Tomorrow I'll be going to a concert for the first time. :D I'm going to get to see Def Leppard at long last. I have always wanted to see them live and now I get the chance. I'm actually pretty nervous about it. I don't do well in large crowds and tend to panic. I'm sure it will be fun though. My wife assures me that I'll have a great time. :p

Anyway, what was your first concert like? Were you nervous, excited, etc.? Who was the first artist/band that you saw live?

N*Sync when I was 12. How pathetic...

But, Don't shoot me. yet.

Then I saw Simple Plan.

Okay, now shoot me.

Since then, I've seen no crappy bands. I'm going to see Rufio soon. Can't wait...

My first concert was the All That Tour when I was like in 5/6th grade.. so I personally don't think of that as a concert lol I say my first was the Incubus concert in 7th grade (I'm in 10th now). I really didn't want to go at first (even though I was getting in for free) but I ended up going. We stood toward the back of the mosh, where it was pretty mellow. I was kinda nervous, and I didn't know what to expect.People were jumpin up and down at parts and there was a bunch of weed being passed around and crap, but all in all it was pretty damn fun.

Other concerts where I was in the front of the mosh, I never lasted. UNTIL I saw Eva, now that was awesome. I only survived because I was in the very front, and could lean on the barricade though :) Concerts are hella fun, hope you have a great time!

heh, my first concert was the evanescence concert in atlanta 9/12. It kicked so much @$$, trust me, when the concert starts up you forget about being nervious.

I went to see Bob Dylan. And I went with someone in which our friendship had begun to drift, so it was a little uncomfortable.

My first concert that I thoroughly enjoyed though? The Who. It was bittersweet, b/c John Entwistle had just died. But they performed amazingly. I heart one Roger Daltry. I think I was the youngest person there who was completely jamming out. It was great.

Then, of course, there's the Ev concerts. Enough said there. Amazing

My first concert was The Moody Blues.

It was one of the bands my parents were listening to at the time, I think I was around 12.

Anyway, I liked one of their songs, so my parents took me to the concert.

Dont remember much about it, though.

wow.. my friend derek would be so jealous knowing you're going to that concert! i'm jealous!

my first concert was willie nelson and johnny cash and i think some other guys, but i can't remember who. pretty sure i was 8.

Lucky...getting to go to a concert you want to go to.

I've been to some Christian concert at Carowinds befo (it's like Six Flags, Busch Gardens, King's Dominion...one of those theme parks)...I left after a few minutes.

I've only been to football games and a WWE event.

I hope someday I'll get to see Evanescence or Michelle Branch in concert...or any good rap artist.

my first concert was willie nelson and johnny cash and i think some other guys, but i can't remember who. pretty sure i was 8.

I envy you. :P

I've never been to a concert before in my life... Evanescence was here in Milwaukee a few weeks back but I couldn't go because I had to work. But I'll make sure to go when they come back.

My first concert...well...i wouldn't really consider this one...cuz I only went because it was the craze of my worst best friend in 4th grade. It was the...wuts their name...umm...Spice Girls (dies...shoot me you guys) And then...i went to an nsync concert...yeah...(stab me please!)...and then I went to another nsync concert....with THREE GUYS...you'd think...i would be the one screaming...but it was my guy friends screaming and singing. haha...moments to remember. And then I went to the Janet Jackson concert...a bit better..she had this guy come up on stage..which apparently was someone my cousin knew...and like she strapped him to some sex table or sumfin...and started touching him...umm...i was like 13..lol...it was funny...yet kinda wierd...and gross.

And then I went to the Evanescence concert. OH YEAH

*tear* sadly no first concert yet! Well Ive been to a bunch of smalltown stuff but not a real big show!

My first show was Garbage at first avenue in Minneapolis,MN on 5-10-02. Garbage was my favourite band like nobody could touch them and I was beyond nervous. Then when I met them I started crying and acting like an idiot, Cause I have been such fans of them since as long as I can remember. and the show was amazing, despite what the paper review was.

First concert was to see Goldfinger, but Mest was also there so it was like kick ass x 8.


My second was to se Ev.


and that's it.

I went to see Bob Dylan.

lol My Dad likes Bob Dylan. Ipersonally think he sings like a sheep. Good lyrics though. His guitar isn't that bad.

My first concert was Paula Abdul...before I get made fun of severely I was 7, lol.

Now I consider my first concert to be when I went to see Paul McCartney when I was in 11th grade. That was Uber fantastic :)

Then I went to see Evanescence a bunch this year and WOW! They are the best live.

where are the metal heads?
my first concert metallica when they toured the black album, the next was slayer with biohazard and machine head, followed by pantera, white zombie, ministry, korn, the cult, iron maiden, blah blah!~

I am happy to say, that my first concert... was Evanescence. I will live forever being able to say Evanescence was the first concert I attented. Hehehe. That makes me happy. No crappy boy band concerts for me! Bwahahaha. And I can also say my first concert was also the first time I saw someone faint (WORM BABY!)!

Hehe, I love to torture her on that.

where are the metal heads?
my first concert metallica when they toured the black album, the next was slayer with biohazard and machine head, followed by pantera, white zombie, ministry, korn, the cult, iron maiden, blah blah!~

i've seen white zombie, korn, and the cult. but they were far from my first concert.

and i saw metallica, too. summer sanitarium, 2000 in dallas. well...i saw most of metallica. james hetfield decided not to show up for that one. the guy from SOAD sang the first coupla songs in the metallica set. then jason newsted sang a few. then...kid rock sang the rest of the set... i turned my back to the stage...

