I've been to a concert on every Weezer tour so far. :) And they were all awesome!!! Like when Foo Fighters opened for them. :)

My faves were Nirvana back in the nevermind days and The Presidents of the USA in a small small place in New Orleans. :)

Wow.

Dropkick Murphys 3 times, Less Than Jake, The Living End, The Briggs, The Mad Caddies.

Aiming to see this year: Reel Big Fish, Rise Against, Anti-Flag, Flobots, Dropkicks again if they play, Flogging Molly if they play.

Dropkicks play like once a year in Scotland, usually easy to get tickets for, but we'll have to see for this year. Not sure when Flogging Molly are playing next.

Woo a ska fan! I've seen Reel Big Fish twice in concert. Good stuff! If you like the Living End i'd check out the Phenomenauts, they kinda a sci-fi themed punkabilly, as well as checking out Streetlight Manifesto. One of the best third wave ska bands, if not -the- best.
 
I've seen ACDC, U2, Nickelback with Three Days Grace (twice), Nelly Furtado (free backstage passes, as my cousin was lead guitar), Theory of a Dead Man, Prozzak (cousins band) and Philosopher Kings (several times, again, cousins band)..

:)

I envy you and hate you.

D:

Anyways, I've seen the current musicians in concert:

THE MARS VOLTA!!!!! They performed at a Caf? in Old San Juan were the Puerto Rican guitarist of the band used to visit. I JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE THERE, cause I hang out in Old San Juan a lot. One of the greatest nights of my life, oh my god...

LATIN REGGAE FESTIVAL earlier last year....OH. MY. GOD.
THE WAILERS. GONDWANA. CULTURA PROFETICA. LOS CAFRES.

:D!!!

THE POLICE. :] Enough said.

Iron Maiden
Dream Theater (Twice, actually...)
Between the Buried and Me
Papa Roach
Lifehouse (LOL, I got the tickets for free and took out this friend of mine on a date.)
Korn
The Rolling Stones (Just freaking awesome.)
Scorpions
Def Leppard
Aerosmith
Guns N' Roses
Van Halen (This concert was kickass, with excesive swearing and crude, sexual humor.) XD
Rush
Santana
Robi Draco Rosa
Calle 13
Juanes
Tommy Torres
Juan Luis Guerra
Shakira (Hips don't lie, especially live.)
Ednita Nazario
Ricky Martin (Don't ask...I was like 7....LOL)
Caf? Tacuba
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
La Secta All Star
Black Guayaba
Skapulario
Le?n de Jud?
Man?
Paul Van Dyk (I got so wasted, I only remember half and I just have to say the concert ruled.
DJ Tiesto (OMG, TWICE. $@$#%&@ TECHNO PARTY = AWESOME.)
David Guetta
Bob Sinclair
Paul Oakenfold
Chris Rock (Not really a concert, but you have no idea how much I LOL when he came here.)

Facts:

The Mars Volta performing at that Caf? was like, holy [censored]. I can't express how awesome it was just seeing them at a local cafe, a place unknown to the world but known to locals.

The Latin Reggae Festival held earlier last year was freaking amazing. All of my current favorite Latin Reggae bands performed and other bands as well. :]

As you can assume, most of the bands there that are from the 70's, 80's or early 90's were in their greatest hits tour or reunion tours (like The Police concert or the Scorpions concert). xD

Musicians or bands which names that are in Spanish are either famous local bands from here or famous Latin musicians around the world who have had concerts here.

Chris Rock was hilarious. I laughed my ass off. XD

I have gone to like 6 techno concerts in the course of 2 years.

P.S: I plan to go and see Santana again this March, he's coming back to Puerto Rico. :D

... Do you have any $$ left over after all these?!

Let me just say, saving over the years pays off...

Anyways, a lot of concerts there were in like 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, etc. Not all of them were last year LOL, I'd be living on the streets.

