LOUD CONCERTS! ZZ Top, Bad Company, Cheap Trick

[Generic White Guy]

I think that several of you, including GingerKatt, should skip concerts / live music in the future...

[LadyAnastasia]

Eh well when your young there are plenty of bad music choices

My first concert was Heart, in Denver, with my step mom. It was awesome. I was 14.

I have friends that work the stage at a large music venue. They consistently wear ear protection. The musicians do too.

I can't remember the loudest concert I've been too as I've been in the pit many times.

My buddy had a Trans Am in the 70s decked out with all the latest Pioneer equipment. When cranked up all the way, you could scream at each other from a foot apart, and not hear. That was 40 years ago. Loudest environment I've ever been in. Now, in car audio contests, you have to remotely control the sound system from outside the car.

fucking Classic..

[Purlie Victorious]

Loudest concert was Engelbert Humperdinck. Those old ladies wouldn't stop screaming!

[GingerKatt]

Lol! Is ZZ Top from TX.? They were really good.
And sure some oldie bands are great. But it’s ALL he listens to, if house, his cars and hanger.
Kind of drives me crazy. I want to. see Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, and others.

But what the heck. I’ve got blue eyes and he liked them. “Sweet Child of Mine”....ohhh memories. I didn’t know anything about them then or now. And I want the Axel Rose as he was then! Not him now!

But I’m at the former Starplex with my guy and I’ll do anything for him. Even hurt my ears. And text all evening instead of standing up and screaming like the thousands of peeps here. Thank goodness they deliver alcohol. On my 2nd Long Island Ice Tea. Only 19 dollars! But I ain’t never paid for no drinks, lol!
No really, I don’t even abuse the credit cards in my name he gave me.

Bad Company was first. I wouldn’t call them bad. Wouldn’t call them good either.

Cheap Trick is next. Seriously!? I was a recent UT grad, and a colleague in my unit at the hospital had 2 tix and begged me to go. They were ok. But I thought they were older then! Wonder
what they look like now. We’re on a break for the roadies to change out instruments and lighting and all that stuff. Can’t go backstage and look around and be nosy with my man here, but I really don’t want to.

ZZ Top is after the Trick. I vaguely remember long beards and swinging guitars from MTV videos.

Anybody else like to go to concerts with the current stars of music?

We did go Elton John’s last tour concert, love him. But come on! He’s a classic . Loved him since my 20’s with “Midnight Cowboy” I think it was called.

But my man is a little older and I guess I understand he loves the oldies. I told him of course I’ll go to any concerts you want baby! I just didn’t realize these older bands were still touring. Oh well. I smell funny smoke too, imagine that. At a concert. Even a non smoking venue, lol!

Lights out, everyone standing up and screaming. But moi.

Later my Eccie peeps. Glad you’re here 24/7 for to vent my discomfort to.
Thanks.

my opinion about Axel Rose wasn't extremely high before your post, but you destroyed any semblance of good feeling I might have had

you were waiting for ZZ to play "Legs"? you are the ultimate casual fan. any real ZZ Top fan knows they went downhill after Deguello. the mass acceptance they achieved with Eliminator was after most fans had jumped ship.

in case you couldn't tell, "Legs" is completely lip-synched in concert. casual fans don't care, they want it re-created just like the video they loved with the long red beards, and guitars swinging back-and-forth. it's amusing to me, that people pay big money to see Fossil bands lip-synch and play to backing tracks.

I would listen to your music, Chung. I like all kinds but I want some variety in my music. And no, didn’t know peaked at Legs. And lip sync e I know nothing about them but Legs and their white beards and swinging around this guitars. I’ve got video and pics, I’ll put there in a couple day . And lip syncing!!
No, of course not. Right??

I would bet I listen to a greater variety of music than anyone on this Forum. hard rock/metal, pop, R&B, dance, Country, Jazz, Vietnamese. I put the letter "V" in Variety, the same as you do "Vagina"

Is ZZTop from Texas? I’d the a fuckin’ joke? Does a bear shit in the woods?

With albums babes like Rio Grande Mud, Tejas, Duguelo, Tres Hombes, etc. did you think they were from Nuevo León?

[Brot]

On a whim recently went and saw Yngwie Malmsteen at the Gas monkey. What lousy douche, he hit a note and held it that had everyone in the place covering their ears .

QUOTE=SchnellerFahrer;10614935 09]Loudest concert for me was FOREIGNER in the 80's. My goodness my head was ringing for 2 days.

I've seen a lot of great acts, but my #1 was PRINCE. What a showman, that guy had real talent, and the show as spectacular. Opening act Sheila E was fun, too.

These days, I watch a lot of Tribute Bands, like GTA (the Cars), Wild Boys (Duran Duran), Texas Flood (Stevie Ray Vaughan), Even it Up (Heart), Rush Tribute Project (Rush), PrimaDonna (Madonna), and the best I've seen here.........Back in Black (AC DC), amongst many others.

Learning the electric guitar, with luck I'd love to play backup with one of these groups one day, but don't think that's realistic at my age.

Oh what fun would it be to be a male groupie for PrimaDonna, LOL!

[/QUOTE]
I'm with you on TX Flood! They sometimes play at Amercan Eagle Harley.
I also really like Back in Black. They are tight!

[Grace Preston]

Nobody... NOBODY points out the fact that any lady that has been in this industry should not be waiting for "Legs" to play... they should be waiting for "La Grange"... SMDH

Damn kids.. get off my lawn!!

I'm disappointed in all of you.

You are awarded no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!!

ZZ Top - Jesus Just Left Chicago (hard to pick just one)
Bad Company - Shooting Star (everyone should own 10 from 6)
Cheap Trick - Surrender
