last show you seen (reviews etc)

[Sasha]

Since i work at an big but still most of the time alternative programming concert venue i see (both professional and because i get free entrance when i'm off) a lot of shows, next to this i have an squat bar in my house and volunteer at diffrent (legalized) squat concert/bar spaces.
And sometimes i see realy good or realy crap shows that i want to share with others. And i asume others see intresting (both positive and negative) stuff aswell.
So hence this thread to leave both your 2 page lyrical story of awe and your oneliner "band X was shit" post.

[Sasha]

Tonight the Agrolites (http://www.myspace.com/theaggrolites) where playing my work, i was off so i could enjoy their tight as fuck "dirty reggae" with an cuba libre and an spliff.
Sadly there was an poor atendance (compared to earlyer show i seen by them) but the band gave it all they had and then some more.
There wasnt a support act wich was also a shame but the band played a full good set with both old and new material. Dont know if this will sound as an orientalist insult but this LA band sounds almost japanese when it comes to their musical perfection wile still having that 4real ghetto vibe.

so that is an positive; now to an negative review

[Sasha]

yesterday and the day before i had to work paul weller (http://www.paulweller.com/), while i'm quite an mod at times and always loved the Jam his solo stuff never apealed to me. Wich should leave his amazing muscial skills to enjoy.
Not this time, the sound was poor and the crowd had an horrible attitude so the night couldnt finish fast enough for me.

thank god when it did the bar at my house was still open and my mates Vurdalak (http://www.myspace.com/thevurdalakshow) where still playing an acoustic set. They saved the day (and the night, and the morning, if i get home in an bit i wouldnt be suprised if they are still on the couches in the bar sleeping of their hangover :lol:)

[Pirate Utopian]

Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip yesterday, it was awesome.

It was at this festival and we had access to other bands as well, we saw a few but they all sucked apart from DLS V. SP, apart from this rapper we saw the last 2 songs of before them.

[x371322]

I've not been to a concert in a while. The last one was Nine Inch Nails, the lights in the sky tour. BUT I'm going this Tuesday to catch Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper on their Gruesome Twosome Tour. Can't wait. :cool:

So them a few years back, was an awesome show, probably had more energy and crowd participation than 99% of hardcore shows.

[Jimmie Higgins]

Negative: I saw The Black Lips and Nobunny at the Independent in San Francisco... I love Nobunny, but both bands were kinda low-energy that night (I think it was a Tuesday). The mosh-pit took up about 1/2 the space and had lots of energy though. I think this medium-sized venue was too big for Nobunny, so I'm only seeing him in tiny Oakland venues or Gilman Street from now on.

Mixed: Mos Def and Eyrkah Badu at the Fox in Oakland. Mos was terrible and disappointing - Badu was amazing.

Positive: A few weeks earlier I saw Thee Oh Sees, Ganglians, and Ty Segall at the Eagle Tavern. It's a tiny bar so at one point I found myself caught between two bar-stools in the mosh-pit. There were a lot of aloof San Francisco hipsters there, but when the music started and everyone ended up in a giant mosh pit, all the pretensions and hip-aloofness was dropped because it's a hard act to keep up when members of both sexes are constantly and unintentionally grinding with no distinction based on sexual preferences. It's also a bear bar, so I guess if I had to accidentally be shoved and pushed into the crotches of strange men and women, what better location:lol:.

Here's a decent review of that show. (http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2010/01/last_night_thee_oh_sees_mayyor.php?page=1)

Soon I will be seeing the first reunion concert of a band I liked (and was alive for) the first time around: Pavement. I now feel old because I am excited about a reunion show after spending so much time and energy in the past mocking reunions of 60s, 70s, and 80s bands.

[Foldered]

Haven't gone to a decent show in a while, but I'm going to Sasquatch! festival and couldn't be more excited; I'll post reviews when I get back.

I saw Blue Öyster Cult in Pittsburgh in the summer of 2008. Haven't been to any concerts since, I had to miss UFO last fall because I was sick. BÖC were, as usual, excellent.

[NGNM85]

The last show I saw was Public Image Limited. They were AMAZING! If there are remainibg tour dates in your area, I HIGHLY recommend it. They were in top form and sounded great, they played a substantial slice of PiL's catalogue, plus a few numbers from John's solo album; "Psycho's Path." A few of the songs, like "Warrior" and "Love Song" actually sounded better than ever. They've still got it.

I envy you so much right now, haha.

[Buffalo Souljah]

The last 'Concert-with-a-big-C' (ie., not a house band or bar music) that I saw was Willie Nelson in Montgomery, Alabama. I was honestly dissapointed in the performance, for several reasons:

1) The venue was very 'upscale' (The MPAC), something that conflicts with Willie's style and repertoire. For instance, I couldn't see Robert Johnson performing "Dust my Broom Blues" on stage at the Metropolitan Opera.

2) Balcony seating was cruddy. I suppose this relates to the first point, but nonetheless, it detracts from the experience of "being-at-the-concert", so it didn't help.

3) Willie seemed tired. I know he's getting up there in years, but if he's too old to perform, stay at home!

On the flip side, Willie's son, Lucas Nelson, rocked the house as the opening act, and later upstaged his dad when they played a duo. hHis kid is an awesome electric blues musician, in the likes of Muddy Waters, BB King and Howlin' Wolf!

