Last summer had more to offer, but none the less I will surpass the 250 mark on concerts attended.

July 10; Vans Warped Tour '08, Orlando FL
July 12; Edgefest 2008, Toronto Canada
July 19; Projekt Revolution 2008, Camden NJ
July 22; Projekt Revolution 2008, Jones Beach NY
July 23; Projekt Revolution 2008, Holmdel NJ
July 30; Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, West Palm Beach FL
Aug 01; Projekt Revolution 2008, West Palm Beach FL
Aug 02; Projekt Revolution 2008, Tampa FL
Aug 03; Projekt Revolution 2008, Atlanta GA

I'll toss in some other shows as they come. Yes, I know thats a lot of Projekt Revs, but when you have a crazy friend thats fulfilling a New Years resolution and your crazy enough to join em this is what you deal with.

Ev your going to wish you never went to the Dragonforce concert. You'll never think of them the same way. Either that or your just completely blind/death to the fact that they're bad performers. Same applies to Tool and Coheed & Cambria fans.

The Slipknot/Disturbed/Dragonforce/Mastodon concert thing is coming over to Toronto too sometime early August... real close to where I live too. Haven't decided if I want to go yet, I don't like any of those bands enough to go... closest one being Dragonforce, and they happen to suck live... or so I hear. Now if Gigantour(Megadeth, Dream Theater, Symphony X) came to Downsview Park I'd be all over that.

I'm probably being a little too harsh. I go to a concert to be entertained, and I expect interaction from a band. This is were Dragonforce fails. Their performance is the same as listening to a CD, just live. They'll say "We're Dragon, this song is called ...", they swing their hair, jump around and thats about it. If you're not passionate about their music it's very boring. Many bands I've never liked before have gained my respect and audience through live performance and Dragonforce is not one of those. Who knows, they might surprise me this time around.

way to go for sticking to a new years resolution.
it tends to happen that people give up on those.

speaking of bad performers, I went to the Static-X concert in Milwaukee Last year in April, and it was the best fucking show I ever had the fortune of being present at. STATIC-X RULES!!!

I've got to find a 18+ Mindless Self Indulgence show so that I can see some naked Jimmy Urine. Ever since they got big they don't seem to throw their little NY shows which they used to do back in the day.

they're only doing one show in NY this time around...

Er I'm going to Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium in July which should be insanel brilliant and Dragonforce (the stars of Gh3 :o) in October in a rather small venue, but I'm sure the small arena will mean for more noise and hence I will be deaf!

I look for a lot of concerts I've already been to Muse and Hard Fi in the past which were both brilliant (Muse inparticular).

Wow thanks for the vote of confidence!!

I've heard that Dragonforce aren't good live because they don't play the song 100% correct, but when you think about how insanely difficult it is I don't have a problem with that, and no one really notices anyway. Passion wise what do you want the band to do, I've seen them changing lyrics for live performances on youtube and that and I want to hear the music not "if you really really really really love this song then clappppp your handsssssssss"...

I mean yeah some interaction is obviously good but some go over the top.


Hard Fi when I went to see them were the great balance of interaction I think and Muse are just insanely amazing live.


I did hear that Hard Fi were rubbish live and looking at some live footage from a video it didn't sound great either but once you're there you just hear the song and sing along [kelloggs impression]itssssss great [kelloggs impression/]

I could make a massive list of memorable moments. I don't hold anyone to the standard of playing perfect, but I'll withhold further comments on their shitty presence until I see them again later this year.

Bringing this one back from the dead :001_tt2:

Dragon Force still sucks. A friend/DF fan I went with even told me that I was right, along with another who I caught up with in Tampa also agreed

If you get a chance go see Chris Cornell. He's for a lack of words amazing. Hopefully I'll be seeing him again on Sept. 5

I did well this concert season:

- 3 high fives: Busta Rhymes, Chris Cornell, Mike Shinoda

- 5 picks: The Bravery, 2 Linkin Park, probably around 9 from Peter Thorn (Chris Cornell) he goes crazy throwing those things. I gave most of them away. Particularly if there were kids around me.

- 3 drumsticks: The Bravery, Linkin Park, Chris Cornell

- 1 Chester Bennington sweat drenched towel, he recognized me and threw it at me in Camden. Wanted to give it to a girl friend, but she said it was cheating if she didn't catch it and did not accept.

- 1 shirt signed by Chester Bennington

- 1 shirt signed by Mike Shinoda, Joseph Hahn (looks like Red Tampon), and Brad Delson

- Priceless memories and good times with friends :cool:

Fucking awesome. And like I told you in Vent, Red doesn't look like Joe Hahn.

He doesn't, but there is this drunk pic of Red and one of Joe and it's similar.

Mindless Self Indulgence May 8th in Fort Lauderdale

If I remmeber correctly I've seen them as an opener, and they were horrible. I might be wrong though.

Btw, Dragonforce doesn't even play all of the song, they have a soundtrack playing in the backround for guitars.

But I have Nine Inch Nails on November 9th (should have been last friday). I'd really like to see AC/DC when they come around. Also if Queens of the Stone Age ever had another concert I'm definetly going to that, that was the best one I've been to.

Wow, I didn't even know they had a Projekt Revolution this year. People are only talking about the Mayhem tour and the Ozzfest festival.

Anyways, Slipknot is supposed to do an arena tour sometime this winter. I'll be seeing them and Metallica at the TD Banknorth Center sometime in January/February.

I live in Maine and we NEVER get any good shows up here. Last good one was probably Taste of Chaos but I didn't go (work). And before that was Korn back in October 2007.

We were to ment to see them way back. But because of that " Get me tickets" scam we lost £300 but got it back after some time.:cursing::cursing::cursing:

Yea you gotta come down here for all the good concerts. River Rave was good this year with the return of STP, then Filter, Pennywise, Everlast, and some other lesser bands.
