Well my first gigs included as well: Pro-Pain/Temple of the Absurd/Run Devil Run and Graspop 1998 with Soulfly/Moonspell/Black Sabbath/Deftones/Coal Chamber
Hmm now that I think about it, Ancient Rites came before Soulfly, as Soulfly was in december (I guess) and Ancient Rites in summer, together with After Forever, Saxon (replacing Iced Earth which made me DEAD DEAD DEAD PISSED ), Within Temptation (in their Enter days ), Immortal (which I hated back then) and stuff like that. I was 14 then so I guess I must have looked dead ridiculous between all those grown up metalheads. Nothing comes near to the friend of mine who joined me then when it comes to being ridiculous though
Anthrax 1988/9?? ..they walked off after five songs cos ppl were spitting at them, the wimps. Everyone sat on the floor in protest after they walked off, the bouncers were fucking dog rough too, a few punters were taken off in ambulances after they got beaten up by 'em. There was loadsa hassle after the show with skins and punks too, I htough this was normal for a gig so
I had a balisong down me boot at the next gig I went to...just in case
my first gig ever was in a vilage called St.Athanasios in Thessaloniki Greece and the band was called TRYPES!
It's a really famous greek rock band and it was october 1994
