Official Rock music thread

[LionsFanNJ]

I've never gone to a major venue to see a band play. All the bands I like play in some dark. Kind of cramped club/bar anyway and that's how I like it. I think the biggest place I've seen a band play is Clutch when they've played in Sayreville,NJ.

Re: Official Rock music thread

The biggest venue I've been to was the Verizon Center to see Pearl Jam. I've been to George Mason a couple times, too. Apart from the pavilion shows, most of the shows I've been to have been at the same little theater.

Concert list:
Bullet For My Valentine
Chevelle
10 Years
Metallica/The Sword
The Sword
Foo Fighters/Rise Against

Re: Official Rock music thread

I kept a list for awhile, but my computer crashed somewhere around 2005, and I lost it. It was around 300 at the time, but I've gone to several more since then.

Re: Official Rock music thread

I only go to shows of bands I know pretty much every song by heart.

I find it pointless to go to a concert if I don't know the band really, REALLY well.

Bad Religion is my favorite band of all-time so naturally, I've seen them the most.

BR was my second concert back in 1997

Re: Official Rock music thread

Never really got into Rammstein. Never really thought Du Hast was all that great, and I don't speak or comprehend german haha.

Green Day put on the best concert I've been to back in 2010. Played for 3 hours, a lot of stage antics, pyrotechnics, lights, etc.

I first heard Rammstein in my HS German class, which was odd, considering that my teacher didn't really give the sense that she listened to anything as heavy as Rammstein, but whatever... Needless to say, there were some parents that weren't too enthused about their kids listening to Rammstein in class, though I didn't really ever understand that, because it was all in German, and 95% of the time, I don't even understand what their saying, despite the fact that I took 4 years of German in HS...

Anyway, back to the topic of concerts, I have only been to one: Skillet, Papa Roach were the headliners with Trapt and My Darkest Days. It was pretty awesome for me, because I love Trapt, Papa Roach and Skillet and My Darkest Days is okay. But Skillet puts on an amazing show. As far as Killswitch Engage goes, they'll be in Waterloo in July, but unfortunately, I doubt that my job this summer will allow me the time to head up there. Disappointing, because I badly want to see them in concert, especially since (according to what I hear from a friend of mine who's a huge Killswitch fan) they're allegedly going to have their original lineup back together.

Re: Official Rock music thread

Yeah Jesse Leach is back in as vocalist for Killswitch after leaving in 2002, as his replacement Howard Jones left a few months ago and they brought Jesse back as Howard's replacement.

It depends how much tickets are and how big the venue is. If the venue is relatively small and the tickets are 10-15, I see it as a good way to get the know the band better.

You've seen Moving Mountains? I know they're from that NY area. Pretty sick band. Good list overall too.

You should really consider joining this TurnTable.fm room I frequent. Don't let the title scare you away, it's really a play anything room: http://turntable.fm/pop_punkrockalternativeemo

Great group of people.

I've only been to one show, the Scream It Like You Mean It tour in Lancaster, PA. Silverstein and Emery headlines with I Set My Friends On Fire, We Came As Romans, Dance Gavin Dance, Sky Eats Airplane, and strangely Ivoryline.

[slickdtc]

Not a big concert guy myself either. I appreciate it, but music is an individual experience to me. I'm sure I'd have a better time at a different show as the Scream It tour was pretty intense for a first timer.

Thats why I love TurnTable. You get to listen individually but also share your love of the music playing with those of similar tastes simultaneously. I'm addicted. Ha.

If I was a concert goer, that would be one I would be interested in, really like some of those bands. (especially the 2 highlighted, though kinda disappointed with the dubstep followup from ISMFOF, but I heard the label wouldn't let them release their original material because it was too heavy (I wish I could've heard the too heavy version lol))

[slickdtc]

Re: Official Rock music thread

ISMFOF put on the 2nd best performance of the bands that played (we missed Ivoryline ). Silverstein was the best IMO, probably because I listened to them the most. Emery only got to play like 3 songs. We Came As Romans was good too, but I didn't get more into them until a few months after the show. Same with Sky Eats Airplane.

If I went to a concert with more bands I'm more in to, I think I would've enjoyed it more. But still like I said, I'm not a big crowd guy, I like listening in my own world through my headphones/earbuds.

Re: Official Rock music thread

Hey can someone help me out?

I'm looking for some new rock music, but I dislike metal. Pop rock (I guess ) is my favorite type. Anything you guys suggest?

I'm looking for songs that can tell a story like Innocent- Our Lady Peace

I'm looking for songs that are powerful like Losing your Memory- Ryan Star (especially the last 60 seconds of that song)

I'm looking for songs have a cool drop, almost acapella for a few seconds like Honestly- Hot Chelle Rae (2:10)

I'm looking for songs that can get personal like Perfect- Simple Plan

I'm looking for songs that reflect past times like Photograph- Nickelback