My first concert was for a local band called grinspoon (who everyone should check out) It was a 15+ show and i had just turned 15 so i was still really young compared to the other 1499 people there. I will never forget it, people just spraying beer and rum and cokes all over the place plus some great music, truely a great night.

i saw killing heidi in 2000, it was good cept i had to be in the underage section cos i wasnt 18 yet. but it was exciting
local band called grinspoonyeah they are good

My first concert will be on 18 october.. Evanescence :)
Im getting pretty nervous

If I have fun at this one, I would love to go see Evanescence eventually. Not to mention: Scorpions, The Cure (are they even doing shows still?), and Tom Petty.

I've been so excited about this concert that I've just been listening to Def Leppard all day. So far I've made it through High N' Dry, Pyromania, Hysteria, Adrenalize, and Retroactive.

I'm just so friggin' excited and nervous at the same time. Fortunately, the Pavillion isn't a very large place so the crowds won't be nearly as large as it could be.

What's interesting, is the fact I'm 21, and didn't see any concerts until last year. *I was never into any one band enough, I guess...*

First one I saw was actually a free show (for students) at my college. Bif Naked, Crowned King, and New World on Fire. Not a bad show... not the greatest first show, but... pretty good.

My first concert is better than all of yours put together.

I saw Tool and Rage Against The Machine together. I was there when the bootleg of Know Your Enemy was recorded (one of two times ever that it has been performed live).

I pwnz0r j00 all.

Never Heard of Them together with two other crappy bands last year. I would love to go to concerts every month, but because it extremely expensive, all the concerts are in the capital, and not to many bands come here I havent been to many

and I thought my first concert at 14 was young. I see some people older than that who havent had a first or have only had a few.

Jeeez. This one's really getting the grey cells working overtime!!

I went to see Led Zepellin headlining Knebworth in '80 but I'm SURE I went to at least ONE gig before I was 20, so it might've been Marillion or Genesis or Pink Floyd or god only knows what. Not only do I not remember, but I know that I used to keep all my ticket stubs and I definitely don't know where THEY are - though now I've brought them to mind I wanna find them like NOW!

The Corrs and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

My first concert was Aerosmith, back in 94. Collective Soul opened for them; this was right after their first album was released. I started getting into metal shortly after that; Metallica, Pantera, White Zombie, Slayer - those guys were an integral part of my high school experience. :D

I save all of my ticket stubs, and stick them in their respective cds (under the plastic to help preserve them).

First concert: Evanescence at Webster Hall on September 16th. They were excellent, but they weren't the only ones who shined through. Revis and Cold were also amazing.

My first concert was with Sting on his Mercury Falling tour. It was cool!
That CD was released in 96, so I must've been 13 at that time.

My first one was Tori Amos when I was 16. Was so stunning.

My first concert is better than all of yours put together.

I saw Tool and Rage Against The Machine together. I was there when the bootleg of Know Your Enemy was recorded (one of two times ever that it has been performed live).

I pwnz0r j00 all.

Pearl Jam on the Vs tour. :P

I've seen Tool and Rage before, though.

Youre 23 and this is ur first concert? Where have u been!! My first was when i was like 12. I saw Eva 2 weeks ago :D :D

First one I went to was a few years ago, it train and semisonic. It was there only north american show that year, at the MN state fair, it was a good time.

Then I saw Flogging Molly at the Irish fair which was amazing, a few months ago

Then I saw Evanescence on August 11th.

Im gonna have to go to more.

No crappy boy band concerts for me! Bwahahaha.
Chut up! So my first concert was the Backstreet Boys. Twice... :oops: In fifth and sixth grade. But that was the greatest moment of my life...at the time, I mean!

My second concert was really super small though. It was Slick Shoes in seventh grade. Don't know if anyone here has heard of them, but it was my first experience moshing. Hahaha!

I also went to the Warped Tour in seventh grade. It was extremely hot so me and my friend only really watched two bands play. Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies were quite entertaining. Watched Rancid too, which was cool. I have lost all respect for them now though...

And finally just over the summer, I went to the Ev concert! Wheeee! Definately the best concert I've been to so far. :D

Tom Petty for my sixth birthday. :HEART: I loooooved Tom when I was little, I was completely covinced that I'd marry him. Times have changed. :D But it was so much fun, I still remember the set background was a tree, and I cried when he finished the last song because I already missed him. :D Good times.

My very first Concert was the Jacksons reunion tour when i was 5or 6at the Orange Bowl in the late 80's
my 2nd one was New kids on the Block in 1990 or 1991at joe Robbie Stadium now known as Pro Player Stadium LOL
my 3rd was Nsync's-No Strings Attached Tour back in 2000 at NCR CENTER
4th was Alcia Keys last year at Billboard Live
and my last concert was Marc Anthony at American Airlines Arena
last year
i hope my next concert can be Evanescence.please come back to Florida :)

OH and i Forgot......i saw Janet Jackson at the NCR CENTER back in "01"

I just got back from the concert. It was friggin' amazing! The music was flawless and Joe Elliot's scream is as powerful as ever. After this experience, I definitely would like to go see other bands live.

First concert was when I was ~12 and was Alan Jackson :shock:

Evanescence in OKC.

First concert:

Iron Maiden in 1984

My first concert was Bob Dylan... it was amazing.

