Going to my first real metal concert.

[revolutionomega]

Dude I've been to a bunch of shows now. Last month I saw Blood Red Throne, Enslaved and Dimmu Borgir was headlining it was suck a sick show. Some people had earplugs but they still moshed and were badass as hell, I should've worn them but nope I took further ear damage after the Deadmau5 concert two weeks before xD

On another note:

-Feb. I'm going to see Cannibal Corpse

-April I'm going to see Powerglove, Nevermore, Symphony X and more --> easily one of the most amazing shows I will ever go see in my life! (all you ffr'ers should be jealous)

I'm not jealous actually

First metal concert was Amon Amarth, such a good show they really played to the crowd. I also saw Chimaira and Soylent Green open for Dethklok, that show was just silly fun.
Couple months ago I saw Volbeat and I think that was the best show I've ever been to. I got punched in the face during one of the moshes and my buddies picked me up for a crowdsurf at the end. Haven't ever had that much fun in such a short time.

Yeah, neither am I to be honest lol. Nevermore had one good album that I really enjoy (This Godless Endeavor) and Symphony X is just a guitar wankfest in my opinion. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy your show.

I haven't seen any good shows in a long time. Last one I got to go to was The Black Dahlia Murder and Skeletonwitch. Great show. Just sucks that one good show comes through here every three years.

I'm jealous that you get to go to a bunch of concerts within such a short period of time. =P

i dont get how everyone is so stoked on deadmau5... i mean ya ok some of his songs are pretty good but an hr and a half of him mixing his own damn music and not moving just isnt all its cracked up to be

[Emo_Saur_]

I've listened to Deadmau5 once in my lifetime, I don't even enjoy his stuff. I realize this might be VERY biased since I have not given him a chance at all. I don't care though to be honest, like who you like I'm not going to change anyone's musical tastes. To be honest, the best show I went to was back in the day, like late '04 early '05. It was Haste the Day, at the throne of judgement, throwdown.

ATTOJ, hell yeah.

They have one song that has like 7 consecutive 808 hits, holy **** have I ever convulsed without having an actual seizure. Also, the main reason people go to concerts is to either listen to the music, or connect with other people who have somewhat the same interests in music they do. So I'm all for any concert that has even the ****tiest of ****ty bands/music. Sorry if I offended anyone who really enjoys Deadmau5 and went to one of his shows.

The only reason it seems awesome is because it's aalways at a club, with tons of chicks. Deadmau5 is repetitive as ****.

ah ya that would be fun. ive seen him a couple times but it was on huge stages and his sets were surrounded by better artists so that only made him look worse.

Awesome dude, I have been to a bunch like TDWP, Oceano, As Blood Runs Black, AGATG, Whitechapel, Blind Witness, Norma Jean, etc. and I can tell you some pointers...

1. DON'T get near the speakers up front unless you want your ears ringing for a day afterward.

2. DON'T let yourself get into the middle of a moshpit/wall of death unless you want to be pummeled by giant guys. Also watch out for crazy guys swinging their arms wildly with no regard to you or anybody else...these people are usually the cause of fights lol.

3.The front next to the stage, even though it seems tempting, is really rowdy and loud and unless you can deal with some shoving and crowd surfers I wouldn't suggest it.

4. I always stay around the middle on the edge of the moshpits, you can feel the action, get in the moshpit if you want, or have your own little 'area' and move around freely as you want. Much better than the congested front stage area X_X.

5. Generally the heavier the band the more brutal the people. I think you will be fine at a TDWP concert but if you ever find yourself at a Oceano/Whitechapel show watchout lol.

[EnR]

I do plan on going to a Whitechapel concert soon hahahaha, I'll stay away.

Like I'm not that small, I'm 5'6" but I'm 170 pounds.

[EnR]

Another thing should I buy the tickets ASAP? Or buy them when I get there or something?

Silverstein will also be there and I've never heard of them so :S

[hazard28]

Well depending on where the concert is at really. I live in South Carolina so the chance of it being packed here is...slim. However, if a concert is in Las Vegas than it is guaranteed to be overfilled. So depending on the size of the venue/city your attending is the answer to that question but if you want to be 100% sure then go ahead and buy in advance =P. Whitechapel rocks btw. You will enjoy the concerts if you like the music, that simple =3

[EnR]

Toronto, Ontario. Like 4.5 million people live there and this is the only time they're coming to Ontario, so :S

[LoneW0lf]

I'd get the ASAP all though there is always tickets there.

Whitechapel moshing was nuts, but Suicide Silence was so ****ing amazing.
And I want to see TDWP ):

This guy got it. If you want to try moshing, I suggest going into a circle pit first, then go from there, and don't be afraid to dodge any limbs coming towards you.

I actually saw TDWP this summer, even though I dislike them immensely, August Burns Red was playing too so I decided to deal. I didn't find the pits that bad at all, so I think you'll be good.

As for Silverstein, they don't play breakdowns at all ahaha, so don't even worry about them.

saw TDWP at the underground a few years back, they're not really my cup of tea but I didn't really mind them...haven't really ever been to metal show at a much larger venue

actually, come to think of it, I've only been to two larger venues...Rush at the Molson Amphitheatre (my first concert when I was 13) and then Joe Satriani at Massey Hall (played guitar with him backstage afterwards lmao platinum tickets passes )

but yeah, you'll definitely have fun breh
