Of course! Last concert I attended was Danzig. Geezers, lol. I'm 37 and am definitely on the younger end of the scale at most rock shows. I also enjoy live classical music, opera, ballet, etc.

This guy does, if something peaks my interest.

Last one I went to was Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in NYC. That was probably the most diverse concert crowd that I've ever been a part of. Everything from the type of Harajuku fashion fans to groups of large bearded guys you'd expect at a metal show. Was a fun show.

In 2013 off the top of my head I went to...

Between the buried and me / coheed and cambria

Glassjaw with balance and composure

United Nations with circle takes the square

I think between the buried and me are playing Friday. Gonna do that if it isn't sold out.

Really depends. I only scope out bands I really like or I know have a good live presence. I hate shows where it sounds like the album. I'm not a big fan of concert "culture" with everyone flying into each other and not respecting anyone's space I usually just dance by the soundboard.

Saw Melt-Banana in November, that was a good show. I'll be (most likely) be seeing King Crimson and Outkast this summer

I see Jimmy Buffett every year. It's always a great experience. I've been going for the last 15 years. I highly recommend going, even if you never heard his music. I don't know anybody that hasn't had a good time.

Last one I went to was a few years ago. I think Sounds of the Underground back in 2009 or so. Might be going to see Lionel Richie with family in June.

I feel bad if I don't go to a concert at least like once a month. I have 5 shows coming up in the next couple of months for sure to go to.

I wouldn't mind going to one of her concerts, especially after I saw this video a few years back:

Trippy shit.

How was it?

I saw them when they were touring with Lenny Kravitz a few years back and they were horrible. Mostly because they didn;t play a good set, and Steven Tyler's voice is thrashed.

Lenny, on the other hand, was excellent.

My last one was Prince. I like his music, but the pipsqueak is a prick. Pretty sure his backing singers did more than him, plus he made everyone chant his name for fucking ages. Fuck him, he's a cunt, and a small one at that.

Cameo -Word Up was played before hand so after that everything was downhill.

I always do my best to go see Meshuggah, especially after an album release... otherwise I don't go to many shows.

Last few: Bela Fleck, Andrew WK, the Life and Times, Nile, Steely Dan

The last concert I went to was also Danzig in August 2013. It was a Misfits reunion show with Doyle. Best birthday present ever. Thanks wife.

All the time man. Last concert I went to was the TESLA BOY concert at Empire Control Room in Austin 24. SEPT. 2013. That was probably the best concert I've been to since forever. Going to *THE SOUNDS* when they hit up Austin on 19. April. 2014 at EMO's as well. This time I'm not leaving until I meet, photo op and hangout with Maja.

This 30 year old geezer's last concert was Morrissey, I believe. The Heartbreaks warmed up, and they were really good.

The last concert I went to was back in the college days. Small venues are where it's at. I hate massive amphitheaters, the indoor ones are the worst. Way too many people and the music usually sounds like ass.

Morrissey, I'd love to see him. AND he's coming in town soon!

I normally go to rowdy shows.. SKA PUNK primarily, although I went and saw The English Beat last night.. thems some good two-tone. I've seen Reel Big Fish and The Aquabats more times than I can count. I never miss a show.

Best concerts I've been to though were Moby, then Ben Folds.
