The Blue Board

Hoffel and R.A.T.T. (bastard)

next time you are drinking come over the music thread and post stuff

need more people over there to make it fun

mastodon + opeth + ghost are touring together and playing near me pretty soon.... trying to round up a couple people for it.

Not sure if that is metal enough, but that's the best I got

I like Opeth.

Going to go see All Shall Perish in April, and thinking about going to see Rusko in May. Never been to a concert of a dubstep, techno, etc (not really sure what genre he is) before. Though when I saw Whitechapel, Enter Shikari was there and the dubstep parts during there song was sweet.

I go to about two metal concerts a month, mostly local bands though. I like to support them.

I had a chance to see Zeppelin (or Plant and Page) live several years ago when they had that reunion tour they had in Bama. I decided against it and hate myself for it. Hands down my favorite band of all time.

SMH, I would travel anywhere in thr world to see them play

I was there, it was Epic and they played twice..... filled in for Cee Lo for a little while... my top shows that weekend was Foo Fighters, Umphrey's McGee, Black Keys, Trombone Shorty and Bassnector..... Hangout this past year was one of the best festivals I have attended....

yeah Black Keys are amazing.... if you get to see them, then do it.... they put on a hell of a show.... also Trombone Shorty rocks....

This is by far my favorite live performance.

Open air - cool night.
speakers every freaking where - all their "sounds" could be heard (you know birds, sound effects, etc), nothing is left out.

at the end, when they go on their encore, in the middle of the stadium and "huge, ginormous" crystal ball opens up and rises, the entire stadium is a pool of swirling disco lights while David Gilmour is going off on his guitar solo on Comfortably Numb.

another great part - at the beginning of the song "on the turning away" when Gilmour hits that low end note at the beginning, the stadium shook, you could feel it moving for the entire note.

during the encore too - "One of These Days" - two towers on each side of the stage - they were "blowing up something" and you couldn't tell, but when he gets to the point where he says "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces" and he starts playing his slide guitar (by himself on stage), the blow up things are huge evil looking pigs, that fall as fireworks go off.

really cool stuff.

oh yea, the music was great too. :)

The lamest part - old couples dancing in the aisles while they played "Wish You Were Here" - It's not a love song...that song is about their Lead Guitarist Syd Barrett that basically was kicked out cause he couldn't function anymore due to way too much acid.
