Live Concerts

Even though the year just started there are already lots of anxiety for the summer concerts and the ones ahead. As the names for the festivals are being revealed the excitment grows. This year there are a few bands playing in Lisbon that I can't wait to see such as Metallica and Pearl Jam. I have to be honest this year can be really great as far as concerts goes but the truth is that so far not many bands that interest me are coming or were anounced to come play here. I'm hopping that with time more big names pop out.

Last year I had a ball, Chris Cornell, Metallica, Placebo, Prodigy, Faith No More, etc. The later being the best concert I have ever been to. It was just fucking amazing. I controlled myself through the entire set because I wanted to pay attention to every single detail, I didn't wanna loose a moment, a move, anything. I loved their performance and the choice of songs that would only be better if they had played Zombies eaters, The Real Thing or The Edge Of The World. But still it was the best concert I have ever seen.

Chris Cornell is one of my favourites singers and although I'm not a big fan of his last album the concert was pretty good with quite a few Soundgarden songs and not forgetting Temple Of The Dog.

Metallica was great as usual, they always put on a great show. In 2007 I saw them in Super Rock Super Bock with the perfect setlist so after that concert it's been hard to keep up. Anyway they always give us a hell of a show.

Placebo were ok, I felt that they weren't feeling it, maybe it was just me. Plus it wasn't the first time I saw them which makes me compare the concerts.

Prodigy were a blast, for a concert I wasn't interested in they owned that night. They were headlining and my friends made me go with them to the front near the pits. All I can say is that I found myself in the mosh pit after two or three songs.

There were so many bands I wanted to see last year but couldn't due to the lack of money. Despite that I hope this year will keep up the last one. So far there are only a few bands confirmed to play here like Pearl Jam (can't wait), Metallica, Sepultura and Crowbar. Pearl Jam being the only one to perform in a festival. There are other names but I'm not interested. I'm still hopping for Alice In Chaind and Soundgarden. XD
