[tchambliss]

Sepultura, Type-O-Negative, Ozzy Osbourne 1996 Retirement Sucks Tour. It was the greatest especially considering I was like. . . *thinking*. . . 8 or 9. He even used Beavis and Butthead as a gimmick. Odd memories of that night. It was a great one though.

[Slabbefusk]

Slayer will be my first.

[Infinity]

The Living End

[The Doctor]

Rammstein in 2000 Amsterdam. Last time they tourned "small" venues. They set the place alight!

my second one was deep purple thoug and third metallica :cool:

I'm seing maiden, megadeth and velvet revolver this year!

[shimbolla]

I've never been to any real concerts. :(
Personally, I don't see the need. I hate parties. And they're kind of like parties. Of course, I'd be willing to play a concert. But I'm just not the kinda guy to go see one.

[Transient]

dave matthews band

[Ten Ton Alien]

Manowar, 1998.

[sqol]

Cradle Of Filth, with Akercocke supporting, so Akercocke were the first band i saw :)

[L,B'XXX]

fred penner and mister dressup..... lol seriously i havent been to one yet, but i almost got to see slayer (friend didnt think he had enuff tickets for me to come, but when he had one it was 2 late) and i almost got to see motorhead (they fucking cancelled!!!)

I LOVED Fred Penner's show!!! Awesome. :)

The first band I ever saw was a local one called Ox that played at our 6th grade dance. Too bad nobody was into that type music when they played. It was heavier rock and about everyone I knew was into top 40's. I still remember the red hotpants with the white polka dots that I wore. Ewww! lol

The first 'real' bands I ever saw were Rush and Ted Nugent in the 70's. Then probably Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, Alex Bevan and Michael Stanley Band (they're homeboys), Peter Frampton, Satch, Dream Theater, King's X, Styx, Paul Rodgers, and Billy Squire. And this July I'm going to see the Moody Blues and I can't wait!!!!!!

Bob's first was Ozzfest with his dad and a school buddy.

[L,B'XXX]

Sorry for the double post. It wouldn't let me edit.

edit: I saw Godsmack and Metallica. Shows how impressed I was. I forgot them and that was the last I went to.

[TheLeviathan]

Cradle Of Filth, with Akercocke supporting, so Akercocke were the first band i saw :)

:beer: :love:

[Tulvox]

The Haunted/Damage Plan/Shadows Fall

Needless to say, Damageplan stole the show.

[BeastOfCarrion]

Metallica circa. 1998

[Cloaca]

The Offspring and Eskimo Joe, about 97-98.

[LordofStorms]

Megadeth in 97 or 98

[Nihilist]

Helloween, back in 1998 i think.

Sad but true. :p
Dude. Helloween rock my socks.

[BeastOfCarrion]

Dude. Helloween rock my socks.
Even more than Wizard?

[fatdanny]

Unfortunately mine was One Minute Silence in 99, I was 14. Rap metal with an irish singer..... hahahaha, those were the days.

[younguitarist]

Dying Fetus

[Bia]

Agnostic Front & Hellwitch
Sister took me when I was 14
It was small.....less than 500 people.

[MyOwnSavior]

Tool with The Melvins

[timedragon]

mine was In flames a few years back. and i have yet to get the rush i recieved in that one. I am not a person who likes to mosh, nor did i do it here. Im more of the one who stands somewhat hypnotized in amazement because they are actually seeing one of their heroes, or group of heroes in this case.

[tchambliss]

dave matthews band

I'm sorry. . . . . . .

[Soulinsane]

Pantera with White Zombie :lhdevil:

[EURYDICE'S SHADOWS]

Primus

[Daryl]

Cult of Luna I think... *shakes head* That was an aweful experience. One of their songs was just them picking notes from chords for about 10 minutes, then a really slow boring drum fill. Some distortion in the guitars (very slow powerchords) and then the singer literally ran back on stage from wherever he had been, sang around 10 words and the song ended.

We left after that.

Then a few days later, Slipknot, Slayer, Hatebreed and Mastodon. THAT ruled. :vampire:

[Kylito]

Day on the Green at Oakland Coliseum 1985

Scorpions
Ratt

Victory

So technically, Victory was the first band I saw.

You've probably seen me before. I'm the tan dot of ink in the twentieth row on the far side of the coliseum in the picture on the back of "Master of Puppets". ;)

I was curious if I still had the ticket stub and couldn't find it with the main collection, but I've attached a photo of some classics...
:beer:

[fatdanny]

Hellwitch

Nice, Hellwitch are great, I'd like to see them.

[VizThisAl]

Donington 1995, Metallica headlined.

I was 16 and the first band i saw that day was Machine Head so they're the first band i saw.

[thedarkdream]

I've never been to a concert of any well-known bands, only local. It's really expensive... Nightwish have been in romania last year and Therion are gonna play next month... it's just sad. I can't go.

[cw4119]

Lol, mastodon last friday. awesome.


Cult of Luna I think... *shakes head* That was an aweful experience. One of their songs was just them picking notes from chords for about 10 minutes, then a really slow boring drum fill.

I know exactly what youre talking about. theyre on tour w/mastodon and my god i wanted to shoot myself. same thing, over and over and over.....

although if the songs a lot shorter they woulda been great. so ill give them that much.