Here's a vid of him playing Robert Johnson's "The Awakening" at a music fest in 2009:

[Axle]

Last show I saw was Gigantour 2008.

High on Fire - Alright opener, probably the weakest stage show on the ticket, though
Job for a Cowboy - This was the first time I'd ever heard them and I was pretty unimpressed to say the least.
Children of Bodom - I was dying to see this band play, and they were phenomenal.
In Flames - I remember being ok with this band, but all in all, I don't remember much of their set.
Megadeth - In-fucking-credible.

[NGNM85]

I envy you so much right now, haha.

Here are some new live clips from their official site, the sound and video quality are excellent.

Bonobo was awesome @ the rescue rooms

Had a full live band and amazing vocals from Andreya Triana

Got the set list at the end of the show too :thumbup1:

Hey I saw that too, I liked In Flames better than Megadeth there though, the rest of the band reviews seem accurate to me too :thumbup1:

Last major show I saw was Children of Bodom, Skeletonwitch, Black Dahlia Murder
I mainly went there to see CoB, but Skeletonwitch blew my mind. Skeletonwitch were such a surprise of the night with stage presence and set list (not that I really knew many of thier songs before hand). CoB had a ballin set list as always. I didn't like Black Dahlia to the extent I like CoB, but they were still enjoyable.

.

I saw Paul McCartney last night. He was the opening of the new Consol Arena in Pittsburgh, and although he was awesome the other two times I've seen him (in Tampa and DC), he was absolutely transcendent last night and played for 2 hours and 45 minutes. The ultimate rock concert.
The new venue, though (where the Penguins hockey team will play), is nothing to write home about, despite all the local hype.

Been a while ago, but the last thing I've been to is the New Noise Festival. It's an annual, local, free Open-Air, featuring a bunch of Hardcore, Screamo, etc, artists, some Singer-Songwriter and Electronical stuff, screenings of the Edge documentation this year, Soccer World Cup screenings (this year), a bunch of posts with Records, and info on animal rights, straight edge and veganism. It also had some Skate contest. There were a bunch of bands playing, I saw Sailing On, La Dispute, Ritual, Celeste, Kaishakunin and Comadre. Looking back, I regret not seeing Ende/Aus, Punch and Glasses. Well anyway, it's an awesome festival : )

Some impressions (pictures not by me):

The reason I went there was because I absolutely love La Dispute. It was their last show in Europe. Apparently, from what I gathered from others at the festival, it was also one of the worst shows they did at the Euro tour. But then again, they had a shitty time slot, way too little time, didn't really much fit in with the other bands anyway and Comadre blew me away regardless, so it's all good!

It's been a few years, since I had been to any concerts, but in the summer of 2004 "Chicago" & "Earth, Wind", and Fire" did an amazing show in Cincinnati. There was an excellent DVD filmed from that tour. The video, that I have posted is not from the Cincinnati show, but it is from that tour.

I saw "Kiss" put on an excellent show, around the same time. However, I did and still do miss Ace Frehley & Peter Criss.

[The Douche]

Saw ceremony like last month, was awesome, venue was unbearably hot and packed from wall to wall/front to back, everybody was soaked with sweat. Many heads were walked on.

[Inciting.Riots]

Last show I went to was Lamb of God, Hatebreed and 3 Inches of Blood. I don't care for 3IoB but I absolutely love LoG and Hatebreed. The pit was pretty brutal and I ended up having to punch some guy in the armpit and give him a dead-arm because he kept intentionally elbowing people in the face. Being that I am a former employee of the venue and production crew I got to hangout back stage.

As a special treat I got to see my friends' band, The Athiarchists, play outside the venue after the show in a Uhaul they converted into a mobile stage; complete with roll up door, generator, fog machines and lights. After that show they left to follow around the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, playing the parking lot, without permission, and were officially added to the tour due to their tenacity.

If you are interested check out their site @ (theathiarchists).com Obviously, without the parenthesis.

They are a two-piece thrash metal band from Eugene, Oregon and I absolutely love them. Maybe some of you will too.

Sorry for circumventing the rule about no links until after 25 posts but I assure you that it is not my intention to spam the board with links, I have more respect than that.

[brigadista]

last night !!
last poets and tongues of fire together with a show of emory douglas art- was great

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oud_zO1mpJQ

[Stand Your Ground]

Went to the Rockstar Mayhem tour this summer.

Norma Jean - Performed good, but not my cup of tea.
Shadows Fall - Good.
Hatebreed - Garbage.
Rob Zombie - Good but sounded old & tired.
Korn - Rocked!
Chimaira - Very good.
Lamb Of God - Shit.

I missed: In This Moment (FUCKING PISSED) & Five Finger Death Punch.

Last show i went to was, as most of you probably know by now, of montreal. It was an absolutely amazing show. Absolutely amazing. I'm definitely going to go see them again next time they come down.

[Il Medico]

Went to the 97 X Freebie Weebie yesterday. There were three bands playing. The first was some local band, they were alright. The Second band that played was AWOLNATION, they put on quite a good show, and then the Paper Tongues were the last ones to play. I wasn't all to impressed, so me and my group left about a third through their set to go get some Gelato.

[the last donut of the night]

saw a local hardcore straight edge band

[JavierSil]

I saw Simple Red at The O2 arena on December 2010.
The band played their final farewell shows.