Jester-Rage and Tool? I'm jealous, I never got to see Rage. :( I feel lucky though, I saw the second show of all the Lateralus tours, in a little theater in Chicago that people were paying upwards of $3000 to get into. :D

My first show? Weezer in 1994 I think. Maybe 93. Or 95, not sure. It was either the first or second time they played St. Louis, and sadly the only time I've seen them. Since I can't remember the date I don't know how old I was, probably around eight, but seven or nine is possible as well. I think Weezer is the only band I've been a fan of for so long. Them and Alice In Chains, whom I also never saw.

To whoever saw Flogging Molly-kick ass, no else here seems to have heard of them.

Kahless - I do the same thing with my ticket stubs. Except from shows at clubs that don't give you tickets. :(

Hmm...I think my first concert was Judas Priest with Megadeth as the opening act. Twas a good show.

If I have fun at this one, I would love to go see Evanescence eventually. Not to mention: Scorpions, The Cure (are they even doing shows still?), and Tom Petty.

Hahaha!! Yes, The Cure still does shows. :D I loves them (Bobbert is so grand). They play a lot of festivals in Europe, I believe...and everytime they release another album, they tour in the states (last tour here was after Bloodflowers in 2000 - I went!). They play such a great live show because they play stuff from like, every single album they've ever released. Go see 'em! :P

Let's see, my first concert was The Smashing Pumpkins in 1996. I was SO hyper about that show! Because I loved the Pumpkins (that was before Billy got SUPER CREEPY and released Adore - yuck, I couldn't stand that album). I drove from Florida all the way to Mississippi to see them...and then they came back around in 1997 to Florida, so I went to see them again! I was so mad, though, because I was a poor 14-year-old who couldn't afford a concert t-shirt and ALL of my friends from school got one. :( Oh well, because I had awesome seats and they didn't (I waited in line all morning the day that they went onsale because I knew that it was going to be all numbered seating since the Pumpkins are anti-mosh. Oh, and I touched Jimmy Frog's wing...actually I almost ripped it! Jimmy Frog is friends with SP and he came with this huge green dragon-like costume. Whew...I can't believe that was 7 years ago. It seems like I was that young only yesterday. Anyway, sad to say that the release of Adore made me sick to my stomach, so the last album that I actually liked by them was Mellon Collie...and now they are no more. And now I'm in love with Ev. Heheh.

Because I loved the Pumpkins (that was before Billy got SUPER CREEPY and released Adore - yuck, I couldn't stand that album)

You should edit that blasphemey before others see it.... ;)

Heh, no thanks...it is only my opinion, after all. I really didn't like it. Everyone I knew loved that album at the time, but it made me want to tear my hair out. I'm not saying it's wrong to like it (for all of you who do), but that I definitely don't. :) And to me, Billy did get wierd. Like, really wierd. It seemd to me that his mind was off in space or something...still does. I love Billy and all but uhh...he creeps me out these days.

Hahaha!! Yes, The Cure still does shows. :D I loves them (Bobbert is so grand).

I would love to go see them. I've heard both Paris and Show and thought those were great live albums. I can only imagine how great it would be to hear it and see it in person.

My first show? Weezer in 1994 I think. Maybe 93. Or 95, not sure. It was either the first or second time they played St. Louis, and sadly the only time I've seen them. Since I can't remember the date I don't know how old I was, probably around eight, but seven or nine is possible as well. I think Weezer is the only band I've been a fan of for so long. Them and Alice In Chains, whom I also never saw.

Holy fawking crap. I think I've found my future husband (or wife?!). <3 x infinity AIC and Weezer. I love you.

I'm a moron. Removed. :)

Good, so if all else fails, I've got a wife lined up. But is there a reason you quoted yourself?

my first concert was a free benefit concert on the marine corps base i was living on in North Carolina...i think i was 7 or 8...and it was Lynard Skynard, Damn Yankees, and Ted Nugent...my first concert and first rock experience.... fun times :D

my first was Chris Ledoux

the latest ones are surely the bestest tho =P

my first BIG concert that i went to was Smashing Pumpkins in the miami arena... they played with Garbage... i don't remember what year it was, but it was when the 'Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness' album came out...

twas great.

Good, so if all else fails, I've got a wife lined up. But is there a reason you quoted yourself?

As a matter of fact, there's not! I'm really glad that I noticed how I hit the "quote" button rather than "edit," even as I was fixing the post. Great work there, Lauren.

I say fastball, sugar ray, and the goo goo dolls when I was in third grade.

my first concert was seeing savage garden, it was a surprise 4 me...

Mine was Evanescence earlier this year at their Fillmore CO show. They totally knocked me off my feet. Band eye contact is the most wonderful experience ever (I'm a loser). I think every concert I go to will forever be overshadowed by that one. Damn you Ev, not really though.

