We've all had them. Tell us about some of the best times you had at ANY concert!

I remember I saw 311 and Snoop Dogg this past summer. There were a lot of cops there but everyone was smoking anyway. When Snoop got on he was like "DAMN I thought it was puff puff PASS, what's going on people?". Someone ended up throwing a blunt or something on the stage (I was too far to see) and he started hitting it. He waited a second and said, "Now everyone turn to the law enforcement, raise your right hand and say FUCK THE POLICE!" Everyone started yelling it, I was so stoned I thought it was great. You could tell the police was getting a little uncomfortable.

I went to this 3 day festival near Asheville, NC in July and some guy in his late 30's/early 40's on some pretty strong OTs tried to make a set of wings and fly off the stage into the lake that was about 300 feet away.Didn't work and I never saw him again after he attempted it.

I could post a lot more but I want to hear yours. Mine are kind of personal/ had to be there type of stories but i' m sure some of you got some pretty funny ones to share so let's hear them!

Mine is the first concert ive ever been to.

For a first concert, I knew I wanted to make it big, so me and a buddy decided to see Steve Vai in Toronto.

My god, what a first concert that was. Were talkin the whole shebang here; The audience is listening, The clear LED guitar, Vai and Billy Sheehan playing eachothers instruments, and the SKILL!

Although this was before i started smoking, i would DIE to see vai again while ripped.
(BTW: Seeing Protest the Hero this sat., gonna be ripped as fuck! )

I saw 1964: The Tribute (a Beatles tribute band) last weekend. They were absolutely amazing, played the yellow submarine song and everything. The whole time I sat there wishing I was stoned as hell, because they looked, talked, and sang exactly like the Beatles. Talk about a mind f*ck, lol...

And "John Lennon" was hot hot hot.

I saw 1964 back in October. They did a great job!

Me, I don't have any really cool concert memories. The best for me was probably going to Live 8 in Barrie. Deep Purple was the band I most wanted to see there. I snuck off to smoke a J during a break in the action (if you're wondering why I didn't just smoke it where I was, that's a different story) and came back good and high as they were playing their first song. I just happened to time it out perfectly.

Probably seeing one of System of a Down's last shows in New York City before they went on a hiatus..... They are one of my favorite bands of all time and well, yeah... it was great. And in New York City of all places? I was on the other side of the world man.

Watch these (shitty) vids if you want. I'm right up front, in the middle.

Disturbed was also playing.... as you can see, it was literally '10,000 fists' in the air at the time.

A Perfect Circle (my first concert) in Seattle with The Mars Volta opening, or seeing Modest Mouse in the Arizona desert would be tied for second place, seeing as that's basically all the big concerts I've been too.





Anyone got any Grateful Dead concert stories? Buzzby, dirtbomb, Pompo, c'mon guys!

I've been front and center and had both Violent J from ICP and Jhred from (Hed)PE stage dive right on top of me, at two different concerts. I've also had a chance to meet several artists on the Suburban Noize and Strange Music labels, like Potluck, Dirtball, Lou Dogg (KMK's drummer) Jahred, Prozak, etc. One of my favorite moments was seeing my best friend get his mind blown at his first ICP concert. I almost had to beg him to go, but as we were walking out of the show, he told me if I EVER go ANYWHERE to see them again, to be DAMN sure he was with me!! At one point in the show, he looked at me and said "What? You look like you saw a ghost or something" I didn't se a ghost, but I DID see a FULL bottle of faygo come within a hair of hitting him smack in the face that he was somehow oblivious to! People can diss ICP and/or KMK all they want, but every time I see either group, its always a good time and an excellent show.

I don't know if this is my best concert moment but its definitely up there. I was seeing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in Providence and Karen O (whom I'm in love with) came up right in front of me on stage, took a swig from her water bottle, and spit it into my mouth....Awesome...
