My sister would die if she has a chance to meet Bring Me The Horizon. She likes Oliver too much. I don't like concert so much, but the only one I've ever been is a Linkin Park concert. I also "had to" go with my sis to wait for Good Charlotte at the airport. I've got their sig, but my sis didn't(hahahaha 😀)

I like sports so I've been at stadium to see Everton, Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers. Also Real Madrid. And supported Russian girls football team in Universiade till the final(which they lost 🙁). I've got a friend in the team, yay! And I've been to tennis court to support Thai Fed Cup team VS Slovakian.

Well, it would be nice if I could meet someone from Buffyverse. 🙂

Ok so basically the last 3 were Finnish festivals but this is the majority of bands I've seen in the last... 4 years or so. Most of them are Finnish or European apart from the big bands as you can tell but for now I have no more gigs lined up as I've seen one band (you can all guess) 3 times this year in the space of like 3 months or so.

 

[Nix]

I've been to loads over the years but the ones that really stood out are;

Metallica
Marylin Manson
Sisters of Mercy
Kiss
Korn
Placebo

This year i'm hoping to go see NIN 😀

[itsxpaperdoll]

I'm so jealous of all you guys! NIN, Foo Fighters, Muse, Placebo, Biffy Clyro, HIM, the Gossip.. I want to see them all live so badly! But, I have seen some good gigs, too.

My parents allowed me to go to concerts only last year, so it's not an impressive list. But yeah, I've seen:

Mindless Self Indulgence (x2)
Aiden
Arch Enemy
A Wilhelm Scream
Babyshambles
Black Tide
Bullet for my Valentine
the Cribs
Cult of Luna
Electric Eel Shock
Electrocute
Finntroll
Kill Hannah
Krause
Metallica
The Mighty Boosh
Milow
Mystery Jets
Peaches
Textures
the Ting Tings
the Underwater
Voicst
Volbeat
Within Temptation

Some of the above are support acts I remember to be kinda okay, like Black Tide (supporting BfmV) and the Underwater, who were touring with Kill Hannah and Aiden. A Wilhelm Scream, Volbeat and Cult of Luna I saw at a festival when we were waiting for MSI. They'd play around three, and my best friend and I were at their tent at 11 because we didn't want to risk being too late. AWS was a bit too hardcore-punky for me, I was pleasantly surprised with CoL and Volbeat were absolutely, ridiculously amazing.
Milow, a Belgian singer-songwriter, I didn't really see, but I heard him. 'Twas at another festival and we were sitting in the grass just outside the crowd. It was his first gig in the Netherlands and he's made a really sweet cover of 50 Cent's Ayo Technology (YouTube it!).
Both BfmV and Aiden/Kill Hannah I went to because my best friend wanted to and noone wanted to go with her because, you know, Ew Emo. Aiden are actually pretty good live, and they had a very emo Wall of Death. Funny story there, because the Wall of Death forced all the emo kids to move I sort of accidentally found myself right in front of the stage, squishing all the little emo girls with their cameras. And I shook Will Francis' hand! (sw)
It's difficult to say what the best gig was. Metallica, MSI (both times, even though the second time Lyn-Z wasn't there because she's pregnant), Finntrol (They recorded a DVD, so it was an extra long show!), Peaches, Arch Enemy, I think. And the Mighty Boosh, obviously.

This year, some pretty good stuff is coming up too. In August I'm very likely going to Pukkelpop, in Belgium (it's like, 40 minutes with the bus from where I live) where the Arctic Monkeys will be, and some other nice acts too (Simian Mobile Disco, Opeth, Faith No More, NERD, Tocadisco, Enter Shikari and (haha) 50 Cent). And, most importantly, Rammstein will do a big stadium show December 6th. After more than 4 years, the moment is finally (almost) there! 😀 😀

 

[Revolver]

Iowa is not a big destination for musicians so I haven't been to many shows. There've been a couple really good ones though. I've seen:

Modest Mouse
Built to Spill
Jeff Tweedy
A Perfect Circle
Guided By Voices
Atmosphere

That might be the only noteworthy ones I've seen.....

