House of Blues Houston

I didn't get to go as planned do to not enough funds, had to pay on my gas bill. My little family comes first before my enjoyment of going and seeing , 'My all time favorite band, Tesla'. But anytime that I have seen them in the past, which has been 4 times so far, and I hope to see them a couple of more times coming up in November of this year. Love me some, Tesla. I am your, ' TSLAGRL', from up North in Indian country in Oklahoma.

Holy smokes. I never got into Uriah Heep when I was younger and don't ask me why, it just never happened. Even though the band goes all the way back to 1967 and so came well before the other bands they obviously influenced, they sound to me like a mix of Saxon and Rainbow, with a bit of a Prog sound. The early stuff is definitely from the Heavy Psyche / Heavy Blues scene and reminiscent of very early Deep Purple and early Pink Floyds. Mick Box is one of the most amazing guitarists I have ever seen live, and I have seen most of the greats up until this point. Bernie Shaw is an AMAZING singer live, not especially, but REGARDLESS of his age. Great set of pipes even to this day. And as a special bonus you get Adam Wakeman, son of the famous Rick Wakeman who recorded worked with Yes. I'm a huge Jon Lord fan, and I can totally see Adam stepping into his shoes. Enjoyed the entire show and its nice especially at 60 years old to still learn about "new" music and be surprised and impressed by performances. Time for me to backfill my catalog and catch up now.

after 6+ years of wishing to see the amity affliction being 1 of the 2 bands i absolutely adore over any other metal band i finally got to see them last night and absolutely had the time of my life and every crowd surfed! thank you so much TAA for the amazing night full of so much fun, screaming, dancing/jumping around etc; truly the happiest to finally see you guys live! all the love, support and safe travels on all your other destinations! love you always!🖤😈🫶🏻🥺🔥

I can not even explain in words how this concert made me feel.... but I'll try. I have been listening to Maddie Zahm and Leanna Firestone for years, but hearing them in my earbuds or singing along in the car does not even come close to hearing and watching them live. They are so talented and they really know how to put on a show. This experience was just absolutely amazing and emotional, and it felt so magical to be there with them in person. This night was definitely the best thing that has ever happened to me!

Ministry & Gary Numan were amazing. Even Front Line Assembly were great, even though I was unfamiliar with their material. Only thing we didn't like were the abundance of a$$holes throughout the crowd. There were lots of awesome people too, just the a$$holes really wanted to outshine them. I rarely get into physical altercations, but I literally had to throw someone on the ground that wouldn't stop jumping on me. As Uncle Al would say...you Goddamn White Trash.

First Metal show i ever attended, this was the first band opening, and watching the lead singer get carried by the crowd during a song called Levitate was such a sureal experience. Im so glad i got their last shirt before running out and the guitaurist was a super sweet dude! I just wish i was brave enough to have asked for a picture! But im looking forward to the next time they come to Texas! I will sertainly be attending future shows. 🤘🏻😊🤘🏻

Atmosphere was amazing. In between sets, staff for the House of Blues was passing out cups of water to those at the front. Peyton created a family like atmosphere with the entire venue. He and his band, crew, and family are the most down to earth people I have ever met. Peyton took a few minutes to genuinely thank all of his fans for helping him to get to where he is now. I will forever support and spread the word of how amazing they are.

Mac Ayers can really SANG! His track “Where U Goin’ Tonight” was on my discover weekly on Spotify about a month ago and I was immediately hooked onto his sound. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect because I then discovered he had an upcoming show in Houston. My boyfriend and I attended the show last night and were blown away by his voice. I could tell he’s a little stage shy, (which later in the show he acknowledged) because he didn’t really engage or speak to the crowd between songs but I didn’t mind it bc after all I’m there to see him sing. Which HE DID! After seeing him live my boyfriend and I are now big MA fans. I highly recommend adding his music to your cuddle playlists ☺️😉🧡

The show was great. Light show was terrific. Maggie looked and sounded good though there was a recorded backing track simultaneously playing. The band was great, very heavy, though I heard not one guitar solo! The crowd was insane and sang every lyric but weirdly no encore! First time in decades I have not seen an encore for any band! She also didn't perform the song that made her famous ("Pretty Girl") but I imagine she hates this song now. The venue was at capacity but not unpleasantly so. The set wasn't long but wasn't a bad deal for the money. Hope she and her band come back. The Houston crowd obviously loves her. I was reminded of a young Paramore or Evanescence with the energy they projected. I like what I've seen of this band so far and I wish them success in the future.

This being my first experience with seeing Fear Factory live, I’m definitely disappointed at never having had the opportunity to see Burton on vocals. I feel the show would have undoubtedly been better, but he and Dino are very stubborn and polarizing individuals in many ways, so this is what we’re getting. The show was in most regards fine, though the production was fairly amateurish. They brought their Obsolete brain stems to hang on mic stands, but the decor was pretty barebones. I don’t know if this is typical of them, but it just seemed a bit limp. The band, being filled with experienced professionals, played basically perfectly, but you can tell Milo is still finding his place. He’s essentially in place as an heir to and imitation of Burton, and in many aspects he fits. He doesn’t have the clean power of his predecessor though. Not by a long shot, and this will likely hurt him until he truly gains his footing. Time and studio recordings will tell though. I’ll give them credit for it hiding anything in the mix though. Milo’s vocals are front and center, and they’re even a little higher in the mix then I would expect to make sure he’s heard, but I suspect this is to his lack of vocal strength. It was a fine live performance, but it’s a lesser performance over all.

