Smash Mouth

[phil19]

Bodyjar

[voncorn]

These guys back in '02. (http://www.souldoutquartet.com/#) They're a Christian cover band or some shit.

The first handful of legitimate groups I saw (though I use the word legitimate very loosely here) was at the Nintendo Fusion Tour '06 (Hawthorne Heights, Relient K, The Sleeping, Emery, Plain White Ts). Only went for the opportunity to play the Wii before it was released, although Emery impressed me and I have been a fan since.

[liar23]

[GuitarR0cker1]

Hawk Nelson 2 1/2 years ago, not something I am proud of.

I went to that show

[Coh33d]

Dropkick Murphys and The Casualties. Pretty good show too.

[Matthew Tsai]

i believe it was barlowgirl some time back

[Matthew Tsai]

Hawk Nelson 2 1/2 years ago, not something I am proud of.

[identitycrisis2]

Hanson.

[Rawrr]

Blink 182 when I was 8.

[andrewshungry]

[sodamnclever]

NSYNC.
I'm not going to lie, it was pretty awesome.

[Rawrr]

It was saves the day on half, Jimmy eat world on half.
I got the JEW portion.

[Juturna25]

something corporate/yellowcard/format tour back when i was in 8th grade. amazing.

[xtheaudition]

god i wish i had gone to this. and i thought it was jimmy eat world and not simple plan.
simple plan opened the whole tour. saves the day did the east coast shows where i was, and jimmy eat world played west coast shows. i was bummed cause i prefer jimmy over saves but nonttheless my first and best concert ive ever been to.

[domotime2]

technically the first band I ever saw life was.... the Dickies, but I came half way through...

so to me, the first band I saw an entire set of was Lit (2002)

[swirlofhues]

wilco with incubus at some fest.

[Angry Tom]

Lit


and then I saw them a few more times after that... amazing band to catch live-- I recommend them highly, but they aren't doing many shows lately since their drummer has that brain tumor....

[Apoc]

The Who. Right after Entwhistle died. Robert Plant opened for em and actually played Zeppelin stuff as opposed to his solo stuff, which I didn't realize was a blessing.

At 13 years old that was the best show EVER

[DarkOne]

weird al at six flags...

[Cuddleworthy]

weird al at six flags...

NITRO, FRONT ROW. FUCK YEAH.

[morgan_w]

did bad religion play before fenix tx?

I can't remember, too long ago haha

[Apoc]

NITRO, FRONT ROW. FUCK YEAH.
i'm pretty sure I did that like thirty times.
it never got old.

[Cuddleworthy]

i'm pretty sure I did that like thirty times.
it never got old.

I wish I could do that 30 times. You can usually sneak a coupe rides in at the beginning of the day if you get there early, but eventually the masses arrive and you're stuck waiting for some time. Maybe you caught a good day or something.

[Kyle Huntington]

Rage Against The Machine in '99 or something.

The Who. Right after Entwhistle died. Robert Plant opened for em and actually played Zeppelin stuff as opposed to his solo stuff, which I didn't realize was a blessing.

At 13 years old that was the best show EVER

That sounds awesome.

[xrawrritsalex]

HAHA omg. Three Dog Night, or something like that. I was only five, so I don't really remember.

First REAL memory was going to the BamboozleLeft festival this year.

[Kyle Huntington]

HAHA omg. Three Dog Night, or something like that. I was only five, so I don't really remember.

First REAL memory was going to the BamboozleLeft festival this year.

I would have loved to have seen "One" performed live, but I guess if you were 5 you wouldn't remember. Great song.

[xrawrritsalex]

i'l be sure to check that out when i can think a little more clearly :]

[Freeride]

[cscwell107]

[pilot_light_out]

98 degrees

[OdeToTheSun]

Next big thing? Yeah, I think that was nbt6, but I could be wrong. I think this year's is poo.
Yep, it was NBT6. This year definitely isn't poo. Jack's Mannequin? Check. Ludo? Check. Anberlin? Check. The only shit bands this year are A7x, Atreyu, and RJA.

[Mxbaby511]

Sad to say... The first band, or singer for that matter, Was Avril Lavigne.
This was way back when I listened to Q94, The local pop station.
But I still like her I assume.

[Scott Irvine]

The Wallflowers.

