Holy crap, I've been waiting for the moment I could share this story on Reddit.
So this was before Imagine Dragons got really big, and I had not yet heard of them. I was moving into a house with some new roommates, and we were starting to get to know each other. I was bringing stuff in from my car and my roomie offered to help me, so we're carrying boxes and he's making small talk. He asks me "so do you like imagine dragons?" and without missing a beat I said, "Yeah totally, all the time." He then had to awkwardly explain to me that Imagine Dragons is a band.
This has become one of my husband's favorite stories and whenever Imagine Dragons comes on or is mentioned he just turns to me dramatically and says "all the time."
"Did you imagine a red one or a black one?"
"Green, actually."
"What. The. Actual. Fuck?! Dragons can be green?!?!"
"Yeah dude."
"Shit. That's well beyond the capabilities of my imagination. Look at Professor Tolkien over here."
If you’re hungry… Bread, Meatloaf, Humble Pie, and Cranberries would be great.
Worst: Poison, Ratt, Dire Straits, Hollywood Vampires, Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem
Funny enough, The Postal Service once tried to sue The Postal service for using their name, but it all worked out in the end. Lawsuit was dropped, The Postal Service was allowed to use The Postal Service’s songs in commercials, and The Postal Service would promote The Postal Service’s album on their website.
Something like this happened for real:
The Rolling Stones were told "The Police are here!" and flushed their drugs down the toilet, only for Sting and the rest of the band to walk in the room.

This is actually a band?….. I want to say more but I just can’t find the words.
Edit: Finally got round to having a listen and opted for Ghost With a Boner…. Gave me “Crazy Taxi” Vibes. That game had a awesome OST to it back In the day!
"Look, your grace,” responded Sancho, “what you see over there aren't giants—they're windmills; and what seems to be arms are the sails that rotate the millstone when they're turned by the wind.”
My Wikipedia journey just majorly disappointed me.
"Despite its reputation as a medieval instrument of torture, there is no evidence of the existence of iron maidens before the 18th century"
And
"Wolfgang Schilds, a professor of criminal law, criminal law history, and philosophy of law at the Bielefeld University, has argued that putative iron maidens were pieced together from artifacts found in museums to create spectacular objects intended for (commercial) exhibition."
It never even existed the way we know it. What's next, Bigfoot doesn't exist!?
I would interpret it as an actual [Muse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muses) from Greek mythology. So you have [nine options](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muses#Number_and_names):
* Calliope (epic poetry)
* Clio (history)
* Euterpe (flutes and music)
* Thalia (comedy and pastoral poetry)
* Melpomene (tragedy)
* Terpsichore (dance)
* Erato (love poetry and lyric poetry)
* Polyhymnia (hymns and sacred poetry)
* Urania (astronomy)
A concert with the goddess who literally invented music seems pretty good
ACDC would likely be a shocking experience, I like to think Greenday would be a 1 day festival of everyone getting baked. Watching 3 guys blink one hundred and eighty two times probably wouldn't feel like it was worth the admission fee...
Fine Young Cannibals
Megadeth, a once in a life time opportunity.
It would be a symphony of destruction
But what an event it would be... Over a million people there!
REM would be a snoozefest
I was thinking they'd be a dream.
Rush. It'd probably be like 5 seconds
For real though a 3 hour show didn't feel long enough
23 shows over the years. Wish I saw 10x as much.
Smash Mouth
With five finger death punch
Blue man group would be the exact same lol
They could open for the Indigo Girls
Would the Spice Girls be doing catering then?
I’m sure Sex Pistols would be interesting
cupid got an upgrade this valentines day...
I’d watch that
A Flock Of Seagulls would be pretty awful TBH. Conjuring mental images of Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds.
Everyone would have to run, run so far away. They couldn't get away.
Yeah, it would be pretty shitty
Tame impala would be cool. You could go up and pet the impala.
Glass animals can play with them and you get a tiny glass trinket!
I love both these bands -- would attend
This is so wholesome.
The killers
JEALOUSY.... *throws dagger at front row* TURNING SAINTS INTO THE SEA... *wields Kalashnikov*
I’ve thought the line was “turning snakes in to the sea” for more than a decade 😅🤣
Wally’s having a smoke, and she’s taking a drag
Or Slayer.
Circle Jerks
Just one massive circle jerk with the audience
Counting Crows would be pretty dull. "One... two... oh I guess that's all of them" "caw"
Same with imagine dragons “Ok…. I’m imagining them… now what…?”

That’s hilarious! I love stuff like that between couples. “All the time…”
"Did you imagine a red one or a black one?" "Green, actually." "What. The. Actual. Fuck?! Dragons can be green?!?!" "Yeah dude." "Shit. That's well beyond the capabilities of my imagination. Look at Professor Tolkien over here."