Cold and Korn were both really awesome live, and I would love to see A Perfect Circle.

mine was that stupid TRL tour with destiny's child, nelly, dream, eve, and 3lw back in 2001. After that, Linkin park, GC, warped tour, aerosmith, alanis morissette, all american rejects, korn, and britney spears (2x)
im also going to the GC/Mest/Something corporate show in 2 weeks. not really excited though. lol. just tagging with my buds.

when i was a kid i used to be fan of the swedish band Roxette, that was my first concert. i saw them twice, and they were actually totally rocking the place (hard to imagine but true)....
i was 11 at my first concert....

i've visited many concerts since

*cough* The first concert I ever went to was... MC Hammer, for my 12th birthday. En Vogue opened for him, although I had no idea who they were at the time. Then at 16 (I think) I went to see Live, with Veruca Salt and PJ Harvey. And then this year, I've seen Ev twice, both times they've come through KC. I've also been to lots of local shows, with local bands, but I don't really count those as "concerts."

ooo this sounds fun...

welp my first concert was the spice girls....i really loved them in the 6th grade lol.

i was young and THIS is why you shouldnt shoot me lol

ive also see FF w/ chevelle, of course revis and cold w/ eva, Chicago..fleetwood mac....those are the major ones. all amazing....im sure theres more but....yeah i cant think this evening lol. ;)

My first concert was Evanescence, about 3 weeks ago. It rocked! ;)

Bush, Goo Goo Dolls, No Doubt. But No Doubt cancelled and was on the Tonight Show. After that they took off.

My second was Switchblade Symphony. I am still sad that they broke up.

I'm still waiting for my chance to Evanescence.

My first concert was at this little club near my college. It was Angie Aparo, Gareth Anderson?, and someone else. My first big concert was Evanescence on the Nintendo tour in Septmeber.

Well now. . .my first concert was Black Sabbath WAY back in 1975 (original lineup and all) My mom couldn't find a babysitter, so she took me to the concert (this "might" explain my penchant for heavy music.) Then I saw several local bands play every now and then. Next big "club" concert was Voivod, Faith No More and Soundgarden (Nothingface, The Real Thing and Louder than Love were the respective albums being supported for each band.) Then, the next big stadium tour was Metallica's Justice for All tour.

The first concert for myself was Metallica! :twisted: the night before my 18th birthday, which means something where i live (able to drink, legally)... It was an awesome show and really if you love the music, you will get over the initial lack of comfort of being surrounded by thousands of people... Anyways it ruled, and since, i've seen Metallica again, then The Jeff Healey Band, followed by The Tea Party and lastly A Perfect Circle a couple of months ago... All have been awesome shows...

DEF LEPPARD, NICE.

I saw Marilyn Manson in the 7th grade, May 9, 1997 at the DC Armory with Rasputina. Seriously the best Manson show I've been to.

Then, the next big stadium tour was Metallica's Justice for All tour.

Jealous :(

my first concert was melanie c's world tour which was really good. i wanna go to an evanescence concert, theyre quite popular in Greece...and well if they dont come here they better not split until 2005 cos ill go to the us then :P

My first concert, I think, was Leann Rimes and Bryan White. I was in middle school I think.

My first concert was with a small band from my town, I didn't go see any well known band before this summer.

My first concert was also at my first festival. It was Guano Apes @ Pinkpop and I was 15. And the next day I saw Korn :D
And more bands of course.

my first concert was a KISS concert it was awesome i still think its the best out of all the ones ive been too :twisted: . SO THERE!

My first concert was TLC and Arrested Development at an amusement park in NY I think (River...something). I remember that TLC's wardrobe didn't get there in time so they were picking stuff off the people in the audience. I think I was like 12 years old or something. It was cool because my mom took my sisters and I there to the amusement park just for fun and when she was buying our regular tickets they asked if we wanted tickets to the concert too. So she got them for us. My mom is cool. 8)

i saw Savage Garden when i was 9 or something

i was like last row but it was a really small venue

the stage rotated and this guy ran onstage in the middle of it.

ive been to alot of concerts, i cant even remember it might of been
def leppard if i remember right

my first concert was......a Hanson concert i think liek the summer before 5th grade

Well I just went to my first concert yesterday. It was so fucking awesome. It was at the Showcase theater in Corona if any of you So. Cal locals are reading this. I saw

Beauty to Ashes
Gone Without a Trace
Calico System
Glasseater
Evergreen Terrace

All the bands were good but when Evergreen Terrace came on it got crazy. The Mosh's were crazy and this girl kept stage diving and I just thought that she was going to break her leg. It was a good show untill some asswhole tried to start a fight at the end. All the bands were hardcore so I don't know how many of you have heard of them or listened to them.

well, if you count little church concerts or whatever, my first was this really awesome indie band called roulette with their guests shuttlebus. it wasn't that long ago, really. then i saw bleach a few years ago. the latest one was the evanescence concert in hutchinson. i was going to see bleach again last month, but they cancelled it. poo.

Well, unfortunately, I've never really been to a concert.

I had a chance to go to a concert with Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, RJD2, and DJ Fakts One, but I decided not to go cause I don't like Aesop's new album as much as his previous albums.

And I forgot to get tickets for an Atmosphere concert :evil:

The "concert" I went to once was at King's Dominion's I think (amusement park)...it was some Christian band there. It was free, as long as you had admission to get into the amusement park I guess. We sat there for a few minutes and me and a friend just covered our ears cause we were near the dude...loud music...and we just got up and left.

