Alright so this thread is all about concerts! Which concerts have you recently attended? What did you think of those concerts? Which concerts are you going to attend soon? Basically this is the place to talk about concerts.

So I will start.

I am going to attend two concerts in May. The first of that being Progressive Nation, featuring Dream Theater, Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, and 3. I am really fucking pumped for this one as Between the Buried and Me is pretty much my favourite band right now. Though that is not to take away from how awesome the other three bands are. This is going to be an excellent concert!

The second one is Gigantour, with Megadeth, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Job for a Cowboy, and High on Fire. I am really only going to this one for Megadeth and In Flames. I hate Children of Bodom, and I have never heard of the other two bands.

I would attend Arch Enemy and Iron Maiden, but I am seriously lacking in the money department. So 

Now, it's your turn!

I saw the Mars Volta in January and i am seeing Lou Reed the 26th!

last year i saw Eric Clapton and RHCP

The most recent concert I went to was Future Of The Left last sunday, and it was deeply, deeply awesome. I arrived fairly drunk, since I killed time beforehand at the pub next door, and the place was pretty empty, and who did I see at the merch booth but Andy Falkous(!!!) (singer/guitarist of FOTL and Mclusky). So I wandered up to him and awkwardly initiated a conversation by pretty much shrieking "MAN YOUSE GUYS ARE THE BEST BAND EVER I LOVE YOUR RECORDS MCLUSKY DO DALLAS TOTALLY FUCKING RULED" right into his face. He was cool though, and I got to chat to him for a while before the show started. So, yeah, that was pretty much the highlight of my year. The gig was great, too!

wellllllll I was going to go see the mars volta tomorrow but I had to sell my ticket because the place that I work is hosting a wedding and I kinda have to be there heh

and I'm hoping I can go see the driveby truckers on may 7 or whenever it is that they're coming to columbus

I've only been to a very small amount of concerts.  I saw Jefferson Starship when they came to my hometown last year (we have this small fucking festival thing in a town no one knows and somehow we magically get like...JOAN JETT and stuff...except I didn't see her because I was really sick at the time and barely made it through Starship who I mainly wanted to see).  Sometime before or after that I saw the Doobie Brothers with my parents which was pretty cool.  Those are the only two real concerts I can remember going to ever.  I'm planning on seeing Basshunter if/when he does his U.S. tour, but I haven't heard any more about it so I have no idea when or what states he's doing it.

Most of the concerts I go to are classical shows because I'm a loser and I don't like loud noise and cigarettes!

Aside from various performances at my unversity the last two memorable shows I've been to were Joshua Bell and Marc Mellits. 

Joshua Bell is a virtuoso violinist and there's much else to say about that other than that he is a virtuoso!  He played a bunch of masterpieces the way they are supposed to be played and had some impressive solos.

Marc Mellits I saw at my university, and most of the performers were either students or faculty members.  It was the debut of some new music of his that the university had comissioned as well as an hour and a half of the rest of his music.  I was super excited because Mellits is one of my favorite composers.  I had a short conversation afterwards where I mentioned to him that he has a profound impact on my music and he laughed at me saying, "Well that can't be good.  I'm very sorry about that!" and I wasn't sure whether to be offended or not.  I was pretty drunk at the time.

The last rock show I went to was Flaming Lips last winter and holy crap it was amazing.  Seeing the Flaming Lips play live is a little bit like experiencing what exactly it would be like to be a wizard.

Been to loads, though mostly small local bands.

Some that stand out would be Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, Porcupine Tree, The Wildhearts (twice now) and Mike Park (who runs Asian Man Records, so that was pretty cool).

Got Leeds coming up where i'm prioritising Rage Against The Machine and Slipknot (I'm genuinely pumped to see Slipknot). That festival has a habit of getting better bands on smaller stages though, so i'm hoping for some gems there.

Hmm... The most recent ones I went to were Houston Calls (twice), and then I saw Between the Trees with Mae... I'm going to see Fall Of Troy tomorrow, and then Minus The Bear on monday.

last concert that I attended was August Burns Red, Every Time I Die, From First To Last (horrible), The Human Abstract, and The Bled.


next concerts I am attending are as follows:

april 26th: Emarosa, Catherine, and Still Remains
may 2nd: The Devil Wears Prada, Gwen Stacy, Maylene And the Sons of Disaster, and some others that I don't remember

Recently attended Young Knives and Long Blondes (oh Kate Jackson, stop teasing us).

Coming up, I've so far only got Leeds Fest and Radiohead at Victoria Park.

I saw:
Final Fantasy:  Dear Friends (lol nerd)
Sigur Ros with Amiina 3 times
Amiina with Tom Brosseau as an opener

that's all for now.

Man, the Mars Volta cancelled their columbus show again on account of Cedric 'being too sick to take the stage'

fucking bullshit

Gonna try to see 3 at the end of may in orlando or atlanta

I might be going to see Ashes Divide on May 29th.
