Broskirose Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Were you at the front for all of those shows? Btw, still don't know about the Camden ticket. My friend has dropped off the radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 You know who hasn't dropped off of the radar? Me. I'll always be there <3And yeah. I was front row for them. Towards the center for all but the first show, which I was on Robin's side. Got shoved a bit, but turning around and looking at the pit it wasn't all that bad. Except during March of the Pigs. It was pretty rough during that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Saw Avenged Sevenfold again last night. Pretty good show, but I think it was better when I saw them last year. Crowd sucked at first, but once they started playing Doing Time from the new album people started to get pretty crazy and we went from being halfway back (planning on moving up) to like 3 rows back. We were around the pit the whole time and hopped in a few times. Place had security that kept coming in to stop it and Shadows eventually was like "You guys don't need to be in there. They're just doing their job, but we don't need 'em there." Needless to say, security left Also, they brought a fan up on stage to play Unholy Confessions. Gates just laid on the stage and took a break, so it was cool to see a fan just be able to play the lead guitar, and not just an "extra" lead guitar. He did a really good job too, so that was probably pretty awesome for him. Fun show, though. Always have a good time seeing them.Next show is Gn'R next Tuesday. Now I just need to get Axl to let me sing It's So Easy with him. Or TWAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Flogging Molly next month! I saw them in February doing an opening spot, but this time they're headlining and it's a pretty small place too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Means War was epic at RIR with fireworks blasting from the stage in time with the intro.At this point I think you'd need to take over all the vocals for TWAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I ended up biting the bullet for the KISS/Def Leppard Toronto show. I had some money banked in my PayPal which I had totally forgotten about plus I found a deal that I couldn't pass up. Section 203 at the Molson. Works for me!July 13th - Queen + Adam Lambert (Toronto - Air Canada Centre)July 28th - Queen + Adam Lambert (Toronto - Air Canada Centre)August 12th - KISS/Def Leppard (Toronto - Molson Amphitheatre)August 22nd - Alice In Chains (Hamilton - FirstOntario Centre)Seems like a decent summer I must say.

Black Sabbath Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Soundgarden is performing Superunknown in its entirety in New York! But it's on June 2nd and I'll be in Vegas Sucks. Definitely would have made the trek for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Up-and-coming Canadian progressive/death metal band, Anciients, are playing here in London on July 10th. May have to go to that. Their debut album was one of my favourites of 2013. Just wish I could've caught them with TesseracT, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) GNR - June 6/7Baz - Aug 1Deciding which of these I'd rather go to...Alice In Chains - Aug 8Slash - Aug 15Slash is closer, and I haven't seen him yet... I'm leaning that way, but I'd like to do both. (He's playing a casino in between shows on the Aerosmith tour).

Slash, easily, he puts on a great show, he'll blow your mind with Nightrain. I don't think AiC really mix up their setlists much, plus Slash said he'd play some new songs before the album is released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Anthrax added a second (headlining) set at Sonisphere Knebworth where they're doing Among The Living in its entirety. But it's the same day as Sabbath in Hyde Park. Fuuuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansin Humanity Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Now that I finally know where I'll be for the summer:NIN - 5/20 (Glasgow)John Butler Trio - 6/21 (Boston)Primus - 6/25 (Portland)311 - 7/17 (Boston)Still a maybe on a few others - QOTSA, NIN/Soungarden, Slash (one of the solo dates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Steel Panther coming up this Friday, will be my third (maybe fouth?) SP show. A group called Future Villians is opening, from what I've checked out on YT, should be a genuinely great opener.Very conflicted on Slash this year. I don't want to pay Aerosmith prices (who I've seen twice) to see Slash play for 45 minutes. But his closest headling show is about 8 hours away from me.....

Gordon Comstock Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Foxy. Motherfuckin'. Shazam.They just announced west coast dates, and tickets are super cheap I decided to go for the meet and greet VIP, which was $40: half hour early entry to meet the band, a poster, and a ticket (all GA). I can't wait GNR - June 6/7Baz - Aug 1Deciding which of these I'd rather go to...Alice In Chains - Aug 8Slash - Aug 15Slash is closer, and I haven't seen him yet...

I don't think AiC really mix up their setlists much, plus Slash said he'd play some new songs before the album is released.The show I just got tickets for is on August 9, and I can't really justify going back to Vancouver 5 days after I was just there, it gets too expensive taking the ferry back and forth. I might, however, be able to catch a ride to the AiC show and back to Vancouver the next day, so if I can make that happen I'm gonna.90% of the reason I want to see Slash is to see/hear him play Nightrain, btw.

Definitely would have made the trek for that.I'm totally excited for Vegas and the Gn'R shows, but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't a bit bummed I can't make this show One of my favorite bands, performing one of my favorite albums in full.

ZoSoRose Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well I just got back from seeing The Monkees with my dad. They put on a great show! Davy Jones was missed but it was still really good, 30 songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 2013 was a great year for me for concerts, seeing Kanye West for the first time, seeing Springsteen for the first time and two more times after that, Maiden for the first time and once more after that, but 2014's looking pretty decent:6th April - GNR (with Duff!), Buenos Aires19th May - Prince, Birmingham23rd May - NIN, London28th June - Walking Papers, Joe Bonamassa and Aerosmith, London4th July - Faith No More, Soundgarden and Black Sabbath, London11th July - Pearl Jam, Milton Keynes12th July - Neil Young, London20th August - Jane's Addiction, London23rd October - Lady Gaga, London12th November - Slash, Paris2nd December - Slash, LondonPrince and NIN were firsts for me, Soundgarden, Sabbath, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Jane's Addiction and Lady Gaga will also be firsts. One band I missed out on last year that I need to see soon is Fleetwood Mac, been meaning to see them for years.NIN was pretty good, but I was surprised by how much I loved Prince. Of the two, I'm more likely to see Prince again. I'd check out How to Destroy Angels if they ever did a Europe/UK tour, though. I was surprised to see that Prince sometimes does two shows a night (as he's doing in Paris in a couple of days)! He's a machine.I don't think I can afford to go to any more shows this year or next! The exception I'd make is for a Daft Punk show, when on earth are they gonna tour Random Access Memories???!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
