Pretty self-explanatory

@tody said in Music: Metal/Punk Rock:

… songs 'for no particular reason':

Now this post above makes sense.
Hope you both had a good one @Tago-Mago @tody

[tody]

@Aetas it was a good one!

My second time seeing Mujeres. I already know there will be a third – don’t know when but it will happen!

Nothing now for three whole weeks, then I’m done for the year!

Saw Spafford earlier in the week. These guys can really jam out! They took STP's Plush and jammed on it for 20 minutes. Highly recommend if they pass through your neck of the woods.

Metallica last week, then Tool in 3 weeks. Tool is the one I’m more excited for.

[Bridger]

Enjoy @Aussie-Ben

I have seen Tool at least half a dozen times.

While they don't have the charisma or showmanship of Led Zeppelin, I think they are the closest current band that have the talent of Zeppelin.

I will continue to see them whenever I can.

[Aussie Ben]

@Bridger that’s an impressive amount of attendances. They must be good then.
I’ve been listening to tool since I was 15 but this will be my first time seeing them live

[Bridger]

@Aussie-Ben I am in London and I have flown to Germany a couple of times to see them, makes for a good weekend away.

MJK always puts on a good show - you will enjoy it.

I recently got tix for APC next year in Brixton, which I am psyched about.

[Aussie Ben]

@Bridger I could only imagine how awesome it would be to just cross over to another country that is near by to experience such things. I’d be doing the same too

@Aussie-Ben I’ve seen Tool now on 3 separate occasions and hope to make it to more…always impressed with how tight they play together.

The first time I saw them was general admission and I stood behind someone smoking meth for just about the entire concert. He looked like he had a decent time, but was messed up pretty bad by the end of the concert…everything kind of fell apart for him when the mosh pit started…

Edit: Also reminds me of when I saw Pink Floyd…guy there was smoking weed the entire time and probably high on an hallucinogenic as well. He was so out of it that when his buddies caught his shoe laces on fire, that he didn’t know…a few of us ended up pouring some beer on his shoes to put it out.

[Mizmazzle]

@Aussie-Ben Tool has to be the top 2 loudest shows I’ve ever been to. The sound was incredible. Just so sooo loud!!

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Ended up rolling tissues and putting in my ears for that reason. My ears still rang for a day or two afterwards…

[TENDREL]

Meth mosh pit Tool concert combo is totally nuts

Saw them in San Francisco in 2016 - easily one of my favorite shows I've ever seen. They started with No Quarter, friggin sweet.

[Bridger]

Nice tip on smoking crystal meth @goosehd. I usually get down with special K for the pitt. Will give it a go.

[goosehd]

@Bridger I would have loved to know what was going through his mind at the time.

[Bridger]

I bet many many things @goosehd. Possibly more about Prison Sex than Sober.

[Aussie Ben]

@Mizmazzle I appreciate the heads up, I’ll organise some of the earplugs that are apparently designed for loud concerts.

[Aussie Ben]

@goosehd damn, Tool 3 times? I need to up the ante and get out there more

I reckon I’ve missed a lot of the concerts from what I believe to be the last great era of music.
Pearljam being another I wish I had seen.

As more Meth, apparently it was being used heavily at Metallica too. It’s a destructive and disgusting drug

[goosehd]

@Aussie-Ben I’ve lived in a few areas over the years where going to concerts was easy, not to mention not having kids at the time.

Since we’ve moved to a quieter part of the world and had kids, going to concerts is way more work.

I went to my first live concert in 16 years this fall and enjoyed every minute of it…

I do miss seeing bands live, but finding time and money to do so (holy hell did they ever get expensive) is way harder to do than in my youth.
