Going to my first real metal concert.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

Is there anything I should avoid? I'm already one to not mosh (my friend will though, he always does, and it's funny because he's a dude that averages 90's in university, is going for his level 10 in piano and is preppy as ****.

If you don't want to mosh, then you can stand on the outside and nobody will mess with you. But if you want to get up close to the band you're gonna have to mosh, so be prepared.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

Yeah, I usually go there to enjoy the music, so I stand off on the edge of the pit. There's always a few jackasses that like to come flying at random parts of the crowd, but you'll see it coming. Kick them in the chest when they get close.

There's really nothing to avoid. Bring a little extra money if you want merch. Merch is always a lot cheaper at shows. You can usually get a CD/T-shirt combo for $20, which is nice.

Also, I had no idea The Sword put out a new album this year. I've been listening to it on myspace for the last twenty minutes, holy ****. SO GOOD. I just two-day shipped the album to myself. Can't wait.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

I lost my hearing at a Prodigy concert once. Also, if you know for sure that there will be a mosh, make sure to bring along shoes you don't care about, haha.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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_** · 12-6-2010, 12:28 AM

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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.

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 ****.
