Metallica destroyed the place and pretty much cemented my status as fan of the heavier side of music for life.

That reminds me of another similar concert tour. I went to Clash of the Titans @ the Philly Spectrum. I think it was 1991. Alice In Chains opened (Facelift era), and rotating/sharing headliner duties were Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth (they'd take turns being the headliner). Was an amazing show.

One thing I remember though is people not being into Alice In Chains. I was one of the few people getting into them. Not many had heard of them at this point. Sort of funny because they became so huge later.

One thing I remember from this show is that I didn't have hearing protection. My hearing didn't come back to normal for four days. I was actually worried I had permanent damage for a few days there!

Ozzfest 2004. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slayer, Mastodon all in one day. It fucking blew me away. I was 14.

unless you are talking about an "ozzfest day" in europe i'm pretty sure Mastodon was not on the ozzfest 04 show. to be back on topic: Metallica was my first ever concert, Ozzfest first ever festival thing, and King Diamond was my first ever metal show. king diamond was/is the shit!

 

[mortal treason]

1999 Black Sabbath/Pantera tour, ozzfest was my first fest i went too back in 1998

My first concert was Rush way back on their Counterparts tour, in 93 or somewhere around there, at the Memorial Coliseum in Jacksonville, Florida. My first metal show was Opeth, with Lacuna Coil and Yakuza. Yakuza was atrocious, but Lacuna Coil freaking rocked and Opeth was truly magnificent.

Does a lunch-time concert preformed by 5 sluttly English girls count? because I suppose if it does, that was the first "concert" I went to...pretty disturbing really....bad music and guys who were just entering puberty having a concert by these five 20-something girls from england who preformed at our school because some girl at the school won a radio competition to have these girls preform at our school.


Other than that, the Shihad concert last year.....my plans to get to Fantomas, Electric Six and Billy Corgan were all thwarted by my un-18ness.....that's thankfully changed now though, no more missing concerts for me, no sir. And i'm going to Opeth on Saturday, so that's going to be awesome....

 

[Khayman666]

I don't remember the first I went to (my parents started taking me from when I was too young to know what a concert was), though the first one I remember practically pissing myself over was Alice Cooper in (I think) 2000.

GNR
Metallica
Faith No More

at Olympic Stadium in Montreal back in 1991 ???

Hetfield burned his arm. GNR played 2 or 3 songs, gave all 50,000 of us the finger & left.

Then all hell broke loose. I was probably 11 then.

Faith No More was the highlight. They're the only ones that played their full set & it was great.