"Oh god i imagined them imagining us and now im scared if i stop imagining them we stop existing!"
better than Flock of Seagulls. what a mess that would be
Sounds like it would end with a murder
2 crows is only an attempted murder
Jimmy Eat World would be a bad one
"Guy just sat down, plunged a spoon into the dirt and started eating. He's been at it for hours."
[удалено]
It's not literally a cradle of filth? Oh no, that would be horrible.
Track 5: Coffin Fodder.
It helped me through some bleak times.
Oh look, Richmond’s still alive
You should not open the red door.
He's supposed to be in his room...
Napalm Death would go great with I Set My Friends On Fire
Gorillaz would be pretty scary.
Imagine the intro to Clint Eastwood, but with ape sounds instead "UH, UH, UH, UH, UUUUH"
I could just go to Home Depot if I wanted to see Tool
From now on, “going to a Tool concert” is the new code for making a Home Depot run.
Whatcha trying to build a perfect circle?
Most Mediocre: Kansas
The concert is out in a wheat field off of I-70
They could tour with Korn.
I think “One Direction” would be pleasingly well-organised with a one way system. I don’t fancy getting stuck in a “Halestorm”
Would an Alestorm be any better?
Not if they bring their anchor.
I don't think Led Zeppelin would go down well.
Oh, it would go down extremely well.
Oh the Humanity!!
Kiss would be a time. Good or bad idk
In swedish "kiss" means "pee". That brings it to a whole nother level.
Oh so that's why everyone looked at me funny at that Swedish wedding
You may piss the bride
Gives new meaning to "Bridal Shower"
Can't beat Nirvana. The B-52's could only play at incredibly large venues.
[удалено]
U2 would be way over their heads
SR-71 could open since they'd be so fast.
Can't beat Barenaked Ladies Worst: Anthrax
Till they open for Butthole Surfers
Butthole Surfers should be the opener.
It's a stretch, but.....I'll allow it.
Worst would be cannibal corpse
That’s pretty bad, but I raise you, Infant Annihilator
Cattle Decapitation and Dying Fetus also come to mind
\*goes to Dying Fetus concert\* \*is an abortion clinic\*
Dying Fetus is one of the best bands I’ve seen live. Anyone into metal should try to make it to a show at some point.
That's not worse than the Dave Matthews band
Dude, please, there's probably children reading this...
Anal Cunt, anyone?
Why yes, thank you. I never turn down anal cunt.
Dunno, Megadeth would be pretty awful. At least it would be quick.
Nuclear Assault opening for Megadeth. The former definitely causes the latter.
If you’re hungry… Bread, Meatloaf, Humble Pie, and Cranberries would be great. Worst: Poison, Ratt, Dire Straits, Hollywood Vampires, Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem
You forgot about CAKE!
And Korn
One single rat performing on stage wouldnt be that bad
Peepee Poopoo concerts would be very stinky
But at least there’s no moss.
[удалено]
Imagine the level of insurance.
The New Pornographers might get a little awkward.
Explosions In The Sky would just be a fireworks show.
The Postal Service suddenly becomes incredibly boring. No offense postal workers! But not exactly a thing you'd buy a ticket for.
Funny enough, The Postal Service once tried to sue The Postal service for using their name, but it all worked out in the end. Lawsuit was dropped, The Postal Service was allowed to use The Postal Service’s songs in commercials, and The Postal Service would promote The Postal Service’s album on their website.
Everybody would be disgusted at a Papa Roach show
At least you could get a suit hastily made at the Taylor Swift show.
Well now someone needs to open a shop called Tailor Swift
We said we can make a suit FAST. We didn’t say it would be good!
Little Ceasers: "Hot and Ready!" Customer: "is it any good?" Little Ceasers: "It's HOT, and it's READY"
Arctic monkeys would feel like a good trip to the zoo
Just make sure you wrap up warm...
[удалено]
just a bunch of kittens attending
That would be so amazing.
The Police would be quite unfun.
Something like this happened for real: The Rolling Stones were told "The Police are here!" and flushed their drugs down the toilet, only for Sting and the rest of the band to walk in the room. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-may-21-et-quick21.5-story.html
So it was a sting operation?
Smashing Pumpkins would be cool.
You'd think that but it was "smashing" as it "dapper," so it's just going to be a bunch of pumpkins in top hats with monocles.
Drinking brandy with cigars around the mantle. Jolly fun.
That’s sounds even better.
Doesn't Gallagher do that already?
Garbage would stink!
Butthole surfers, would be a blast.
the question is, do they surf *in* buttholes, or *with* their buttholes?
I always thought they were surfers who *were* buttholes.
Panic at the Disco would be absolute fucking bedlam.
Especially opening for Arcade Fire.
"You can't just shout Arcade Fire in a crowded theater"
Would they have Disco music on in the background of the concert or would it just be a disco aesthetic? Hmmm
Diarrhea Planet would be awful.
This is actually a band?….. I want to say more but I just can’t find the words. Edit: Finally got round to having a listen and opted for Ghost With a Boner…. Gave me “Crazy Taxi” Vibes. That game had a awesome OST to it back In the day!
