Shows I went to this weekend: Reviews

3 shows, 3 nights, 11 bands. I saw tons of live bands this weekend, here are some thoughts on the best ones I saw:


8. Death by Stereo - I was surpised by the guys. There CD made them sound old school punk, but at the show, he screamed tons, and went brutal at times. Not bad at all
7. Unearth - I like these guys, so it was cool seeing them live. ONly played 5 songs, but the ones they played were some of my favs
6. Slipknot - I thought I would hate them (I only know 2 songs by them) but I must say, they put on a great show if your into them. One of the loudest bands I've ever heard. At one point, they told the entire ground to crouch low on the ground, and when the singer said "Jump the FUCK UP" everyone jumped as high as they could and the entire floor became a pit. Quite a visual.
5. Emanuel - They put on a good show, screaming was awesome, I met the singer that night. Good guys, check them out
4. Saosin - Sounded great, singing, instrumentals, everything was good with these guys, I need to check them out more
3. Senses Fail - Fucking awesome, Buddy sounds amazing live, exactly like the CD. And the screaming was fucking brutal. AT one point, Buddy just put the mic in his mouth, held it with his teeth, and screamed. Awesome show, make sure you guys check them out live, you will not be dissapointed.
2. As I Lay Dying - Fucking awesome. Just brutal everyone, I almost died in a circle pit for "94 hours." Extremely intense, crazyness everywhere, awesome. They are coming to the Quest the 11th, I suggest everyone go.
1. Avenged Sevenfold - FUCKIGN AMAZING. They did not scream that much, but I didn't care. The singing was awesome, instrumentals were nuts (Synster Gates is Godlike at Geetar) and the crowd was extremely into it. I loved every minute of it. Awesome stuff

All in all, great weekend, but Im dead as fuck. I'm going back to bed now.

Holy shit ou are soo lucky. I would have killed to see Avenged and Slipknot. I wish I could have been there.

Where did you see the shows?

Here in Minneapolis. 2 shows at the Quest Club and the other at the RoY Wilkins Auditorium

ARE YOU KIDDING!!! only 2 songs... wow. Slipknot is bad ass live. My friends went and saw this tour, I saw the last one. I heard that Joey didn't do a drum solo, which was AWESOME when I saw them, and either Mick or James (guitarists) one of them wasn't there due to a mountain biking injury... But dude, they put on one of the best shows live that I've ever seen.



Emo, but they're okay. I like a few of their songs...



I like this band a lot actually. I've only seen vids of them live and heard about it, haven't been able to go to a show yet.



A7X is kick ass, although I kind of grew away from them after Bat Country was released... but they're earlier stuff is awesome.

Congrats on a good weekend.

that song was spit it out, they do it most shows they did it at downlload Image file not present in the recovered backup

Yeah well I saw streetlight manifesto!!! So screw the lot of ya. None of u probaly like them but I dont give two flying fucks, ska rules....ska is great...Streetlight are one of my fav bands and was so fucking happy too see them! So someone suck my balls and call me mary.

I went to see bloodhound gang....AND THEY CANCLED

Nevermind seeing them tommorow

im hoping I can go to download next year

Hey man, you got good taste in music. Anyway, I never really got into Slipknot, but they did put on a wild show. A7X kicked ass even if they didn't scream. And definantly check out As I Lay DYing live, they were CRAZY

Ahhh man I love saosin and as I lay dying, your well lucky.

In the last week I have seen:

My chemical romance (haha, they were amazing because of allt eh fat teenage girls in the crowd falling over eah other)

Everytime I die (Just fucking amazing, pits where insain and one of the tightest bands iv seen)

Funeral for a friend (second time iv seen them, wasnt to impressed)

The used (Really tight, good sing along)

Killswitch engage (Pits where insain, very brutal)

Story of the year ( They did backflips and guitars swings like every song, had an amazing stage presence)

Rise against (Just pretty boring really)

So u went to Myspace convention down the brighton center did u?

Tom was there and EVERYTHING

I'm assuming thats TOC tour. I am fucking jelous of you, if I could see one band live in would be The Used. There one of my favorites. SOTY would be fun to see aswell.

Yeahh.. it was pretty good, MCR and everytime I die where different gigs though..

I saw the TOC when it was over here in the states... It was pretty sweet... I didnt stay for the whole show though.

KsE puts on one of the best performances I've ever seen, especially for a band that doesn't deal with crazy backdrops and stages... They just entertain better than anyone.

And SOTY is crazy live from what I've heard, I didn't get to see them though...Image file not present in the recovered backup

I would love to see Saosin and Senses Fail in concert.

I seen Secret Lives a week ago and it was awesome.

These are the concerts I've been too lately:

1. ALICE COOPER!!!

And that's it... but it was a sweet show.

Uhhhh, moving on

Next week I'm seeing SIlverstein in concert with Hawthorne Heights. Then the week after I'm seeing From Autumn to Ashes.

In mid december im seeing coheed and cambria and saosin, then in february im seeing the go team.. Might go and see taking back snday if I can find the cash..
