    September 23, 2009: The Blink 182 reunion tour at Superpages in Dallas. Nothing can compare, but Ke$ha this April at the House of Blues was pretty close.

    My Chemical Romance on April 15, 2011 in Chicago. Fantastic show and amazing people. I was at the barricade on Frank's side after spending the night in an alley. I was there more than 24 hours before the door opened to be SURE I got barricade.

    All of the Adam Lambert concerts I went to were pretty good - Indianapolis was the best as I was second row center, but MCR wins out over everyone.

I went to see sugababes back in 2006 and i went to see Chipmunk in 2010 - also at this concert, Aggro Santos was there, Loick Essien :) soo this has to be by far the best concert out of the both! And i was right at the front of the stage, so i was like 5 steps away from them! :D best night ever!!

    Korn
    Great concert, amazing band. They have been around for a while so have a TON of songs, they had just recently released an album that was really good, and the other bands they toured with rocked (Flyleaf, Evanescence, Atreyu, HELLYEA, Trivium)

    Bands that I have seen live: Korn, Linkin Park (was my favorite band forever, till they started putting out the worst albums), Evanescene, Atreyu, Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, Flyleaf, Paramore, Mindless Self Indulgence, Coheed and Cambria, P.O.D., Hoobastank, Story of the Year, HELLYEAH, Five Finger Death Punch, and thats all I can remember off the top of my head.

    Only other band I want to see is System of a Down.

    If they ever came to the US, Id love to see some hardstyle djs like Brennan Heart or Showtek

    Also some of my TOP include...Red Hot Chilli Peppers
    Deftones!!!...love'em
    NO DOUBT...Gwen is amazing to say the least
    311...in Vegas and Irvine
    Jane's Addiction...Perry is quite the performer
    Slayer and HateBreed...at the Mayhem
    Rob Zombie...small local show that rocked
    The Yeah, yeah, yeahs...beautiful voice...minus the auto tuning
    A Perfect Circle...wish they just kept playing all night long in Berkeley

    Concerts are my VICE! I've seen an array of bands...NIN, TOOL, Nas, Wu-Tang, Mos def (less than 80 people!), Offspring, the Sounds, Paramore, Flyleaf, Marilyn Manson, Stone Temple Pilots, Linkin Park, Cannibal Corpse, Cage the Elephant, Courtney Love (sad to say myself but she was damn good), etc, etc.

    PLEASE PEOPLE PUT DOWN THE CAMERA AND THE CAMERA PHONE AND ENJOY THE SHOW!!!

    Warpaint last March... those girls seriously know how to rock. They also have the best time together. I have a serious woman crush on Jenny.

    Warpaint are so fun to watch. I had a big grin on my face when I saw them a little while ago.

    Okay. I can't narrow this down to one concert but:

    The Hold Steady - I must have seen these guys about 15 times now, maybe more. Always awesome.
    Les Savy Fav - Feb 2011 Manchester and Liverpool - No two shows are the same. I've got an EPIC crush on the lead singer and they were both such awesome gigs.
    Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five : Always brilliant whenever I've seen him
    Radiohead - Every time I've seen them.

    I'm sure I'll think of more...

    This times a babillion. I can understand maybe taking a photo or two but keeping your arm up and watching the show through the tiny screen completely confuses me. Why pay all that money to capture a ****ty version of the show with sound that is indistinguishable when you look at it later. Be in the moment for once you stupid people!

    Some other of my favourite shows have been;
    Radiohead for the OK Computer tour - I didn't know them very well, bought a ticket as I had the money and a friend loved them. This turned me into a fan and I just wish they'd return to Perth so I could watch them again as a proper fan.
    Them Crooked Vultures. What can I say; Homme, Grohl and Jones - f'in incredible.
    Tool ~ 2002ish for the Lateralus tour. Also saw them at the Big Day Out a few years ago but hard to get into it as much being at an outdoor festival with a horde of drunken *kitten* telling them to play Stinkfist and not shutting up and enjoying the music.
    Metallica ~ 1998, so good and hilarious to see all the bogans in their uniforms of black skin tight jeans and old school Metallica shirts.
    "Guns'N'Roses" (Axl Rose), Korn and Shihad - last year I was able to do photos for a website so I got to get right up to the huge stage and get some awesome shots of Korn and Shihad. Axl can f off for all I care.
    Presidents Of The United States of America ~ 1996, my first concert and I loved it. They came out in pitch black, played 2 songs then said something along the lines of, "Um... can somebody put the lights on now, please?".
    Rage Against The Machine at Big Day Out a couple years ago - never thought I'd see them live but they have done a bunch of shows in the last couple years and they didn't disappoint. Wish they would get their s together and record another album.
    The Soundwave festival here is awesome; been a couple times and I've seen Clutch, Meshuggah, Queens Of The Stone Age, Anthrax, The Sword, Ill Nino, Slayer, Sevendust, Deftones, Thrice, Faith No More, Jimmy Eat World, One Day As A Lion, Isis, Anvil, Baroness, Primus, Slash, Bullet For My Valentine, Kylesa...

    I need to see some more shows, think Soundwave was the last one this year and that was March!
