Um concerts this year.... ACDC was epic... Massive show 63000 people (which is very large for NZ) Also saw Faith No More (not really metal but do have some nice metal riffs/parts in their songs)
I went to see maiden last year, it was beautiful!! and by beautiful i mean soul crushingly awesome!
Saw Carcass in August, damn damn damn
Well, most of the stuff I listen to is underground, so you guys have probably never heard of them. I'm going to a thrash bash this saturday with all New Hampshire and Massachusetts groups. Killbeast, Manic Repressive and Skull Hammer are the 3 biggest bands playing, and there's a few more that I can't remember. Anyway, it's gonna be one wicked awesome wasted time! And as for crazy show experiences... Over this past summer I went to a thrash and d-beat gig at Unit 11 (R.I.P.) in Boston with my buds. Unfortunately, it was the last show before it was being torn down. So, we figured we'd give the demolition crew a hand... We started crowd surfing and grabbing onto the ropes hanging from the ceiling. From there we started swinging Tarzan style across the club and crashing into everyone. Pretty soon, there were about five of us per rope, and they snapped from the ceiling and we all fell right into the middle of the pit. Then, we had the great the idea of starting a tug-of-war match in the middle of a circle pit and smashing Colt 45's in the center. When I woke the next morning, the place was absolutely destroyed... footprints on the ceiling (idk...), man-shaped holes in the walls, vomit and blood everywhere, an inch of beer on the floor... it was great... There was a lot of beer, a lot of blood, and a lot of chicks. I was drunk for the next 2 days, hungover for the next 3, and bloodied, bruised and battered for a week. It was the best time ever!
about a year ago I got the privelege to see Megadeth, Testament and Exodus on the Rust In Peace: 20th Anniversary Tour Absolutely-frickin-beautiful.
