Saw Obituary last October and it was epic. It was a pretty small venue and I was barrier from most of it. One of the tightest gigs I've ever been too. Terry Butler played on a 6 string fretless bass which takes insane levels of talent to do. They played with Pest Control and Celestial Sanctuary, both of which were absolutely insane as well. 

Did get my eyebrow piercing caught in a circle pit, that shit bled for days. Slipped in someones vomit moshing as well nd almost got trampled, 100% worth it tho. All part of the metal gig experience. 

Bought an inked in blood hoodie (still my fav hoodie i own), got hit in the head with a flying drumstick and got a fist bump off John Tardy at the end, absolutely insane night

PIERCE THE VEILLL OMG theyre my favorite band in the world and seeing them live was SURREAL, they are such good performers and brought a girl on stage and literally gave her a guitar!!! it was so cute i was literally tearing up, and then at the end they messed with us and pretended their show finished twice by turning on the lights and stuff after each "last song", then finished off with king for a day. also made some lifelong friends that night, it was so great :)

Death Grips back in June last year. Amazing experience. Waited 8 hours to see them and it was definitely worth the 30 minute performance!

id say the best show ive been to was probably the Misfits and Megadeth concert i went to in Florida a few months ago, even tho all i could afford was to be seated far from the stage, it was still an amazing show. especially since it was also the first time Glenn Danzig would perform with the misfits in florida since the 80s, and megadeth was great too

Dude best show hands down was when I saw Machine girl opening for The Garden. It was honestly the best time of my life and my intro into wayyyy more experimental and alternative music. I've been in love with Machine Girl and digital hardcore ever since.

the foo fighters taylor hawkins tribute concert in london, september 2022, is the best i have ever been to.

there were so many different artists and bands playing, to remember such an amazing musician. the full concert is on paramount+ i think - there are some clips on youtube too. it was so beautiful, but very sad too :(

My best concert I went to was actually a weekend festival called 'Green Man' that Happens annually. I went last year (2023) and saw some of my favourite bands like Jockstrap [Experimental/classical/Metal/Pop], Julie [Rock/Shoegaze], and Amyl and the Sniffers [Heavy Rock]. It was awesome.

The best show I went to probably pierce the veil because me and my sister got way up to the stage and at the end of the show, when Vic Fuentes through his guitar pick into the crowd my sister caught it :)

the best shows ive been to was probably pierce the veil and taking back sunday

the environment was so good in both and just bonding with the people around you who enjoy them as much as you do is such a good experience

I got to see Roger Waters with my dad during his Us + Them tour. The visuals and effects really made that show so in terms of effects definitely that one. 

However, I got to see my favorite band Foals last year which was a real treat. They are such a good band live, and I would recommend anyone to go out of their way to see them.

Last year I went to a Kendrick Lamar concert and omg. I'm normally not a big fan of the genre but I love his stuff and wow, the concert was out of this world. The stage, his presence, and the vibes were just so amazing, definitely in my top five.

I went to my very first punk show last month and... oh my god. it was freaking awesome!!!!

performing was a star-studded lineup of Waco locals. now, I'm not from Waco, but I'm close enough to it. anyways, the bands: Tuba Room, Dog Bite, Rewound, Rad Dragon, A Night Out, and Bedtime Stories. I only got to see the first three bands because my friends and I had to get back home before a certain time, but what I was able to see, I LOVED. I moshed for the first time during Rewound's last song. it was so cool, especially since it was a Halloween show and I was dressed as Patrick Bateman xD

safe to say I will find myself in Waco a lot more soon. by the way, if you like punk, definitely check out Rewound and Dog Bite. their stuff's available on Bandcamp.

i go to a lot of punk and local shows but the best concert was probably my first actual punk rock concert in portland with three of my friends. we went to see pinkshift and they were so awesome bc the whole venue was headbanging lol. mannequin pussy was the next band on the lineup and i stayed there because one of the friends i went with really likes them and i was really surprised to hear that they had heavier and faster songs than the one i heard beforehand. i got thrashed around in a mosh pit and i nearly lost hearing in my left ear for days it was perfect and i felt so alive

carach angren. they were just so theatrical, and honestly the best band that i saw that night. i wish that we wore corpse paint, but there wasnt anyone else wearing it either, so i guess it might be better that we didnt. 

too bad i went with a guy i didn't really like, but i wont bring him next time lol.

I've been to lots of shows and the best ones were always the local small punk (crust, grindcore, dbeat) shows. Local metal shows are great too but punk gigs have better moshpits

I saw Meshuggah last november and wasn’t super familiar with them before the show but their presence was amazing and the energy in the room was so charged. As a pretty tiny person I almost never get to go in the pit without risking significant injury but at this show people were mostly just jumping and lightly pushing so I was able to join in for the first time ever. 

I was kind of the forgotten child and very invisible in school. I never talked much and flew under the radar. To be jumping around with so many other people… i dont know how to describe it but for an hour or so i felt so REAL. I will never forget that show.

The Killers concert in 2019. They went to the Zoo Amphitheater in OKC. So It's all out in a big field on a hill. Halfway through the show there's thunder and lightning and then it starts raining, was a really euphoric experience and really boosted the atmosphere of the concert. They did have to end the show prematurely but it was still amazing to witness. Had a great time.
