    Re: What concerts have you been to lately?

    Wife and I went to A Day To Remember concert over the weekend. Never been to a metal concert before as we typically go to concerts like Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco but this had to be one of my favorite concerts of all time. The energy they brought was just awesome and they put on a heck of show. Will definitely be seeing them in concert again

      There is a clip floating around somewhere of Babymetal's first song. One of the venue crew guys who stand in front of the stage was bobbing his head while things are dark and all we have is a sick guitar riff. Then Su starts singing and he just slowly turns his head around like "wtf". Classic first time Babymetal reaction.
      Based on the date of the post I am guessing this was at the Roxy in Atlanta. I saw Avatar in Charlotte the following night (no Babymetal). They always kill it live! Avatar was my last concert.

        Saw ADTR on the House Party tour 6 years ago with All Time Low, Pierce the Veil, and The Wonder Years... I hadn’t been to a show with so much production before. They “blew up” a “helicopter” at that show. Not gonna lie I almost hit the floor when that happened. Lol

        “Biggest” concert I’ve been to (couple thousands folks) and they had the crowd rocking so it was a good one.
        NHL - Philadelphia Flyers
        NFL - Buffalo Bills
        MLB - Cincinnati Reds

          You'd be correct. Didn't realize they weren't sticking with Babymetal throughout the tour. They really seemed to understand how to put on an entertaining show live. They've been playing on my amazon music playlist almost as much as babymetal since that concert.

            I think they are with Babymetal on the entire tour.. I could be wrong. I think on a few off nights from Babymetal they are playing a few headlining shows. Saw them a few years ago at a music festival and they were probably my favorite of the day even with only a 20 minute set.

                Currently "attending " Babymetal live at the Tokyo dome...by live I mean it was live in 2016, and by attending I mean I am on their YouTube channel.

                Kind of a neat idea by the band to have a "live" concert on YouTube while everyone is stuck at home.

                  A running theme for me it seems lol

                  I will be seeing Babymetal perform live here in Atlanta in September. Super excited to see them again as they put on some of the best live shows period. My wife and I were previously looking to go out to Kentucky for the Louder than Life Festival which features a ton of really cool bands (including BM). Kind of sad that we won't be making that trip, but we do save a lot on gas/airfare and hotels this way.

                    Wife and I went and saw Journey with Toto as the opener last month and it was really good. Not quite the same without Steve Perry but overall was still a great concert.

                      Going to see Babymetal on Sunday (3rd time seeing them).

                      Just saw today that DragonForce is on a US tour wirh special guest Amaranthe, immediately got tickets. Love both bands, and I have really wanted to see DragonForce live for a while. So very excited for them to be in town in October.

                        Since everything reopened following the pandemic, I've seen (chronological order):

                        Ayron Jones
                        Shinedown
                        Paramore
                        My Chemical Romance
                        Manchester Orchestra
                        Jimmy Eat World
                        Anberlin
                        Mayday Parade
                        Yellowcard

                        The emo renaissance we are currently living through is wonderful.

                          Been trying to make up for time (and concerts!) lost due to Covid the past few years. In the 2023 calendar year, I (plus my wife for most) have been able to see:

                          Colter Wall & Vincent Neil Emerson
                          Ashley McBryde
                          Koe Wetzel
                          49 Winchester
                          Tyler Childers
                          Mike and the Moonpies
                          Turnpike Troubadours & The Avett Brothers
                          Nick Shoulders (September)
                          Billy Strings (October)
                          LG 77CX OLED / Sonos Arc Soundbar / Xbox Series X / Apple TV 4K

                            Concert was this past Sunday.

                            A bit of a let down.

                            It started off with Jason Richardson, solo. Impressive guitar playing, but he used a backing track to simulate a full band since he was solo. I would rather have just heard him shred by himself.

                            Deathklok...a lot of people around me loved it. I hated it. The musicianship was solid, and I loved the heavy sound. I will just never understand the appeal of 100% nearly inaudible growling as a form of "singing" though. Even worse was that the band had very little crowd engagement . Instead they relied on animations on the screen behind them (basically playing scenes from the show Metalacolypse) as the only form of entertainment. It was a very long hour.

                            Babymetal ended on a high note at least. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with the audio equipment causing the vocals to be too soft in the mix and distorted even when they did come through. They brought a lot of energy and crowd engagement to the show though. So, it was fun despite that.

                              Erykah Badu back in July. It was ok I guess. Thoroughly enjoyed Tobe Nwigwe opening up. Mos Def, not so much.
                              F-L-O-R-I-D-A! S-T-A-T-E! Florida State! Florida State! Florida State! Wooooo!

                                Just got back from a great concert.

                                The headliner was Dragonforce who was absolutely amazing. They put on a great show.

                                Right before them went Amaranthe. Been a fan of them for a while. They were really good.

                                Before them went Nanowar of Steel. Never heard them before, but they were great. A comedy metal band. Highly entertaining.

                                The first opening act was Edge of Paradise. First time hearing them, but I really liked it. I will definitely check out more of their stuff.

                                3 openers who all killed it plus dragonforce. Great night. Minus all of the crowdsurfers
