the concert thread

[sixner]

i made one of these a while ago and got some negative comments cause it was too early in the year for a line up of good concerts..

so, what concerts will you be going to this year?

Me... Warped Tour, Ozzfest, Red Hot Chili Peppers w/ Mars Volta, Shindown w/ Trapt, Evans Blue and some local bands (im friends with one of the opening acts), Blue October, 311...

plus lots of local show's, and all the show's i'll be playing :chug:

Warped, maybe. Maybe not. The lineup sucks and the friend I planned on going with got VIP with someone else.
So really, probably I've got nothing.

[Az_Holl]

And whoever else comes to BC that I have an interest in seeing.

Oh, I also met part of the touring lineup of Neverending White Lights, but I wasn't able to make it to their concert in Kelowna, so that doesn't really count at all.

[The_Red_Death]

So far this year I've seen dragonforce with protest the hero, and Dane Cook

I could have seen PTH when I was in Saskatchewan, but I had to leave the day before the concert. My cousin went, and told me it was amazing.

[sixner]

Btw, Sixner, your band needs to come down to Philly and play. I love listening on your myspace.
oh, wow.. thanks man, haha. that means alot to me. we've talked about a summer tour but 3 members (myself included) are just now getting new jobs and it'll be difficult for all of us to get the time off to do a tour and still come back to the same job that early on with the company........

BUT, if we do, we are forsure going to PA... i have family in Irwin n' such... so, if we do i'll let ya know man. haha

im actually a little tempted to just schedual a show out there anyways? maybe like a 3 show "tour' haha... friday-saturday-sunday

hm.... *Runs off to do some searches*

(edit) - oops, i had philly and pittsburg mixed up...... um, philly... is a long drive, haha. so, eh, it'll be a while.

-sixner

[Chris K]

next friday marcus miller and stanly clarke, the next day moe.

I thought they were playing at the same time, as someone on TB said Marcus was playing with a band at the same time as Stanley was playing a TRIO show. Either way, it's awesome, Stanley Clarke kicks ***.

I'm going to see Joe Satriani in a couple of weeks, and then in October I'm going to see Level 42, got 4th row tickets in both shows.

[FunkMetalBass]

None because I have some debts to pay off.


Actually, for the girl, I'm going to see RBD. I would also love to go to Ozzfest too.

[katana_manatee]

I'm in the same boat as funkmetalbass. I am £600 in over draft and currently jobless. Oh well, full time work come summer. I'll be seeing local shows and playing them though.

[Pluperfect_Arson]

20 June - Destroyer Destroyer, Thriller, Me and Him Call It Us, & Wreck This!

I'm excited for Destroyer Destroyer and MAHCIU. I've only heard a little from Thriller, though.

6 July - From A Second Story Window, Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index, Animosity, & Job For A Cowboy

14 July - The Number 12 Looks Like You, Heavy Heavy Low Low,& The Jon Benet

3 Sep - Suicide Silence, All Shall Perish, Too Pure To Die, Light This City, & Nights Like These

I stopped going to so many shows in my area beause there are so mnay bands that are just rubbish, and there really aren't any good bands that come through anymore. :(

But from 16 July to 26 August, I'm going to be over in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and there's a bunch of bands that I love that are from there, so I need to check out some shows while I'm there.

[FunkMetalBass]

Your girlfriend is dragging you to see a crappy latin pop band as well? :p

[katana_manatee]

Your girlfriend is dragging you to see a crappy latin pop band as well? :p

Actually no... Damn we don't have parallel lives. :upset:

[Led_Zeppelin678]

Add Gov't Mule to my list.

[RJDBass]

They are quite amazing. The bassist is an excellent player and he has a really great stage presence

[sixner]

-sixner

[The Forgotten Bassist]

Damn you, I really wanna see Shinedown, great band. If only I lived in the USA, and not the UK.

Don't really ahve any gigs planned, saw The Sisters Of Mercy, and wanna go to a few Viva Melodica gigs, that's all for now.