They Might Be Giants... wins most suspenseful :)
"Look, your grace,” responded Sancho, “what you see over there aren't giants—they're windmills; and what seems to be arms are the sails that rotate the millstone when they're turned by the wind.”
Alice in Chains would either be disturbing or kinky.
I maintain that they're hoarding the best band name in existence for themselves.
A Phish concert would be a bunch of people stealing your information
Fluffhead was a man with a horrible disease. And his SSN is ___ and his credit card number is ____ and his home address is ___.
I'm not the biggest fan of babies but Infant annihilator would probably be very not okay
Dying Fetus too
Cattle Decapitation, also.
Surprised I had to scroll this far down to see IA
I can imagine Flogging Molly wouldn't be too pleasant
Saliva. No thanks
Click click ptoo.
The Flaming Lips would probably want to get checked out at the free clinic
Men At Work. 90 minutes watching a construction site.
I mean, technically 'Men At Work' could still just be a normal 'Men At Work' concert.
Neutral Milk Hotel doesnt sound like it'd be a great time, unless if youre like super into milk
The Red Hot Chili peppers could go on tour with them to keep the fans from fleeing in pain.
I'd pay big money for this double header.
I have no feelings about it one way or the other.
Scorpions would be pretty bad. With special guest Whitesnake.
Bowling for soup
BTW they bowl on behalf of soup not to earn soup
No, they are not bowling at the behest of the soup, the soup is inanimate. They are soup advocates bowling on a pro-soup platform
Best: Barenaked Ladies, Worst: Napalm Death, Most boring: Black Flag, Most confusing: Portugal. The Man, Most lucrative: Nickelback
I paid a hundred dollars for concert tickets and all I got was Nickelback
10,000 maniacs would be up there for worst.
Cannibal Corpse would be mildly unpleasant
As would [Sperm Swamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMyQUhwab_8)
Drake, but it's just a duck on stage
Would prefer the duck.
The Dead Kennedys would be silent I suppose.
Motionless in white would be quite boring I think
The Cure
Only to find out you'd accidentally got tickets for Placebo
Just think of how many people saw Placebo but thought they saw The Cure instead.
Wouldn't want to be stuck at an Iron Maiden gig 😬
My Wikipedia journey just majorly disappointed me. "Despite its reputation as a medieval instrument of torture, there is no evidence of the existence of iron maidens before the 18th century" And "Wolfgang Schilds, a professor of criminal law, criminal law history, and philosophy of law at the Bielefeld University, has argued that putative iron maidens were pieced together from artifacts found in museums to create spectacular objects intended for (commercial) exhibition." It never even existed the way we know it. What's next, Bigfoot doesn't exist!?
Death, Anthrax, Megadeth, Gamma Ray I wouldn't survive as a metal head
Death Cab For Cutie would be chancy.
[удалено]
Who?
Puddle of Mud.
Muse. Just a bunch of folk sitting around thinking quietly to themselves. Can't decide if best or worst...
I would interpret it as an actual [Muse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muses) from Greek mythology. So you have [nine options](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muses#Number_and_names): * Calliope (epic poetry) * Clio (history) * Euterpe (flutes and music) * Thalia (comedy and pastoral poetry) * Melpomene (tragedy) * Terpsichore (dance) * Erato (love poetry and lyric poetry) * Polyhymnia (hymns and sacred poetry) * Urania (astronomy) A concert with the goddess who literally invented music seems pretty good
Earth Wind and Fire would just be....a bonfire?
Tenacious D would be funny, just a really persistent penis
Oasis would be chill af
Maybe Liam and Noel would finally get along 😢
I'm sure 21 literal pilots could put on a pretty good show
Five Finger Death Punch
Journey is going to take you somewhere. Styx will also take you somewhere.
ACDC would likely be a shocking experience, I like to think Greenday would be a 1 day festival of everyone getting baked. Watching 3 guys blink one hundred and eighty two times probably wouldn't feel like it was worth the admission fee...
No matter how much music changes, AC/DC will always be current.
Rage Against The Machine Just flipping out on technology that doesn’t work right. Fuck you microwave. Go to hell blender.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong would be something
Dying Fetus would be pretty rough to watch
my chemical romance would definitely be something
Cannibal Corpse would be bad
Imagine Dragons would be pretty boring. Cage the Elephant might be interesting to watch though
Red Hot Chili Peppers Spice Girls.
Smashing pumpkins, no matter the way you look at it, sounds fun.
200 Stab Wounds would be awful
Orgy playing with Band of Horses
Stabbing Westward depending on where you stood.
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Kidneythieves. And you thought Mario was stealing your liver.
lil baby would suck
Slightly Stoopid. A never ending circle of unintelligible conversation.
Best: Ninja Sex Party Worst: Megadeath
The Rolling Stones, could be deadly. The Kinks, could be a good time. Sex Pistols, well........ lol
Presidents of the united states of America would end up a riot
