GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Oct 8, 2007

Well hey guys - haven't blogged much in awhile, a bit of the same - more or less busy with school and some other things, but other than that, life is pretty good. So if some of you know, as of last weekend I went to a concert to see the band: The Used.

Well, they were playing at an annual local event sponsored by our local radio show called the X96 Big Ass Show, and it was a large showcasing of bands and different sets of music ... From 11:00 in the morning until 6:00 in the evening, it was a nice long event full of loud music, crazh mosh pits, crowd surfing, and tons of fun. I hope you're familiar with some of the bands that played:

- Victim Effect
- Schoolyard Heroes
- Madina Lake
- The Starting Line
- Cold War Kids
- Sum 41
- Jimmy Eat World
- Social Distortion
- The Used

I hope you're familiar with at least one of these bands - I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't be.

Obviously, I went mostly appearing for the last band, The Used - whom they also come from Utah. So yes it was a fantastic show, Jimmy Eat World, and Madina Lake put on a great show - plenty of moshing, crowd surfing - though a lot of contact with sweaty people and scents of body odor weren't exactly the greatest thing ...

Though its been about two days since the concert - and I'm still sore from moshing, as well as crowds pushing towards the center of the stage to get closer to the artists. Well it was a fun night that I'll definitely remember, and I'll definitely be looking forward to it again next year.

Sum 41 is one of my favorite bands ever, though I'm guessing they played mostly/only stuff off their new album which I'm told isn't as good. However, enjoy your crazy other bands and such...and have fun with school.

Never heard any of the bands. Then again the only music I ever listen to really is video game music.

irmeleeman5995: Yeah, though there was a few mixes of their old stuff and new stuff - well, Jimmy Eat World was playing music pretty much off of their 2001 album mostly! And yup, school is pretty nice.

wolf360rev: Never heard of any? Shame, some of them are really great - especially the last one. Though I know what you mean - game music is fantastic.

I have heard of 3 of those bands, Sum 41, Jimmy Eat World, and The Used

Just go to Warped Tour if your into that kind of thing. Much more crazy, longer, more bands, and umm... more crazy.

Sum 41 are one of my favourite bands, not crazy about their latest album though. How were they?
Posted Oct 9, 2007 4:12 am PT
hmm. it seems I haven't heard of any of those songs except for the used. and it's pretty good

redX5112: Well that's not surprising, I mean they are the three most popular. BassBoy45L Yes I was thinking about that - isn't it over though?

GC4Ever: Actually Jimmy Eat World's new album comes out in about a week. And yes HIM is great, but I don't know if I would see them ...

PJ24: Thanks.

fishdalf: They were pretty good, they put on a good show ... though it was a bit dragged on in my opinion, but probably it was because I was anticipating The Used ... I'm sorry!

Tails_prower7: Hmm, well fun - but yeah it's all good.

Well, I've heard of Sum 41 and Jimmy Eat World. I know who Jimmy Eat World is mostly because of that one song they came out with about 5 years ago called "The Middle" or something like that. It played on the radio a lot I remember. That was a pretty sweet song. But yeah, I'm a rap listener, so it's pretty obvious I don't know much about those bands. I'm glad to hear you had a great time at that concert, though.

gohantech00: Ahh yes, The Middle is the last song they played at the concert and the crowd went wild when they heard it! But yeah it was lots of fun, thanks!

I know some of those bands. Used to like Sum 41 but now I just don't.
Posted Oct 10, 2007 1:23 pm PT
I've listened to Sum 41, they're OK! It looks like you enjoyed that event which is awesome (aside from the sweat of other people and mashing of people) !
Posted Oct 10, 2007 8:30 pm PT
stephaime: Heehee, I know what you mean there!

Platyphyllum: Oh yes it was a lot of fun - but sweat is so gross!
Posted Oct 10, 2007 10:10 pm PT
I haven't heard of any of those bands except Sum 41...but I think they suck.

You had fun though and that's all that matters!