[Justin_stacy]

that I'm willing to admit.....Supertones in the basement of a dilapidated church, which legally probably held 100 people but had 300 or 400 people crammed in on this night.

[B-Bones]

Slick Shoes was my first real show, that is, as far as a show goes that was not at my church.

[matthewpaul]

something corporate/yellowcard/format tour back when i was in 8th grade. amazing.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Yep, it was NBT6. This year definitely isn't poo. Jack's Mannequin? Check. Ludo? Check. Anberlin? Check. The only shit bands this year are A7x, Atreyu, and RJA.
I guess you're right. Those are great bands, but the venue is a turn off for me and the rest of those bands are okay. I guess I just miss it being at Coachman park.

[mynameiscarterr]

311. Ha!

[nkalldayyy]

matchbook romance... lol.

[Kbm600]

Didn't get out a lot, so unfortunately my first 'show' (or concert in this case) actually turned out to be the Projekt Revolution the year before this one. Most of the bands blew, but I really enjoyed Placebo and The Bled.

[makeasound]

The annoying four part answer:

First concert I went to was Paul McCartney in 1990.

First boy "band" was *Nsync in 1999.

Technically the first actual band I saw was Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young in 2000.

First rock bands were Deadsy, Static-X, Staind, Linkin Park, and Stone Temple Pilots at Family Values Tour 2001.

[mellzie14]

[OdeToTheSun]

I guess you're right. Those are great bands, but the venue is a turn off for me and the rest of those bands are okay. I guess I just miss it being at Coachman park.
I actually like the Ford Amphitheatre, but of course I never went to any of them at Coachman Park so that probably was better. Which ones did you go to?

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Next Big Thing 3-5. I think three was the best one, or maybe four. Fuck.

[OdeToTheSun]

Next Big Thing 3-5. I think three was the best one, or maybe four. Fuck.
Holy crap! 3 had Something Corporate and LTJ! 5 seems like it would have been the best line-up wise.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Holy crap! 3 had Something Corporate and LTJ! 5 seems like it would have been the best line-up wise.

Yeah I know, SoCo kicked ass that day. Actually, the first three Nbts had SoCo. I also remember the Ataris were playing too. AFI and Dashboard headlined.
I think you're right. Five had a great line up.

[OdeToTheSun]

[robat19]

I saw Garth Brooks when I was like 5. Good Charlotte was the first time I really went to a show by myself, when I was 13.

[envi]

The first band I ever saw was at a local show in my town, with a band called "The Stimulus," when I was like, 12. My dad's coworker's son and daughter were in it, so dad took me, and I've been going to shows since. I think some cover band opened for them, and for some reason the name "The Sex Pistols" is sticking in my head, but I'll never remember. =/ Maybe they were a Sex Pistols coverband. Or maybe they actually called themselves "The Sex Pistols."

The first concert I went to that people might've actually heard about was Sum 41 (With openers Autopilot Off and Goldfinger). They came right near my friend's birthday, so I bought her tickets. I enjoyed it then, but looking back, I really wish I hadn't spent so much money on Sum 41, even if I still enjoy Goldfinger.

[GoodSausage]

The first gig i went to on my own was The Kerrang TOur in 2005 i think.

Was Aiden, Hawthorne Heights, Still Remains and BFMV.

Looking back on it I was a retard a few years ago.

Though to be fair i never wanted to see aiden or HH.

[bobcatbob18]

Runrig was the first live band I went to see but the Manic Street Preachers were the first 'proper' band I saw live. Fantastic they were too!

THey were pretty awesome then. I remember that they were the first band up and they had to fill in because Bayside cancelled, and I loved that they were all wearing matching outfits including short shorts. haha

[boykosaurus]

My first concert was the Y100 Feztival in Philly. I can't remember which band I saw first, but Smash Mouth (old stuff), Offspring, Everclear(?), and a bunch of others were there. The night closed with Barenaked Ladies and they were excellent.

I saw BB King when I was like...8 or something. But my first actual band I saw was Darkest Hour. I think I've seen them over 10 times by now though, they come to D.C. a lot. I saw them again last night.

Bruce motherfucking Springsteen. But I was in 4th grade and hated every minute of it because it was loud and I was tired and not that interested in the music.
