[zeroMaximum]

the best ones :

Since i havent seen too many gigs i'll make a really short list.

1. deftones / a perfect circle - london
2. ill nino / chimaira / spineshank - stockholm
3. korn - stockholm

thats not the complete list of gigs ive been to, of course, but those would be the top 3. the worst gig ive ever seen was EVANESCENE... what the fuck was i thinking spending money on this shit?

it rocked

The first concert I remember was The Jeremy Days& Mad Romeo (unimportant german pop/ rock) when i was 15.
First metal: About a year later I went to a Kreator concert 'cause i won a ticket for it from the radio. All I knew was that this is a metal band and metal is something cool. I was impressed by all those cool longhaired beer drinking people and the noise that came from the stage...

 

[MoonsOfJupiter]

My first concert was Danzig , Korn , and Marilyn Manson in 1995 when I was 13. The first death metal show I went to was Cannibal Corpse in 1996.

 

[Windom Pearl]

I was 15 (still can't figure out how we got into the club) and saw Amorphis. This was a bit before Elegy came out. We had no idea who the fuck was that pierced bold guy who was hanging on the stage with Amorphis

 

[K-tonic]

The first metal gig was Darkthrone in Lahti, Finland back in 1991 I guess... I was 14 or so.

 

[antisc]

I think it was the Prodigy I was 12, I suppose.

 

[EmptyInside]

Well, i must admit, it was Kent... i was like 12.

 

[eternalhours]

MDB when I was 15. I'm young, what can I say!

First band I saw live was the Foo Fighters in April 2000. Went on to see them 7 times during that tour (seen them once here in England in 2002). Also managed to see A Perfect Circle (three times, I think), and Nine Inch Nails that year. Then Tool (once in the US 2001, once at Brixton Academy 2002).

First metal concert....OPETH, at a metalfest in 2000, I think, then again when they toured with Nevermore. Then over here in England in London and Birmingham, then Birmingham again almost a year ago (in about a week and a half). That was the last gig I've been to, actually. NEED MORE GIGS!

I still want to see Katatonia, but nobody ever stops at Newcastle and it's too expensive to go to Birmingham and definitely too expensive for London all the time.

 

[MadTinus]

First was some underground gig in Zeist where I live, a band called Creepmime (R.I.P.), forgot who else played.. It was in '94, I was 18 (pretty late to start attending gigs eh?).

First "big" concert was Lowlands festival in '94, where Gorefest, Paradise Lost and Biohazard played, among many other obviously.. It was one of the first times where I banged my (at that time still short-haired) head off.

The Tea Party, NOV 27TH 1999

 

[Incendiare]

First concert was when I was around three years old, and that was for Dire Straits.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

uhm... I can't remember exactly what the first show was, but the first metal concert was a local band that played maiden and priest covers... then I saw Kataklysm and Into Eternity last year. (I used to live in a very remote area and only recently I have been able to enjoy the experience of the metal concert.)

 

[lumen]

Hmm. If you don't count Mr Dressup (I still have his autograph) then I believe it was Gowan. I was probably 11.
