Hello fellow animal crossers!!! I would love to know what your favourite concert experience has been! Ive seen many bands/artists live in concert and I just cant seem to pick my favourite one! It's a toss up between
Hedley (twice!)
Backstreet Boys (Aaahh!)
Taking Back Sunday (mosh was crazzzy i was only 13 lol!)
Let me know yours! And if youve never been to a concert, tell me your favourite album
I have a few (I could never decide). Panic! At The Disco put on a damn good show. Chelsea Grin was wild as hell. We The Kings' crowd was pretty damn pushy but I was barricade so what can you except, either way they put on an amazing show. Issues was one of the best shows too...so much energy.

Ohmygosh yes. I just saw Panic! for their Gospel Tour and they were amazing! Walk The Moon opened for them and they were pretty good too! That was probably one of my favorite concerts.
~ But I also saw MCR before their break up and they're so awesome to see live! I wasn't as big of a fan untill my friend dragged me to a show and it was probaly the best night I've ever had. XD
Oh & I like going to my boyfriends shows... I mean they're definitely not as big but it's cool to see him play. ... He's with me and I felt guilty for not adding him... XD
All That Remains with support from Caliban, Soilwork (and two other random support bands I didn't care about) at a gig around 4/5 years ago.
It was just a pretty eventful concert, and not even really for the concert itself:
- The first two bands on were the support bands so we stayed in the pub across the road for another hour till they were finished and played pool. I was lining up my shot when suddenly one of my wisdom teeth pretty much just exploded for no reason. Like I was just stood there minding my own business and it just sort of, 'popped'. It made me screw up my shot (that's my excuse) and hurt like hell, I was pretty much writhing in pain at the time...but in retrospect I guess it was a pretty odd thing to happen and it was pretty funny thinking back on it (as well as possibly being the reason further events happened).
I just drank more to 'ease the pain' since painkillers weren't exactly easy to come by at 9/10PM somewhere in Manchester.
- I went to the gig wearing an old plain black t-shirt with the sole intention of buying an ATR shirt (the band I mostly came for) and changing it whilst there. I bought the shirt, changed it and looked for a bin/trash can...Oddly, there weren't any. I searched around for a bit and assumed there would be one in the toilets. There wasn't. I just decided to throw it into the actual toilet.
- When we got there we found we actually missed nothing and those bands we didn't care about hand't played, so I just went to the bar to pass some time. I lost my friends and I decided I was going to find them (I was fairly drunk at this point).
Somehow they had gotten backstage. Somehow I managed to get backstage. I found my friend talking to some guy and just shouted to him "why are you speaking to the roadie?".
It wasn't a roadie, it was a member of Bleed From Within (one of the bands) and apparently I really offended him with this comment. He told me he was from that band and I was just like "who the f*** are bleed from within?". This apparently offended him more.
Yes, I am quite proud that I personally offended somebody from a moderately popular metal band.
- My friend got into a proper fight in a pit ('pits' are usually a 'metal thing', I dunno if they're really a thing outside of metal). I wasn't involved, I just 'observed' but saw that a guy pretty much purposely punched his girlfriend so my friend kicked his ass. It was a fabulous fight and unlike most fights, it had a suitable soundtrack! But I wasn't involved so it's not that important.
- After the whole thing was over and I saw what I came to see we were leaving. I really needed a pee so I went towards the toilet...Which was closed due to flooding. The security was taking people aside who weren't wearing shirts because apparently that was the cause of the flooding. I just decided I would pee elsewhere.
- I woke up in the morning at some random persons house in some random girls bed. Obviously my mind just went totally blank sometime after leaving the concert (booze related probably) and I don't remember getting there. I wasn't sure what to do since one night stands aren't something I'm particularly into and hadn't done before, so I got out of the bed silently and left a 'thank you' note...
I found my friends were downstairs and they didn't really know where we were either but it turns out we were still in Manchester, so I obviously 'found' a place for us to stay for the night. We left silently as though we were never there and went home.
Me from a few years ago was a right arse...But the stories from back then are great :3 I'm just boring now.
I guess the other two would be:
- The big 4 (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax) though that was good just for the experience.
- Firewind because I was at the front barrier stood motionless and kept mouthing nonsense words at Gus.G (the guitarist) in an attempt to get a response. He looked at me with an expression of pure confusion trying to work out what my nonsense was.

