Your experience meeting the Offspring and/or seeing them live in concert.

["Melyssa K" Kennedy]

I very almost met Dexter. He was signing stuff after their gig in Manchester but I was too far back the line
However, seeing them was great. I went to see them at Pukkelpop in Belgium in 2009, and got the flight to Manchester from Brussels to see them later in the week there.
Much preferred the Manchester gig as it was a lot smaller and could actually get reasonably close, but both were really great.
One of my favourite parts of the UK gig was there was some little boy, about 10, on someone's shoulders singing along to all the songs. Pretty cute.

Here's some photos:

That's so cute, the boy singing along. Hey, who are the other guys in those photos besides Dexter and Noodles?

Oh, for some reason I put in pictures of one of the support bands. Think they were called Broadway Calls or something!

It's okay. I was just wondering.

I will always remember meeting them for the first time. Talking to Dexter about The Meaning of Life and how my dream came true hearing the song live, Noodles being surprised I have Ignition cassette booklet and how Greg made a joke while he was signing my CO1 wallpaper with smaller poster of Dexter underneath it and we laughed together That day was epic, not sure if anything will ever top that show.

Which time? Backstage? At a certain bar? Concerts? Hangouts?

I bet Noodles said stuff that made you laugh, didn't he?

Oh absolutely!! I loved how Dexter & Noodles interacted with the audience in 1999! It was such a fantastic show! That was the first time I saw them live.

The second time was 2004. I was really far back at that one. It was the Jammin' on Main Festival in Cincinnati.

The 3rd time was June 2009. It was at an outdoor pavilion in Cincinnati. I was on the lawn, but had a great view. They sounded awesome at that show!!

It's time I go to another Offspring show!! I wanted to go to the Columbus, Ohio & Indianapolis, Indiana shows recently, but I couldn't get the time off work.

That sounds amazing. I'm glad they are such nice guys. What was Greg's joke? Do you remember?

Haha, nice. I missed the show because Sandy knocked out my power, so I didn't hear your question, but I was the one who asked Noodles about his duct tape guitar. :3

Well of course, he pointed at the CO1 wallpaper and he was like "that's cool", then he pointed at the Dexter poster and was like "but what the hell is this?!" Here's Greg signing the Ignition booklet https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...12444698_n.jpg
