OT: Music Sharing Thread 2

[ManofSteel55]

Ok music fans. My 16 year stepson has never been to a concert. We had plans to go to The Offspring a few years ago in Red Deer, but it was cancelled because of the Rona. Anyway. He has his heart set on concert tickets as a Christmas gift. I was thinking about Metallica tickets - his taste in music has gotten quite heavy in the past two years. His favourite bands are Iron Maiden, Sabaton, and a bunch of new power metal type bands that I don't know. Anyway. Any recommendations other than Metallica next year in Edmonton for a young metalheads first show? Must be all ages, which is the hard part I think. I would consider the Ministry show, but it's 18+.

Thanks everyone!

Your son has impeccable taste in music.

The show to have gotten him tickets for was KISS as that is an absolute giant of a rock and roll show by the band that invented the massive stage show. There is still time to get to Winnipeg although you'll have to drive because Ive heard they have no airport.

Metallica would be a good one but it's in Commonwealth which absolutely sucks as a venue.

Iron Maiden is touring again next fall but not coming to Edmonton but I would try to get him to one of those shows if you can.

Sabaton will be touring next year but their North America show is a fraction of their European shows. If they come to Edmonton they usually play at the old Goose Loonies which also sucks as a venue. I saw them there and in Calgary for a show in a much better venue there.

He does have impeccable taste in music. Even the stuff I hear that I don't know I enjoy. Ghost is another one we both enjoy listening too, although I wouldn't call them metal at all, ha ha.

We saw the Sabaton and Judas Priest schedule. He is devastated that we can't catch that one, but heading out to the Eastern US for one of those shows just isn't in the cards. We're hoping the extend the NA tour after their Priest schedule is done so they can come out west, but not holding our breath.

I'm thinking we will end up getting him Metallica tickets. I mean, they aren't what they used to be, but they're still among the GOAT rock bands.

As a kid that was the tune to “Do my balls hang low, do they dangle to and fro.”

Not many metal shows booked atm. IMO you can't go wrong with the Friday Metallica/Pantera(plus seeing another legend in Zakk Wylde) show unless he's already progressed to an elitist phase lol.

Thanks. I think we'll go with Metallica. We'll flip a coin for the day, he likes Ice Nine Kills a bit too. I just love music, so I don't care, I'll see any of them, ha ha.

If you can see the show with the opening with Enter Sandman, considered to be one of the best if not the best show opening songs of all time.

This ones on my alltime list. Rattle the speakers. Atmosphere like crazy. Wonder what it felt like to be there or on the stage. It was a chaotic, but exciting time where people felt they finally would have some freedom and a better life. Sad what come of it but respect to bands like Metallica that were bringing the best of the west over there for people to see what western world affiliation can be like.

If you are like me and have not seen the original Queen live I would suggest going.

I plan on it. I do have a copy of the blu ray of the show and it’s superb, but IMAX should be da bomb.
