What concerts have your kids dragged you to?

My son just turned 13 and is going to see his current favorite band " System of a Down "at a local arena that holds about 12k people.
Theres no way hes going without a parent so I get the honor of taking him as well as one of his freinds in two weeks.
He is already trying to get me to take him to a "Foo Fighters/Weezer" concert also.
So what bands have your kids talked you into going to see with them that you most likely would not have seen otherwise?

Not my kids, but rather a girlfriend back in mid 80'S? It was MC Hammer. We soon after broke up.

Speaking of Weezer- I was cranking out "Hash Pipe" and my 7 year old said "Daddy what's he saying?"

Man did I get a stupid look on my face ! I could only respond, "I'm not sure- where's that Spongebob CD anyway?"

I don't beleive the music itself is going to bother me as Systym of a Down definitely has a unique sound...like metal meets an opera voice or something.

My dragged comment was more about mosh pits and left handed smokes ect....and trying to keep them away from both.
I am in tune with most of the younger generations music...and my boy just got a Gibson SG and a Marshall amp for his 13th birthday....same guitar that....you guessed it Systym of a down uses.
I can remember being a Black Sabbath ect fan when I was his age and my parents put up with it and much more.
Just wish I would have got a Gibson electric instead of a crappy used Yamaha classical guitar....lol
I see that some of you have endured much worse as far as being dragged to something you most likely would not have gone to....amusing responses for sure.

As much as I hate to admit this....I actually enjoyed myself at this concert and Systym of a Down is a talented high energy band.......very high energy.

Never thought I would actually like this concert....but the decibels were a bit much.
The first two bands were not that great though.
Apparently...they were filming several songs for there new upcoming Systym of a Down release videos also.

One thing that took me by suprise is that they did an entire Dire Straits song...which was there only cover out of 28 songs.
Never thought I would here Dire Straights being played by a hardcore metal group.

To any of you youner or high spirited middle aged people who are already fans....don't miss this band if it comes your way imo.

What Dire Straits song was it? Glad to see you had a good time, I belive the second album comes out soon. "Hypnotize" or is it already out?
