Scrash Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Well, if Red Hot Chili Peppers plan on touring through California, I'd definitely like to go to that. Same with Van Halen, since they're supposed to have a new album coming out soon. Other bands I'd absolutely love to see would be Alter Bridge, Coheed and Cambria, and Dream Theater. The best concert I've been to was the Ozzy Osbourne/Slash and Myles Kennedy show in San Jose back in February. Either that or the Tesla show at Thunder Valley in July, which blew me away. The worst... I guess would be Linkin Park, who played at the same venue later that month. I just thought the songs from A Thousand Suns didn't translate well live, and they lacked a certain energy. Plus, having been to a few LP concerts prior, I guess it's not as exciting to hear the same songs again and again. Quote plop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorek Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hard to pin down a best concert, though System of a Down is definitely up there. Tool and APC (separate times, obviously) were also high notes. I do love concerts in general, though. As for upcoming ones, the only one I can find is Puscifer, which hopefully I'll be able to hit up. We'll see what else comes up this year.

Queen of Liars Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Well, I'm going to see Alice Cooper tonight, with the New York Dolls as the opening act. I expect this to be an absolutely brilliant show <3As for now, the best show I've been to would have to be Iron Maiden.

Malevolence Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) I've been to several orchestral concerts as a youth. That's it, actually. Two concerts in 21 years. Probably doesn't help that I live in a place where no good music is ever performed. Anyway, both were okay. One had a terrible set, though. It was a bunch of quiet pieces followed by some more energetic ones, so you were falling asleep for the first half, and going deaf the second half.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The college I'm at puts on various small concerts all the time. Admission is usually either $3 or free for me, depending on how stingy they feel like being. Latest one was a flute recital (with piano accompaniment), which, to be honest, was terrible. Loud piccolo and overly simplistic piano are not among my favorite things. There's a nice little brass quintet coming up that should be good, though. Professional members of the school's music department, so you would hope that it would be difficult for them to screw up a brass quintet (whereas it is so very easy to screw up a flute recital, especially if the composers you picked are eight different kinds of awful).

pls respond Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 awesome to see that people are actually posting in here again turns out i missed the Between The Buried And Me concert, which really sucks because i love them a lot. i've already seen them though so it's all good in the hood next show i'll go to is probably gonna be Born Of Osiris, Veil Of Maya, Carnifex, Struc/tures, and Betraying The Martyrs. i like/love all of those bands except for Carnifex so that's gonna be amazing. that is unless my Thanksgiving plans change and then i'll be seeing Wretched <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 As a life-devoted music enthusiast (whatever that means) I really, really, really want to go to a concert. I desperately want to go to Kaskade for my first live concert, but Deadmau5 is supposedly so good live, I'd probably settle for that. It's a matter of overcoming my social anxiety mostly (and being around all that ec***sy may not be such a good idea). Also I'm 15 years old. So I'm probably not going any time soon.

Kyn Ace (III) Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 As far as concerts go I've gone to quite a few in the past couple of months. Such as, The Meat Puppets, they put on an amazing show and had a couple of really awesome local bands touring with them. Also saw a bunch of Floridian bands with Fake Problems shortly after that, with Fake Problems putting on an amazing show as always, full of energy and with a couple really awesome bands before them it really was a high point as far as concerts go. Following that I saw Into It. Over It., Andrew Jackson Jihad and Frank Turner and had to say it wasn't as great as I was expecting. Then just this weekend I drove myself up to GNV to see one of PS Eliot's last shows and I feel that the gas money and all was entirely worth it even though I'm probably not going to any other shows at the Fest.

Javi Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Ahh..I just attended my first concert on October 7th. fun. at the Grand Opera House in Macon, GA. I live in North Carolina - me and five friends drove six hours that afternoon to see an eight-song set. And it was totally worth it. They put on a really fantastic show; Nate Ruess really gets into it. Plus, half of those eight songs were new, so it was pretty exciting. Of course, I'd heard them all on video sites, but still. I might see The Airborne Toxic Event on November 23rd at the Fillmore Charlotte. My girlfriend's parents were actually debating letting her go with me. I would love to see them - they supposedly put on a great live show, and All I Ever Wanted is the only live album I can honestly say would make the top of a "favourite albums of all time" list. So I'd imagine they're pretty amazing live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pls respond Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 you live in North Carolina too? didn't expect that The Fillmore is pretty nice, I caught the All Stars tour when it went through there. that was a super long concert (almost 20 bands i think) but the place was comfy so it wasn't a big deal. i'd love to see someone there again but no one i like is playing there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Windrider- Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) The highlight of all my concert experiences occurred three or so years ago. I went that June to see the Mahler 8 performed for Lorin Maazel's farewell concert with the New York Philharmonic. And oh man, that sound. The finale was like hearing the entire universe resonating as one. Believe me, many manly tears were shed. Unfortunately, I missed out on seeing Mahler's 2nd symphony, the "Resurrection" symphony, this year for the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I might get to see Mahler's 9th in January, though! ...That's a lot of Mahler. Well, as far as concerts go outside of the classical department, I have seen very few, but the best was undoubtedly Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. They played "Incident on 57th Street." What I wouldn't give to hear it like that again. Edited November 1, 2011 by -Windrider- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Lurker Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 ^ I love Mahler! The last concert I went to was at the Atlanta Symphony with Joshua Bell playing the Tchaikovsky Violin concerto. Mesmerizing performance. Unfortunately I don't get to go often due to the expense. 1 Quote Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 My university is putting on a saxophone ensemble concert on the 28th. Should be awesome.'Course, I won't know, because it's at the same time as my bleeding music history class. You know, the class for which I have to attend a minimum of two concerts during the semester. Lovely class, but between people complaining about the length of the class and saxophones being saxophones, I think I'd rather hear the saxes. 1 Quote We will remember - Skies may fade and stars may wane; we won't forget And your light shines bright - yes so much brighter shine on We will remember - Until the skies will fall we won't forget We will remember We all shall follow doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peach 00 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I can't ever remember going to a concert, but I did see one about a year ago in Florida, basically a small group playing famous themes out of movies or just songs in general (Moon River, Pirates of the Carribean, etc.).And unless Pink Floyd spontaneously decides to start touring through the U.S., I'd plan on going. However, the tickets would probably be outrageously priced, lol. 1 Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...
