Ever been to a live concert?

[(Anonymous)]

What were the best? The worst?

Re: Ever been to a live concert?

[kaijinscendre]

My favorite was the Mumford and Sons festival I went to. Sure, the heat almost killed those British fuckers but they gave it their all.

The worst was Nine Inch Nails.

Best concerts I went to were Crowded House and Muse. Crowded House was an absolute blast and the crowd was so engaged and energized, and Muse's music fit in so perfectly at a place like Red Rocks. Coldplay were fun, too.

Can't think of any concerts right offhand that I've seen that I'd say were bad.

Lots in my lates teens and twenties.

The best was Aerosmith on the 'Get a Grip' tour, which surprised me because I'd just gone along with a friend for the hell of it and wasn't expecting to be wowed. They played a good mix of old and new, and their energy was something to behold.

My first concert was NKOTB, and I don't have fond memories of it. I wasn't really into them, and the performances weren't great. Also, I went with a bunch of girls I barely knew, and they weren't very nice.

Mixed result but I saw The Cure in concert and while they were amazing, the venue had terrible acoustics and it was full of stupid drunk dudes. Actually come to think of it most concerts I've been to where beer is sold had a problem with obnoxious drunk people.

David Bowie (twice) -- Both Thin White Duke and the Heroes tours were amazing.

Phillip Glass -- saw him at Northwestern University, in a place with incredible acoustics. It was as if we were listening to planets moving in their orbits. (When we came out of the concert, there a thick ground fog; the streetlamps had pink halos.)

Kodo - Saw them at Orchestra Hall. The music was't loud so much as visceral: I could literally feel the taiko drum beats in my sternum.

Stomp Out Loud - I think we saw this at a smallish venue in Milwaukee in the 90s, and it was just sheer delight. (As you can guess I am a sucker for percussion.)

Yoshida Brothers: They played at lunchtime at a small coffee shop (San Francisco or Washington, I can't recall) in 2004. I had no idea who they were, but bought one of every CD they had on the spot (they even autographed one!) They sounded every bit as fantastic in that small space as they did on the CD (presumably a studio recording). "Hayate" and "Kodo (Inside the Sun Remix)" still get heavy play.

Mostly classical music, not rock bands.

The most memorable concert was the one conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, and the worst was this modern experimental symphony that almost made my ears bleed with the high and loud noises.

Re: Ever been to a live concert?

I've been to a few concerts. My Chemical Romance was the best. So much energy, Gerard sounded better live than he did on the CD, and Frank jumped in the pit and I helped catch him. I was buzzing with energy long after the show ended. I've seen Green Day a few times and they always put on a really solid performance. The worst one I've seen was Fall Out Boy, but I think that was more the venue than the band because Patrick's voice is way better live than on the album, but the acoustics were terrible and my ears really hurt after the show. Plus, there wasn't a whole lot of banter between the band and the audience and I'm the sort of person who really loves banter.

I've only been to one concert, and it was a little emo band in a little club in my little Scottish town, but I had a great time dancing in the crowd. I think there's something really nice about seeing your favourite musicians up close?

However, I've been to a kpop fanmeet which is sort of like a concert with a few songs and more interacting with fans and that was terrible. The group was lovely (Got7, very nice guys) but the fans were the absolute WORST, all screaming and trying to grab the members. A little scary, honestly. But I think a lot of them were young, like high schoolers, and didn't realise they were being morons.

Hundreds. Mostly artists no one here has ever heard of. Most of them were when I worked in radio in my 20's and I'm 40 now so I don't remember most of them.

Lindsey Sterling did really know how to put on a show, that was recent enough that I remember.

Re: Ever been to a live concert?

[tabaqui]

Oh yeah. Best? Hrmmmmm.....Hard to say. Alice Cooper kicked ass *both* times. Ronnie James Dio was awesome. The Who was a blast because my brother and a bunch of friends were there, and Pink Floyd was...well...Pink Floyd. :D

All awesome for different reasons.

The worst was Metallica. Assholes.

Tori Amos touring for Little Earthquakes just before she made the jump to larger venues.

Re: Ever been to a live concert?

[(Anonymous)]

So many.

Bayside were great live, and there was a good local festival I loved before they changed the location one year and the planning went downhill. I think the worst was Guns N' Roses because of lateness and attitude. I went to a lot of violent stuff when I was a teenager too, so I've been stomped on and had ribs broken and gotten black eyes. I once got the train home in my bra because my shirt was ripped off and lost.

Secret sizes... do you have a preference?

[(Anonymous)]

Small, medium or large? Those of you who submit secrets, do you have a preference for how large or small you make them?

What are some of the most convoluted storylines you've put your Sims through?

Fic commissions?

[(Anonymous)]

I create both fanfic and fanart, though I am better known for fic. A couple times now, fandom friends have approached me, asking if I take commissions. I will say sure, assuming they mean art commissions, but it will quickly become clear they want a fic commission. Which is apparently a thing now? The first person who approached me didn't follow through, but the most recent one really wants to. I am a little weirded out by the whole idea, both legally and creatively, but I haven't said no yet and am waiting for more detail on their part before I decide. Why do people keep asking me this? Are fic commissions a thing now? Has anyone on here ever been on either side of this? What do I do FS?

Second Hand Embarrassment Threshold

[(Anonymous)]

Do you suffer from second-hand embarrassment? What is your threshold? How bad does it have to be before you explode from the shame? Or pass onto another dimension because no...no this is far too much!!!
