What concerts have you been to so far this year?

[Barking Pumpkin]

Well, I've seen a fair number of metal shows, so some of the other shows stand out: Porcupine Tree at the Roxy a short while ago, and Ozric Tentacles at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC, and again at the Neighborhood Theater in Charlotte back in March. (!)

Not SYL? I don't blame you, I didn't think the mix was very good.......it's not great at The Masquerade in general though, so not a surprise.....-_-

 

[Yngvai X]

For me its been:

Allan Holdsworth
Kreator
James LaBrie
Kreator (again )
Lilitu

Upcoming:

Allan Holdsworth (again - tomorrow!)
Asia (to see guitar god Guthrie Govan...really I'm not an 80s arena rock fan )
Edguy
Gigantour
Progpower (duh )

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

I still need to get some Allan Holdsworth......

 

[JonnyD]

Overkill ??? I know, I know but a Thursday nite 3 days after PPVI trip?!?!?

OVERKILL are so totally totally worth seeing!!! They blow away every band I have ever seen!

 

[SavaVIDude]

Pretty slow so far:

1. Collective Soul 3 times in 3 small venues!! My wife's fav band - I like 'em too.
2. Billy Idol - small venue - Steve Stevens and ex-DT keyboardist (BRAIN FART on the name!!).
3. Velvet Revolver - TWICE!! What a band!!

Coming up:

1. Ted Nugent, Jackyl and some other bands at a bike ralley in Dallas.
2. Crue
3. Ozzfest - Sabbath, Velvet Revolver (can't get enough!!), BLS, Rob Zombie
4. PP

Also going to see James Rivera's new band - Killing Machine at a local club. My budz - Mystic Cross with a new singer - called Six Minute Century is opening.

Good year.

I saw Porcupine Tree back in May. Can't wait for them to come back to the States again in the fall.

Wanted to see Opeth about a week ago, but just couldn't fathom sitting through the rest of the bands on that Sounds of the Underground Tour.

[7thSaviour]

Just saw the local Priest/Ryche show and the local Manowar/Rhapsody show, as well. Hail! Both shows ruled! Am going to see Motley Crue at Philips Arena in September!

 

[jdennis007]

its cool when you dont have to really travel and they come to your town. How many do travel though? (besides for Progpower)

 

[7thSaviour]

Yeah, it is indeed cool, but there are MANY shows that just do not play in Hotlanta, for whatever reasons. We are being left off the Ozzfest and Hammerfall tour iteneraries. Thank God Dave Mustaine had his boys book Gwinnett for Gigantour. Plus, Nightwish cancelled on us, AGAIN! Hail to PPUSA!

 

[rottingflesh]

But the Crue is the same night as PP???

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Well, four hours to go to a few concerts in Atlanta a year. Three hours to Myrtle Beach. There are more in Atlanta than Myrtle Beach, though.

Yes, indeed, the Crue show is on Opening Night of PPUSA. That's why I'm trying to sell my ticket. Anybody interested in a ticket for the Friday gig? LMK. metalpuck@hotmail.com
Thanks.

You mean selling the Crue ticket right?!?!?!?

 

[7thSaviour]

Heck no! I mean I'm selling the Friday night ticket for PPVI. I'm NOT gonna miss the reunion tour, and besides, I really only like Angra of all the opening night bands. Saturday night's lineup may be the best ever for one night, though. Hail! See y'all there.

 

[booB]

Normally, I'd advise you to skip the Crue this time around, and see them on the next tour... but, considering your luck for having tours skip over you...
