    In 2014, my Senior year in college, Eminem came to ACL. This was his only performance in Texas ever. It was my first and the best concert that I went to. It was truly worth going. Everyone, from families with children to businessmen wearing suits, came to listen to him. Every song sounded great. I loved it.

    I saw Em once. I go to concerts all the time. Seeing Joyner Lucas in October and Krewella in November.

    Being at an Em show is crazy. So interesting seeing people in their 60s next to 10 year olds. Literally every type of person you can imagine shows up. Crazy s--- man

    Saw Eminem live in the summer of 2011. He started off with Won't Back Down. Although i'm not a fan of that song, the crowd just went insane when he came out on stage, it was crazy.

    They had little mic issues, When Royce came out you couldn't hear him at all but overall it was a good show.

    And good luck trying to make your way to the front if you weren't one of the firsts to arrive.

    When we got on site there weren't that many people so we decided to get some drinks and do other s--- but it didn't take long before a huge amount of people were gathering in front of the stage. By the time we were back, we had to push our way through trying to go as nearest to the stage as possible.

    We got so many dirty looks and stiff shoulders lol. Even guys in their 40s trying to stop you from going through. We finally stopped somewhere not too far from the stage but not really that close either.

    Haven't really seen too many old people though. The majority were probably between 15 and 35.

    Was supposed to go to eminem at pukkelpop in 2011 I believe, but some fa----s died and everything got cancelled, then seen him in 2013 the day after survival dropped and he opened up with the song, the show was amazing, royce came out to perform fast lane & lighters too.. Saw 50 & G unit twice, had a meet and greet with schoolboy Q, went to see MF DOOM for only 10 bucks, went to a kendrick lamar show, saw KRS-one a few years ago and I'm going to a joey badass concert in november, all these shows have been SO amazing but seeing Em live was a different experience, show wise it wasn't the most wow, but it being Eminem made it extra special lol

    right so on sunday at leeds ems performance starts at 9:20, so does anyone have any suggestions on the time i should go to the main stage to get to the front? there are acts on the main stage all day though so people will stay there for a few hours at a time probably.

    You definitely should arrive early to be sure, but if Em gets on around 9:20, you'd probably want to arrive at 4-5 o clock or even earlier if you want to be safe and see how it goes.

    The time that I went was at a festival so there were other acts too. Eminem was the headline. I'd say big amounts of people really started gathering in front of the stage like 2,3 hours before he was set to perform. But it's been a while so i might not be 100 percent right.

    I recommend you just go early, like in the afternoon or something and chill, have some fun. When you start seeing more and more people gathering in front of the stage a few hours before the Eminem part, then you should probably try and find yourself a spot.

    Not that I recall, the '03 one was more slapping hands with fans.' 11 I struggle to remember, I was a little bit pissed and the Wembley one he didn't.

    He opened with the last verse of Bad Guy for the first time ever & brought Dre out

    Needless to say it was f---ing incredible

    Saw him on the Monster tour with Rihanna at MetLife. Just this year I've seen Metallica in Chicago and Roger Waters in Columbus. I've seen so many concerts I couldn't possibly list them all lol.

    yes I have, I went to both his concerts during his recovery tour in 2011 and rapture tour in 2014. It was amazing to see him up close, he's very good live, almost sounds studio. Here is my recording of Not Afraid, go onto the channel to see more
