I went to see Mogwai at the Fillmore, and that was both the loudest and quietest concert I've ever been to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first tour sold out in Glasgow, and they were one of the loudest. I couldn't hear myself.
If you've never been to one of my concerts. I want you to know that it is OK to scream and yell.
Growing up, I was a little hippie kid. I went to some good concerts... Amnesty International with Bob Dylan and Tracy Chapman... The best concert I ever went to was this one at the Cow Palace my freshman year in college on New Year's Eve. It was Pearl Jam opening for Nirvana opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers.
My first-ever date on my first tour, the sound completely cut out. So I had to go on and just shout loudly to the audience.
In those days a concert was a personal experience. I wanted to be as close as possible to the audience, and of course big stadiums didn't enable you to do that. It wasn't my style.
Growing up, as much as country was a big influence in my life, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles and Led Zeppelin were such a close second. My first concert ever was the Rolling Stones in Denver. I snuck a camera backstage and filmed Mick Jagger during sound-check.
I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in.
All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!
To be honest, I've only been to one concert, and it was Aerosmith. Aerosmith and Slash.
I've only been to one concert in my life.
