Go by yourself. Nobody really gives a sh*t if someone else is there alone. I'd much rather go by myself than drag along a friend who I think wouldn't be into it.
Plus it's incredibly easy to meet people at concerts. You're surrounded by a bunch of people who have at least one similar interest as you do (taste in music).

I've been to hundreds of shows, probably near a thousand plus...hell no, I would never go to a concert alone. It's a terrible way to go in comparison to going with friends/mates/or even non fans.
Take a girl if you have no homies, it won't be as fun, but you don't want to be the lonely rocker dude at the show that everyone else avoids as a creeper. Sure, when the show starts, you will be moshing and probably won't care as much, but after the show and before the show will be very depressing I would imagine....plus, you will always know you went to see MEGADETH by yourself.
Only once did I get tickets that NONE of my friends wanted to go to (Bush and No Doubt), so I ended up buying a two tickets instead of one ticket for my friend and made him a deal, he flies, I buy. To be honest, I planned a date with a girl for that show, and last minute she got grounded or some such nonesense, and I had to come up with a way to use that second ticket.
He was my designated driver, and he got to go to a show he didn't like...funny thing was, he liked both bands after the show, lol.
The atmophere and hang out time was great, we moshed, met some new peeps...
I wouldn't go by myself, no way. I don't want to be that guy.
Do a similar deal I did, or talk to some girls at work or family like cousins or schoolmates, something, and do that kind of deal if you want to see Megadeth. Heck, it's a great way to set up a date. You pick the girl up, rock out, she may not be into it, but she can say she went to a Megadeth show, and you can take her out afterwards to make the date go well. I personally would rather be surrounded by friends that are fans, but when desperate, you may as well adapt. Heck, there has GOT TO BE some Megadeth fans, or at least friends that like Guitar Music/Rock music friends you could force to go...MAKE A DEAL for crisakes! :P If you don't have any friends that share your taste for music, you need to get out more and meet those people, they exist, I can assure you. :P
BTW, I've seen Megadeth once (I believe it was once, I've seen some bands so many times that it's a giant blur after the first time, like TOOL , Metallica, Weezer, KORN, Coldplay, or NIN).Megadeth were decent live despite their great hits, it could have been the energy of the crowd. I would wager this upcoming show though will be great. I'm not even a huge fan, but I recognize they have some great songs. That story I told you above, that same friend I told you about that saw BUSH/No Doubth? He loves Megadeth, and saw them with him, lol...and some other homies.

BTW : I'm only breaking this down for you TC, so you know I have experience in such matters. You can rock it out solo, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Everyone is very impressed.
That whole post could be summed up as one giant wanking motion.
Who cares about everyone? This was directed to the TC. We can't all live in Nebraska, be in High School, smoke, love on Casey's Gas Station Pizza, be young with tons of opinions and little experience, and recommend people go to concerts by themselves now can we? I'll tell you this, live it up now, get that experience, and one day you too can be using it to guide another users plight. Maybe if you are lucky, someone else not involved can quote you to tell you how impressed they are with your experience, lol. :P
This was a simple proposition, I wanted the TC to know my backround on the subject, and for the TC to make a judgement based on that. I wouldn't go to a concert by myself, but clearly it seems you would. You gave your reasoning, I gave mine. People were impressed for both of us, I'm sure, because we are just such a spectacle. Or maybe we are actually trying to answer the TC's question in our own ways? Hmmmm... We each have our backrounds, and our recommendations for the TC, he can make his decision based on what he reads or not. Who cares. I also gave him some ideas on possible date ideas, or getting a friend to go.
You can go back to pleasing/impressing everyone if that's what you are into, I'll stick to trying to help the various TC's out. People all have their opinions, some are backed by experience, some are backed by belief, some are backed by both. There sure seems to be quite a few armchair spectators in life, but the TC had a question I thought I legitimately could field with experience. Whatever, I just wanted to give the TC a breakdown on my perspective, which shouldn't be a problem. He's going to do what he's going to do anyways, eh. Carry on my wayward son.
