What concerts have you attended?

[Limewater]

Hmmm...

I saw some random stuff in high school and early college. I didn't really care about music at all back then, so I don't really remember anything in particular. It was mostly church chorale stuff and some jazz from the Music department at my unversity.

Oh, I saw the Village People at a music festival. I managed to get a free ticket by volunteering to help with something, so I showed up. It was kind of fun.

I saw Creed, Sevendust, and Stir back in 2000 or 2001. I actually had no interest in any of them, and just went because all of my friends were going. I actually fell asleep.

I saw Sister Hazel when my friends won free tickets off a radio show. I don't remember much about the concert except talking with a neighbor of mine who was drunk at the time.

I saw Metallica in 2004. They put on a great show, and I really enjoyed it.

I saw Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet (Feat. Bela Fleck) a couple of years ago. This show was really incredible. I would definitely go see them again if they ever do another tour together. I wanted to see them just because Bela Fleck was involved and I could get cheap student tickets, but it greatly exceeded my expectations.

I hope to see Megadeth this year.

The only time I actively paid for a ticket was Motley Crue's "Carnival of Sins" tour in 2005.

And then I've gone to concerts because certain friends had extra tickets and invited me along. Those concerts were Deathcab for Cutie and Earth Wind & Fire (ugh x2).

Why do gamers so commonly listen to shitty metal?

[Niode]

Way too many to mention them all. My highlights are:

Rush
Blur
Fantomas
Squarepusher
The Locust
De La Soul
Tool (twice, amazing both times)
Dream Theater (4 times)
Rammstein
SikTh (their last ever show, it was epic)
Nine Inch Nails (3 times, the last time sucked, it was one of their last ever gigs and they played all the shitty slow stuff. Was bored out of my skull)

At one point my fiancée and I were seeing several concerts a month. One hectic month had 2-3 concerts in the same week. It would probably be quicker to ask who we haven't seen

Why do gamers so commonly listen to shitty metal?

If it's any comfort to you metal is my least favourite type of music. I guess it's a part of the rebellious youth phase, many do grow out of it.

And a few years back a wish came true when I got to see Rage Against The Machine at Rock the Bells (along with a bunch of other hip hop acts that I didn't really watch like Wu Tang Clan).

Wow, im so jealous of you. I have been a Rage fan since 93. Also Im a HUGE Wu-Tang fan. Wow I would love to see them both!
