For ex my mate asked me to go see Dragonforce but one look at them on YT and I was laughing my head off. If the guy up front can't or won't sing properly then I am out of here.

Dragonforce is awesome man! The guy has Bruce Dickinson style vocals and the guitarists are truely amazing.

Actually most of my list is older Metal Bands....

Heard of Muse (dont like them), Hanoi Rocks (dont like them), Wildhearts (dont like them)

Never had a problem putting out 30 to 50 dollars for a show. The festivals I go to cost about 120 dollars a festival but I only go to 1 or 2 of those a year. Dont know never had a problem.

All those bands I have seen though were over the last 18 years so it is not like I go to hundreds of them a year.

I used to do about 3 to 4 shows a month. Now I only go to about 2 or 3 a year.

[Cota1992]

off the top of my head in sort of order but not exact:

Ratt
Ozzy Osbourne
Los Lobos
UB40
Mojo Nixon
Eek-a-mouse
Patty Loveless
Jodie Messina
Terri Clark
Dwight Yoakam
David Ball
Chris Ledoux
Leanne Rymes
Mark Chessnut
Don Edwards
Red Stegall
David Wilke
R.W. Hampton
Hillsong London
The Prodigals (The best show out all of them, hands down)

I don't get out much to bigger concerts much, prefering smaller more unknown bands in taverns, but here's the bigger names I have seen and most of these I saw while at fairs and Rodeos which is why th list is so scattered.

THATS IS SOOOOOO AWSOME. i wish i had seen twice the talent

[Jugulator]

I've not been to too many, and the ones I did are relatively small, but they were great:

Kid Rock in 2003 at the Roanoke Coliseum
Pro-Pain at the Gallery Billiards pub here in Sarasota, Fl.
and my local Y runs a battle of the bands that has been attracting the attention of metalcore and death-metal bands both locally and nationally, though, of course, the news is spread underground.

[Jugulator]

Of course, if any of you guys ever get tickets to Priest, Iced Earth, Sabbath, Ozzy, or Maiden, you'd better hand 'em over pretty quick.

Even faster if it's Slayer.

Lets see:

Priest: Saw em back in 2004.

Iced Earth: Saw them in 2002 with Matt Barlow before he left the band. Here is a pic of the show that I took:



Sabbath: Saw them in 99 with Godsmack and Drain STH.

Maiden: seen them several times now last time back in 2005.

Slayer: seen them several times now, infact I saw them several weeks ago at Rock im Park. Check out my Rock im Park 2007 thread.

Ive seen quite a bit of bands. I am a die hard metal head.

[Jugulator]

I have too little money and no car to go to all the big shows

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Some day my young Jedi, Some day...




My next show will be in December (I dont go to as many shows as I used to) and it will be the Black Crusade Tour here in Europe with Machine Head, Trivium, Dragonforce, Arch Enemy and Shadowsfall.

[Jugulator]

I REALLY want to go to the Sounds of the Underground show in Orlando! It's NOT Fair. lol

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

There are a few bands on that bill that are not bad:

Shadows Fall (Great)
Gwar (music actually sucks but there show is crazy as hell)
Chimaria (sucks live believe it or not, I just saw them a few weeks ago and I was very dissapointed)
Amon Amarth

Special Guests on Select Dates"
Lamb of God (****ing great, saw them too a few weeks ago and was very very good!)
Testament (Great classic Thrash band from the 80's)

[Jugulator]

Yeah, and Behemoth was supposed to go, but I believe they canceled at the last minute to do a bigger show.

[Heinz]

Tis **** in Australia, I need to move to Europe or the US for a while get some gigs seen.

Lucky Im half english i can perch someone over in Britain..........


I have to say G3 will take some beating that was a monumental gig,

I;ve played more gigs than I've seen

[mosquitoman]

Same, it's more fun playing a gig instead of watching one IMO, especially if the band you're watching is a pile of cr*p.