[Sasha]

I'm going to see whitechappel and impending doom tonight.
Even when I don't really know their records I'm very looking forward to it, it had been a while since I been in a good moshpit.
Time to get brutal.

[Sasha]

Saw QOTSA (Queens of the stone age) last night performing their first album integral.
Am I wrong to say that they are not only one of the best rockbands at the moment but even pretty high on the all time list? I mean seriously up there with Floyd, the stones and led zepelin?

[Sam_b]

Pretty bold claim Psycho, pretty bold claim.

[Fawkes]

Saw Man Man and Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers last night at music hall of williamsburg. Fucking awesome show. I had never heard Shilpa Ray, but they were absolutely amazing, particularly Shilpa herself. She's plays harmonium and was just going absolutely crazy on vocals. You can always immediately tell a trained vocalist from an untrained one when it comes to screaming, and Shilpa definitely falls into the latter category, but it didn't matter, she was amazing.

Man Man was fucking sweet as could be expected. They've got such an elaborate stage setup, it must be kind of annoying touring like that, but it definitely is worth it. There was a small TV on stage that played a video the entire time of just some confused guy's face as a slow trail of blood went from his nose through his mustache into his mouth. The whole band is incredibly talented and their eclecticism makes for such a great performance.

A lot of people say they're a Tom Waits ripoff and in a lot of way I got to agree, though I'd stop short of saying ripoff. Either way, they're good enough that they are still a great band in their own right despite the similarities. The crowd was awesome but it started getting a little lame toward the end. A huge circle opened up in the center and any of the few people that ventured into it would get drilled from the side or behind by a couple drunk guys spread around the edge just waiting for some aggro. I mean, I'm cool with really brutal pits, but Man Man's the type of shit I just want to dance and have fun to, not worry about getting my ribs cracked from behind. The aggression of the pit didn't really match the music at all, but either way, sick show, definitely check both bands out if you get a chance.

[Coyote]

The last one I went to was Mayhem 2010. It was pretty amazing. I'm hoping to see Rise Against this summer.

[Fawkes]

Just got back from Starscape, fucking awesome. Bassnectar's set was epic as was expected. Zeds Dead was sick, though I liked em better when I saw them at webster hall a month ago. Diesel Boy and Dirtyphonics were awesome. I really wanted to see Steve Aoki, especially given the fact that a ticket for one of his shows would normally cost more than a ticket for all of Starscape, but I forgot what time it was and was seeing Dirtyphonics. DJ Who did a sick set also. Datsik had a really good set too. Missed out on Skrillex and Borgore cause I was seeing Bassnectar, probably would've been way too crowded anyway. Flux was pretty awesome and I just managed to catch the end of Doctor P. Doctor P's was so epic because, for the last song, he told the audience that he wanted to see every glow stick in the air and as soon as the bass dropped, it looked like a fucking eruption of hundreds of different colored glow stick 30 feet in the air. Awesome. Pissed I missed out on Infected Mushroom. Saw part of Lotus, pretty unimpressive though -- I mean, they're good to listen to if you wanna chill out, but that's the opposite of what I wanna do at a rave.

[Sam_b]

Going to Trash Talk tomorrow night, going to CAUSE IT. GHC REPRESENT

[Johnny Kerosene]

I saw a Lady Gaga show back in April. (yeah yeah)
Fucking awesome. Flaming pianos, release of inhibitions, flaming statues, everyone being told to pull out their cocks, jumping around in club and almost falling over the railing. I hadn't had that much fun in a long time.

[Sasha]

wu tang tonight at my work...
first time i saw an reasonable amount of them together...
they started 1,5 hour late which was annoying as fuck but to be expected...
smoked some oldschool skunk and got wasted, show was pretty good. i mean, they are clearly not on top of the game anymore but since this was my first proper wu-tang show i wasnt disappointed.
although i must say i wouldnt have had paid 40 euro's for it and without MethodMan it would have sucked big time, he carried that show completely.
so i cant wait for the method&redman show coming july, that is going to bring the roof down...

[Ballyfornia]

Going to Maximum the Hormone(japanese band) in Islington should be a good mosh

[Mettalian]

Last I went to was Evile, Bonded by Blood, Joe Thrasher, Gama Bomb and Aggressor at Mavericks in Ottawa. I'm gonna go to Heavy MTL in July, Opeth, Gorguts, Morbid Angel, Annihilator... the list goes on. Some shitty bands too, like Billy Talent and Disturbed, but if sitting through that means seeing Opeth, I'm fine with it.

[the fencing revolutionary]

saw dead prez 2 saturdays ago.... unexplainably amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:D they are very revolutionary inspiring!

[Sasha]

Wow, on this moment working at some gig by a band called "blue october", must be the single most shit band I have ever seen, no redeeming thing to be found, even the public need to be summarily executed.

[Sasha]

Saw 2 shows this weekend, first "the Agrolites", like always a awesome party, I never saw the guys give a half arsed show no matter where the venue is filled or not, if you like funky dirty skinhead reggae you will never be disappointed..

But it was drum and bass act "chase and status" that really brought the roof down tonight, venue was sold out for weeks and man did they deliver... most insane mosh pit, more intense than most punk or metal shows and 1500 peeps going absolutely ape shit.
Still weird to be one of the oldest people in the room at a d&b party, Seems that between Chase & status, pendulum and the dubstep hype the genre managed to completely rejuvinate it self.

