My brother and I are taking my son to his first concert this weekend. He is really excited, even though I don't think he has any idea what to expect. We are going to Pop's in St. Louis for the concert. My brother and I have been there before and we both think it is a great place to see a band play. You are able to get pretty close to the band and it makes you feel more like you are part of the show. A lot of pretty good bands play at Pop's. I am a big metal fan, and always will be and my son seems to like the music and seems to have the "metal-mentality". We will be seeing Down. For those of you that are not familiar with Down, the band includes Philip Anselmo (lead singer of Pantera and, in my opinion, the best metal singer on the planet!), Rex (bass player for Pantera), and Pepper Keenan (member of Corrosion of Conformity). I have seen Phil play with a couple of other bands and he never disappoints!
Here is what I hope. I hope my son feels the energy of the concert experience and refers to this as one of his "best memories". I hope he gets totally engulfed in the pounding and screaming of the live show. I hope he learns to enjoy music (any, that he ends up liking) the same way I do. I would love it if he fell in love with metal the way I did when I was younger but I know that different music moves all of us in different ways. Here's to my young son "rocking out" at his first concert!

Have a great time at the concert. I hope you and your son have a great time.
Mr. C,
My first concert that I went to was in Fort Madison after a rodeo and it was a great feeling racing the crowd to the front of the stage. Only two people away created an awesome show. Well, I think that your son will have a good time and it's good that you two can share the same interest in music.

In my opionion I don't like metal music. No offense,I like hip-hop, rap, R-b, and country. I really hope your son enjoys the conceret. I loved my first concert in St.Louis. Have a great time!!!

what up carrey? lol yea i agree with the rest of them. im sure your son will love his first concert cuz i know i did.
metal is the best music ever!!!
who doesn't love their first concert! the feel of live music is such a rush! my dad took me to my first concert, but i wasn't quite as young, i was 16. He took me and my little brother to go see Nickelback in Springfield! Since they are one of my favorite bands, it was an amazing thing to be able to share that with my dad. ooo...and t-shirts are always a bonus...it feels like something special that you can share with everyone!

Hey Mr. C! I really admire the fact that you encourage your son to like whatever music that may move him, or that is in his best interest! I have never been to a heavy metal music concert myself,or for that matter any concert at all. But my dad does listen to some heavy metal and it is does not seem that bad. I am sure that if I listened to it more, I might learn to enjoy it. It's really awesome that your son liked the concert! I'm sure that he will learn to love it just as much as you!
