I would point and laugh at you openly about the NKOTB, but I've got Sum41 on my list, so that would be more than a bit hypocritical on my part.

 

Oh, whatthefuck... bwahahakjpuhru!lkjlsjhaklg!

 

^_^

 

 

I'd definitely not mind if it were "today's" NKOTB. That's just an abomination....!! The words move the fuck on haven't sunk into their heads I guess.. Wait it did for a while. Who the fuck thought that resurrection was a good idea?

So, one night I've got insomnia and I'm wandering around the FIU campus. Had to pee. I walk into the washroom an it's dark, so I search for the lights and there's this guy leaning against the sinks, while another guy is kneeling in front of him-

 

Oh wait, Are we talking MUSICAL acts we've seen live?

 

Um, The House Jacks stank up the room before a George Carlin concert once.

Back then folks were crying 'why aren't I on the banner, waaaaaa' when the new front page banner came out. I thought it was funny that there was this controversy over it. As a goof I made that banner. It wasn't my intention but it shut everybody up. I guess it said, 'you wanna be on a banner? Make your own' and everyone is just too lazy. Heh.

Audioslave (first real gig i was ever at. fuckin' fantastic)

Rodrigo y Gabriela (saw these before they were big, saw 'em in an old church with about fifty other people. in credible gig)

Metallica (fucking epic)

Linkin Park (supported metallica. did a great job getting the crowd fired up for metallica with their horrific performance )

The Darkness (see above)

Riders On The Storm aka What's left of The Doors (One of the greatest nights of my life, i know there was no jim or john. But hearing "Ladies and gentlemen, from Las Angeles California...The Doors" and then the opening to Roadhouse Blues gave me chills )

Pearl Jam (top quality gig)

Radiohead (another fantastic gig, that was the night after pearl jam)

Beck (supported radiohead, pretty good show)

The Rolling Stones (Played a lot of unknown 80's stuff but started and finished strong, paint it black alone was worth the monies)

Black Label Society (zakk wylde's band supporting ozzy, did'nt play enough of his earlier stuff)

Ozzy Osbourne (without doubt one of the best gigs i've been at, he was on top form as was zakk who more than made up for the poor enough bls set)

Jealous of ASC's Tom Waits & Rolling Stones shows. Robert Plant's lost his heyday pipes, so even if some act of God permits Jimmy Page to actually tour w/ him under the name "Led Zepplin" again it just wouldn't be the same.

 

Also, there was a conspicuous absence from your updated list there, Eamo...