[Sam_b]

Gonna see Death Cab tonight. No need for a review as it'll be great.

[Il Medico]

Saw four bands last night, Feral Babies (hard-core), the Caffiends (hard-core), and Knock-out (ska punk), with the Queers headlining. They we're all great but Knock-out and the Queers easily stole the show.

Got to meet Joe Queer too. He's a pretty cool guy.

The Queers:
uEO9rikCRbo
Knock-Out
w8lhmQ61Dkk

[Sasha]

Saw Arch Enemy yesterday, I was admittedly stoned out of my arse but it was awesomly hypnotic and brutal, easily the best produced and skilled openly leftist (metal) band out there at moment.
It was fucking epic.
If they where a bit more accessible they could probably be the next RATM but in a musical sense I'm glad they are not.

[Art Vandelay]

Last show I saw was slightly stoopid which was pretty sick. They put on a great show plus threw out weed, pipes and joints to the crows while smoking on stage:cool:

[#FF0000]

Last show I saw was Boris in October. I was underwhelmed but mostly because of the venue itself and the crowd. Also, Boris played some of their stuff off of New Album which is great, but isn't as great live.

Liturgy and Asobi Seksu opened for them. I hadn't heard of Liturgy beforehand but they were great, though it took a little while for me to take a liking to them. Asobi Seksu actually blew me away, though, which surprised me because I wasn't all that into them when I listened to them at first.

[Lolumad273]

Last show I saw was Immolation. They were headlining with some not-so-good death metal bands. It was a really good show, except the crowd was small.

[Sasha]

Last few songs of "the Slackers' as we speak, chill laidback ska reggae as always. Will be a good time at my work with rancid, cocksparrer, victimsfamily, infariot, menace, nofx, promo, fear factory, methodman, phillip glass and many more coming up....

[Sasha]

immortal technique yesterday was sweet too, fuck you haters

[gorillafuck]

Last show I saw was Boris in October.I'm wicked jealous of this!

last show I saw was Urban Waste, I think.

[Sasha]

pretty wasted and chanced in on "apparat band" playing the big hall, pretty nice & trippy i must say...
let's see how long before I give up on the dubstep party that's now starting, not really in the vibe no more.

[#FF0000]

I'm wicked jealous of this!

That's the second time I saw them. The first time was at the Starland Ballroom the August one year prior. Room was so packed that one person moving meant everyone was moving. Last song of the set was the untitled track from Smile and it was the most insane thing I'd ever experienced. I remember looking around and realizing that everyone's hair was being blown back by the amplifiers.

And then Atsuo stage dove on top of me.

[Ostrinski]

I saw the Pixies when they came to Louisville a couple months ago, pretty rad

[Ostrinski]

Saw Built to Spill with a few unknowns last week in Louisville, they kicked ass. I love BtS.

[leftistman]

I went to a house concert at my friend's place last night and saw these two folk singers. I forget their names :laugh:. Today, I was going to see my old guitar teacher's band but was feeling tired and wasn't up to it.

[human strike]

Star Fucking Hipsters. Was pretty wild. Excessive stage diving.

[thriller]

Star Fucking Hipsters. Was pretty wild. Excessive stage diving.

Shit son! Where at (if you don't mind my asking)? Still havnt seen SFH, although I did catch LöC back in 08.

Last show I was at was Lawrence Arms in DeKalb, Il back in January. Small ass club, but was very fun. The pit was at optimal energy levels. Opened and closed with high energy, dual vocal songs which is great because it doesn't leave any element or member of the band out of the loop. I will be seeing them in November hopefully. I'm dying to go to a punk show. Lots of rage I need to let out in the pit.

[thriller]

immortal technique yesterday was sweet too, fuck you haters

Was it a decent show? I saw him in 07 in Cali. He was great live but EVERY FUCKING SONG was from Vol. 2 which pissed me off to no end. I think he's great, but add some fucking variety for christs sake.

[human strike]

Shit son! Where at (if you don't mind my asking)? Still havnt seen SFH, although I did catch LöC back in 08.

The Croft, Bristol.

It's all about The Coup on Saturday atm. :cool:

[Niall]

Terror on the 25th of October in Manchester. Amazing gig, great crowd and a great set from Scott and the lads

[#FF0000]

saw death grips.

the crush at the front was beat. ended up pinned against the stage. asked a friend how he was holding up and was like 'yo we should get out of here i can't breathe" so i threw elbows and got out. guy who drove us there was missing and presumed dead until we found him after the show. mc ride stepped on my hand and glasses

10/10 among the top three shows of my life

[momo]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor, my 2nd time.
Didn't listen to the new album yet but Mladic live = :tt1:

i am so jealous

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Anyone see Cloud Atlas yet?

[Anarchocommunaltoad]

Quartermass part 1.

The show has vindicated my statement that Avantist sex orgies will surely fall in the face of alien aggression.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

Went to my first death metal show last night in Modesto. Small venue but there were ten bands that played, most were local. I thoroughly enjoyed about 7 of them. First time in a mosh pit, got pushed in and immediately punched in the face. Was fucking AWESOME! Incisus, Hard of Heart, Symbolik, and Wrath of Vesuveus were my favs. So tired now though, can barely walk around without legs cramping up and shit, totally worth it though.

