The guess who I just saw thread - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Seer666 · 11-17-2007, 03:43 AM

I think it's about time to have a thread where we get to gloat to the others about the concerts we have just seen, or will soon be seeing. To start it off, I just got back from seeing Bad Religion. Kick ass show. It's good to see that old guys can still rock hard.

Cynthetiq · 11-17-2007, 05:33 AM

last weekend in Chicabo...ladies and gentlemen.... the Two Johns.... otherwise known as They Might Be Giants....

divagrrrl · 11-17-2007, 10:41 AM

Saw Nightwish in Santa Ana, hung out with their manager during the show, and got to meet the band afterward. They were awesome!

spectre · 11-17-2007, 10:55 AM

I have tickets to Rob Zombie and Ozzy in a few weeks, it's gonna be sweet.

Punk.of.Ages · 11-17-2007, 12:04 PM

I'm seeing Flogging Molly on December 7. That should be an awesome show.

Grasshopper Green · 11-17-2007, 06:14 PM

We saw Jimmy Buffett a couple of weeks ago. I'm not a huge Buffett fan, but it was incredibly fun.

ShaniFaye · 11-24-2007, 12:40 PM

Last nite I had the great privilege of seeing and acoustic set with Jack Blades (from Night Ranger) and Tommy Shaw (from Styx) (and they were both in Damn Yankees with Ted Nugent). Dave's best friend is the manager at Wild Bill's (yeah its a country place but they get in shows that arent, other wise I wouldnt set foot in there lol) and he called us to tell us we had tickets waiting at the door for it.

It was MOST wonderful, and funnnnny, lord they were funny. They had acquired pictures of each other from the 80's and had them blown to make fun of each other.

They were on stage for about 2 hours, it was great...I actually had a good time lol Kansas is playing there in a few weeks so Im going back for that, then Styx is coming back in January and has already said i WILL be there for that one lol I told him yeah as long as its not the night of the Manilow concert...which prompted a discussion on how jealous he and the other friend that works there, was that I got such good seats for that show lol

Derwood · 11-25-2007, 03:55 PM

in December:

Illinois
Dark Star Orchestra
Blind Boys of Alabama
Glen Miller Orchestra

Lak · 12-08-2007, 04:09 AM

Just saw Muse. It was insanity. I thought I was gonna pass out by the second song, I had to beg random moshers for thoroughly warm bottled water, there was no escape from the crowd. After the gig I staggered a hundred meters to the nearest mart, purchased 700mL water and a large bottle of powerade, and immediately drank all of both. It was a good night.

ritzy · 12-09-2007, 11:42 AM

saw bowling for soup and the bloodhound gang in october, it was one wicked gig and have booked tickets to see 30 seconds to mars in 2 weeks and my biggie concert of next year will be bon jovi in june

roachboy · 12-09-2007, 11:49 AM

balkan beat box. they were fun. that's all i can say about them.

cheb i sabbah, on the other hand, spinning a set of bhangra shot through with north african pop and dubstep in club that was built around the sound system--well, that i can't talk about because i dont really remember all that much beyond dancing like a fool for 3 hours, feeling like i was being pulled along by the selector, continually surprised, finding myself surfing polyrhythms...

and that, comrades, is a fine thing.

it's also a glimpse, for what it's worth, of why i find music in 4 that stays in 4 to be in the main boring. it's like a hollywood film that is made by someone who imagines you are too stupid to react for yourself, so you have to be pushed around.

but no matter, i suppose.
i prefer feeling like no matter, even as i am dancing.

Just got back from seeing Tool for the first time.

Wow. I am sitting here, just blown away. They put on one hell of a show.

Plan9 · 12-11-2007, 03:32 AM

Saw Cake at DAR Constitution Hall last night. Kickass show.

Frosstbyte · 12-11-2007, 04:27 PM

Seeing Tool myself tonight! Going with a group of 40 (yes you read that correctly) people, so we should be able to more than hold our own against the tides of general admission. It's my second time going to a Tool concert and last time I was in the nosebleeds. I am really excited to be up close and personal this time around.

Just got back from the show and it was amazing. It was at an arena and at one point, Rob jumps off stage and does a lap through the crowd with a flashlight that he shined on damned near every person there. Rob was just awesome. And Ozzy was as great as ever with Zakk going crazy on guitar.

Sue · 12-16-2007, 10:03 PM

I saw Seven Nations at the Highlands Games here in CO, but it was back in September

Manic_Skafe · 12-17-2007, 09:22 PM

The Dillinger Escape Plan - "Sunshine The Werewolf"

Easily, one of the best sets I've seen all year.

coyote · 12-19-2007, 08:15 PM

We saw the Trans Siberian Orchestra the other night. This was the first time I had seen them, and what an awesome show.

Seer666 · 05-18-2008, 12:08 AM

Well, just saw Metalica, Scars Over Broadway, Flowbots, and Apociliptica Friday night. Flowbots pretty much sucked. I swear their lead singer was cloned from the sweat off Emiem's left testicle. Scars was ok. All their songs sound pretty much the same. And they sound to crisp and clean live. I kept expecting someone to kick the CD player. Apociliptica was fucking amazing. Those fuckers know how to blow the roof off a place. And Metalica, well, it was everything I hoped it could be. 5 ancores. Fucking awesome.

SSJTWIZTA · 05-18-2008, 10:53 PM

past year:
Angry Samoans
Youth Brigade
Ch. 3
The Saints
battalion of Saints
Jay Retard
