[pieceofme]

First Concert: Lost weekend at London Docklands. Nine inch nails were supposed to headline, but the drummer got sick so they pulled out. Ash headlined instead. A perfect circle also played. Can't remember any of the other bands.

Last Concert: KISS

Worst Concert: some pop punk festival in Halifax which were headlined by Gob. Saw a terrible solo artist in Vancouver a few years ago which was bad, but can't recall their name.

Loudest Concert: a place to bury strangers. They supported Gary Numan on his tour last year. They were so loud that I now always take ear plugs with me to concerts. Or perhaps I just got old...

Best Concert: the Darkness at the MEN arena. Or gogo bordello. Considering I cannot name a gogo bordello song, shows how impressive they were.

Seen the Most: KISS (5 times)

Most Surprising: whitesnake with quireboys was a really great package which surprised me somewhat. The next time I saw whitesnake they were not very good.

Happy I Got To See: Prince

Wish I Could Have Seen: Michael Jackson. He died just before his residency in London. Had tickets as well.

Next Concert: probably Sebastian Bach.

[aznsquirt]

First Concert: Elton John, MIlwaukee, 1988

Last Concert: Mercyful Fate

Worst Concert: Drawing a Blank here, can't remember a "bad one" to be honest.

Loudest Concert: Vernon Reid's spoken word project at Maritime Hall

Best Concert: Extreme 2006-ish

Seen the Most: Dokken?

Most Surprising: Saw Jinjer opening for Devildriver at a small club in Sacramento right as they were blowing up. I had never heard of them, but everyone seemed there for them rather than DD. They crushed, the place was half empty for DD. The only show I've seen that had the whole "everyone left for the headliner" phenomenon. I definitely walked out going "well, this band's blowing up".

Happy I Got To See: Pantera, San Jose 2001. Obv had no idea that this would've basically been my last chance to see the original lineup.

Wish I Could Have Seen: So many answers obv but nothing sticks out.

Next Concert: Whichever one a friend invites me to.

[Wednesday 13 Fan]

First Concert: Mötley on their Better Live Than Dead Tour in Minneapolis. That's the way I want to remember them. I have no desire to tarnish those memories with their live garbage of today.
Last Concert: Wednesday 13 on the last tour...caught 3 shows
Worst Concert: Nothing against them, but Primus during the second leg of Slayer's last tour was not my thing at all. There was another band(not Phil) on that tour was that way as well.
Loudest Concert: Slayer
Best Concert: Slayer at The Armory in 2018. That whole bill was great. I even dug Behemoth. Maiden on one of their Legacy of the Beast tour is a very close second. Only live though...checked out the albums and I didn't like them at all.
Seen the Most: Probably Wednesday, but Mötley and Slayer are up there.
Most Surprising: Behemoth on the first Slayer farewell tour probably.
Happy I Got To See: Mötley on their comeback tour was epic for me at the time. I'm glad I got to see them before the wheels fell off and they seemed to really want to do a good job, particularly Vince.
Wish I Could Have Seen: Murderdolls, probably.
Next Concert: Now that the Wednesday 13 tour is cancelled, no clue.

Worst Concert: Robert Plant & Fabulous Thunderbirds. Went for free and I hated every second of it.

I don't like Zepplin, and hated plant solo. Plus I hated the fabulous thunderbirds. My buddy won tickets on the radio and asked me to go. I figured for free why not. I wish I had said no.

[Nate S Axel]

First Concert: Poison, Cinderella, Dokken, and Slaughter at The Joint - Hard Rock in Vegas (August 7, 2000).

Last Concert: Koe Wetzel on August 10th at the same venue... now The Theater at Virgin Hotels.

Worst Concert: Either Snoop Dogg (Duluth, MN in 2002) or RHCP (Minneapolis Target Center in 2017).

Loudest Concert: Motorhead at First Avenue. Nobody comes close.

Best Concert:
1A) Butch Walker at Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis in October 2011. Two weeks after I completed my first-ever marathon -- Shiner Bock/beer in hand crossing the finish line. Great show, best friends at the time were there, and just one of those nights where it felt like time stood still. Nobody cared about tomorrow, work or otherwise. I've only had that feeling at a show one other time, which was...

1B) ...a no name country music cover band called the Tim Sigler Band at a small honky-tonk bar in a tiny town outside of Minneapolis in 2019. I hardly consider this one a concert, but moreso the "post-show" after an actual concert. One of our friends was celebrating her birthday and we all went to see Dan & Shay (zzzzzzzzzzz) at The Armory in Minneapolis. Boring. After the show, we headed out to a little town outside of the Twin Cities. Small town honky-tonk bar, but another one of those nights where it felt like it would never end. Nobody looking at their watch, everybody buying everybody shots, dancing, having a good time. Every stranger was a friend. Gorgeous country girls. No fatties at all. Even though bars close at 2AM in boring states (like Minnesota) unlike Vegas where everything is 24 hours, Tim Sigler kept playing until 4:30 AM and they kept the bar open and the party going until just after 5. Who's going to care in the middle of nowhere? One of the best non-Vegas nights I've ever had.

Seen the Most: Texas Hippie Coalition.

Most Surprising: Hard to come up with one for this. Probably AC/DC or Metallica for still touring and rocking the fuck out. Or country legends like George Strait that sound just as good as they did 30+ years ago, unlike hair metal "singers" like Don Dokken who can't even sing anymore.

Happy I Got To See: Van Halen with Dave.

Bands I'm Thankful I Didn't See: KISS in the last 30 years. Bon Jovi ever.

Wish I Could Have Seen: I used to say Betty Blowtorch, but since I've mostly listened to country music for quite a few years now, probably Merle Haggard, since he lived the life Johnny Cash only sang about.

Next Concert: The Killers at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace this week. Then Jason Aldean in a couple of weeks in Laughlin.

[Lobo]

First: David Lee Roth - Eat 'Em And Smile Tour - 1986

Last: Phish - A few weeks ago

Worst: Burton Cummings - 2016. It was just him and his piano but not advertised as such. He was an arrogant, bragging shithead. It was terrible.

Loudest: Slayer - 1991. Seasons In The Abyss Tour. Took place in a historic, old theatre. They had signs up asking the fans to please not destroy the venue as they'd like to play there again sometime in the future...they never returned.

Best Concert: Rammstein - Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da Tour - 2011

Seen The Most - Metallica

Most Surprising: George Thorogood - 1990. He put on a great show and the crowd loved every minute of it. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was.

Happy I Got To See: Pantera - 1994

Wish I Could Have Seen: The Doors or Jimi Hendrix

Next Concert: KK's Priest/Accept

Next Concert: Don't know. I'm semi-retired.

[daveg]

First Concert: VH 1984 in Montreal
Last Concert: Zack Brown Band
Worst Concert: I can find a way to enjoy myself at anything. Motley last month was pretty bad though.
Loudest Concert: Taylor Swift. She had just come off a stadium tour and played an arena. Think she still had the sound for the stadium. Mind numbing loud, and the screams were crazy as well. My daughter is still thankful so no regrets.
Best Concert: Judas Priest / Bon Jovi turbo tour or Whitesnake/Kiss/Slaughter/Faster Pussycat in Toronto
Seen the Most: Headstones. Probably 30 times
Most Surprising: Collective Soul. Made me a fan. Great live band
