HUSKER 37 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Went to Mayhem Fest last summer: In Flames, Unearth, Trivium, All Shall Perish, Machine Head, Megadeth, Godsmack & Disturbed Saw 5FDP, Hatebreed, All That Remains, and Rains (Rains didn't belong in that group, a lot of people were confused when the started playing) Probably go back to Mayhem this summer, unless I move by then. Just decided to take my (by then) 11 year old Son to Mayhem to see Slipknot...We're both Joey Jordison fans and my Son is fast becoming a bigger fan than me..(I like about a dozen of their songs, but he keeps showing me more of their songs on youtube)...BUT...I'm scared of clowns.. Any advice? Also thinking about seeing Filter again this Friday at Tempe Town Lake.. We saw them a year ago and my shoulders are finally getting back to normal from having my Son on my shoulders through the whole show. My bucket list used to include: Pink Floyd, SRV, Willie Dixon, and John Lee Hooker..But now consists of Slipknot, Crutch, Van Morrison, and Boz Scaggs..Primus..Tool...Maybe Elvis Costello and his wife..um...er...Diana Krall.. 1st concert I "sorta" saw was when "The Baby's" played Holdrege City Auditoreum and I hung around outside on my stingray.. . Then while in highschool a buddy and I double dated and drove to Omaha and saw Hall&Oates open for Electric Light Orchestra. Then Head East? on East Campus (Cornstalk) .. ZZ Top at Pershing Auditoreum. Chicago Lionel Ritchie Sting (with Kenny Kirkland, Omar Hakim, Brandford Marcelles) Earth Wind & Fire/Emotions Billy Joel Cheap Trick at Pioneer Park (Pinewood Bowl). Had tickets to Van Halen, but had to sell them when my GF got sick the day before. Matt Guitar Murphy, Magic Slim, countless others at the Zoo. Some Zydeco Bands at the 1st Anual Flatwater Festival (Did they ever have more?) Allman Brothers at Compton Terrace (PHX)...(But missed half of it because they wouldn't let me bring in my fake Guide Dog. Big Pete Pearson a year after he retired.. at a neighborhood bar in Awatukee (Cactus Jacks) while my old college buddy was out visiting from Lincoln and a bigger Blues fan than even me. Buddy Guy/Carlos Santana/BB King ...South of Awatukee at Compton Terrace? U2 at Sun Devil Stadium. Jimmy Page/Robert Plant at America West Arena Yes/Kansas somewhere by Glenwood. (Cricket Pavilion?) Indigenous in Tempe (My Son's 1st concert..Just learned to walk..I put earplugs on him). Lots of bands at Tempe Town Lake free concerts..Filter is the only one that sticks out. Quote Link to comment

HuskerThor Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 As of Saturday morning, I will be attending IRON F*CKING MAIDEN July 2nd.... The best band mentioned here!!! Where will you be seeing them? My dad used to drive tour buses and had them for a couple of tours in the 80's. They F*CKING ROCK!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
HuskerThor Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm 51, so some of these go back a little further, mid to late 70's, when concert tickets were $6.50 and you got to see three bands. KISS (first concert ever '76) Ted Nugent Aerosmith Nazareth Cheap Trick AC/DC became my favorite band of all time(they opened for Cheap Trick '77) ZZ Top x4 Iron Maiden x6 Billy Idol Pat Benetar Van Halen (w/Sammy) Sammy Hagar x4(solo) Whitesnake Black Sabbath (w/Ronnie James Dio) Ozzy Journey Aldo Nova Triumph Blue Oyster Cult Heart Police Staind Creed Metalica Probably another 50 or more bands, but I cant remember at this time. That is, I'm SURE, due to the concerts in the '70s......Whoa dude, give me the chips......... Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I figured I would bump this and see what everyone is going to this summer. I ordered my tickets for Mayhem Fest in Denver, July 8th, which means I'll be in Denver for Silva-Sonnen II on the 7th! Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Looks like Dirtfedd won't be at the Denver show for Mayhem Fest. At least it's not on their list of shows. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Looks like Dirtfedd won't be at the Denver show for Mayhem Fest. At least it's not on their list of shows. They are part of Knotfest, so that may explain the dates. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 There is a simple reason they are playing Knotfest in Council Tucky over Mayhem(and it isn't the close to home), the guy that more or less got them signed and even helped produce their first album is Shawn Crahan, or as a lot more people know him this guy aka Number 6 Quote Link to comment