We managed to spend about $30 at the arcade there, I think...mostly on Die Hard 2 or something :rolleyes:

my first gig would be... feeder at brixton last march wooooo!
it was great fun and such a wicked atmosphere... i don't go to gigs often but i cant wait to see ghost of the robot next year.... woooo!! :D

my first concert was when i was in 6th grade..........gasp......britney spears!! :shock: haha, i had crappy seats, the farthest away from the stage, oh well they were free anywayz, it was a lame concert, i got a headache from it. b4 we left we really needed to go the bathroom, and my friend and i were lost, so we kinda went down through these doors and entered this really fancy bathroom...well we did our stuff, left and when we were almost outside the arena, my friend noticed that she had left her coat in the bathroom, haha, so she ran back, but there were these big police, swat people standing b4 the doors, she like almost starting crying that she needed her coat , so they let her in, but made me stay outside, then i heard the guy say "britney is in that bathroom right now" haha, my friend was in the bathroom at the same time as britney.. :D

my first show was strait up r0ck. Lollapalooza in july '96. I got to see Soundgarden, Metallica, Rage Against The Machine, The Ramones, Rancid, and a bunch of other bands. it was grrreat. My next shows that year rocked too. Pearl Jam, and then I got to cap the year off by seeing my all-time favorite band, the Smashing Pumpkins. :D
-matt

my first concert was a janet jackson concert!! from what i can remember i really liked it..i think it was the velvet tour...ehh..i can't remember...

My first concert I will admit to going to was evanescence at hammersmith apollo 11/8/03

But I did have to go to this guide concert with some reallt cheesy annoying pop acts. I could have hung myself that day, i hated it.

my first and only concert was evanescence :D 10/28/03 in germany, i was so nervous... some people i got to know before the concert gave me some tipps because they went very often to concerts.. so it was not so difficoult for me to stand in the right position during the concert :)

ive been to many gigs, can't remember my first but i'll give you a list of amazing gigs you must! see:

Stone Sour,
Murderdolls,
Alkaline Trio,
Machine Head,
EV!
Motorhead,
urm...the darkness were O.K

Check out a not too well known yet band called coalition, they rock! www.coalitionmusic.tk

I saw them n they were awsome!

Well, the first concert I went was Deep Purple in the Abandon tour here in Brazil... I guess it was in 1999 and I was 14yr old... i don't remember to be nervous, but excited instead... It wasn't very crowded, but I had a great time though... the encore with "Highway Star" was indescribable!!

the cure oh yea i remember that my first consert and for those of you that dont know who the cure is you dont love yourself.

My first gig was Evanescence-woo! they kicked ass!! :D
Im glad it wasnt anybody else and I cant wait to go again!!!!! ;)

first concert, Grade 4- New Kids on the Block... sorry

i so wanted to see NKOTB when I was little.

i went to see killing heidi when i was 16, i was so excited because we had to wait outside before it started and we could hear them rehearsing inside. it was only a small show so i got a really good spot, then 2 months later i met them at a pop festival

I didn't go to shows till I was like 16 (not counting local), but I've been to enough since then to make up for all those years and then some. I go to like 3 shows a month...

First show:
Skycamefalling and From Autumn To Ashes (back when they were good)

My first was a good one: Better Than Ezra and Cowboy Mouth about 5 years ago. Since my high school was also a boarding school, they set aside money for certain events every year, and one of them was always a concert. Yes, my high school rocked.

That one was my 9th grade year, and since then we had Tonic (decent), Sister Hazel (awesome), and Stroke 9 (awful). In the meantime, I managed to see Britney Spears (during my pop phase), and I saw Bob Dylan and Ev in Birmingham this past May. Ev was the best of the bunch, but Sister Hazel wasn't far behind.

Now I can't wait to see Ev again at Alltel in 2 weeks.

first concert, Grade 4- New Kids on the Block... sorry

Don't feel so bad...that was my first concert too! Hey..back then I was one of the coolest kids in school because my mom let me go.
Since then, luckily, I have attended much cooler concerts. I'm actually something of a concert whore...

My first concert was Rick Springfield and Corey Hart. *runs away in shame* :?

Tomorrow I'll be going to a concert for the first time. :D I'm going to get to see Def Leppard at long last. I have always wanted to see them live and now I get the chance. I'm actually pretty nervous about it. I don't do well in large crowds and tend to panic. I'm sure it will be fun though. My wife assures me that I'll have a great time. :p

Anyway, what was your first concert like? Were you nervous, excited, etc.? Who was the first artist/band that you saw live?
Wow, they are still around? I didn't know that.... I think one of the older bands I want to see most is AC/DC, I have always liked them but never been to any of their concerts. But my first concert was to see a bunch of non famous local bands, and at the time Godsmack was one of them.

My first?

An Opeth tour with Paradise Lost and Tapping the Vein. LC didn't make it though. :\

my first concert was.. for a radio station at six flags.. i saw Bowling for soup, tyrese, play, sean paul, jennifer love hewwit, field mob, seven day faith, frankie J, sammie B, LL cool J, daniel bendingfield.. it was a great show!!..

first concert, Grade 4- New Kids on the Block... sorry

Don't feel so bad...that was my first concert too! Hey..back then I was one of the coolest kids in school because my mom let me go.
Since then, luckily, I have attended much cooler concerts. I'm actually something of a concert whore...

ya, I think I remember being pretty hot stuff for having tickets.http://emoticons4u.informationalot.com/cool/653.gif

wonder if that's what it's like for all the youngn's that like N'sync now? hmm... probably shouldn't have thrown eggs at all those 8 year olds, and called them all losers then, huh? http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/sad/1431.gif

hmmm very dead thread....oh well!

my first gig was evanescence...may this year!!!!!!! woohoo it was well worth the wait! now im hooked on gigging!!!! seether supported and were awesome so im trying to go to their gig!!!!!

LOL wow this thread is old...

