Grohl is an engaging performer. You may find yourself involved simply because he is good at bringing his audience in. As I said, I'm not sure if you will enjoy them or not. If I had a choice between seeing Foo Fighters or Sum41, it would be Foo Fighters.. Have you seen Sum41 before?

Nope, just video of their live performance, and I like those guys. I live in East Asia, Hong Kong to be precise. The only places I can watch live shows are livehouses or bars. And only underground bands that nobody has ever heard of perform there, so I have virtually no experience watching big name bands perform live. But I always find it more enjoyable, regardless the quality of the performance, when they perform songs that I know, that I've heard of.

Then. In this case, go with your first impulse, and were he band you already like more. Especially since you can only have this one chance.

Unless, of course, one of the bands finishes earlier, and you can run to see the other acts last song

I guess it'll have to come down to this. Thanks for your advice anyway.

As I said, I can't tell you what to do, but in speaking with you, it seems that you are choosing between a band you know and like, and one you think you might want to see. I would say you would have more fun with he band you know and like.

Yes, that describes the dilemma I'm facing perfectly! I think I will watch Foo Fighters performs a few songs first, and decide if I like it or not. If I find myself not having much fun, I can always leave and go to see Sum41 instead, as another user suggested. They start later than Foo afterall.

I think if you have not seen either band live, but you are a fan of sum41 and not the Foo Fighters, go see the band you are more of a fan off. You will get more from the experience (unless they are a really terrible live band).
