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.. :ahhhhhhhhGSG5545 said: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.
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.