But I shall post my first concert anecdote anyway.

My first concert was Evanescence...February 27, 2004 at the Roseland Ballroom \m/ Totally. Freaking. Pwn3d.

My second was John Mayer...and my third was Ev again in July lol (where I met most of teh band).

Isn't it lame how I've been to only 3 concerts and I'm 17? :rolleyes:

I'll post my first concert i guess, this thread is old but still cool and i know i haven't posted in it before at least.

It was in 2002 and it was frikin EdgeFest! \m/

For those unfamiliar, this was an outdoor, three stage, festival of mostly alternative rock. Popular performers include Sevendust, Nickelback, Finger Eleven, Simple Plan, Goldfinger, Cake, Default and many others. This event took place in Molson Park in Berrie, Ontario and also happened to be on the hottest god-damned day of the whole summer! It hit, like, 40 degrees celsius in the sun and just imagine how hot it was in the moshpit! Which, of course, was where i was :cool:

It was a little over the top for my first concert, never having been to one before i decided to make my very first a huge, outdoor, hard rockin and hot one. Oye, i shoulda started small :p

Anyway, what was your first concert like? Were you nervous, excited, etc.? Who was the first artist/band that you saw live?

My first concert was back in 96 when Everclear were touring with Silverchair. I don't think I was nervous, more excited. It was a great concert, and one that was only recently topped this year when I saw Ev in Jan and KoRn and Static-X in Feb

HELL NO! I've been to 2 (two....too...to..dos.) concerts and I'm 15.

My first was...Michael. Jackson. (I was like..8 LOL!)

My second was Evanescence. :)

I soooo wanted to go to Ozzfest or the Metallica concert near me but...*sigh* my friend had 2 knee surguries this summer... :o

First concert...Leann Rimes and Bryan White when I was around...hmm, eight, I think.

First (and only) concert I've enjoyed...Ev in Little Rock.

April 19, 1999 - NSYNC.
May 11, 2000 - Backstreet Boys
August 11, 2004 - Ev. PWNED.

Sad. Sad. I'm more of a local band person though. I've been to countless shows, but do those even count?

HEE HEE :D
my first cocert was ev last november, it was really exciting, don't regret a thing ;)

my first concert was Evanescence:D
was really excited and it rocked,

My first was Allman Brothers Band and Molly Hatchet in 1979 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena! I had 103 fever but it was a great show!!

my first concert was Britney Spears

i hated it , my older sister dragged me to it.

Then i went to the Rasmus , that was great , it was in the Temple bar music centre , very small venue , i got squashed but got to the front. I was one of the youngest there.

and i'm now going to two Rasmus concerts in November , in Belfast and Dublin.

ok, it's embarrassing and it's not easy to tell, but my first concert was the backstreet boys in 1997 when i was 10 or 11. so, now you know it....

but i don't call this my first concert, my first REAL concert was EV! about a year ago.

my first concert was :rolling stones with acdc :D
it was great!
i almost saw bob dylan and i already had the tickets but it was canceled :(
oh and i will see nightwish october 16 th :D

My first concert was : Paralamas do Sucesso (a great rock band from Brazil). :)

my first concert was with 16..and im 16 right now ^^
it was the 28th of august..rock am see in konstanz, germany.
i always wanted to a concert when i was younger.. :(

im bloody 18 and i've only been to one proper gig so i dont know what you're moaning about!!!!!lol!

well it's kind of embarassing...my first concert was when I was 11 and it was The Moffats

My first concert was Weezer in November of 2001. Tenacious D were one of the opening acts and the best part of the night. Oh, Jack Black, how I adore thee!

MY first concert was , Seether , in rock in rio .. They are the First band In this day ( 30 may ) at 17.30 PM , EVanescence Was at 23.00 =) Amazing

*sreams into pillow* Spice Girls :rolleyes:
I was eight years old and I used to LOVEEEEEEEEEEE them so0o0o much...its depressing!! :p

Mine was Mickael Jackson when i was 9 or 10.
I remember that i invited a friend of mine at my house that day and she told me she was going to the concert with her father, they had 3 tickets but her mother didn't want to come, so they invited me.
I wasn't into music and i didnt know any MJ song at that time. Actually, i remember falling asleep at the end of the concert :rolleyes:

In December of 1997 I think it was, I went to an Aerosmith concert. It fucking owned, and Steven was wearing offensive orange pants. He owns me.

I went to my first gig in Febuary 2003. Was Sum41 at Wembley. I went more cus a mate wanted to i went to 5 others last year but none still this year :(

Umm... My 1st concert? Hah-- Britney Spears... On her 1st tour...

I don't know if that would be a concert.. but I went to see some guys that did covers of U2. The show was amazing, and they were all dressed up like them. They rocked.


I'm waiting for my first real concert to be either NW on November (wich I doubt if I don't find a job) or Evanescence whenever they decide to come to Argentina !

My first concert was Evanescence...in Jan..since then i have Seen Pacifier...a new zealand band..they PWN!...and im checking out Jack Johnson, Missy higgins etc..in december for the falls...

