Going to my first real metal concert.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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' go see BDM. I actually am jealous since I do like Nevermore and Symphony X.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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.

plur beezys dig deadmau5 and i dig plur beezys

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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

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

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

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.

Re: Going to my first real metal concert.

I would do anything to see Between the Buried and Me live.

seen 'em twice and chilled with Tommy and Paul backstage after their set

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

TDWP puts on an amazing show dude. Also, between the buried and me live is insane. They play on 8 strings if I remember correctly.

I've picked up a bunch of their songs on guitar and I think I only encountered one tab for seven strings (roboturner--and the tab was wrong as hell lmao)

Dusty and Paul are both playing 6 string PRS's now anyways iirc

and yeeeeee smitty, my first guitar teacher got me really into necrophagist and we went to one of their shows together
(too bad they can't play live for shit lmao)

I've been really getting into djent lately...you guys should go check out cloudkicker, textures, or periphery if any of you guys are into meshuggah and that sort of jazz~

I don't even like DWP, I'm going just for the fun of going to a concert.

I wanna see the following:

All Shall Perish(Even though my favorite drummer, Matt Kuykendall quit)
As I Lay Dying
BTBAM
Black Dahlia Murder
Dream Theater
Lamb of God
Liquid Tension Experiment, or any one of Mike's side projects.
Mastodon
Muse
Nevermore
Rush
The Sword
Tool
Whitechapel

Those are pretty much the ones I wanna see the most
