What was your first concert?

[Cygnus A]

Who are these smaller bands and what city are we talking ? Come on baby talk that punk rock to me

Oh man. This was easily 20+ years ago in South Texas (Corpus Christi), and I would be hard pressed to remember who any of the smaller bands were. I made trips to Austin/San Antonio whenver someone bigger was coming by. A few of them became semi popular I guess (Size 14, 30 Ft Fall, Mustard Plug, Reel Big Fish). I saw Blink 182 before they went mainstream. This was during my high school years. I moved up to Dallas for college and started hitting up some bigger shows as they came through. I spent my nights in Deep Ellum hitting up whatever shows came through. I got to see Blink 182 again, NOFX, Less Than Jake, Anti Flag, Dropkick Murphys, Unwritten Law. Tons of bands I either forgot names of or never even caught their name to begin with.

Thats why I had to ask . I saw a lot of those acts before they were huge as well and wanted to see that list of whos whos . I too have sadly forgotten way to many bands that I have seen over the years but when you go weekly they add up

Oh yeah and Bad Religion. How could I forget. My favorite band for years. I saw them 3-4 times I think.

[The Diplomat]

First real concert was KISS farewell tour in Raleigh, I think I was 12 or 13.

 

[Brodels]

Did they play the chris benoit song or was that before they made it

No clue whatsoever. If it helps,it was 1997 I think.

Type o negative and pantera. Back in 94, I believe. It blew my newly teenaged mind!

Boy am I jealous of you

[Philo-Publius]

I'll never forget it

Arch Enemy, DevilDriver, Skeleton Witch and Chthonic.

Thought my kidney was gonna explode got destroyed first time in the pit ahhh good times.

What was yours?

I am ashamed to admit it was Poison at Merriweather Post Pavilion. I was only 14 and my cousin gave myself and my other cousin tickets for free. It's a good memory even though it was Poison.

Around what year? Poison seems like they'd be awesome to see in the 80's.

[HereticBD]

Officially, I think it was Edgefest at Molson Park in Barrie. I believe Creed headlined.

Creed....*shutter*

If that wasn't enough, Nickleback was playing on the second stage, 'cause they weren't shit at that time.

So yeah, Nickleback and Creed. I repeat, Nickleback and Creed...


I'm more of a Stage Play guy these days. Don't go to many concerts anymore.
