Concerts

[chefassassin2]

Dropkick Murphys at First Avenue in St. Paul. Walked out with only a gash on the side of my head.

Holy Hell, I might've gone to that show! When was it? And just to clarify before I make an ass out of myself, you're talking about first Ave. in Minneapolis, MN, right?

OT- My first was a Violent Femmes concert at the DECC in Duluth, Mn. It was a pretty calm concert, but it was a blast. Slightly smaller crowd, but the Femmes were really cool about interacting with the crowd. Totally appreciative of the people that were there.

Sort of OT: I'm going to Metallica in 13 days! Metallica, A7X,Mastodon, Anthrax,Thin Lizzy and Lamb of God.

SONISHPHERE!

Don't forget Machine head and NIN too

I'll see you there (well, I probably won't but you know what I mean.)

I too am going to Sonisphere,but Machine Head sadly are not.
=[

Still looking foward to NIN though.And in Ireland,i'm seeing Amon Amarth,Evile,The Answer and Green day.
I has a good few months ahead of me i think.

As for my first gig,it was Iron Maiden with Trivium opening in The Point theater in Dublin 2006.
And Metallica supported by Tenacious D in Marlay Park 2008.

Yeah, Minneapolis. I'm from the deep south western Minnesota so I just clump any of that metro area together. I think it was in 2003 or 2004. Lately the last few times they came to Minnesota they played at the Myth.

I'm from Saint Paul, and there's a 99.9% chance that I was there , I've seen them almost every time they've been here. If you're interested, they'll be playing at Irish Fest up here at Harriet Island in St. Paul.[sup]Sorry, just excited to find someone from MN, and finding out they're a Dropkick fan.[/sup]

 

[freakaknight]

Status Quo with my family Lol (I was still moshing and jumping off the chairs)

But my first 'gig'..oh how i remember it..the best one i've ever been too. Pure mosh metal on stage, wild mosh pits.. the stench of weed in the air..Blood and sweat, as you say, were everywhere I'll never forget it...or the memory of some guy out of his head trying to bite some guys ear off in the toilettes..whom my brother was holding back..not a memory you forget from when you were twelve.. however gigs now suck ass... whiny emo fags whining to a bigger group of static whiny emo fags.. if your lucky you get the odd 20 year old pissed off his head

I was thinking of going to Irish Fest but I just moved another 88 miles west into South Dakota, so getting to concerts is tougher with gas prices the way they are.

Gotcha. I know how that goes, trust me. I'm looking forward to it though. Flogging Molly was pretty tight last year, and I missed the Dropkicks when they played here a month ago, so I'm stoked to see them at Irishfest

But...but... *checks line up*

God damn it you're right. Why did I think Machine Head were playing?

Ahh well, it will still be awesomesauce!

And you will love Amon Amarth, even if they are half as good as they were when I saw them a few years back

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

Hey, well Streetlight Manifesto is amazing, so it easily makes up for the Nickleback concert, haha.

I certainly hope so. ^^
