    Well, I guess I have already seen them, Godsmack. Three times actually. They kick *kitten* in concert.

    I saw Pink Floyd in cocert (at Highate in Vermont, a giant field with 100K fans, it was pretty cool.) Giant floating Pink Pig baloon and all, that show was pretty good, I also saw the Dead up there, that was better then Floyd (more sillyness with the Dead). Lets see, I Saw Kiss, they were ok, seen tons of buffett shows, they are basically a keg party with grass skirts, mixed drinks, and shark fins (and parrots), but the show itself is kinda lame now. Ahh, saw Velvet Revolver recently (they are a superband with Slash on guitar) they were decent. Oh, in college, I saw Perl Jam, they were touring pre-famous around the colleges, this was like 3 months before 10 came out. That was awesome, cuz nobody knew who they were and we stuck around after and chatted with them (Before Eddie went all politico on us). I've seen lots more but I forget now (in either a drunken or some illegal substance haze being the cause mostly).

    So yeah, Godsmack would be my choice. Unless... Van Halen could get their *kitten* together and have a tour with David Lee without them going insane on each other.

    :love: :love: :love: Guns'n'Roses, but it would have to be with Slash too!!! I would have said Aerosmith but my fiance took me to see them and Motley Crue a couple of years ago. That was awesome!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I met Axle Rose back in the day...(must have been around 1992-1993.) I recognized his tattoos on his arm but not him. I almost wise cracked to his face about copying famous tats. :laugh: But I behaved myself and didn't say what I was thinking. I was moonlighting at a healthfood store in Malibu and rang up his order. After he left my coworkers ran up and asked me if I knew who that was. :blushing:

    Is is Axl or Axle??

    I know this is really nerdy (and ironic, since I'm a huge fan of current music), but I would have love to have scene W.A. Motzart.

    I am really sad that I missed Foo Fighters when they were in town recently.

    Country fan here!!! Johnny Cash, for sure, and Garth Brooks!! I've seen, Toby Keith, Brooks n Dunn, Tim Mcgraw, Faith Hill, Terri Clark, Stompin Tom, Billy Ray Cyrus, Travis Tritt, Tommy Cash, CCR, Blue Rodeo, Brad Paisley, Johnny Read, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Sugarland, Tanya Tucker, The Corb Lund Band, Montgomery Gentry and many more country bands. I've also seen Moist, The Guess Who, 54 40, and that's pretty much it for non country, but I would love to see Guns n Roses or Ozzy.

    Pink Floyd circa Dark Side of the Moon (although The Wall would be alright too)

    Saw them for the Division Bell Tour, also way awesome! Also saw Yes for Tales From Topographic Oceans, again amazing. Think I would have enjoyed Led Zeppelin, and going way, way back.... JS Bach, WA Mozart, Beethoven, etc, etc, etc,

    What? What was that Jeremy? Admitting you're wrong and that country is awesome? Yeah I thought so. How can you call yourself a southerner when you don't like the music? Sad, really.... :laugh:

    PS I am so so so jealous that you saw Chris Ledoux ...... :angry:

    I'd love to see Hillsong in concert.

    Me too, there's not a CD I don't like.

    On the flip side of that, I really love Coldplay....would love to see them in concert

    :laugh: Since I see it's okay that we can admit these sort of things.....I saw Neil Diamond back in the 80's. My mom bought me the tickets and assured me they were good seats (I was a teen--double embarassing). When we showed the (elderly man) our tickets so he could point us to our seats, he said, "wow! who do you know?".....we didn't get his little joke until we found our seats....they were as high as you could go and against the wall/ceiling lol.]

    hehe Yeah, I kind of posted that sheepishly. I was surprised at how many young people were at that concert though. A couple days later I went to an autograph signing and there were people lined up clear outside the building, down the length of the building and around the back of the building. There were a lot of people that didn't get an autograph. :ohwell:

    Speaking of concerts.....I'm going to see Stone Temple Pilots live on Wed!!!! :bigsmile: I never thought they'd get back together, yet alone a concert tour again. I am so stoked!!!

    Hmmm, in the past I've seen so many different genres it's crazy! Back in the day NKOTB (I know, official dork now :laugh: ) Hootie and the Blowfish (admitted), Billy Joel and Elton John together - that was an awesome show! Prince - yeah baby! Kelly Clarkson - hey now, she can blow.

    Lately though a change in taste - 3 Doors Down, Breaking Bejamin and Staind, Farm Aid tour featuring Dave Matthews, and Dave again a couple more times. Kenny Chesney at Country Thunder - um, free ticket from a friend, and d*mn it he's hot! 311, don't remember much......And many, many metal shows that I can't remember due to intoxication:wink: thanks to my brother, the drummer. :drinker:

    I would LOVE to see Coldplay, Tool, Cold War Kids, Pearl Jam, NIN, Foo Fighters, Incubus........The list goes on:smile:
    And would've loved to see Sublime....RIP
