I went to see Elton John & Billy Joel in '94 with my Mom. Yeah, it sucked, but it was the first show I went to. The 2nd show I went to was Metallica on '99. I smoked so much herb I didn't even remember it after leaving.

My first non-metal show was ZZ Top. That was a damn good show.

My brothers band, or old band. After that we went to another club. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. This bands vocalist says in a generic voice "this was the first song we made" and then when he sings he sounds like someone imitating their sister complaining. It was hilarious. Everyone started leaving. And he threw his jacket in the crowd and no one caught it. And thats when I learned something. Throw the jacket first so you know if people will catch you.

I also saw a Kiss tribute performed by School of Rock Baltimore which I recently joined. I'm going to be playing a show in January.