[Zertonshfits]

first live show i went to was Mr. Dressup a long time ago... i thinki was like 6 or 7... then i saw the Moffats in 97 or 98... then Sum 412 years ago... :sickface: :sickface: :sickface:

the first GOOD show i saw was Bucket Truck, Damage Plan, and Slayer... Best. Show. Ever. :beer: my neck hurt for a week because of the moshing/head banging... i got steped on by a fat guy while standing up :p

[BlackRoseImmortal]

Machine Head in '94, back when they were good.

[Robbie Filth]

Cradle Of Filth, with Akercocke supporting, so Akercocke were the first band i saw :)

Shit that would have been a great night shame I never heard about it!!!

Well seeing i like both bands and have seen them both live and both on the same day but not stage. Im talking about download festival 2004.

Akercocke are Better live than on the Albums so I reommend when they come round this October go see them!!!!

Anyway My first well i been to local stuff like saw beef conspiracy and a few others but first proper big band was probaly like System of a Down or something.

motley crew

[mudvayne_bass_player]

KISS whe I was 8 during their final farewell tour.

[Donzi]

Van Halen – the first tour (clearly showing my age). I’ve seen six other Van Halen tours since then and the one last year was the worst (if it wasn’t for Sammy it might have been the worst concert I have ever seen). I think Eddie is done.

[kin]

Iron Maiden with Motorhead and Dio, in September of 2003.

[Pineappleystuff]

I've seen alot of little shows by random local german bands
but

the first real concert I ever saw was a few months ago, anti-flag in this little bar in germany and I moshed and almost got squashed but it was fun!

about a month after that I went to nurnburg to see bright eyes play with the fain, and that was a fucking religious experience. Conor was drunk as fuck of course and he played his guitar while standing on the bass drum and then he stood on the keyboard and feel off that. it ruled.

[LordofStorms]

Lynard Skynard

EDIT:Well Megadeth was the first metal band I saw.

[Monolithic_Cannibal]

Napalm Death back in 1994 on the Fear,Emtiness,Despair tour

[low-tech]

the second lalapalooza, in like 94 0r 95 or something, i saw p funk, tool, the boredoms,fishbone, alice in chains

[humancorpse]

Godsmack, and they were shit :smash:

[MorbidGuitar]

[davie_gravy]

Heh,

First show was Lynyrd Skynyrd, but after that I've seen...

Metallica, Pantera, Godsmack, Slipknot, GWAR, Lamb Of God, Morbid Angel, Slayer, Damage Plan, Soil, Blindside, Staind, Disturbed, Systematic, Buckcherry, Kid Rock, KISS, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Slaughter, Night Ranger, Ted Nugent also, stuff like Collective Soul, The Black Crows, The Eagles, + many more I can't think of...

[Dissection]

Iron Maiden in 2000.

I've also seen:
-A Perfect Circle, Snake River Conspiracy opening.
-A Perfect Circle, Burning Brides and Mini-Kiss opening
-Tool, Phantomas opening
-Lacuna Coil, Daylight Dies and Tapping the Vein opening
-Ozzfest 2001
-Chimaira and Machine Head (ugh, MH suck), Trivium (fuck yes) and Noir opening.

Locally:
-Fear Before the March of Flames, Morning Abroad, and the rest I didn' see
-The Sleeping and PAULSON, The Goodwill, The Twillight Collective and Ritter opening.

And no, I have not gone to really any metal shows. The closest venue is up in Philly (45 minutes) and my ride has to be into the music I'm going to see, with the exception of Chimaira (we were at Disney).

[BURYyourDEAD]

I don't think shows at the grange count...im sorry. Fear B4 was the shit though.

Oh yeah, the Trivium show at Disney World. That as fucking nuts. We need to go back.

[ToXiC NaPaLM]

Def Leopard in '93 :behead:

[TheDreadfulHoroscope]

Carlos Sanatana in 99'

[Subsonic6string]

Glad to see that some of the other Metaltabber's are around my age... My first REAL concert was Black Sabbath at Maple Leaf Gardens for the Born Again tour in...what...'82? With *hangs head in shame...* Quiet Riot opening. I'll never forget how purely EVIL Ian Gillan looked on stage. Nor will I forget them doing Smoke on the Water for a first encore!!!!

Second show was Exodus for the Bonded By Blood tour at Larry's Hideaway (R.I.P)

Cheers

:beer:

edit: I had tickets for Metallica on the Master of Puppets tour, but gave them away after Cliff died. Nothing against Newstead (sic) but he's no Burton...

[BURYyourDEAD]

Ozzfest 03 The first band i saw there was Cradle of Filth. I hated them at the time but ive grown to love them.

[ihave27frets]

Iron Maiden with Yngwie Malmsteen, I think the year was 1986? And look at what I play today...thats ironic.

[DeathCS]

Yes.

[newHELLonEARTH]

you just said yes to make the reply count 69 didn't you?

[DeathCS]

no, the first band I ever saw in concert was Yes.

[Nihilist]

oh YEAH? Well I seen Morbid Angel in 1244.

[DeathCS]

:p the bands name is Yes.

[Marduk]

First concert was Morbid Angel
But 2 months before that I went to a metal festival (Wâldrock). Don't know witch one counts :p

[Pr0az]

Staind....when they were good :p

[northerndarkness]

My first concert, I was 12 and a half years old when I saw Hypocrisy (Peter was the shit) who was at the time my favorite band, Dark Tranquillity, and Soilwork. Soilwork sucked though. Hypocrisy was the best. A few years later, I saw Zyklon, Enslaved, and Gehenna in Oslo. Best concert of my life.

[Dyldo]

Haaar.. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in (I think) 2000.

[moe_blunts]