[FruscianteFan08]

I'm goin to Voodoo Fest in New Orleans in October, so far they've only gotten the chili peppers and duran duran (not goin to see duran duran) but they're supposed to be addin some really good bands later...

-sixner

I know their promoter in this area, so I get to hang out and play Halo 2 with them when they're in town. And yeah, they are a lot better with Chris, but I guess he's leaving this fall :upset:. At least I get to see them with him again before that, though. I just hope they get the new album out before then!

[rik]

Iron Maiden is the main one i'm looking forward to, in December.

[willibassist]

123

im gutted now cos i cant go to download cos of exams. and i cant barely go to any gigs cos of work

[TheIdiotBox]

So far this year I've seen Trivium, Silverstein, Goldfinger, We Are Scientists, Hundred Reasons, Taking Back Sunday and Thursday (on a Thursday, no less). Next Friday - Sunday I'll be at Download (highlights = Tool, Metallica, Sikth, Alice In Chains, Billy Talent, The Prodigy), then a couple of days after that Tool (again), then a couple of days after that Foo Fighters w/ QOTSA and Motorhead. Oh, and RHCP in July. Not a bad year, all in all.

[FunkMetalBass]

You probably spent over $1000 in tickets, homie.

[TheIdiotBox]

We use pounds (£) here, homie :p

Well, a lot of those were all at the same gig (Give it a Name - about £30), Trivium and Thursday were about £15 each, Download was about £150, Tool was about £40 and RHCP was about £50. Although add in train tickets, food and other gig/festival essentials and I'm beginning to realise why I still don't have a new amp :upset:

[the101er]

If I can find the money

Tool: it'd be so incredible

[Polyamarous]

Man, I'd love to see Goldfinger. It good?
YES Lostprophets on 17th July! Hahah

[FunkMetalBass]

We use pounds (£) here, homie :p

Well, a lot of those were all at the same gig (Give it a Name - about £30), Trivium and Thursday were about £15 each, Download was about £150, Tool was about £40 and RHCP was about £50. Although add in train tickets, food and other gig/festival essentials and I'm beginning to realise why I still don't have a new amp :upset:

Which is roughly $550, plus I'm sure the train tickets, food, and other "essentials" probably cost quite a pretty penny as well.

And f**k your pounds. I'm too self-conscious about my weight already, I don't need more pounds to tack on.

[TheIdiotBox]

Man, I'd love to see Goldfinger. It good?Yeah, Goldfinger were the ****. I didn't really know much about them beforehand, so when this bunch of aging punks came on-stage I was ready to go and get some pizza. Then they started playing, so I stayed, watched, jumped around and then went to get pizza when Angels and Airwaves came on.

Which is roughly $550, plus I'm sure the train tickets, food, and other "essentials" probably cost quite a pretty penny as well.Sadly, very true. Hell, I'm gonna be saving for a car now as well so I guess that's it for my spending-money-like-water for now anyway.

[PaulR]

Angels and Airwaves are pretty dull.

I'm only going to see Chilis at the moment.

[ChimPz]

Add Gov't Mule to my list.
Gov't Mule is great.

I'll be going to:

Graspop Metal Meeting: don't know most of the bands but i'm going anyway!
Rock Werchter 2006: Tool,Deftones, Manu Chao and RHCP

Download was about £150
Holy moly, and i tought the 130€ for Werchter was already a rip-off.

[The_Red_Death]

They are quite amazing. The bassist is an excellent player and he has a really great stage presence

Yeah, he is an amazing bassist.

[Wintermute]

Download was about £150:

Mine was £115.

Hooray for having friends of friends with houses in Donnington. I didn't have to pay for a camping pass. :D

[backsidetailslide]

Reel Big Fish w/ Streetlight Manifesto w/ Whole Wheat Bread w/ MxPx
Warped Tour.... Depends. Its Getting Very Emogay. but the Casualties are there
