the I-ALREADY-SAW-THEM-LIVE-thread

[chicken]

alright, i dunno if you guys are concert bitches but i just wanna know if there are any bigger bands (known worldwide and such) you already saw live...

why?

cause im gonna see LINKIN PARK this thursday (23rd of july) and i just cant wait

well i already saw quite SOME bands (festivals and such), cant remember how much, i may post a list when i got more time on my hands ^^

so how 'bout you guys?

[tay120n64]

I've seen Creed, Three Days Grace, Seether, and Breaking Benjamin.

Yeah, I don't go to concerts much, lol. Those are pretty popular bands in the US, but not sure about worldwide. I know Creed was pretty popular back in the day.

Listing all the concerts and festivals I've been to would take too long right now, maybe I'll write a list and when I find my box of tickets...

[thefencemaster]

Styx, REO Speedwagon, The Moody Blues, The Who, Van Halen, Steve Miller Band, and the best show I've ever seen live Rush

Pretty much it for me

[Mantaray]

I don't go to live bands mainly because of ticket cost and the audience. They get all emotional and crap and block your view. Blaghghh

[EverPhoenix]

Dragonforce (twice)
Vanishing Point
Nightwish
Children of Bodom

[SoulBlazerFan]

My Chemical Romance- before they hit it big. I got pulled to a local punk show. They got booed off stage.


...Nope, none. I'm not a big music guy.

[chicken]

always wanted to see evanescence, amys voice is just.. wow

and my chemical romance... heh i dont know if i like them or not, its just... meh ^^

[tay120n64]

I've lost interest in Evanescence. Their stuff before they were discovered was the best, but unfortunately, I've burnt out on it all.

And as awesome as Amy is, she can't write music. Their last album was

Oh, and for whatever its worth, I live in Evanescence's hometown.

I did a lot of Christian concerts back in the day, so I got to see Five Iron Frenzy and another big Christian group that way. Five Iron Frenzy was really fun though, they're huge dorks.

So far in terms of normal concerts, the recent one was Radiohead which will stay the most amazing concert experience ever. I'm hoping to see Sonata Arctica here in September, and HOPEFULLY I'll get to go see Angelspit and KMFDM in October.

@tay: The guy I like saw Seether in concert and shattered his ankle in the moshpit on the last song. I still laugh at that.

[tay120n64]

Seether put on a really good show. I was quite pleased.

Breaking Benjamin on the other hand sounds terrible live. (which made me sad.)
