[djrahbee]

STS9 Saturday night in Asheville NC. I've seen them upwards of 100 times over the past 20 years. I'm a huge music fan/snob. I'm into a lot of different stuff, jam grass, jam bands, electronic, hip hop, metal, reggae, dj/producer beats. Tried posting some stuff on WAYLT thread but it's a rc forum and no one cares lmfao

 

[stevenwm]

Favorite concerts would have to be
U2 the Rolling Stones
And pretty much every Reggae artist besides Bob and Tosh

 

[3x9rtse]

Let's see ,..... I saw the record skip on Milli Vanilli , had to take my wifes 6 YO little cousin to see New Kids on the Block , and take my now daughters a few years ago to see FGL , that's it !!!

 

[RC Steve]

The list is too long, I've seen Slayer 7 times.

I've also seen the Mountain Goats, my daughter bought the tickets.

 

[Ron Burgandy]

Hell
I forgot Van Halen …
Seen them several times
They put on a good show !!!
One of the more memorable
I seen was at the Blue note in Columbia Mo
Basically 2 story bar
With a. Theater style spot for bands to play
Maybe
1000 to 1500 people total
If memory serves
Supliltura opened
Then Fesr factory
Then it got really interesting
Band I never heard of at the time
Coal Chamber
Came out on stage …
Some chick with a key board sat on the floor of the stage
All the lights turn out
Keep in mind we are there to see “Countdown to extinction, Megaladeth
and HOLY CHIT !!!!
Played this

They played their entire album BEFORE Megaladeth who frikin ROCKS went on stage ….
It was every man for themselves
It was elbow to elbow
You couldn’t move like run away or anything lil
It rocked
I had a migraine for like for days after !!!!
Gold stuff !!!!
Lol

 

[speeding_Infraction]

Soon as I heard Metallica was going on a world tour I had to see if they were coming to Seattle. August 30th, 2024 baby
It'll be my first concert since I was 14 when COVID started and my parents aren't exactly party hardy hopefully they'll let me go, I'll be 18 by then but ya never know.

As for albums, apparently G'n'R is coming out with a new one? Supposedly drawing inspiration from the appetite album cannot freaking wait

That new Metallica album is the s*** as well

Horrible venue. Killer show!

 

[RC Steve]

The three best shows I've been to were Ozzy (25 years ago), Wall of Voodoo, and the Dead Kennedy's. I've also seen Black Flag. That was a freak show that made Slayer seem tame, you had to be there to appreciate it.

 

[Doom!]

It's going to take me so e time to dust off some brain cells to make a list, I'll get back to you.

 

[Rowdyray]

Haven't been to any in the last couple years. Just can't drink like that any more and deal with the ear ringing the next day. I'm getting old. Lol.

First concert was ACDC Hells Bells tour with Blackfoot. Think it was 1980 or 81? Been to so many since then it's hard to count. I'll try. In no particular order.

REO Speedwagon. Numerous times.
ZZ Top. Numerous times.
White Snake
April Wine
Rick Springfield
Talking Heads
Tom Petty
Huey Lewis & The News
George Thorogood, Numerous times.
Stevie Ray Vaughan. About a month before his death
Lot of hair bands, Lol
Local bands. Or cover bands.

Tons of them back in the day. And affordable. Now the prices are insane. These days I hit things like Riverfest or Rockfest. Multiple bands over a 3 or 4 day weekend. Party like I'm 18, meet new people and hear new music. Will always be a rock and roll fan. Some of the new stuff is fantastic. I've posted some in other threads.

 

[Warby]

Foo Fighters x3 (and again this November)
AC/DC x3
Metallica
Pearl Jam
Queen (with Adam Lambert)
Robbie Williams x2
Bruno Mars
Dua Lipa
Big day out x2 (Korn, Marilyn Mansen, Fatboy slim, Grinspoon, Red Hot Chilli peppers. +++ to name a few)

Sure I'm missed some.

I passed up an opportunity to see The Rolling Stones years ago. Big regret.

 

[Rocketzx1]

Only been to see 2 bands.

Yellowcard twice, in Sacramento.
Story of the year three times, once in L.A., twice in Sacramento.

 

[Ron Burgandy]

Ya
I missed a lot of bands in first post
A lot of bands I can’t even remember.
Lol
I use to have like almost every concert ticket stub , sure they got destroyed in the
BS but so have some of the concert t shirts and a few memories.
How is it that the youth these days have no new music ?
Least none I know of ?

The three best shows I've been to were Ozzy (25 years ago), Wall of Voodoo, and the Dead Kennedy's. I've also seen Black Flag. That was a freak show that made Slayer seem tame, you had to be there to appreciate it.

I actually understand…
Some concerts were just DIFFERENT
Black Flag sounds familiar…..
I seen a lot of bands at POPS in STL I can’t remember half of them some big done small .

 

[Smilinbri]

Only been to a handful, mostly in the 90s.

Saw Pink Floyd during their last concert tour at RFK stadium in DC.

Been to a bunch of Reggae festivals at a local Wine Vineyard here in MD (they held them annually) and also the Brew Fest Reggae concerts at the Baltimore zoo.

Saw Tribe Called Quest (DE LA Soul was supposed to be there be canceled at last minute) at University of MD.

Went to one of the Rock the Bells concert at The Merriweather Pavilion in MD (pic below).

Wow man, you just rattled some brain cells that probably never would have seen the light of day ever again…
I saw Wall of Voodoo in Dallas in like…1983? Them and ShaNaNa.
I saw Plasmatics in a small bar called the Blue Moon on the Haight sometime in the mid 80’s. Wendy O’Williams both scared the living f*ck out of me and left me in awe in a way I’d never been before.
I missed Dead Kennedy’s, also on the Haight, because we couldn’t get through the door. Rockin’Robbins? Can’t remember… We stood outside (me and a gay chick named Barbara) and got seriously messed up. There was another great bar there at the time, I can’t remember the name. Something like “steel rail” or ”iron line”… wait, I got it!! The I-Beam!!!! They had some great acts there, too. Good times, baby.
Wow. Anybody else out there party on the Haight in the ‘80’s?
Glad I made it back, man…

 

[john 8s]

Volbeat in Chicago and Grand Rapids. Brett Dennen 3x

[chris adams]

I went to local hard-core shows as a teen.
Sadly since then I have only been to B.B King and the black crows. BB king was great. I'm not a hardcore blues guy but very much enjoyed thst show, plus he was old and had to take breaks. He would basically go into a stand up comedy act while he let his hands rest. Two for on show lol. The opening act was great too but I didn't recognize their name.

 

[RC Steve]

I lived in the San Francisco bay area in the 80s, we used to go see shows every Friday whether we knew who they were or not. I'd have to win the loto to do that today.

Seeing every band that passed through town turned me on to a lot of music I probably wouldn't normally listen to. BB King, Buddy Guy, Zappa.
