[Lunar Still]

Yes, this "hardcore" shit is destroying every heavy music scene in America. I have an intense desire to strangle any fucker I see waving his arms and legs around at a concert like a hyperactive crackhead.

That's why Gigantour was fucking great: those idiots only came for one band that I didn't care about and left.

wow there's no way I can remember all of them.

p.s. just because i saw a band doesn't mean i like them

 

[MetalSteph]

First show: 1984 - Dio/Dokken
Last show: 2006 - Twisted Sister last weekend, In Flames tomorrow

Proabably a few hundred in between there. I think i've seen Nevermore around 25 times, saw Sanctuary 3 times.

I'm a concert junkie. Seen just about every band I even kinda like 3 or more times. Old school bands like Slayer or Metallica i've seen 10+ times.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Seriously impossible for me to do, won't even try.

1st concert: August 1988 (Guns N' Roses/Deep Purple/Aerosmith)
last concert: January 2006 (Heathen Crusade: Enshrined/Autumn Eternal/Dumah/Typhus/Todesbonden/Novembers Doom/The Chasm/Thyrfing/Primordial/Moonsorrow)

I've seen well over 300 concerts in between, including lots of festivals, including Wacken in 2003. I have no idea how many bands I've seen, or even all of their names.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

bump

 

[Phonzadellika]

Instead of posting every concert I've been to (I'm too lazy to type for 10 minutes and too brain dead to think back that far), I think I'll just post my top 5 all time favorites so far:

Roger Waters: In the Flesh
Nevermore, Opeth, Angel Dust, God Forbid
In Flames, Nevermore, Some other fucking band, Shadows Fall
Cradle of Filth, Nile, God Forbid

Summerbreeze 05: I was blackout drunk for half of this festival, but I remember seeing Opeth, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquility, Atrocity, and Macabre. I think this one's on the list just because it's the most fun I've ever had a festival. The Ozzfests usually leave something to be desired (except for 99 (I think) when I got to see Drain STH and Slayer on the same day), and I didn't care much for Wacken and Earthshaker.
