First metal concert

[Melody]

I don't know if you guys already had a thread like this but I'm new and I would like to know:

what was the first metal gig you went to? (which band(s) and where did it take place)

My first one was Morbid Angel (and two other bands which I cannot remember right now) in May 2001 or so.. was probably not the best gig I've seen but the first.. and I was new to Death Metal, so maybe you can imagine my first impressions.. but I liked it and time went on and my CD collection went bigger and bigger )

Funny thing.. I saw Vintersorg last year but I didn't know him that time and didn't really know who's playing there.. of course it would feel different nowadays to see him playing cause I know the music much better than back then..

Kiss in 1984

Metal concert? hm......does Van Halen count? If not, Metallica. Both in early 1993. Unlike many of you I started rather late with Metal....but I did my best to catch up

 

[Morgana]

A local band 1984

Oh, seems to me that I was a bit late concerning metal... well, I'm 20 and before I started to listen to metal, I was more into rock music (which led into the right direction I think, and I still like rock music).. my first "real" metal CD was probably Metal Dreams Vol.1, I wanted to listen to some metal but had no idea about it, so I just bought this one.. I was fascinated by the song "Razorblade Salvation" by Sinergy.. which by the way became kind of "OUR" song for me and my boyfriend (who I met during this period when I began to listen to some metal)..

I begin to wonder why I'm talking (or better said writing) so much here.. well, maybe a lack of conversation during the day or just not the right people here in my surrounding who I could tell all this...

Well, my mum did not let me go to a gig, I was listen to metal and hang up posters only... when it came to the fact of wanna see a band live... I had to wait until I got 18...

My first concert was the Red Hot Chili Peppers/Foo Fighters.

My first "metal" concert was probably a local one and I don't really remember the names of the bands.

My first tr00 metal show was Cradle of Filth/Nile/God Forbid.

 

[The Nomad]

Megadeth with Corrosion of Conformity opening back in '93... maybe '94. Actually, I'm trying to put together a list of all the shows I've ever been to. hard, but I'm getting a good start.

 

[Morgana]

I could not do it... toooooooo many shows on my list...

 

[manuelgv]

CoF in 1998....I still regret that choice
hehehe

 

[Tranquillian]

Blind Guardian in 1996.

 

[MeaCulpa]

Morbid Angel in 1993. Grave and Dismember were supportbands.

 

[Draugen]

Seems I was a bit late as well...
The first "real" metal-concert was probably Moonspell in -99. Now I'm not rambling 'bout meaningless demo-bands, local shows etc.
No wait, I saw Motörhead in Sweden a few years earlier....1996 perhaps? Dunno...

Hey Nomad, link isn't working. Is it because you haven't uploaded the list yet or is it an error in the URL?

I actually have a list of all gigs I attended as well. Helps keeping the overall view

in June 1991 i went to my first open-air alternative concerts, where a big Hungarian band played.. and a few weeks later i went to the Monsters of Rock 1991 - Metallica, AC/DC, Queensryche and Mötley Crüe played there.

Being young I wasn't allowed to go to them till just recently

Dimmu was my first.

My first show was back in 1994.. It was Fear Factory, Flotsam and Jetsam, Korn and Megadeth.. Great show.. I still have fond memories of leaving the show with no voice and not being able to hear anything.. Walking through a casion lobby (It was at Stateline Nevada) with a bunch of other people just screaming, with grandma's and grandpa's giving us weird looks while they were trying to gamble. ;-) And it was better that it was 4 "metal" bands, I think it was right before, or after Korn's first CD came out..
