Mercury69 3 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Just personal preferences ... I highlighted those in your list that I would pass on.To paraphrase Infectious Grooves: "We're not here to judge you, you want judgin', call Judge Judy, bitch!"It'd be cool to have an afternoon to talk about some of your highlighted ones, if only to widen your mind a tad...Hey, it's all personal, yo!

Theraflu 1,035 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I've been to a bunch of warped tours and River Raves, with all sorts of bands: Marilyn Manson, Aerosmith, Stone Temple Pilots, Cypress Hill, Mighty Might Bosstones, Godsmack, Static-X, AFI, Pennywise, NOFX, Dropkick Murphys (2 St. Patty's Day show, which were amazing), and tons of other punk bands. Tool 4 or 5 timesPiebald/Cave In 2 or 3 timesLocal guys Tree and the Damn Personals about 4 timesHot Water MusicFear Factory/AtreyuReel Big FishAFI soloViolent Femmes/Presidents of United States/StellastarWhite StripesCave InSay Anything on a Foxwoods trip while they were playing at Yale, even though its 90 minutes awayClipse (Wamp Wamp, Trill)I'm just realizing how many local shows I've gone too that I can't even remember who I saw. And it's not because I was drunk, but because friends didn't want to go to the show alone.I'm sure there are more, but it seems like most of the good bands I've seen have been at festival type shows. So be it. Link to post Share on other sites

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 very nice list..how was the bjork show?The bjork show was cool, it was just after her last album. The first half was pretty mellow and was somewhat theatrical. It was her standing on stage singing ballads with a guest appearance by Antony. Then she really turned things on in the second half beginning with Army of Me, and it became very heavy and rocky. It was pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites
