No prob; glad to help. :)

Yipes.

I've seen:
Nine Inch Nails
Common Rotation

and that's all from your list.

My excuse: Nebraska. I'll stick to that, too.

Hey, NIN and Common Ro are good. :)

Lots of the stuff on my list is local NY/NJ stuff.

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

I've seen Common Rotation, Depeche Mode and probably the Foo Fighters (I remember very little of that afternoon at that festival). :)

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Foo Fighters was actually my first concert, at some university in northern NJ. I kicked ass in the mosh pit. (Okay, kinda.) I guess I was... 14/15? It was very good show, and a relatively gentle crowd; a good first experience. :)

My first was Duran Duran at about the same age. We will speak of that no more.

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Why? That's awesome. I love Duran Duran. :)

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

I still have a soft soft for them, but they're a big dent in my rather flimy cool armour. :D

Of the others you've listed, I've seen Dope, Static-x and Monster Magnet. I envy you for your VNV Nation, Apop Berzerk, Genitorturers, and Poe. The first three I wanted to see, but I only have two friends who dig this music, and both are in school and/or poor.
I remember Corey Feldman played L'Amour's. :D

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

I used to follow Dope when they were brand new; I went to all their early shows. (One of my friends had been sent a box of promo tapes by someone he met over the internet, and gave them out all over our school, so we traveled together to see the band play in NYC.)

I saw Static-X with Dope opening for them. That mosh pit was *insane*.

Monster Magnet I saw opening for Manson; it was supposed to be Hole. (I'm still so pissed that I never got to see Hole!!!)

Corey Feldman played L'amour on my 20th birthday. How could I NOT go? It was actually the most fun I'd ever had at a show. He was totally having a good time, very tongue in cheek and aware that we were there sort of for amusement value, and he just put on a great show and had fun. It was one of those surreal nights where everything just goes great.

I saw VNV and Apop together. Didn't know any of their songs, wasn't too terribly impressed. Alas. I know I should've appreciated it more, but I didn't.

Poe I saw opening for NIN in an arena. So it wasn't that great. I didn't start listening to her stuff until later, and found out that I really liked it.

Genitorturers toured with Uranium 235 and Godhead for four dates, three of which I followed them on (Brooklyn, DC, Philly). They had these merch girls who I was chatting with beforehand; I borrowed a pen from one of them, I think. Then when the band performed, those girls were onstage doing a very explicit part of the show, and I was rather freaked out. But they were all quite nice, and the band was great. (It was weird seeing the singer dressed normal beforehand, and then all dolled-up onstage...)