well ive been to tons so its kinda hard to say, but vance joy was amazing live! the venue was small, so it was super intimate & i was in the pit literally right in front! i even was able to talk to him & stuff he was such a sweetheart ; o ;
ive always liked the small intimate shows more than the big concerts n stuff so vance joy was definitely my favorite so far
Ohmygosh yes. I just saw Panic! for their Gospel Tour and they were amazing! Walk The Moon opened for them and they were pretty good too! That was probably one of my favorite concerts.
~ But I also saw MCR before their break up and they're so awesome to see live! I wasn't as big of a fan untill my friend dragged me to a show and it was probaly the best night I've ever had. XD
Oh & I like going to my boyfriends shows... I mean they're definitely not as big but it's cool to see him play. ... He's with me and I felt guilty for not adding him... XD
Dude I've seen Panic! At The Disco in concert 3 times, one of those being the Gospel Tour and OH MY GOSH that was a freakin phenomenal show. I almost saw MCR live but then they broke up :/
Sarah Donner. She's my favorite music artist and nobody ever knows who she is. It was a super intimate little venue with an audience of about 30, and afterwards she talked to everybody and showed us all pictures of her cats
Panic! At The Disco really puts on an awesome show. But the award for best concert I've been to was when Blink-182 played with My Chemical Romance. Two of my lifelong favorites playing the same stage in one night doesn't get any better than that. They're both amazing bands that really know how to have fun and play great music.
I'm also so thankful I got my chance to see MCR before their breakup. My life is complete.

Ohmygosh did you see them before the breakup? That's my one regret in life, being like 10 when they did the Nothing Rymes With Circus Tour and not seeing any Pretty Odd Tours... But Ive only seen them live twice, and just when it was Brendon and Dallon. xP They're still amazing though!
& I've always wanted to see Blink 182 live!! And them with MCR sound frickin incredible!!! I wish I could've seen that!!

I've only seen Panic! post split :/ I saw them right after Vices and Virtues came out then I saw them again last month. I reeeaaallly wish I could have seen them in their Pretty. Odd. period because it's my absolute favorite album they have. Of course, they were really amazing the 2 times I've seen them anyway. Brendon is such an amazing entertainer with the best voice! And he's so beautiful :3
I will always remember seeing Blink and MCR for the rest of my life. It was just perfection!
My favorite concert was Brand New, Thrice and Mewithoutyou. First time I heard Thrice and the live of Digital Sea was incredible and I never gave that band much credit until that moment. Plus hearing Play Crack the Sky from Brand New was a glorious moment.
Other notable concerts, being more of the fun vibe, were Mindless Self Indulence, Emarosa, Saosin (w/ Mr. Anthony Green), Justice, MC Chris, and Everclear. Surprisingly had fun seeing Sky Eats Airplane even though I wasn't too into them at the time. Lolz Also from my hometown metrpolitian area, Anberlin and Copeland.
BIGBANG and Katy Perry have put on the most elaborate performances I've ever seen live. Seeing both of them was like complete immersion into another world for a few hours. I was with my best friend when I saw both of them, too, which adds to the experience. She took me to see Katy Perry on my 22nd birthday; and when we went to see BIGBANG we had to travel to London, so we turned it into a three-day trip.
Although, aside from those, I would have to say that two that really stick out in my mind for the sheer intimacy of the gig would be Boy George and William Control. They both played in very small clubs so no matter where you were in the crowd you were always close to the stage and their interaction with the audience was incredible.
Sadly I haven't been to many, but the best that I have been to was Weird Al Yankovic. The whole show was supremely amusing. Other than that the only really "famous" bands I have seen was Smashmouth at a local fair and Matchbox 20, I would have loved Matchbox 20 if my friend hadn't bailed on me and I wasn't getting pummeled in the head by the drunk lady next to me's elbows... that kiiiiiind of ruined it.
