All I know by them is that Fireflies song (I think its them) that was playing everywhere a year or two ago. Every time I heard it I wanted to kill myself. Horrible shit.

I've been to in the neighborhood of 200 shows. I'm 54 and started going to concerts in like '72 or '73. For me to answer it would be difficult as I have seen pretty much everyone who's music I like save for The Who and Elton John (who I still have a chance to see at some point obviously). Of course there are others, but.......

 

Many of the bands I like I've seen multiple times of course. The ones I am most proud of are the ones that tour rarely like The Tubes or ones that are no longer with us like seeing Ozzy with Randy Rhoads on the Blizzard tour, the REAL Lynyrd Skynyrd in '76 before the plane crash and Zeppelin in '77 before Bonzo's death in'80.

 

My greatest regrets in concert attending are having several chances to see Queen (with Freddy of course) when they came to a city I lived in and not doing so cuz at the time I didn't appreciate how unique and talented they really were and not seeing Floyd with Waters (saw them 3 Xs without him in'88 and '94) though in fairness to myself I always lived in a town that they didn't come to when they toured in the 70s and with The Wall in the early 80s (would've had to live in L.A. or N.Y. to see that).

1st ever concert

 

August 20, 1988

Iron Maiden

KISS

David Lee Roth

Megadeth

Guns N' Roses

Helloween

 

"This was the year two music fans were accidentally crushed to death during Guns N' Roses performance of "It's So Easy." The tragedy was initially blamed on crowd disturbances: in reality it was a fateful combination of people at the front of the 107,000 strong audience moshing and slipping in the mud (it had rained heavily) in conjunction with a sudden surge to see the band."

 

I was down near the front when this happened, but on the right hand side of the stage - it happened on the left side.

 

Shows after this include:

 

Metallica with Danzig support x2

Slayer with Nuclear Assault

WASP with Zed Yago support

Well, I save my pennies and dimes every time they come 'round. Seems they do it about every two years or so. Surprising since they always sell out whenever they come near me.

I saw Judas Priest also in the 80's - the Opener's at the time were Bonfire and Warlock (Europe 1986/87 'Turbo' Tour and 'Ram It Down' Tour)

I'm not sure if Saxon ever opened for Judas.

I'm big on the 80's & seen everybody it seem's,

I would never be seen dead at a Posion concert back then ! no.gif

 

But . . . . yes.gif

 

Just recently Posion was on a triple bill with Cheap trick & Def Leppard.

My girl wanted to go, like's Def Leppard alot, I was talking her out of it for above mentioned reasons,

But more & more of some of my best friends were wanting to go, So I finally did see Posion & Bret Micheals.

Over all 1 of the Best concerts I have ever been to, MOSTLY because So many of my closest friends there & we all were able to hang out together.

They had alot of fun jabbing me when Posion was on stage & during Posion My girl's, best freind, did actually 062802puke_prv.gif
