life to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RageATheM Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 My list is a little different then most of yours (I'm probably fairly young in comparison, 27) TLC (yes the pop group, I was 11 and was my first time to a concert and I was at Paramount Canada's Wonderland where they have concerts every Saturday in the summer and I had no clue who they where lol) Our Lady Peace Staind Finger Eleven Alexisonfire Aerosmith Ozzy Osbourne Disturbed Corrosion of Conformity Dope In This Moment Five Finger Death Punch Slipknot Machine Head Dragonforce Mastodon 36 Crazyfists Bad Religion All That Remains Skindred Art Of Dying Chickenfoot Sloan Great Big Sea Marilyn Manson Lamb Of God Gwar Stone Temple Pilots City And Color The Trews Dave Matthews Band Avenged Sevenfold Shadows Fall Hatebreed KoRn Rob Zombie Atreyu Tend to take footage when I'm at concerts, yes I'm one of "those guys" but I try not to be intrusive to other peoples viewing and have never gotten complained to, usually the opposite asking if I post my footage online. As I've progressed through the years my camera has gotten better and same with my camera work (except for the last concert, Five Finger Death Punch & All That Remains, may have had a bit too much to drink) http://www.youtube.com/rageathem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropkickMurphy8 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 These lists are ridiculous, I wish I had the opportunity (and money) to see most of them. Anyway, here's my little list: Beastie Boys (first concert, it was AWESOME) Megadeth/Children of Bodom/In Flames (Gingatour) AC/DC! The Answer (opened for AC/DC, and they've become one of my favorite bands) Saliva Creed Jethro Tull RUSH x2 Disturbed/Korn/Sevendust (Music as a Weapon) Motley Crue Iron Maiden/Alice Cooper coming up in June Hopefully they'll be something else worth going to this year. Might have to see Def Leppard, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside of concerts, especially outside festivals Yeah I can't stand that crap. I record every concert I go to, with the exception of Beastie Boys since I didn't have a camera then. I also have really bad videos of Gigantour, Saliva and Disturbed because my old camera sucked and I was right in front of the stage. Iron Maiden videos should be awesome.

CJ Matthews Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Oh jeez... *thinks* First concert was in middle school I think. Eminem was headlining around the time of the Marshall Mathers LP. Papa Roach, Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill all opened. Probably some others but I don't remember. So... Eminem Papa Roach (x3-4) Snoop Dogg (x2) Cypress Hill (x2) Linkin Park (x3) Godsmack Metallica (x3) Megadeth (x2) Slayer Anthrax Green Day Sum 41 Offspring Staind Aaron Lewis (Lead singer from Staind, x3) Hoobastank 3 Doors Down Silversun Pickups Social Distortion Foo Fighters Beastie Boys (x2) The Strokes The Yeah Yeah Yeahs (unfortunately) Sevendust (x2-3) Muse Puddle Of Mudd (x2) Seether (x2-3) Saliva (x2-3) Flyleaf Hinder Trapt Rev Theory Shinedown Chris Daughtry Incubus Eric Clapton Coheed and Cambria Soundgarden Weezer Rage Against The Machine Wu-Tang Clan The Roots Nas Mos Def Talib Kweli Pharoahe Monch Jedi Mind Tricks Public Enemy Jay-Z Chevelle Halestorm 10 Years U2 Jet Korn Saving Abel Some of these were part of festivals and local radio station concerts, but a lot of them were headliners/opening acts. I might be forgetting a few, and I'm also going to see Roger Waters at Yankee Stadium this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7keys Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 The best bands I've seen: Iron Maiden Primus Anthrax w/Joey Megadeth During the late 90's I saw a lot of "punk" bands like Pennywise and Bad Religion I'm still holding out hope I get to see Faith No More at some point in my life.

Brilliant! Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Dude, you say Anthrax w/ Joey...like there's any other Anthrax out there! I don't consider anything during the Bush years to be Anthrax but simply Armored Saint redux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Here's a partial list Music is life to me. You listed Loverboy before Led Zeppelin? I've seen more than I can remember, but let's take a stab at some of the more notable ones. The Clash U2 (War tour) Elvis Costello R. E. M. Blondie The Cure New Order David Bowie Bauhaus James Midnight Oil The Pixies The Fall Stereolab Jesus and the Mary Chain Van Morrison Devo Oasis Radiohead Violent Femmes Sinead O'Connor X and... The Electric Light Orchestra - first concert ever back in 1981 or so. By now nearly everyone has probably seen several of these groups as they have gone on to long careers of filling big arenas, if not stadiums, but many of the ones I have listed were in small clubs or theaters when they were just becoming known, such as The Cure at First Avenue in Minneapolis, which holds about 1,500, or the time I first saw Radiohead, they were the opening act for someone else!

No1TopGun Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 You actually PAID to see Faster Pussycat? And Winger? Faster Pussycat was supporting Lynch Mob so I didn't have a choice, worth it cause George Lynch is awesome. Winger were supporting RATT but I like Winger anyway I'd take Reb Beach over most other guitarists from the era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 So, I was sitting in class yesterday when Motley Crue and KISS announced that they're touring together this summer. Already got my ticket to see them at Jones Beach a week after my birthday. I'm not big on KISS at all, but I don't need an excuse to see Crue. For anyone interested - http://www.livenation.com/Motley-Crue-tickets/artist/910417?tm_link=search_act_1_name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Oh, man…this is gonna date me: Beach Boys Ike and Tina Turner Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young John Denver James Taylor Julio Iglesias (twice) Seals and Croft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Lol Ike and Tina and John Denver. Beach Boys and CSNY are acceptable, I'll give you a pass on JT too. Edit: For the guys who have seen Alice Cooper and KISS, how are they? I mean, I know KISS is supposedly one of the best live acts on the planet, but I've obviously never seen them. Alice Cooper is opening for Maiden, and I only like two of his songs. Worth seeing? (Disclaimer: I'm obviously not driving all the way to Long Island for Motley Crue and leaving before KISS, I just wanna know what to expect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Disclaimer: I'm obviously not driving all the way to Long Island for Motley Crue and leaving before KISS, I just wanna know what to expect) Halloween theatrics, 4th of July fireworks, and good old Rock and Roll...I took someone to see Kiss and Aerosmith on a night where Kiss opened. After seeing Kiss my friend seemed bored with Aerosmith and basically wanted to leave after like 4 or 5 songs. It kind of seemed like a let down after all the energy of the Kiss experience.
