Jaye 36 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 My whole life I have been a huge lover of music and live events. I've been fortunate enough to experience a lot of cool bands and DJs with some highlights being the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Guns & Roses, Chase & Status, Blink 182 and The Offspring to name a few. What are your experiences? Who are some artists you've seen that you loved or hated? And what kind of stories do you have? Mine has to be a festival. Growing up I was a huge festival goer in my later teenage years and New Year festivals were the craze. New Zealand is a small country but is riddled with events from top to bottom over the summer New Year period. The biggest of them all is a festival called Rhythm & Vines. The beauty of this festival is that it is held in a small city called Gisborne; and it is the first place in the world to see the New Year sunrise. Youngsters flock far and wide to attend and often the population of Gisborne (38,000) doubles with 30,000 people arriving for a 3 day party. So as a young 18 year old back in 2011, it's no surprises that it is one of my most fondest memories. To see what the festival has become today is awesome and I encourage anyone to attend if you're ever down under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanzant 1,383 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Probably Sarsfest in 2002 I believe. I was 16 years old and with all the classic rock bands there AC/DC rolling stones, rush etc. Massive crowds and topless women dancing in the mud was a great time lol 1 Quote Not sure if you heard. I was leader of The BlacKnights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Man 1,348 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Seeing Blink in 2012 just after they'd reformed would have to be up there for me. Slipknot in 2016 was definitely a great one as well. If I had to pick my all time favourite I think it would have to be seeing Spanish Love Songs/Hot Mulligan September of last year. Two incredible sets. Sadly Hot Mulligan's was cut short due to a spastic jumping into the crowd and knocking himself out and injuring other people. The clip below won't play for me but the frame at the start tells the tale enough. I went to my first festival last year (Slamdunk). The bands were incredible but they'd really oversold tickets and getting around the site was a total fucking disaster. It would take a killer lineup for me to pay to go again.

Isndar 229 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Malaysia sucks when it comes to live shows, so many metal bands wont be allowed to do their live shows yet they once allowed pussy cat dolls to shake their asses to the masses... 1 Quote OTP | Barrow Slayerz | RIP Peck | Beach Bros Unit 🇲🇾 Spoiler Walk Here Isndar (level-126) / 3 more options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby 67 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I went to a Boys Like Girls concert a few months ago that was really good. I'm going to an AJR concert next week that I'm pretty excited for and have a few concerts this year that should be awesome. A Train/REO Speedwagon concert and Simple Plan/Avril Lavigne concert specifically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