[human strike]

Saw Conflict a little while ago. Jaya the Cat more recently. Both were good, but Conflict was obviously better because it was fuckin' Conflict!

[kalpona]

Speaking of crappy show. i currently live in Sri Lanka. HIkkaduwa. They have these crappy DJs everyday on the beach

[A Revolutionary Tool]

Was at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento last night. Can't remember a lot of names but Incisus and Kingdom of Giants fucking destroyed the place. Also was a lead vocalist there that had an Afro which I thought was different, never seen one of those at a metal show before, they were alright though. There were a lot of kids there(like highschoolers)so I had to go a little easy on 'em but altogether had a fun ass time. Broke my favorite pipe on the way back home though, super-pissed about that!

[MarxArchist]

Got dragged to a Fang show at the metro a few months back. Left and went to the bar. The whole murder thing bothered some of us.

[Yuppie Grinder]

In the following months I will be seeing Iceage, Mykki Blanco, Napalm Death, and Black Flag. Pretty stoked.

[#FF0000]

In the following months I will be seeing Iceage, Mykki Blanco, Napalm Death, and Black Flag. Pretty stoked.

ohhhh boy. i saw mykki blanco open for death grips (incredible) and i'm gonna see Iceage in the next few months as well (HYPE BEYOND HYPE)

[Rusty Shackleford]

Last show was quite some time ago. Some local thrash show. But, probably the best ive been to latele (i emphasize late) was on oct. 11th. Weedeater, Sourvein, and Saint Vitus.

Weedeater fucking killed it, no surprise.
Saint Vitus fucking killed it, surprise.

Sourvein was ite.

[Philo]

Saw Gojira with The Devin Townsend Project and Atlas Moth about a month ago. Excellent show, Gojira had an awesome setlist.

[Sasha]

Im gonna work a gojira show soon. Got good hopes for it.
Just came back from madball, terror, comeback kid and your demise show. Missed your demise, was very pleasantly suprised by comeback kid, way more punk and a lot less emo than I expected. Madball eas solid youth sentiment but terror was the best IMHO. Never listened to them back in the days I was mostly into hardcore but downloading their discography as we speak. Shit was very good....

whqat the fuck you were at ace of fucking spades? message me goddamnit!
if you are in sac we should grab a beer or some shit!

[Futility Personified]

A few ska punk bands a month ago. What stood out the most though was a group called 3versus4 which played Skints-esque reggae (although it was only skintesque because of the skints, otherwise it'd just be reaaaaal good reggae)

Before that it was Frank Turner for the 5th time. He has lost his appeal at this point.

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

Saw Frank Turner in November, was pretty hot. Saw him at a pretty small venue too, he tore it up. Really a solid artist now.

Saw Bruce Springsteen last summer. Just on another level. Best 3.5 hours (no breaks) of my life. 10/10.

[Jesus Saves Gretzky Scores]

On Friday I saw Bad Religion with the opening acts The Bronx and Polar Bear Club. Against Me! was supposed to play, but I think their drummer left. Polar Bear Club was meh, nothing special. The Bronx was pretty good, I was impressed by them.

And of course Bad Religion was amazing, they're one of my favorites. Unfortunately the mosh pits were waaaay to intense for me. I got knocked over, and my upper ass area was in so much pain. I had to limp out and sit for a while. Either way, it was so great.

[Crixus]

I just went to see an extremely obscure band that no one knows about yet which if I even name, instantly, I'll become so cool that my computer will explode as I type because it will electrify my skin and it may actually affect the earths rotation so I better just keep it to myself otherwise Fonzi's ghost will probably kill a kitten.

OK, it was a Steel Panther show. LOL

l couldn't figure out if it was an act or if these guys were 100% serious or if I got into a time machine and ended up on the LA strip in the 1980's. I hated, no, HATED glam rock in the 1980's but went to this show to laugh and laugh I did (at the band and at the people who were there because they though, seriously thought, it was still 1985 on the LA strip). We're talking washed up groupies, Deaf Leopard T-shirts and enough AquaNet to start a five alarm blaze if anyone lit up a cigarette.

It was a mostly kitchy environment which I think offended some rather die hard 80's hairband fans but all in all I'd go again because it reminded me of the whole punk/metal vs. hairband thing in the 80's. I relived my youth that night but don't remember much because as was the case in my youth I was extremely drunk. Go see them play. Laugh at them then laugh at yourself for fist pumping and headbanging along with the crowd.

[Onquaenthtonsul]

Haven't gone to a decent show in a while, but I'm going to Sasquatch! festival and couldn't be more excited; I'll post reviews when I get back.

[Sasha]

Waiting for the Coup to go on as we speak...

[Zukunftsmusik]

have seen two shows at the city's former squat house (I think they bought the house for 1 NOK or something, after years of struggle) lately. First I was at the release party for Haust's new album, "NO". The posters said it started at eight, but noone told us that "eight" meant "meet up at ten, first band plays ten thirty." So after waiting some long hours (with people from the band walking around which was cool), Bloodsuckers started playing. They're pretty new, but everyone in the band play in other more or less experienced bands. I've never seen them live before. They were good.

