[guitarzombie | 936]

Nice to see Necrophagist and Pestilence on the list.  Ive become friends with Patrick Mameli relatively recently and i've known the Necro boys a long time.  I even had Sami play on our bands recent record.

[JamesRobot | 6,030]

Updated page 1 with all of my ticket stubs that I have.  A couple things I noticed: The first unripped ticket I had was Nine Inch Nails in 2000.  I remember thinking it was odd at the time and that it was cool that I got to keep the whole thing.  First emailed/paper ticket was Rammstein in 2010 and I haven't had a real ticket since.

Those are all of the "major" shows I've been to.  Saw countless other shows in the 2000s, mostly punk rock.

@JamesRobotholy fuck that is so cool to see all the tickets.

 

[Hammerfestus | 4,107]

Went to see Pain of Salvation and Klone last night.

[drxandy | 3,283]

I went through some of my tickets, here's a bunch of 2010 era+

Going through these I was like.. dang. So many shows I didn't get tickets, or snuck in, or was working or blah blah blah drunk

One event I went to multiple years was bledfest, literally using a highschool as a multi stage venue, the main stage being in the gym and many classrooms as small stages. Loved the execution.

In 06 I went with my family to Disney in Florida and went and saw him

Wishing I would have gone to see kittie the day before now hahah, but was really cool and the opener that mattered was the 69 eyes not Aiden.

 

That's about half the bag down, more pics soon wheee

[Hammerfestus | 4,107]

Rage

 

also saw Cloud Nothings a few weeks back at a hot dog bar.

[AirVillain | 534]

Neat. 

Concerts I've been to and my thoughts...

Classified/Hilltop Hoods in Calgary. Good show. I was the DD and immature so I probably didn't have as much fun as I could have. 

Hilltop Hoods in Banff. Awesome shows. Bumped into Hilltop as they were getting on stage. Gave them a fist bump.... ironically when they were promoting an album with a track called "The Art of The Handshake"... which they proceeded to perform.
 
Our Lady Peace. Great show. Sounded awesome. 

I'm going to see Lady Gaga this weekend.

[Kill Trevor | 3]

In order I remember:

 

• Rush
• Mark Knopfler
• Bob Dylan
• AC/DC
• Kanye West
• Jack White
• Roger Waters
• Three Inches of Blood
• Goatwhore
• Slayer
• Exodus
• Sleep
• Carly Rae Jepsen
• Sun Kil Moon
• Video Games Live (I guess this counts?)
• Green Day
• The Aquabats
• Reel Big Fish
• Bon Jovi
• Gojira
• Devin Townsend
• Black Sabbath

There's definitely more, but it's 2AM and I'm slightly drunk so I don't quite remember. I currently have tickets to see Rage Against the Machine and Run the Jewels for next year. I remember buying those tickets back at the beginning of 2020, but big virus has shut that down for years hahahahahha

[TDIRunner | 2,912]

Honestly, I'm not a big concert person.  I haven't been to many concerts and the few I've been to, I was invited by some friends, and I went more for the social aspect rather than the concert itself.  I would rather sit at home or in the car and listen to music instead of going to a concert and most likely standing for the entire performance.  With that said, one band I would really like to see live someday before I die (or before they retire) is Tool.  

Here is what I've seen.  It may or may not be in order since I don't really remember anymore.

• Hootie &the Blowfish
• Tantric (performed before Three Doors Down)
• Lifehouse (performed before Three Doors Down)
• Three Doors Down
• Dave Mathews Band
• One more band that I can't remember that performed at a county fair while I was in high school.  It might have been Third Eye Blind or a band with a similar style from that era.

The difficulty remembering was real.  Luckily one of a group of us that went to a lot of concerts together had his stack of ticket stubs from back in the day.  That helped.  A lot of my earlier, smaller localish shows are going to be forever lost in my memory I’m afraid.

[AirVillain | 534]

I went to see Lady Gaga at Rogers Center on Saturday.

It was fucking awesome. 

I had such a terrible seat that I got bumped.... to the FLOOR. So that basically made it all worth it. 

Had a little light up wrist band, got to see her sing and play the piano up close. 

Was really cool. 

[Murray | 2,490]

[drxandy | 3,283]

Went through the rest of my tickets, ooof just so many shows I got nothing but a memory that isnt so clear but here goes:

2010s era, the jamboree in Toledo was cool, did merch for my friends band but really just hung out and saw lots bands. That converge show was insane. Only went to one warped tour in 2013, but got super lucky to get guestlisted which was really cool. That Sean bonnette set was completely amazing, one of the best shows I saw at mac's. Badge on bottom right from working the sounds of the underground. 

 

2000s era

Super cool show, also soad shot the hypnotize video during this show, so siick. Also Mars Volta was nuts!

 

2014 I wanted to see two shows consecutively in Detroit so I had a solo trip, went to the Detroit institute of art and spent the night on someone's couch. 

The first night the Swellers final Detroit show and the fullblast came from Canada to play it (was so stoked, glad to finally see em and got lucky to get a set list)

the second night was say anything, saves the day and Reggie and the full effect each playing full album sets. What a nice weekend it was.

[FireHazard51 | 2,105]

Fuck me!  @drxandygot to see Reggie and the Full Effect, Cursive, & Say Anything.... Damn.  I got some tour posters that I framed with the ticket stubs for Hey Mercedes and The Get Up Kids (I'll post later).  My biggest let down was buying a ticket for Braid but didn't end up driving all the way to Columbus for the show.  Can really kick my self in the ass for that one.

Other notable shows I saw were The Offspring (first concert), Dropkick Murphys (got on the stage), The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (just a great band/concert).  I got dragged to a Rise Against concert but didn't enjoy it because I was sick the whole damn time.  I spent like one song in the mosh and the rest of the night near the bar wishing I wasn't even there.  Literally doubled over in the back of the van and my friend told me we where at the venue so time to get up and enjoy the show.

For the most part I didn't get to fully enjoy the bands I saw because I didn't listen to their latest album before going to the show.  Or I didn't know about the other touring bands and became fans of them later on and can't remember much about them in the show other than they  were good.

H20/new found glory

ataris/auto pilot off 

rufio

jimmy eat world

my chemical romance/finch

thrice/dashboard confessional

handful of warp tours - number of bands goes up exponentially here. looking back, i don't think i really enjoyed these.  way too many people.  and the fact we were bouncing from stage to stage we were always in the back of the crowd.  the side stages weren't bad i guess, but the main stages the musicians looked liked the size of ants.  i would probably never go back to a music festival again. 

drive thru invasion tour

2010s

the world is a beautiful place and i am no longer afraid to die

are you a fan of moneen? i loved them in the mid to late 2000s.  they have played a handful of shows the past couple years, so hopefully they will deliver new music in the future.  

i'm pretty sure say anything opened for thrice and dashboard confessional in the mid 2000s.  we got to the concert late, so we missed the opening act (which i THINK it was say anything).  on the drive home we listened to the sampler cd passed out at the concert and when say anything popped up i was instantly a fan.
