- Tool, at the Canberra Theatre in 2002

I was at that gig and oddly enough, thats my favorite as well...

1. Tool - above mentioned venue

2. Nightwish - Sydney 2005
They played a reeally awesome cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes", the whole crowd was singing all the way through, was a really good atmosphere, hard to describe.

3. The Mars Volta - Sydney Big Day Out 2006
 One of the only reasons I went to BDO, did not dissapoint, played an absolutely monstorous version of "Drunkship of Lanterns"

4. Alchemist / Daysend - ANU Bar 2003
I've seen Alchemist more times then I can remember, this was probably my favorite gig of theirs, it was the launch of their "Austral Alien" album.

5. Impaled Nazarene - Canberra 1999
One of the first metal gigs I went too really enjoyable.

I think I've only been to five, but just to be sure :p

1) Audioslave, Indianapolis, Out of Exile tour. Opener: Seether. This got me into seether, realising that a lot of the songs I already heard on our local 'alternative' (el oh el) stations were actually by them. I really did like the stuff. And I'm just totally gay for Tom Morello and his Guitar, so that r0xx0red ... plus they played 'killing in the name' and an acoustic 'black hole sun' :D

2) Nine Inch Nails, St Louis, With Teeth tour. Opener: Queens of the Stone Age. QotSA are like twelve, but not bad music. NIN was amazing, and I'd only heard With Teeth at the time.

3) KT Tunstall, Nashville, some tour she's wrapping up now. Opener: Some shitty emo band with really basic knowledge of music. All I know is it was so-and-so and the god damn band, so avoid anything with 'the god damn band' unless you like to bleed from the ears. KT however is bloody amazing, doing her loop pedal thing, and she did a cover of Bonnie Raitt. BONNIE RAITT! and I LIKED IT WTF. Problem was we had to leave early, as my lady was sick. That's what bumped this down from two.

4) Dashboard Confessional, St Louis, Honda Civic tour 2004. Opener: Motion City Soundtrack, Get Up Kids, Thrice. MCS rock and have WAAAAAAAY too much energy to not be drinking a case of BAWLS a night. Dashboard despite teh whiney emo shitness of the music, was very good. This was before the god-awful spider-man thing ... in fact this is where I first heard that song. Downsides: teenage girls don't understand encore breaks, aka fake endings, as Chris Carraba called it.

5) Taking Back Sunday, Birmingham, West Midlands, UK. No idea who opened, because due to a lack of available transport, this particular concert went unattended by me. Which means I'm still owed 10 god damn pounds by the girl who bought the tickets for us. but paying 10 quid to not see TBS was better than paying ANY money to see

negative infinity) Slipknot, Evansville, IN, We're A Bunch Of Talentless Bitches Who Wear Masks And Beat The Shit Out Of Our Instruments And Call It Music Tour. Opener: As I Lay Dying Of A Papercut Due To My Haemaphilia I Scream A Lot And Try To Convince People To Buy Recordings Of It. I went to this because of a girl. Got no sex in compensation. Girl took me for $700 and left me for a half japanese half black goth hardkore guitarist who she is NOT with at the moment in favour of some cliche butch lesbian. I'm not bitter. I promise.

That's six, but five technically doesn't count as I never went to it :mrgreen:

ImRonBurgundy?:
Man, The Get Up Kids opening for Dashboard Confessional and Motion City Soundtrack?  That's a travesty, especially considering MCS is just a watered-down direct rip-off of The Get Up Kids' style.

And you went to the concert based on that album? Or was it more fot QotSA?

Der Turm, der Leute frass:

And here's another one. This was just brilliant. They had no keyboards, so tracks like Psalm 69 turned into complete monsters. I was rocking out with this group of people I'd met there around the middle of the crowd, and I think the highlight was during 'Thieves', as the whole crowd pumped their fists and chanted along to the sample..."KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!...YOU WILL NOT KILL!"