Then Haust started their set. They played through the whole new album from A to Z, which was a boring way to set up a concert, but hey. They were good, though, their new album is kick ass. They played too short, with only two old songs, one of them even in a bad version, but at least there was time for moshpits and the singer is always fun to watch.

It was cool to stand next to - and exchange sweat with - members of local bands that I listen a lot to. There was also this super-sketchy dude at the concert. He wore make up and had a blazer that almost looked like a cape. He looked like a parody of Dracula. He walkeda round with this weird smile and it seemed like he almost creeped up on people during the concert. He also danced creepily, although this was more of a bang-your-head-punk-concert.

Then some days later I saw a show with local band Dark Times and two bands off the NY hardcore scene, Nuclear Spring and Creem, of which I really like the latter (hadn't heard of Nuclear Spring before). This time we were late, though, missing Dark Time's set, which was a shame because I've only seen them once. We came in the middle of Nuclear Spring's set. They were okay, I didn't really feel it. Then Creem was on. They were really good. They also played too short, though, but I guess that's just punk. The audience yelled for more, but they just said "Encores are for Bruce Springsteen," and left the stage :lol:

[Sasha]

Damn, the classwar never sounded this funky before... That was good, the coup killed it, shame there where only 200 ppl or so...

[Sasha]

I'm going to see creem together with vitaminX and heros and zeros this Saturday btw...

[Sasha]

[...]

i fucking hated the steelpanther show when i worked it, dont get me wrong, sexism can be funny, no let me refrase that, making fun of sexism/sexists can be funny, but steelpanther was just minddumingly unfunny sexist shite.
i have a very, very short list of bands i refuse to work for (again) but steelpanther definitely made the list.

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

Saw Bruce Springsteen @ Coventry last Thursday. Queued up 3 hours before gates to get into the pit, but apparently the last of the 1,000+ people in front of us had been there for four hours by the time we got there. The queue started as early as Tuesday.

Fresh from that rejection, we managed to get to the front of the normal standing area pretty easily, so we were close enough to avoid the middle-of-arena noise muddle that is inevitable in stadium gigs, and to have a pretty sick view of the stage.

Boss came on at 7.10 and played a pretty chilling Ghost of Tom Joad, became clear that the sound was properly sorted early in the show which is a good sign - the guitar was clear and loud and the harmonica pierced the whole stadium.

He played a few sign requests, had a few people up on stage and gave some dude a hug because of a sign request ('please bruce can I have a man hug'), then launched into the entire Born To Run album, at which point me and my mate wet ourselves with excitement. He added a nice touch by dedicating the album to the late James Gandolfini.

He then launched into two mini-encore shows, had several more people up on stage, including a girl playing his guitar (After a sign request saying 'i'd look good playing your guitar'), before finishing the show 3+ hours after it started.

Staying on my feet for 9+ hours was pretty gruelling, but my god it was worth it. As an already-converted fan I may be slightly biased, but it's an easy 10/10 show. I saw him last year in Manchester and thought it was a great show, but this beat it hands down. The fact the dude's 63 only serves to heighten just how good a live act he is.

[∞]

Lil B at Santa Ana
I was at the front row. He freestyled and said he was ugly I said "NO YOU'RE NOT BASED GOD" and he pointed at me and said thanks for that. then after the show he was taking pics with literally everyone and I wish him a happy mothers day and he points at me and nods his head. then when my pic was being taken i told him what his music means to me and thanked for adding me on facebook and he said "no problem i love you" then after i took a pic of him and my friend he shook my hand and said "stay positive fam".

[Zukunftsmusik]

Saw Dark Times (http://darktimes.bandcamp.com/) and Urbanoia (http://darktimes.bandcamp.com/)in Moss, a town near Oslo. It was at a self-managed youth coulture house, but it turned out that all the people there were less than twenty people who knew each other. So it was a little awkward. The whos was OK, Dark Times had a couple of new songs which were really good.


Two or three days later I saw Urbanoia again, together with Blood Suckers (http://crushtodust.com/), Violent Reaction (http://violentreaction.bandcamp.com/) and Hounds of Hate (http://houndsofhate.bandcamp.com/). It was at this really cool place in the basement of what at least looked like a normal apartment building. It was great, especially because the guitarist in Urbanoia/bassist in Blood Suckers talked to us, because he had seen us in Moss. Star struck.

[Sasha]

Waiting for Face to Face to come on, very much feeling it, perfect night for some solid skate-hardcore-punk.

Thinking seriously about boycotting the blackflag show this Saturday because of the shit stain ginn sueing all former bandmates inc Henry rolins over copyright bullshit.

Still got Lamb of God, Tomahawk, maybe Godspeed and cerebral ballzy to look forward to this month though, its gonna be a good month...

[Sasha]

Face to Face was exactly what I expected (and why they never made it big): really good, never exceptional... Exactly what I needed tonight but not worth buying some merch for i think....

[Ceallach_the_Witch]

went to Bloodstock and saw (roughly in this order):

Thurs:
(second stage only)
Ravenage
Tragedy

Fri:
Death Angel
Dark Funeral
Municipal Waste
Voivod

King Diamond

Sat:
3 inches of blood
Hell
Gojira

Anthrax
Dying Fetus (these were my favourite)
Slayer

i'm covered in bruises and I can only turn my head left :rolleyes:

[Sasha]

sweet line up, i'm going to lamb of god this thursday, pretty stoked...