I went to my first concert just this year, in July. I saw Saliva, Skillet, and Earshot. It was awesome. I was nervous at first before we got there(I went with my dad he's into that music), but when the music started it just rocked. If you really *love* the band you wont care who is looking at you. And plus there are so many other people doing the exact same thing so there not going to think your weird. If you want to make the best out of your concert experience get up and mosh. I did and I say it was one of the best times in my life. I can't wait to go to another concert. Have fun;)

Ok, my first concert was Patricia Kaas, a french singer, when I was about 8 or something.... But that doesn't really count cause my parents took me there.
The first concert ticket I bought for myself was in July 2001, for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. And the feeling---- it was open air, really crowded but I was so happy because I've been dying to see them since 1996 and never got the opportunity... It rocked.... Will never forget that experience.

my 1st was ev at the NEC Birmingham. They kiked ass with seether. Goin 2 c slipknot/slayer on October 6th

I have never been to a concert, but sometime I will try to go to one.
Once I came close to seeing a busted one, but that never happened.

Humm my first concert was Kyo last year (a french band) and next a lot of concert !!! (Travis, Pink, EVANESCENCE :D , Europe 2 live (7 singers or bands were on this radio show: The calling, Avril Lavigne, Kyo, Luke, Katie Rose, Sergent Garcia, nerd), Madonna and The rasmus !

I am sort of ashamed now but I thought it was hot shit at the time! my first concert was the Spice girls!!!!! I went all dressed up as baby spice hahaha lol :D

mine was REO speedwagon and Styx!!

i didnt like um back theni was like 12 or 13 but Mr. Roboto was the SHIAT!!!

Other bands ive seen include Velvet Revolver, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown,
, Shadows Fall, Slipknot, Lamb of God, Aerosmith, Kiss, and Ev.

But my dream concert would be Guns N' Roses (original members)

Tori Amos a few months ago! That woman's so...perfect. Okay that's exagerated but she was truely amazing and breathtaking. Everyone who could see her live would be so impressed, her performance and professionality are very impressive. I was like this::eek:

Nsync.
And it was awesome. STFU

Im pretty new to the whole concert thing, my first concert was Evanescence. Ive seen Green Day too and both were great :D

Ok..you all are going to laugh at me but..my first concert was Avril Lavigne with GOB and Simple Plan as the opening acts...stfu!
I used to be a huge Avril fan,so it was a big thing for me. I was nervous the whole time,so I just kind of stood there like a dud. I regret that a little bit,but I was young and just kind of scared and nervous. I wore these really high shoes though,BIG mistake. I know I fell like,atleast 5 times,and I was like only 4'10 back then so I was stepped all over,even though I was basically wearing 70s platforms... When I got out though, I called up a few of my friends even though it was the middle of the night and they were all asleep,just to tell them allll about it. :D
Then, we couldnt find our car. The place was huge and the parking lot seemed like it went on for miles. Finally,after about two or more hours,we were on our way home. We took the wrong way,so we ended up in North Carolina. Eventually,we got back home after a long ass drive. Needless to say,when we finally got to the house,school was fixing to start in about half an hour. So,I ended up having to rush to get ready and go even though I had barely any sleep. Overall,it was one hell of a night. ;)

My folks wouldn't let me go to a concert until I was 15 :rolleyes: so the first one I went to was a festival - the main act I went to see was Linkin Park. That was awesome and the best experience - even though I did get a bit squashed in the mosh.

I wasn't nervous at all, as I was going with two of my close friends and we were thoroughly excited to see our then fave band live (I still like them, just not as much). Meeting them topped it all off, but it was so unexpected that I didn't have much time to get nervous - only in the queue waiting.

It was Britney Spears. STFU.
I was young and impressionable.
*hides* :p

My frist Concert was the All That Tour

My first ever concert was Steps, I was 11 so give me a break ! Lol
Although i do still have all their cds, just nice cheesy pop and i do have some good memories of school and such with most of the songs.

My first gig was Evanescence in 2003, extremely good night it was great to be 3 rows from the front, and amy and the guys were actually life size ! Coz you know how at most gigs/concerts you can just about make out a person, as we usually had crappy seats.

Altough since Ev we've pretty much made it close to the front at every gig/concert we've been to namely New Found Glory and Nightwish :D

Happy Bunny :) x x

Hey, to all who are embarrassed by their first concerts (i.e. britney spears, avril...) my first concert was to the Houston Symphony! But I'm not embarrassed. Classical music was my thing back then. I love taking a weekend to go see the symphony. I mean, it is what I'll be doing in about 10 years or whatever. So yea, that was my first concert. I've actually never been to a real concert, like rock and stuff but I'm working towards it. :)

my first concert was the spice girls.i was about 12 or 13.it seems like it was a long time ago now.

Hmm mine was Ryan Cabrera and don't laugh at me.:rolleyes: It wasn't like a real concert, the first real one I went to was The Starting Line, Yellowcard, The Matches and Craigs Brother. It was pretty fun.

my first concert was N'sync. I was like 8 or something. But ia m going to see seether in 22 days. I am soo excited.:D

in 1999 there was a Hard Rock Rock Fest in Atlanta,Ga.
It was so freakin' awsome (the bands I remember) Collective Soul, The Offspring,Live,Better than Ezra,Sugar Ray,Siver Chair,Eve6,311(ithink)...Im sure there were more but I don't remember.
I did see one guy dressed up like Kid Rock, and I was so excited...I don't know why though. :p

i went to KDWB's Last Chance Summer Dance when i was seven. any of you fellow Minnesotans might know what i'm talking about. Backstreet Boys, Five...it was pretty fuckin' hardcore.

