Damn. I miss the days where I went to 30+ concerts a year. But, that was before marriage and kids. I'll live vicariously through you :-)


I did manage to go to four this past year:


Deftones/Rise Against
Train/O.A.R.
Killer Queen (Queen tribute)
Incubus/Jimmy Eat World


Will definitely check out the boys if they come to Chicago.

Dedicated. Disgusting. Disturbing.

I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round, and the music is too loud..

I saw Run The Jewels in 2017. Only show I saw and my first true hip-hop show. It was a great concert. Very high energy. My body hurt after it was over and I didn't even really do anything too crazy. RTJ sounded great, Killer Mike and El-P are experienced and it shows through their live show.

2) Bush  Royal Oak May 17, 2017  Met the band was reason so great. Plus one of my favorite bands.
3) Korn  Clarkston July 30, 2017

5) Guns N Roses Detroit Nov 2, 2017
6) Metallica Detroit July 12, 2017
7) Offspring/Sublime Clarkston Sep 9, 2017
8 ) 311  Detroit June 25th, 2017
9) Our Lady Peace Detroit Nov 1, 2017
10) Sammy Hagar and Circle  Clarkston Sep 28, 2017
11) Incubus July 23, 2017.  Clarkston MI.
12) Detroit and Cleaveland STP 2 cover band seen three times.  Also, seen Seven Circle Sunrise a great Nirvana coverband.   


Note the day of the Bush show I also had ticket to Soundgarden since I did not know when I bought tickets that it was the same day.  Too sad that was the last show and I missed it since I went to the Bush show instead.  Had great time meeting Bush and at the Bush show though.  But still was depressing the next day when I found out one of my favorite singers died.  I remember that day really having a tough time deciding which show to go to since I loved both bands.  I really wanted to meet Bush so I went to the Bush show.  Still heart broken over Chris Cornell not being alive loved his music so much.