[Ceallach_the_Witch]

I'm going to Damnation Fest in Leeds later this year, hopefully it'll be as good as the last two years. I'm also hoping I'll have a bit more cash to see more gigs next year,s ince I've only been to a handful in the last year.

[Sasha]

yeah, not really a problem for me, i work in 1 of the 2 main concert venues in amsterdam, my gf works in the other, so i get to see most shows here if i want to.
biggest problem is that i really dont feel like going to "no idea who or whats playing, lets check it out" shows in underground places anymore on my free nights like i used too, been missing a lot of cool stuff probably...

[Sasha]

just came back from Cerebral Ballzy, it was really good, drunk as fuck now...
first support was Kids Insane, a really good political hardcore punk band (very blackflag like) from tel aviv, really good.
second support was white slice, a new local band, o.k. but not yet really good.
Cerebral Ballzy killed it though, even when the singer looked to stoned to know where he was at times, really good...
think i'm going to say really good a couple of times more..
really good...

[Ceallach_the_Witch]

Went to a small gig in a local venue for, of all things, the launch of a real cider named after one of my mates (who is a blues and folk musician.)

Really fun night of discounted cider and good music :D First act was a raggy-looking bluesman of the name Dogfinger Steve who plays a cigarbox guitar and has a stomp-box made out of a license plate. He was followed by a prog-folk guitarist called Tim O'Connor (a bit like Jethro Tull with a bit of The Incredible String band thrown in) My mate played (blues and folk stuff, a few protest songs thrown in) then he was followed by a bizarre dance-pop act called the mark Robinson Experience (full laser show, keytars, middle-aged man in a jumper etcetera.

Final act of the evening was The Gherkins - 5 guys in eveningwear painted green singing old music hall and vaudeville songs with weird hats and instruments.

Like I said, a fun night

[Sixiang]

Two weeks ago I saw Death, the "protopunk" band from Detroit, not the death metal band. They were awesome live. I got to meet the band and shake their hands and they signed my copies of their albums. They were the nicest guys and they have this amazing, genuine story. It's filled with religious imagery, but it's a good story. They have this cool documentary out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDPDm9_nX0o

It's really amazing that they were making music like that in 1974 in their parents' house.

Just came back from Tomahawk (mike patton from faith no more etc) and it was fucking brilliant. A bit short but awesome...

[Consistent.Surprise]

Just came back from Tomahawk (mike patton from faith no more etc) and it was fucking brilliant. A bit short but awesome...

He is a GOD! Saw them a decade ago with Tool. Totally worth the 8 or so hour drive.

[Sasha]

Saw GoodRiddance a few days ago, completly forgot what an awesome band they are, it was really really good, support was the dutch political punk band Smash the Statues, also really good.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Eyehategod, Sabetrooth Zombie, Augurs, Plague Widow

Sound quality is about right. And holy shit it was an awesome show.

[Sasha]

was working a "post"-hardcore package today, boy sets fire and funural for a friend sucked emo-donkey balls but i was very impressed by Stick to your Guns, shame they where only support so where only given 30 minutes on stage...

[Rosa Partizan]

boy sets fire [...]sucked emo-donkey balls

if you weren't admin, I'd request your ban right now.

[Skyhilist]

I haven't been to a concert in awhile :( last one was Black Sabbath last summer and it was amazing.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Just saw these dues. They were pretty fucking good. they managed to do a doomy/sludgey sound but in punk-sized bites, live at least. and the drummer is fucking on point.

them in '99xBxcU_uuo5M

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Person of Interest - Predictable, formulaic hi-tech vigilante drama that wife is completely addicted to. Kills time, not too offensive or interesting.

haha, this thread is about band live performances (as its in the music forum) not TV shows, sorry...

[Rusty Shackleford]

Just saw a few bands and the only one worth mentioning was Cura Cochino.

They weren't some 'musician's band' of technical blasturbation or some boring ass death metal.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Off to SF in a bit to see Kadavar (Germany, not the Death Metal Kadavar), the Shrine (LA) and Mondo Drag from Oakland. I'm sure it will be good. If any of you Bay folks are interested, its $12 (probably a bit more at the door) at the 'Bottom of the Hill' in SF. Starts at 9:30.


http://www.bottomofthehill.com/f/20140509bf.png





So, the crowd at this show has better than the crowds at the last 5 shows I've been to combined. The music was on point and the venue was awesome. Idk really what to say, if kadavar comes by your place and you like rock, GO.

[#FF0000]

I saw Slint a week ago. P. intense

[Rosa Partizan]

2 days ago, I saw Rantanplan, a German punk band. The show was amazing.

[Sasha]

Saw a Swedish political hardcore band yesterday; damaged head
Really good.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Local Sacto doom band Bog Oak was pretty good. Chicago based Mount Salem was pretty fucking good. Kind of a more doomy version of Blood Ceremony.

[Sasha]

Just came back from a Ghost show, the music was pretty good but the stage show/ esthetics was where it really was at.... Epic to say the least...

[Sasha]

Sweet, working a sean price, smif n wessum, boot camp click show for not even 300 ppl but because we have WU-stock later this week at the beach half the clan is doing a suprise appearance...
So our guests are gettin their moneys worth..