Static-X are proving themselves to be a worthy act in this anniversary/memorial run of shows. Their performance is tight and professional owing to the members’ long tenure with the ensemble and Xero’s years of experience fronting his own band. There’s little to complain about with their performance as the vocal capabilities of the new singer mimic Wayne’s aggressive style well, and full reverence is on display without being schmaltzy and fake. The production design is even impressive given the somewhat resurrected nature of the band, and while it’s clear this is Static-X 2.0 nothing catastrophic is lost in the concert going experience. In this reviewer’s opinion, this is a memorial show done right.

As always these guys brought the heat!!!! I especially liked that they were not afraid to play a lot of new songs - may not have been the entire rest of the crowds favorite but as someone who has grown into adulthood and gone thru everything in between listening to these guys I for one really appreciate their new album for its more emotive soft side & seasoned maturity. 12 out of 10 will see them again no matter how many times!

I had such a great time watching Ari perform at the concert! She's really come into her and finding comfort maneuvering the stage, commanding the audiences attention. Houston showed Ari a lot of love and was singing all her songs right along with her! Shout-out to her opening acts Jai'Len Josey and Alex Vaughn too! They were wonderful as well. Great energy and crowd engagement. I would definitely see her in concert again even tho it too Ari about 45 minutes to get on stage after the last opening act 🤭

I needed the energy of this concert. They are such a good balance of high energy (mostly) and relaxed (just enough). The members are around my age, so it’s been great hearing their new albums and seeing them every year or two when they tour. The long-time fans and Emily had a moment during the acoustic interlude in the middle since the songs were from their early albums. Closing with Breathing Underwater has become a signature too. It’s a great valedictory.

We were having a good time, it's true a wonderfully good time.... My daughter missed them last time they came so she has been waiting for years to see IDKHOW and needless to say they did not disappoint! It was so great to be in a cozy venue watching the guys perform live. They sang some of our favorites and even gave of us some treats from the past. These guys are so talented and it was truly a pleasure to sing , dance, yell and cheer for the guys. And that opening band Superet was great.... Hey Houston liked the opening band .....

Who’s Bad is by far the best MJ Tribute band. They are such an incredible, amazing, talented group of artist who truly embody what MJ’s legacy is all about and bring an amazing show to the fans. With live amazing vocals, dancing, and music you can’t help but to feel the positive vibes from the band and the concert is more than just a concert. It’s a fantastic, fun-filled, beautiful evening with amazing people who you can tell work hard and are passionate about their music, MJ, and their fans. They take time after the concert to take pictures and give hugs to the fans and are the kindest, most generous people you could ever hope to meet. Believe me when I say you want to see their show. And they also have a new Show Evolution of Pop that is equally as amazing so go see that one too! James’ has an amazing vocal and dance talent and you get to hear him sing more than MJ at the EOP show. It’s awesome! At Houston James, the front man/lead singer remembered a promise to me and brought me on stage for “The Way You Make Me Feel” and it was the most beautiful amazing night. So please go support WB. I can’t think of a more deserving, dedicated, passionate , hard working group of people that deserve our loyalty and support. They are so talented! So please go support them!

This was my first concert AND the BEST night of my life!! I got to meet Falling in Reverse; Ronnie Radke was so kind and humorous, as we all expected! ALL 4 bands were AMAZING! The bands presented extremely impressive talents and performances! I was already big fans of 3 of them and the band I didn’t know definitely gained a new fan that day! I took a million videos, because I want to save this night forever. I can not think of another experience that can top this one!

One of the great progressive metal bands of all time. They just continue to put on amazing performances tour after tour. Really like the current lineup. Along with mainstays Jim Matheos (complemented by great lead work from Mike Abdow) and the timeless vocals of Ray Alder and rounded out with the unbelievably awesome rhythm section of Bobby Jarzombek on drums and Joey Vera on bass.. As a fan of the band since 1985, I can say that there are not that many bands that have come along in the past 30 years or so that can match the musical, lyrical and overall ambiance in Progressive Metal like Fates Warning. If you haven’t seen them, put it on your bucket list. You won’t regret it!!

Phenomenal show from on of the most unique bands out there. Al Jourgensen is a survivor in an unforgiving and cynical music industry. Not only has he done it his way for the last 30 years, he has continued to be innovative and relevant without being stereotypically cliche. The setlist was great for any true Ministry fan who has consistently followed the band for the past decades. Highlights included three songs in recognition of 30 years since the release of The Land Of Rape and Honey: the title track, Deity and The Missing. All sounded like they did when I saw Ministry the first time in 1990. However, Al saved the best for last as So What (my personal favorite) closed things out. Ministry proved once again why they are still a force to be reckoned with live. Can’t wait to see what Al will do next!

Thrice is incredible live! They do an awesome thing where they poll attendees to get a setlist so they genuinely play what you want to hear. Teenage Wrist sounded great and their guitarist handled a technical mishap on the fly like a pro and got a new fan in me. Bronx was wild. I wasn't feeling them at first but they definitely won me over with the attitude and energy. Lead singer jumped into the pit and started a mosh while he was singing which was unreal. Thrice followed up with monster tones and couldnt have been tighter.