Evanescence, Default, and Atomship
Feb of 2004

and it kicked major ass.
the end

My first concert was Billy Ray Sirus when i was like 7 yrs old. lol

my first concert WILL BE the ozzfest woodland date (August 27th). yeah, im lame, back off.... :p

My first concert was the very first TRL tour. The performers were Dream, 3LW, Nelly, Eve, and Destiny's Child. I went to go see DC (my favorite group at the time). I had lawn seats (meaning really, really sucky seats in the WAY back) so I couldn't see much. Overall, it was pretty good. It took me a good 2 weeks to get over it though.

My very first concert was The Rasmus when I was like...11 or 12-years old. I have to say that it was good.

My first concert was Max-a-Million and Nikki French, but I doubt anyone knows who they are...My next concert was Miisa, but I doubt anyone knows who she is either.

My first "real" concert was Sugar Ray. We were on our senior trip at Six Flags, and he just happened to be playing. Tickets were only $10, so I figured what the hell. Plus, my friends were going to it. Anyway, I don't really remember what I felt.

I know the security people got pissed off though and walked away because Mark McGrath told us to get as close to the stage as possible and the security kept pushing us back until he told them that we could get close. Anyway, they got pissed off and walked off. Heh, it was fun besides the fact that I'm only 5'1" and kept getting trampled on my tall kids, haha.

But I don't know. I was never a fan of Sugar Ray to begin with, so I didn't go all crazy and buy a Sugar Ray cd or anything.

my first concert is really really embarrassing. it was when i was about 10 and i went to see Jason Donovan with my mum :o

Nickelback !!! WHOO................

My first concert was the Backstreet Boys when I was 11 (or maybe 12? I don't remember). :p

My first concert that I voluntarily went to (my parents took me to The Statler Brothers and Crystal Gale a lot...) was The Mistletoe Meltdown at Nation. It was Vitamin C, LFO, DJ Raps, and Christina Aguilera. The only reason I went was for Christina Aguilera, and when she came on, I pushed my way to the fourth row, and was in awe the whole time. This was before she showed off her pipes on Stripped, so when she broke into the adlibbing of Genie in a Bottle, my whole body became one big goosebump :p

It was friggin' amazing.

I guess it's safe to say, I've been to a concert...I went to one last night. 95.5 WPLJ, hosted a free Bowling For Soup concert at Rye Playland. I didn't actually stay to watch the whole show, because my parents had already paid for points (the equivalent of tickets) to get on rides. But, I did get autographs from 3 of the members (the lead singer was jerk and didn't give me an autograph even though I was waving the paper I had brought right in front of his face)! Ahh boy, being ambitious is great :D

I don't really like them that much, but they seemed like really cool guys, and it was a free concert, and a perfectly good opportunity to get autographs by some famous people, so I thought, why not? They actually weren't that bad live...It was pretty fun despite the obnioxous people blocking other people's view including my own while I was watching. And one girl tapped me on the shoulder and said 'excuse me', and took my spot leaving me with the totally blocked off spot! I think she had that planned out all along...:mad:

Honestly, I've never been to a concert because where I live is kind of out of the way. But I'm going to see Yellowcard on September 19th because they're actually coming here! YAY! I wanted to go see Seether in St. Paul but it was an 18+ show and I wanted to see them in Fargo but my parents couldn't get me there:( Oh well, maybe next time!

:cool: peace

My first concert...I think was Jewel...that was in 1998

My first concert was last year, and I'm proud to say it was ev :), and it was THE most amazing concert I've ever seen (even if I have only been to 2 concerts, its still the bestest.)
The other concert I've been to is Green Day with New Found Glory and Sugarcult, I think it was. It was awesome too.
And in Septemeber I'm going to see Dream Theater with Megadeth, so that oughtta be cool.

My first concert was Vanessa Carlton and the Low Millions... Fifth row center... It was unbeliavable... *highlight of my life*

Hope you have fun at the concert! ~marina

My first concert was an Amy Grant concert (back when she was still singing Christian Music) back in 1984.

*hides and dies of sheer embarrasement*

my first concert was when I was 13 I saw savage garden

then smile empty soul

then evanescence

Ironically enough,the first like real concert I went to was see evanescence last summer !! Before that I went to a bunch of local metal shows but nothing big.

my first contert was el canto del loco when i was 10...

My first concert was "No Angels" when I was 10 years old..It was soo great because that was my favourite band :D ..But No Angels do not exist any longer..:( :( It was a german casting band..But it was the most successful german Girlgroup..

My fist concert was Costa Rican Rockfest

My first concert was a Kelly Family concert... I was 4 years old
... and my first rock concert was Ev :D

Heart (the first of the women rockers), circa 1982... or so. :cool:

My first concerts going to be Seether on the 22nd, and I can't wait!:D

My first concert was like 5 years ago, I saw the Backstreet Boys! :o

I saw Avril lavinge...in November I believe.....of last year....lost my voice but it was fun, I went with a friend and my mom....I was soooo tired the next day at school though. :D

My first concert was either The Bangles or New Kids on the Block when I was like 5-10 years old. Not sure of the exact age. But the first concert I really remember was Paul McCartney and only bits and pieces of that.

But I do remember the first time I saw Evanescence. Was about 2 or 3 years ago, when they appeared at Summerfest. I was so excited when I saw them I got all teary eyed, but in about the 3 song or so, we have to move further back because the crowd was too rough for my younger sister. So while I didn't actually get to 'see' everything, I heard it. Nothing compares to hearing Even in Death live! Ahhhh, memories......