[Sasha]

Instrumental surf festival today, started out all very tame and a bit boring but the last two bands where fucking epic, 50 feet combo from gent Belgium was like a Tarantino soundtrack made love to a bag of cocaine. And the last band Daikaiju from Alabama US just was plain insanity, burning and crowdsurfung drum kits, stage invasions while the band was playing in the pit and circle pits and moshing on a surf band? Fucking epic.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Well, imma be seeing uncle acid in Seattle and then eyehategod for the second time this year on Sacramento. Fuck yes I will let you all know of the glory that shall be had

[dilandilan]

Can you mention the names of the concerts that you have seen?????

[Rusty Shackleford]

Who?

[Rosa Partizan]

I saw RVIVR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RVIVR) this evening. They had some nice short speeches between the songs (the singer described himself as genderqueer and was glad about the unisex restrooms) and their show was fresh and energetic, but the audience was really lame, which is really typical of German autonomous venue visitors.

[#FF0000]

Saw Melt-Banana at Johnny Brenda's last night. Got punched in the face by a tiny white girl. Good show.

The opening acts, HIRS and Hot Nerds were also hella good, on top of being awesome people.

[Sasha]

Well, imma be seeing uncle acid in Seattle and then eyehategod for the second time this year on Sacramento. Fuck yes I will let you all know of the glory that shall be had

saw EYEHATEGOD on roadburn last april, it was fucking amazing, so much good bands, also really liked russian circles, primitive man, goatwhore and scott h birham.

was yesterday at Danko Jones, very rad as always, their support, death penalty, was a disappointment though, great instrumentalists (no wonder with an ex member of cathedral at the helm) but the vocalist was pretty weak.

[Cliff Paul]

Saw Prawn a couple of days ago. I think that's the 6th time I've seen them? They were okay. I don't really care for their new stuff though.

[Sasha]

Went to Goatsnake with phoenixash last week, was an amazing show, maybe besides Meshuggah the best show i have seen this last year, and i see a lot of great shows...

[#FF0000]

Saw Vince Staples/Sleigh Bells/Run The Jewels in Brooklyn on Sunday.

Nas showed up halfway through RTJ's set and did "Made You Look"

I am also no longer self conscious about dancing after seeing what wealthy white Brooklynites call dancing

[Cliff Paul]

mono. they played most of their new stuff but hearing lost snow live was amazing.

[Cliff Paul]

Toe. Best show I've ever been too. My only complaint was that they didn't play C or My Little Wish but whatever.

[#FF0000]

Saw Death Grips last Saturday, for the second time. One of the more intense shows I've been to and I loved the venue but it didn't compare to seeing them perform on a knee-high stage in a church basement, Flatlander or no.

[Cliff Paul]

Counterparts. I absolutely love like 80% of their songs but most of their set was songs that I was kind of indifferent towards. Why you do this to me Counterparts?

[Danielle Ni Dhighe]

I saw Toto and Yes in concert on September 10th.

Toto opened the concert, playing a hard rocking and energetic 90 minute set with 15 songs covering the span from their 1978 debut album right through to their new 2015 album. They opened with the new song "Running Out of Time", and concluded with rousing, extended renditions of "Rosanna" and "Africa", bringing the crowd to its feet. New drummer Shannon Forrest brought some heavy thunder (accompanied by percussionist Lenny Castro), while founding guitarist Steve Lukather cranked up the amps and delivered some blistering solos. Lukather, keyboardist David Paich, and Joseph Williams were all in good form on vocals (with the latter sounding enough like Bobby Kimball for their oldest material). I'm not ashamed to say I knew all the lyrics and sang along with every song.

Yes opened their set with a moving tribute to their late bassist Chris Squire, who died earlier this year of leukemia at the age of 67. It had Squire's Rickenbacker bass all alone on stage, bathed in a spotlight, while a recording of "Onward" played and clips of Squire appeared on the two large video screens.

Yes played 10 songs in 90 minutes, almost all of them from their 1970s progressive rock glory days. 1983's "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was the newest song played, and despite drummer Alan White being the only member of this lineup to have played on that recording, it was a definitive version. New singer Jon Davison sounded so much like original singer Jon Anderson that if you closed your eyes you'd think it was Anderson. Steve Howe demonstrated his brilliance on guitar, steel guitar, and guitarra. Billy Sherwood stepped into the big shoes of Squire, and acquitted himself admirably. Former Buggles and Asia keyboardist Geoff Downes played synths, adding honky tonk piano to 1971's "I've Seen All Good People". Their encore was a truly epic rendition of 1971's "Starship Trooper".

[Danielle Ni Dhighe]

Last night: The Misfits, She Demons, Avoid the Void, Beneath the Spin Light, and Says the Snake.

A good concert by all five bands. The Misfits focused heavily on their '70s/'80s material (including "Who Killed Marilyn?", which I don't think I've heard them do live before). I was really impressed by She Demons--an all-woman band from L.A.--and I briefly got to meet one of their guitarists. Now to wait for my hearing to return...

[Danielle Ni Dhighe]

Opening act Rival Sons impressed me with their bluesy hard rock, while Black Sabbath rocked the stage for a good 80+ minutes of classic songs covering the years 1970-76. Ozzy seemed recovered from his recent illness, and it was a tight set musically, with the treat of some awesome extended solos from bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Tommy Clufetos. Great concert. I'm glad I went.
