Your very own concert

beachbum by beachbumOG 2002 · Nov 25, 2003 · 325 views

I hate going to a show where I only like one or 2 of the bands and you have to sit thru other horrible bands just to get to the good stuff. Or I feel cheated paying to see only one band b/c the others are so bad I just leave. I always wished I could put together my own concert with my top 10 fav bands (and of course they would only play the songs I like & if they were broken up they would get back together for one more show AND they would edit any bad language). Mine would consist of (in no particular order):

1)Metallica

2)Pennywise

3)Zebrahead

4)Incubus

5)40 Below Summer

6)Goldfinger

7)Linkin Park

8)Finger Eleven

9)The Living End

10)Rage Against the Machine
11)Cranberries

12)Sevendust

OK, so that's 12. I threw in an extra couple-Cranberries can open since they don't match the rest of the concert. So who would your perfect concert consist of?

Jewel / Dido (open)

Mouse on Mars (get the audience adjusted for what's to follow)
Dieselboy and Decoder, tag team spinning
Breakbeat Era (bring it back to live instruments)
Isotope 217 / Tortoise
Radiohead / Sigur Ros
Soul Coughing with Howlin' Wolf, Toots and the Maytals, and the Andrews Sisters in the best Grand finale ever experienced!

Don't know how I missed saying this before. Raymond Scott would be in the Grand finale too! Don't know who he is? You should.
