Yes I have literally been to dozens of concerts. I have seen Shinedown, Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin, Taproot, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, and many other bands. I have also seen some local bands and friend's bands play smaller concerts as well.

Hi Bethany: According to the bands you have mentioned it looks that you are a big fan of rock music, that's amazing. I am too but most of my favorite bands are Alternative Rock Bands or Britpo such as Coldplay, keane, Starsailor and Thirteen Senses. Even with that what should matter is that we know how to appreciate good music no matter where it comes from. Thanks for your answer Bethany. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. Take Care. -Alvaro.

I had been to concerts many a times. I love music of any type, whether classical or light music. Once I had been to a classical concert of Shri M. Balamurali Krishna. Once it was light music of playback singer Sonu Nigam's concert. I have even attended classical music cocerts of Unni Krishnan, Bombay Jayashree, Priya sisters, Soumya and Veena recital of D. Balakrishna.

When I was young, concert tickets were about double what a movie ticket was. So 1 to 3 tickets for a movie and 2 to 6 dollars for a concert. Then a big auditorium went up and tickets for a concert were $10. So at first,we went to concerts often because they were cheap. Then less often because they cost more. Now they're like $40 to $60 and I can't afford them any more. Mostly country/western singers, fiddlers, band competitions, etc.

I've been to quite a few concerts, more than I care to count, and in venues of all sizes, from the 40-50 people shows up to massive concerts with 40,000 people or more. I don't go to the big shows too much any more, I'm much more likely to go see a small local or regional band. Most of the really big shows I went to were many years ago - REO, Santana, Foreigner, Ted Nugent, Queen, Van Halen. There are still quite a few of the big groups on my 'wanna see' list, though!

My family and I go to one specific concert every year...Trans-Siberian Orchestra...it is frickin' insane!! But other than that, when I was a kid we went and saw Neil Diamond, REO Speedwagon, and the Dixie Chicks

I seldom go to the concert because it is expensive. I think it is fine for me to watch it from TV. I just attended to the concert for a few times. I love China

I saw Miles Davis perform in Mexico City. My husband really liked that. In college there were often well known performers available to see, but we did not have money to spend on entertainment because we needed to save every penny for food and books and other necessary things. Sometimes we went to free concerts though. Other students had money though, because the concerts were always well-attended.

Dear friend, I had been to few concerts I do like those atmosphere, people cheering, may be singling along, some dancing. The only thing I hate is people getting more violent at times hurting others. Otherwise it is really an enjoyablep time.

i have friends that perform in bands but i never had gotten a chance to watch them. although i became a performer in a mini concert but that is as a group in choir. im a member of a choir and we used to join this mini concert for the benefit of the homeless. im sure it feels good when watching concert but its even better if you're the performer. happy new year to you codris

I have been to many concerts to see bands that I liked. Pink Floyd, Metallica, Alan Parsons Project, Slayer, Black Sabbath are just a few. I also like to see jazz bands when they are playing. I haven't been to a concert for years but I have a book where I keep all my concert tickets and it's quite full!

I have been to quite a few concerts. Some bands/singers I have seen more than once. And I have gotten a few autographs too. The ones I have seen multiple times are Collective Soul, Air Supply, Def Leppard, Tesla, Rick Springfield, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, The Nelsons,(the Nelsons with Scrap Metal) Gene Pitney, tons of oldies concerts with many headliners. Other concerts include, Metallica, Ratt, Poison, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot,Ozzy, Live, Godsmack, and so many more I can't even think of them.. :-)

It's been quite a few years since I've been to a concert, but yes, I've seen some great ones. Back in the mid 80's I went to several Journey concerts...and I went to another one of their concerts in the early 90's. I've also been to some concerts which are a bit embarassing to admit...like Rick Springfield and Leif Garrett LOL.

I love going to concerts. If I had a money tree(and teleportation powers ), I would go to a different concert every night. I have lost count but I have probably seen at least 50 different bands in concert, some on tours, some at festivals. The winner of my best performance ever award is between AFI and Kill Hannah.

Yeah I've been to a lot of concerts in my life and I'm looking forward to going to a lot more in the future. I'm a huge fan of both concerts and I like music festivals even more because it's more of a getaway then a concert plus you get to see like at least twenty concerts during a music festival. Some of the concerts that I have been to are The Lawrence Arms, Me First and The Gimme Gimmes, Mastodon, Eoto, Dethklok, The Glitch Mob, and plenty of others. I would recommend to anyone to check out the nearest music festival they can find because they are a lot of fun and you meet some of the nicest people there.

Tom Chaplin from Coldplay - I've taken this picture from one of the concerts of Keane in their Perfect Symetry tour 2009
Hi codris: i am on the oposite as you. I have been only to two concerts but the first one was one of the most amazing moments in my life, it's was the best and we were in the concert like 13.000 people. It was on March this year, the band: Keane. I am on their Official Fan Club so i was invited to their Meet And Greet it was amazing, i was nervous but they signed me a copy of my cds and they sing for just us the fans like 2 hours before the concert. I think this is one of the best experience I have ever had and what's more important is that next year I'll go to see Coldplay live. I simply love this kind of music. Thanks for asking me this question. The picture I add to my answer is one of Tom, Keane's lead singer I've taken during our private concert. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. Take Care. -Alvaro.

Concerts - One needs to be in a good frame of mind to enjoy a concert.
I have been to a couple or two but my dream was to watch one at the Sydney Opera House but apart from touring that place and getting stunned by the facilities sound reproduction, etc I could not make it that day. But one day I will, hopefully.

I have been to several, both in large venues, and small ones. They both have there advantages. I personally have seen Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, The Scorpions, Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry, Nickelback, PapaRoach, Hinder, QueensRyche, BB King, Johnny Lang, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and quite a few others. I have been lucky enough to attend alot of concerts where multiple headliner bands have played in the same concert.
