SwimModSponges Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 My sister got her boyfriend tickets to slipknot for his birthday, i went with. I don't really like slipknot, and i was afraid of breaking my glasses so i took them off and put them in my pocket. We were near the back of the crowd so i couldn't see the stage very well. Otherwise it was like somebody playing a cd really loud. Meh. 1
Ginguy Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Hmmm, I think it was Guns n Roses and maybe Megadeth(?) at Alpine Valley. I don't remember who exactly opened, but the lead singer got pissy with the audience so we tore up chunks of sod and threw it at him. Axl actually apologized to the audience and they played an extended set. Good times.... 1 1

I probably would have stayed toward the back too, honestly. Sorry it wasn’t the best experience for you!

RainyDayJizz#35 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Reel Big Fish and a bunch of other ska bands like Buckcherry and shit. Creed was also there before they got big, I don't wanna tell the whole thing but they had things thrown at them and were booed off stage, then came back and performed to silence. Reel Big Fish closed, it was awesome. 1 1

Even the lawn seats were pretty good, pretty cheap and as long as it was nice weather you could go and enjoy a show. I mean the group I went with all mowed lawns in the neighborhood that summer, so we saved the cash and got the tickets and had enough for food and shirts, so go us. Getting to unleash teen angst through vandalism was a bonus I guess. 1

Foghat came to town a few years ago and I tagged along with the parents to the show. When I was a kid, my favorite song was Centerfold. I think I just liked the music because I was 100% too young to understand the lyrics 😂

Well, the only reason I got to go to *NSYNC was because my mom won tickets, otherwise I never would have been able to go. And she made my uncle take me. He stood there with his arms crossed the whole time...I don’t think he was as impressed as I was 😂 3

Mix Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Simple Plan No one ever believes the why.....they were my sisters favorite band at the time and my parents weren't willing to take her or allow her to go alone....

GunStarHero Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Never been to a proper concert. Only ones I ever went to were during high school. One was a few local ska bands playing outside a skate park. Those fuckin dances man. Other one was held at a church but it was like screamo stuff my buddies wanted to see so I tagged along. Decided to headbanging through one band's entire set just because I wanted to see if I could do it. I did. Their lead...screaming man signed a piece of a TV they broke earlier in the set and gave it to me. I threw it away at home. Then my neck hurt for like a week. 2

Doesn’t necessarily have to be a big named band! Just whoever was your first show ☺️ Bush is ok, but not someone I’d prob pay big money to see, so totally understand. I’m only familiar with one, maybe two Collective Soul songs, so I’m with you on that, too.
