Who loves concerts?

Besides playing video games and the dreaded school, I have the glorious opportunity to go to a few free concerts.

One of which was today.

Panic!'s Honda Civic Tour.

Pretty Sweet.

The Hush Sound signed my Crossword Converse.

They had fun filling in the squares. ;D

Concerts anyone?
Favs? Least favs?

It's hard for me to go to concerts because most of the bands I like are in their 50's and such.

On a bright note, I got to see Rush in Concert.

Epic...

All my favourite bands are either in Europe, or wouldn't think of coming here. They all go to Corpus, which is a 30 minute drive away. >_> and cost an arm and a leg to go to.

oh, and listening to Metallica or Ozzy live = no. >: Ozzy just killed his voice, and Metallica just.. doesn't sound as good. XD

I'm not really a big fan of giant gobs of people and loud noises, so together...

I dont get to go that much because the nerest place to me where gigs are regular is London, which is like one hour and a half by train.
But I have been to Glastonbury, a 3-4 day festival a good 3 or four hours away from where I live but I stayed in a caravan on site and loved it.
It's Britains biggest music festival and tickets are a good £80-£100 (I got in free because of my age). It was awesome.
I've also been to WOMAD but that was more of a cultural festival, lots of african drumming.

I live about 10 minutes away from a House of Blues, and my friend's mom works there.

Sweet deal.

I've only been to one real concert: My Chemical Romance. Under Oath, Rise Against, and Taking Back Sunday opened for them. It was totally awesome. However, I'm not totally if Under Oath was actually there, or if we just missed them because we didn't get into the building in time. (That was one long line...) To my knowledge, it's the only major band that has ever come to Reno! Hooray for living in a boring city!
What, you expect me to say something witty?

DarkZelda

Eh.

I live in South Carolina.

Go figure. Tourist City man.

And we've had quite a few major bands, such as FallOutBoy, Panic!, Evanescence, Nickleback, Reel Big Fish, etc.

I live in a tourist town... unfortunately, the only tourists we get are old people and people who like beaches filled with garbage.

Seriously, I don't know why they haven't noticed that everything left in the streets gets dumped in the bay. >_>

So, old people don't like loud things. Or children on their lawn. Therefore, we don't really get concerts.

Commodore Axilon

I got to see Jimmy Page live once.

I was like ten years old at the time, but still pretty awesome, right?

OMG - I would LOVE to live in a place where I could go to a concert! I live pretty much in the boonies. LOL Full 45 minutes to the nearest Wal-mart... one hall-way in my school (K-12 by the way).

If I could, I would definately be going to a Three Days Grace concert.  ;D Amazing...

So I just got home from seeing Panic At The Disco in concert. It was pretty awesome. I stood in the front (right next to the speakers!) all through the opening acts, who were all pretty good, but since they played for a long time, I got too tired to stand for very long while Panic was actually playing, so I had to sit down again. I did make it through their first couple of songs, though, and I got to see all of them much better from where I was sitting. Then I went back down for the last song. It was great concert.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, someone Rickroll'd everyone there. There was a big screen on the stage that would display your text messages if you sent them to a certain number, so someone texted the lyrics to "Never Gonna Give You Up." It was pretty funny.

You know what somebody should have texted?

That is amazing.
When I went, a few people asked for someone to marry them. And as a joke someone replied "No."

Everyone got Rickroll'd at the concert? That's freaking fantastic. XD

I wonder if there's a YouTube video of it up? I would certainly like to see that part.
