JakeStallion: Going To My 2nd Concert Ever Tomorrow...Creed.

manicmonkey 04.20.12	with arms wide opan
Trebor. 04.20.12	I saw them, they're all right
CoolCalmJD 04.20.12	not the biggest creed fan but mark tremonti is a pretty cool guitarist. still love to play that six feet from the edge song on guitar
JakeStallion 04.20.12	@manicmonkey They're playing the entire Human Clay album, so With Arms Wide Open will be there.
JakeStallion 04.20.12	I loved Creed as a kid/preteen, so I still have quite a soft-spot for them. Their latest album kinda sucked, save for a few songs, but I still go back and jam out to their old stuff every once in a while. ONE, OH ONE. THE ONLY WAY IS ONE.
KSK1 04.20.12	I'd rather not go to a concert than see Creed but to each his own I suppose.
JakeStallion 04.20.12	@KSK1 Like I said, a lot of people dislike Creed but I have a soft spot for them. Plus, the tickets were cheap since my cousin's husband is one of the head guys at the venue they're playing at.
ZilbelPing 04.20.12	My first concert was 3 years ago and I've been to many since. I saw three about a month ago and they were pretty alright. Have a good time man.
JakeStallion 04.20.12	@ZilbelPing Thanks man! It's unfortunate that the best bands that come around here are AC/DC and Creed. Tool had a concert here not too long ago, but the tickets sold out within hours, before I was even able to look them up :(
JakeStallion 04.20.12	@Systemunfolded Dammit...I mean't NOT often.
Gmork89 04.20.12	Creed was my first concert back in the day, they are great live. Seen them a few times.
JakeStallion 04.20.12	@Systemunfolded I agree. There were only a few songs (Overcome, A Thousand Faces, Suddenly, Rain) that impressed me. The rest of the songs were pretty boring or too same-y to really enjoy.
Blackbelt54 04.20.12	Unless you're south of like Maryland I would think youd get a lot of shows on the east coast
JakeStallion 04.20.12	@Blackbelt54 I live in a small town in Rhode Island, so the closest place to me that gets any decent bands is about an hour away in Connecticut at the Mohegan Sun Arena. That's where the Creed concert is at. Most other bands that perform there are either bands that I don't know or bands that I don't particularly care for.
Blackbelt54 04.20.12	Oh ok an hour drive isn't awful but I wouldn't go that far on a regular basis for shows, I understand
bonus 04.20.12	Problem is the first concert you saw will be tough to beat. AC/DC use to put on quite a show. Don't worry about what other people think about the music you like. Concert tickets are a major fucking investment these days. Don't let other people take away from the experience.
JakeStallion 04.20.12	@bonus I've never been a fan of AC/DC, but I must admit that it was one hell of a show. They really got the fans involved and it was just a great experience. The final solo for Let There Be Rock was extended by about 20 minutes and throughout it, Angus was traveling in and out of the crowd while playing. It was awesome.
YankeeDudel 04.20.12	WHOS GOT MY BACK NOW?
swallowtales 04.22.12	This thread turned out differently than I expected from the description, weird.
AtomicShane 04.22.12	lol creed. +1 for diggin erra though!
Hubcool 04.22.12	Dude, fuck 'arena' shows seriously, outdoor festivals/clubs/bars is where it's at, tbh I don't see how you can stay on your ass during a music concert.
AtomicShane 04.22.12	^ moshing to creed ftw
Hubcool 04.22.12	Ofc, it implies seeing something else than Creed lol
Butkuiss 04.22.12	My first concert was Parkway Drive, closely followed by Them Crooked Vultures. A friend of mine had it right when he said that "Parkway Drive concerts are a rite of passage for Australian blokes. Instead of a bar mitzvah we have the breakdown in Boneyards". Also, Dead Letter Circus are fucking AMAZING live.
AtomicShane 04.22.12	yeah i understood, just cant pass up a creed joke!
rockandmetaljunkie 04.22.12	ugh creed
AtomicShane 04.22.12	i wana see parkway so bad live, but they never come to the states
ZombicidalMan 04.22.12	Drove 800KM to Vancouver to see The Ocean and BTBAM together, was honestly completely worth it. Now I'm not a huge fan of either, but I'm still glad I went. Now this summer I'm going to Iron Maiden with my dad, must say I'm stoked about that. The one band we both love...
JakeStallion 04.22.12	The concert was actually really awesome! Creed is surprisingly good live. They played with a lot of energy and the songs were spot on, with even a few improvised solos here and there by Tremonti :) @sonictheplumber ow meanie :( @Hubcool I actually front row seats, so I stood up against the guard rail the entire time. @Butkuiss You're so lucky! I was supposed to go see Fair To Midland with Dead Letter Circus this past Wednesday with my girlfriend but I ended up getting into an accident a couple days prior so I wasn't able to make it :/
anarchistfish 04.22.12	my second concert ever was Brand New
JakeStallion 04.22.12	@AnarchistFish That must've been awesome!
anarchistfish 04.22.12	oh yeah
Hubcool 04.22.12	Fighting for the guard rail is even funner! :p But yeah, the important point is, if you enjoyed arena concerts, make sure to try the others too one day
iFghtffyrdmns 04.22.12	lol
JakeStallion 04.22.12	@Hubcool Hopefully once I get out of school and get a decent paying job, I'll be able to go to a lot more concerts! @iFghtffyrdmns Thanks for your feedback!
