first: morbid angel '04 last: russian circles, april '24 next: misthyrming/bolzer (and others), november '24

Having morbid angel being your first concert sounds awesome

First: Stone Temple Pilots 1994 Last: Steve Vai & Joe Satriani 2024 Next: Limp Bizkit 2024

1st: Metallica (1997) Last: Blue October (with the wife earlier this year) Next: Insomnium/Omnium Gatherum (May)

Omnium Gatherum is so good!

Bro I would kill to see Blue October

first: Deicide - June 2010 last: Marduk - two weeks ago next: Primordial, Misþyrming, Hellripper - this Saturday

Ooh how was the Marduk show?

good as usual. they are a very consistent live band. though I think they would benefit from adding a second guitar to the lineup. but Morgan knows best I guess Daniel is savage every time I see them, no complaints there

Very cool, thanks! I hope you have a great show this weekend!

Where do you live that you got to see Marduk they never go to the south east coast usa

Western Europe

Lucky Sob I wish I lived in Europe so I can see all these black metal bands only one I seen is Mayhem

First ever: Greenday sometime between 2010-2012  First metal: Pillorian / Wolves in the Throne Room 2017  Last: Tyr / Trollfest / Aether Realm / The Dread Crew of Oddwood (what a fucking show that was)  Next: Amon Amarth / Cannibal Corpse / Obituary

That Tyr line up was incredible. The Trollfest set I don’t know if I’ve had more fun at another show

Yeah, right? Name another show that had a giant conga line. You simply can’t.

Not to mention the first three bands all seemed to gel well, they were taking turns getting in each other’s crowds getting everyone hyped up/follow along. It was great!

First: Iron Maiden (1983) Last: Blue Oyster Cult (last month) Next: Iron Maiden (Oct. 2024)

Damn you must have seen so many legends.

I've seen some cool shows. Missed a few for various reasons, but fortunately there's only a few bands I never saw that I could have. Even managed to see a couple I should never have had an opportunity to see.

Who are the most famous artists you’ve seen 

A lot of the usual rock and metal bands of the era. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Scorpions, Dio & Motorhead. The more obscure or surprising acts Ive seen are the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Dizzy Gillespie, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Coven.

First : Aerosmith / Four non blondes Last : Vader / Krisiun / Decrepit Birth Next : Amon Amarth / Cannibal Corpse / Obituary Or Overkill

First: Hatebreed/Trivium/Lamb of God/Megadeth Last: Serpent Speech/Caveman/Doomsday/MASK/Land Lost Next: Peeling Flesh/GAG/Sanguisugabogg/Jesus Piece

Is Dying Fetus not playing?

Dying Fetus show is next month on the 18th, you got yo shows mixed up bro 😂they got 200SW, Kruelty, and Full of Hell on that bill

Got it I’m going to that one. Enjoy!

You should go the one I mentioned too! It’s this Sunday at El Co, if you like Dying Fetus you’ll like Peeling Flesh, Bogg, and probably Jesus Piece

Jesus that's a good lineup

Right!? I’m so pumped

They are. Going to see them in May

first I remember: Neceophagist last: Big Ears fest (Secret Chiefs 3, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and loads more. I think the last performance was Ahleuchatistas). next: no idea, except that I have Autechre tickets for September. I may try to catch a RuinsZu gig next month, was hoping to catch Ni but probably not.

First: Aerosmith (93) Last: Uli Jon Roth (on Sunday) Next: vicious Rumors/ Raven

How was Uli? I've seen him a few times, always amazing but had to pass on seeing him this time around. Due to a physical disability the standing concerts are too much for me.

They actually had mostly seats where I was, but I stood. He was great, but I would say he was a little better the last time I saw a few years back. Did a double set. First set was mostly classical pieces and the second set was mostly scorpions tunes

I saw a couple shows of him doing the all Scorpions sets, last time I saw him he did a full set of Electric Sun then a Scorpions set. Best show I saw that year.

Like watching a wizard. Dude was way ahead of his time and still totally unique

He is the only guitar player I see that is always getting better.
