This may be the end of it (plus Incubus, who I've seen three times) -- it was a weird coincidence that these bands were paired together in the first round.

Back in the late '90's I'd go see any band that rolled through town, pretty much -- I just enjoyed the social and cultural experience of going to concerts, and tickets weren't unjustifiably expensive. I got pickier and snootier about it a few years later, but in my teens I was pretty open to giving all this stuff a fair shot.

This tournament is going to result in Kevin Davis slowly realizing that he loves nu-metal

You guys should do a Nu Metal cover of Elvis Costello songs.

“Ay yo Alison ho, my aim is true bitch”

now show me your tits

Shimmer is bland and forgettable but it's so much better than that other song.

I think the only band on the list that I actually saw was Staind. Same show featured Rammstein, Fear Factory, and Clutch.

I see five bands in the tourney I've seen. :/

six for me

Zero for me. Hoobastank opened for Velvet Revolver the one time I saw VR. I showed up at the venue as Hoobastank was playing “The Reason” which ended up being their last song. I only heard them playing it, never saw them on stage. Then VR went on to play the worst show I’ve even seen.

I called cds tapes for the bulk of the 90s

Shimmer winning this whole thing

SoaD was actually a really great show.

Saw them open for vr as well and refused to go in because of that dumb reason tune.. tailgated for a while figuring they were done.. of course as I was walking in I got treated to the reason live

Lol, classic. Fuck you, Hoobastank!

yeah i saw them twice, once about a year before toxicity came out at the wbcn river rave, and again when they toured with slipknot after toxicity came out

12

13 if you want to count three days grace playing live as I walked around a local fair eating delicious but horrible for you food

Hoobastank was part of the 12 because I had to endure that awful song

I can’t believe how many of these bands you guys have seen. Lol. Wtf.

In my defense a handful of em were at the same show

Fun fact: I saw Incubus and Dave Matthews Band on back to back nights. Great seats for both!

I've seen Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Godsmack, Korn, Slipknot and System of a Down. Though Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle were opening that Korn concert, Godsmack were opening for Metallica and Slipknot was at Ozzfest.



Definitely this, wish they would play within a thousand miles of me again so I could see them a second time.
