Who have you seen?

[Tron_fdc]

hmmm I can't even REMEMBER half the shows I've been to...

Dire Straits
INXS
Metallica
The Cult
Tragically Hip
Ziggy Marley
SNFU
AFI
Bad Religion x 5
Strung Out
Obie Trice
Black Eyed Peas
Offspring
Mix Master Mike
Cadillac Tramps
Ministry
Rancid
NOFX
Beyond Possession

I know there are more, but I just can't think of them right now!! I've seen a ton of bands at Roadside Attraction, Infest, Highwood, Warped Tour, Australia's Big Day Out and the Jazz and Blues festival, but a lot of the names escape me right now.

By far the best band I've ever seen live is Bad Religion. I saw SNFU open for them when I was in Brisbane a few years back.....best show I've ever seen. Other Highlights:

• Seeing the Offspring in a bar with a cpacity of about 500 people, in Australia, during the summer. Holy crap was it ever hot....
• Meeting Greg Graffin and Ben Harper on the street in Oz.
• seeing Ministry last year after waiting what seems like a lifetime for them to come

Holy crap I forgot to add that I saw the Beastie Boys. Although I can see myself forettting that one.....I woke up underneath my car when the show was over.

Like most of the older people on here, I forget more concerts than I can remember. Seeing some of the names on other lists bring back memories.

Oh, and Fotze, I still have my ten speed with the reversed handle bars.

Motley Crue
Def Leppard
Tragically Hip
Brooks and Dunn
Dixie Chicks
Guns n Roses
Foo Fighters

Surprisingly, Dixie Chicks was a pretty good concert. Brooks and Dunn not so much.

RedMan did you see SlipKnot at the Corral back in January of '05?? When all the fans in the seats rushed down to the floor following the advice of lead singer Corey Taylor?? Man what a show that was!!

[White Doors]

I've seen a few, but truthfully, I like listening to them on my denon at home better.

Laugh. I didn't know I was a headbanger but after reading this I think I must have been or still might be.

I went to all the big rocker shows in the 90s. Metallica, Van Hagar, AC/DC, Megadeth, Skid Row (Teresa Roncon was in the concourse and every headbanger in the building had a boner, also Doug Flutie did a stage dive), G'n'F'n'R. Yeesh.

[Dodsdomd]

I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm guessing I've seen at least 500-600 different bands. Should try and write them all down someday.

[Abstract]

Ok, cant resist asking any more, who the hell are tragically hip and is it a legal requirement there to have seen them at least 3 times?

Yes, it is a legal requirement. It's in the constitution. No jokes, I don't even like them and I've seen them six times.

Speaking of, did anyone else see Midnight Oil at the "Roadside Attraction" back in the mid 90's? That was a good one.

This is not a joke. My wife finished up a six month work stint in Eastern Europe, and we went and saw them the night she landed. And yes, they kinda sucked that time too...

(and no, you may not ask why I wasn't busy with other endeavors, the concert was a part of the whole homecoming package, OK?)

Look up at my list

I saw that show at the Markham Fairgrounds north of TO. There was a van of about 12 of us went. I can't recall who else was there, but Midnight Oil was great.

After the concert, it was about 12:30 the van we were in broke down near Jane & Finch in TO. We had to catch a cab to Mississauga, then I drove home to London. I beat the sunrise (barely).

Although I can't recall a lot of the bands I saw. I keep reading everyone else's list and think, "Hey yeah, I forgot about them..."

I would have loved to have seen that show. Of course back then I was only about 5 and wasnt introduced to Metallica until just before The Black Album came out.
