For Those Keeping Count..

I won't list the bands I've only seen once again, but I am going to create a list of those I've seen more than once. And there is one top band that I have seen the most. No ties here. At least not yet

2: Anberlin, Bad Religion, Brooks and Dunn, Foo Fighters, Jason Aldean, Lamb of God, Linkin Park, Luke Bryan, Passion Pit, Rodney Atkins, System of a Down, Tool

3: AFI, Chris Young, Rise Against, Tim McGraw

4: Thrice

Thrice has always put on an amazing show. The last time I saw them was just very recently as you can see from my last post and it was the first time I saw them headline. They are incredible live. Unfortunately, they are taking a hiatus at the moment and focusing on other things. But I will have the privilege of seeing Dustin Kensrue perform solo next year. I can't wait!

Concerts

I went through my concert tickets just now to see who I've seen over the years and let's just say there are quite a few bands. My very first concert was when I was 5 years old; I saw Garth Brooks. Since then I went to a few concerts here and there and have definitely picked it up in the past few years. There is nothing as spectacular as the live experience. I will sum them up for you as best I can

June 6, 2003: New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, MXPX

Day 1

I have thought about starting a blog for a while on music. I just never got around to it till now. I don't really know what the structure will be for this and I also don't know how often I am going to post on here. But when I have a thought it will be thrown out there. Mostly I am looking at doing reviews and lists and anything else that might come out of my head. I feel that I have enough credentials to do this and know what I am talking about when it comes to music. I own A LOT of CDs. Yes those outdated things that still are being sold that I still buy on a weekly basis because I love collecting them. My collection is so large that the other day I went through and organized/alphabetized them; it took me almost 4 hours to do. I don't know how many I own, but I'm somewhere north of 1000. Anyways, I will begin to post reviews on these albums as I go a long and weekly reviews on what new things come out. Not so much now, but maybe starting at the beginning of the year when new releases come out. I will also post concert reviews. I go to a lot of those as well, and have seen many great shows over the years. So that's about it for an introduction to what this is. Welcome to Music From Regions Beyond