The Latin Reggae Festival was just like $20....allthough I blew like $40 on beer and other stuff :X

The Mars Volta live performance at a Caf? was free, my brotha. :D

Usually most of the money I make at my part time job at a local Comic Book store I save it for concerts, pay my internet, comic books or large events like parties, only time I get video games is like two, three times a year. My birthday, Christmas & Three Kings. If I buy a game during the year it has to be Cheap or on some discount, otherwise I usually just buy stuff like games like every 7 to 8 months. xD

I also saw Clapton... I forgot about that for obvious reasons.
 
I'm really debating whether or not to go to Bonnaroo this year. I went to the first one and after it I said I'd never go to another camp out concert fest again. Too many people, just too hot, and I have a real problem with porta-potties.....but this years line up is looking reaaaaally good.

Bruce
Phish
David Byrne
Elvis Costello
Al Green
Booker T
Wilco
Snoop
Beasties
and more of course

I wanted to see Bruce when he came to town and was planning on trying to hit a Phish show for nostalgia (I've seen them around 50 times and started in '94. Most of the shows of theirs that I've seen were 94-96). Then you add in Al Green and really, I'm sold. Everyone else is just icing. I don't know if I can handle the 3 days outside with portapotties again. Camping out in the woods is one thing, and I love it. Camping in a dirty parking lot full of hippies is a whole other ordeal.

Anyone been to a really good concert? I have been to Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, and Weird Al... Only 17 :( I was born in the wrong generation. My life goal is to seem these guys live someday. This looks like a freaking party...

I'd love to be to a real Pink Floyd concert but they aren't around anymore.

Australian Pink Floyd is pretty sweet though.

I've also seen AC/DC
Elton John
The Pillows (Twice in their homeland, once here in the US)
Ayumi Hamasaki (Just once back at that A-Nation thing. Not a good place for a xenophobe but it was still pretty cool.)
And an obscure band that I doubt has made it yet; OmegaB**ch (A sort of DarkWave band that my friend Miranda started. That's why I doubt anyone here knows who they are :D)
 
Here's my awful Floyd story.

In the spring of '94 I was a freshman in college. Driving to class one morning, they announced that bracelets were being handed out for the lottery on getting Pink Floyd tickets to The Division Bell tour.

For you youngsters, we weren't able to just jump online and get tickets years ago. We'd have to go line up really early in the morning at a record store or some similar place and many times we'd just party out in the parking lot all night in line waiting to get tickets, much like your Black Friday thingies of today. Well cops and stores got sick of this so they started handing out randomly numbered bracelets earlier in the week so you could just show up teh morning of and line up according to a number drawn.

Anyway, so I had to get a bracelet and drove to Rose Records to pick mine up. Showed up late to class and my Philosophy teacher asked why I was late. I just had to be honest about the Floyd tickets and he completely understood.

So the Rose Records employee said we had to be there for the number drawing at 9:00 and tickets would go on sale at 10. I showed up at 8:30. At 8:45 they drew the random number and I was set to be 4th in line. I was so dang happy. So I go to claim my spot in line and a bunch of people in their 40's and older refused to let me into my spot in line. Claiming "Hey dude, we've been here all night, you can't just show up and get in line" and physically pushed me out of line. I explained to the silly people that the reason we had bracelets was so we didn't have to wait out all night and I was there on time. Then they started with all the "you're not a real fan, you're just a kid and don't deserve to see Floyd". I grabbed the Rose Records employees, they didn't care. I grabbed a cop, he didn't care. When it came time for my 4th spot in line I was shoved out of the door by a bunch of people that would have been behind my rightful spot in the line.

I was unable to buy tickets and did not get to see the show. Boo.
 
Bonnaroo set up a killer lineup this year with phish playing 2 shows(1 is a late night!). Cant wait for it, I'm getting my ticket soon lol its probably gonna sell out pretty quick this year.

Yeah, I'm hoping to just take advantage of some goofy hippie that needs money on craigs list or something if I end up deciding to go. Odds are they'll sell out. I've got some good Pollock's to sell/trade if need be. I don't even have them up anymore so I don't mind trading them for tickets. That's kind of what I was planning to do to get tix for me and friends to Alpine if we go to that show.
