Top 10 live gigs....

[one weak]

i would have gone to trey last fall, but i didn't feel like hanging out with my hippie friends. the smell often becomes too much for me.

[fireflyry]

lol

I have friends like that.They only use "organic non-perfumed" soap and wonder why I refuse to stand/sit down-wind from them.

2. smashing pumpkins 2000 (ann arbor mi, and a few days later dayton ohio...they

i love them too, ive kinda moved away, but they were one of my first REAL bands, and i still love all their work so much.

the smashing pumpkins (98)  once in the saddledome(calgary), and 2 days later at a local club, where i met billy and james Iha.

[fireflyry]

What's Billy like?

Seems like he would be quite a foreboding character to talk to.

[deathblow]

he was a relaxed/calm , and pleasant guy,  both him and james were in a really nice friendly mood,  i went up , told them what their music meant to me (in a non-creepy way) , and they politely thanked me , shook my hand, signed my t-shirt,  me and my bro sat at the table with the two , and a bunch of other people,  downed a brew, then the guys bounced.  amazing experience though.

[fireflyry]

Sounds wicked man.

I don't know about you but I always found it incredibly surreal meeting musicans I admire (so far Chino and Chi,Munky and David from Korn and briefly Maynard) as I always placed them in a different dimension of sound and media.It's strange to humanise it by meeting them.I also had cool experiences though, apart from Maynard....he's a crazy fish in a mad sea that one.

[deathblow]

dude it is really surreal... i couldnt believe i was smoking a joint with serj from system... i stepped back to think  about it , and i got too excited and sketched out, it was wierd.

yeah, that is a great list. i saw all of those shows also minus the Deftone-Taproot-Incubus show. luckily i got to see them on seperate occasions

[neutron liar]

this is so very hard so Im gonna do this, these shows are listed (no order or best of ever or anything) just because of that "Holy Shit" or "wow" factor involved.

Back to School Tour 11-11-00
Deftones, Incubus, Taproot

Pledge of Alligence Tour 10-12-01
Slipknot, SOAD, Rammstein, AHC, No One

Tool with Tomahawk 9-01-02

Amen 11-02-03

the Prodigy (last night) 3-20-06

and nearly half of all the MSI shows I've ever seen.


I've been to over 200 shows and soooo many should be listed, but these ones were ones with that really memorable special feeling.

[KingCrimson]

Sounds wicked man.

dude, what was maynard like? i wouldnt know what to say to that man. i probly wouldnt approach him if i saw him to be honest. id like to meet chino tho, he seems down to earth enough and approachable.. i may be wrong.

ive only met david pajo from slint. good times.

best gig i ever saw would have to be the mars volta, closely followed by the chili peppers in 02.

[fireflyry]

the Prodigy (last night) 3-20-06

Awesome!

Would love to hear a bit more about the show if you have the time.

[neutron liar]

the Prodigy (last night) 3-20-06

Awesome!

Would love to hear a bit more about the show if you have the time.

these were my comments on the Prodigy board I visit.

"Well, I was floored. My Prodigy cherry popped. Break and Enter was so myteriously perfect for an opener. Warning owned. Diesel Power was also very very cool.
Dead Ken Beats (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Big surprise for me. Hard prodigy beats and that magic of a Prodigy show was so sweet.

My only problem (my opinion) is that the new version of No Good just doesn't work for me. It just doesn't. I guess I just can't get past the original.

Two quick notes, Dead Ken Beats was tweaked. It has some more guitar and a couple of its samples were drawn out. So its like Dead Ken Beats version 1.5 right now. Also, Liam used the last half of the Padova Fill somewhere around No Good. "