 

[randiann]

Haven't been to too many, but the few I've been to have been awesome!

Aerosmith-first concert ever at age 10! And it was awesome!
NSYNC-what can I say, it was a good show at least!
Blink 182-Way cool because we got to stand up on the sound stage instead of being squished on the floor
Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth-Sammy is so much better!
Prince-Musicology tour, Amazing!

Those are all the big ones...

 

[Summers Blood]

I've not been to many gigs.

Saw Mel C and Daniel Bedingfield years ago when they came to Hull.

Gig I'm going to this year is LILY ALLEN! I can't wait.... seems ages away....

 

[Flannen]

I've seen:
Muse
Faithless
Dido
Feeder
Avril Lavigne (had to go, felt sick after one song and sat upstairs all night. Wasn't that bothered 😛)
Bryan Adams (It was actually awesome!)
Streetlight Manifesto
Reel Big Fish
Green Day

As of yet, I don't have any gigs lined up, apart from local ones at home....

BUT if I do not get to see Bon Jovi, I will cry and declare my life as over!

 

[Washburne]

Haven't been too many "big" gigs for many reasons so the only thing I can mention is that I've seen Metallica twice.

 

[Bluebird]

I went to a lot of really big gigs, when I was like 4 or 5 since my dad was a sound guy for bands. I was backstage at T In The Park when Rage Against The Machine were there. (sw) So there's probably a lot of big ones I've been to without knowing. First gig I went to was The Beastie Boys when I was 13. 😀 The ones I can remember right now...

Beastie Boys
Feeder (2 times)
Electric Six (3 times)
Blur
Gary Numan
Hugh Cornwell
KT Tunstell (It was at a festival, I'm not a fan 😛)
Alabama 3
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Queens Of The Stone Age
The Distillers
PJ Harvey
Foo Fighters (brilliant!)

 

[definition of insane]

Damn...now I can't remember! Kidding 😉

BDO 06 - Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes, Iggy and the Stooges, Kings of Leon, Wolfmother, The Living End, Mudvayne, Faker and Magic Dirt

BDO 07 - Tool, Muse, Jet, The Violent Femmes, The Killers, John Butler Trio, Eskimo Joe, Evermore, Somthing for Kate, MCR, The Butterfly Effect, Little Birdy

Splendour in the Grass - Scissor Sisters, Death Cab for Cutie, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wolfmother, Youth Group, Clare Bowditch and the Feeding Set, Grinspoon, TV on the Radio, Mogwai, The Vines, The Grates


I love me a good festival...Plans for BDO2010! 😀

 

[November]

I love the festivals too. Summer just gone was my quietest yet! So Im a bit deprived of gig goodness. There is no way that I can remember all the bands I have seen and also I cant be bothered but there are a few that I love and would probably punch someone in the face to see again.

Grinspoon are ALWAYS a good show, I have lost count of how many times I have seen them but I am NEVER dissapointed. PNAU are fantastic, I have seen them 3 or more times, last time we treked down to Collie for the One Night Stand pretty much just to see them. Eskimo Joe is a band I kinda grew up with, I think they were one of the first that I saw live so it brings back memories seeing them (again I have lost count). Frenzal Rhomb are good for a laugh, I havent seen them in a few years but. Gyroscope are great but I think I would love them still if they sang three blind mice. Hmm John Butler Trio, Little Birdy, Powderfinger, Jebediah, Silverchair, Magic Dirt, Downsyde and Wolfmother were all good too. I think the biggest international band I have seen in Metallica at BDO. The only time I see the international ones are at festivals like BDO or Rockit (Im yet to get to Southbound). If Im guna spend a heap of money on tickets, I wana see a few good bands!

Also, I just listed the bands I've seen because a couple of them were festival-type-things [like LP, Korn, and Snoop Dogg were on Projekt Revolution] and stuff.
