what was your first show?

[Go Now Your Lord Is Dead]

Nile, Hypocrisy, Soilent Green, Decapitated, Raging Speedhorn, and With Passion @ the Worcester Palladium, February 4th, 2006. I have the ticket stub on the wall in front of me.

Amon Amarth and Testament. I choose not to count the other bands because they were atrocious.

It might be fun at first...but after 250+ shows trust me you won't care as much.

Went to a one day rock festival in Bristol, April 2002. One Minute Silence and Raging Speedhorn were supposed to be there, but pulled out last minute. Saw Onedice (first pit and damn near broke my jaw on a tent post), some of Sick Of It All, some other bands I can't remember and Pitchshifter, which was sweet 'cos Jello Biafra came out to do his part of As Seen On TV.

Heh, I agree. I did that at first too, but nowdays a concert ticket isn't really as special anymore.

 

[Valerie]

Pearl Jam

 

[Go Now Your Lord Is Dead]

Well considering where I live the 250+ shows isn't something to worry about...
And the walls of my room are a collage of photos of my favorite artists, national geographic pictures and other weird stuff so the stubs go perfectly.

My first show was Gigantour '05. You can only imagine how impossibly epic that was.

 

[ohiogrinder]

my first show, embarrasingly enough, was X-fest with the Deftones and Green Day.

I've gone to better shows since then, including seeing Sabbath on their initial reunion tour.

did you go to the dimmu borgir devildriver show?

yes... sound was crap for dimmu... eureka eh? that's about 5 hours from me

 

[Matt]

yes... sound was crap for dimmu

Sound was shit here as well. It doesn't help that the club sound guy doesn't know wtf he's doing.

Yeah I know how you feel, nowadays, to be isolated from most metal tours, especially when a lot of bands seem to be playing Hartford as the eastern terminus of their tours, instead of Worcester/Boston. Most tours go through Montreal but driving there from here isn't as easy as you think, there's no direct highway route and it takes much longer than it appears.

And not having a car doesn't help either.

That's the problem with Maine. The thing that sucks for me was I wanted to go see Heaven and Hell when they were touring because they were going to play about 15-20 minutes away from where I used to live. Right when I found out they were gonna tour my parents told me we were moving to Maine.

 

[Zephyrus]

There are worse things in life than moving here, my friend.

 

[mutantllama]

There are worse things in life than moving here, my friend.

Besides the isolation of metal tours I love Maine. I just wish the people bought the house a few months later.

 

[Zephyrus]

My sentiments exactly.

 

[Ender Rises]

My first real show was Family Values tour 2006. *twitch, hides head in shame, etc.*

Hey, it was free for me. My brother bought the tickets.
