I've never been to a concert :(.

I nearly went to see Velvet Revolver but a few days before they came it was cancelled. Scott Wieland was going into rehab. Then I thought I would use the money to see Ozzy instead but it was 18+. Argh!

Hard to say; I've seen quite a few great ones. One that sticks out in my mind was a Peter Frampton concert I went to a while back. I also saw B.B. King live, which was awesome.

Seeing Van Morrison and his band was incredible.

But he needs to start drinking again. It seems he was easier to understand when he was a drinker.

I went to see Suffocation when they did the Suffocating the Nation tour (United Kingdom) .. This was my first real death metal concert and I really didnt know what to expect.. Anyway when I got there there the venue was jam packed with scene kids and big mid 30's metal heads. I was probably the youngest there (15). After the support bands (Annotations of an autopsy & Trigger the Bloodshed) Suffocation came on, the whole venue turned into a huge **** moshpit people were going crazy.
it was the best night of my life

I've also seen Slayer, American Head Charge and Hatebreed at Harpo's in Detroit, Michigan. That show had a brutal pit. Dragging people out of it unconscious brutal. I just sat back on the ledge between main floor and the second level and watched. It's a small place and it was LOUD! This is a pic taken from nearly the exact spot I was sitting (taken from the Harpo's website):

That pit looks insane. You can just see random limbs flying at other people.

I cant pick one. It's between...

Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band is super tight and I've loved their music ever since I heard BSSM. I just wish I was concert going age back when Mofo Party Plan and Mother Milk came out...Gnarles Barkley opened for them at one of the shows I went to. Which obviously made it all the more kick ass.


When I saw Rob Zombie I was lucky enough to catch him at a tiny venue. It only held 3000. He played for like 2 and a half hours, it was amazing.


The Sword. OMFG. I saw them in the tiniest tiniest club I've ever been to. The crowd was great, and so was the band. I had a swordgasm. Get it? It's a play on words? lol?


Earth, Wind and Fire. Saw them in a little bar kinda place a couple years ago. I coundn't believe a band like them was playing at such a small place. Amazing show. Now they're on a stadium tour, if Im not mistaken.


George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars were the **** too. I mean...seriously do I even need to explain why? They are the FUNK.

EDIT: David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails should probably be on the list too...I've seen so many good bands. Aerosmith too.

It was definitely not something I wanted to get in the middle of. I was happy watching, which was almost more entertaining than watching the bands. The women we were with took refuge in front of me since I was sitting about chest height to the pit and could stick my legs out in front of them to help keep the moshers at bay. Oh and it was Chimaira, not Hatebreed, at the show. Slayer, American Head Charge and Chimaira.

In May I saw Finger Eleven, Shinedown, Killswitch Engage, Serj Tankian, Staind, Disturbed, and Stone Temple Pilots (their first concert in 8 years). It was absolutely amazing, all the bands were really good, even Finger Eleven surprisingly. Disturbed was my favorite, but I'm a huge Disturbed fan so I'm a bit biased...

I've been to too many to pick a favorite. Some highlights, though, are...

Killswitch Engage/DragonForce/Chimaira/He Is Legend

Eric Clapton/Robert Randolph & The Family Band

B.B. King (Twice)

Smashing Pumpkins

Peter Frampton

Megadeth

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I'm going to see Radiohead and Wilco this summer, and those should be awesome as well.

One guy posted Dream Theater/Opeth/Between the Buried and Me as his favorite. He's one of the luckiest people in the world.

Haha aww aren't you the little knight in shining armour? :D

My mate's really into Slayer and he lent me a live DVD. If I remember correctly, don't they have ambulances on hand at every Slayer gig because of the mosh pit?
