Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[maddhatir]

So not scared by death for uttering "Van Haggar" my husband is a metal snob, so I dig it The issue I have with big venues is, well I have a small anxiety about really large crowds, lol And truly I've been spoiled by being able to go to clubs with less than 500 people and really getting into the music. I have seen GWAR on 2 different occasions, and the smaller venue was the best by far. I'd like to see Slayer one day living where I do (in no where land) they don't tend to tour this area much. Plus is it just me or do ya miss the days of the 80's big shows where it was Gen Admission and everyone just pilled in and the challenge was getting to, and staying in the front....That's why smaller venues rock lol But I'll suck it up for Megadeth....maybe even Metallica...lol

I hear ya about the anxiety. Not only that, I tend to have an "obnoxious-drunken-idiot phobia" The larger venues are filled with them.

I love the small venues b/c you are RIGHT there! At last April's Amon Amarth show we were sitting in the bar area of the club only a few feet from the band! You can bet I will get my butt in line early this May to get the same seats

All the small venues around here are general admission. It's good and bad. I like that I can choose where to sit- but, I am not crazy about getting to the venue early just to be sure to get a seat or to be close enough to see. Getting there early means, I have sat through a LOT of crappy bands just waiting for the good ones to come on stage.

Now were talking. How about Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Whitesnake from first row July 10th 1981 in Atlanta GA. Iron Maiden had their original vocalist Paul Dianno. Seen him last year, what a English bloke.

Seen Metallica many times in England one time with Megadeth opening.

Motorhead once in Germany.

Black Sabbath with Dio on Heaven Hell tour 1980.

Dio solo. Dio always over Ozzy.

Went to Oz Fest and seen Ozzy 3 weeks ago.

Van Halen original before break up.

KISS original then all other forms. Gene has a lot of my money.

Queen from first row. Brian May can rock. Listen to Brighton Rock

Anybody remember Girlschool or Godz?

NICE!!! That is a killer list!

I was just listening to MOB RULES ealier today ... Sign of the Southern Cross may be my favorite Sabbath song. Dio could do no wrong in my book.

I am a freakin' huge Queen fan. I started playing guitar due to my love of the 80s/90s shredders like Vai, Satch, and Nuno. But my heroes were Brian May and Mick Ronson (also love the Spiders from Mars). Hell, I even tracked down a sixpence reproduction to try as a pick like May and the Red Special. IT'S LATE remains one of the greatest rock songs of all time!

Thank You! Thank You!

I didn't have any major plans for this Sat Night so I've drinking some brews and listening to the Amon Amarth stream. I'm definately snagging a copy on Tuesday. Twilight is easily my favorite Amon album. It'll take a while to digest everything, but Sutur may be right on par with it. In an age where things seem to go downhill, they just keep getting better

Awesome!!! Hell yeah DIO > Ozzy for sure

Hell yeah Girlschool are awesome!!! NWOBHM 4 Life Too funny I actually listened to "Hit and Run" and "Take a Bite" the other day...I think they are still active, couldn't say for sure though...

I've heard of The Godz, solid band just not my style way too biker rock 'n rollish for me...Don't get me wrong I respect them just not my style

I would have loved to see Di'Anno live w/ Maiden...Unfortunately I was born in 1980 But I did see Di'Anno live December 2010 and he sang a ton of the Maiden classics so it was better than nothing....Plus Di'Anno is a mess so he is hysterical on stage...I wish I could repeat some of the things he said but they are not DIS friendly haha

I've seen every band on your list at least once w/ the exception of Queen...Who is their lead singer now? I know they have gone through a few..I don't think "Ripper" is doing anything, I'm sure he could fill in LOL

I started making a list of all the bands I have seen live since 1992 (I was 12 when I went to my first show) and I got overwhelmed I have seen well over 400 bands!! I can count the amount of times I wore ear plugs on 1 hand, I am shocked that I am not deaf.

Some bands I have seen the most live:

Pantera - 7 times
Slayer - 8 times
Black Sabbath - 4 times
Ozzy - 4 times
Anthrax -5 times
Megadeth - 7 times
Metallica - 7 times
Iron Maiden - 8 times
Judas Priest - 5 times

KANSAS ON the POINT OF KNOW RETURN

My First Concert:

Metallica - "Wherever We May Roam Tour" 02/29/1992 - Providence, RI - Don't remember exact seats but I sat in a side loge about halfway up.

They double encored 1st encore "Last Caress", "Am I Evil?" and "Battery" and 2nd encore with "Stone Cold Crazy"...I remember it like it was yesterday

My parents wouldn't let me go to the Stadium tour w/ Guns 'n Roses at then Foxboro Stadium that followed but at least I got to see them in Providence...My Father refused to sit through Metallica a second time within a year, but I was content that he took one for the team for the first show

 

[maddhatir]

How about Deep Purlple 1985 Perfect Stangers.

Aerosmith

Saw both a few times in the 80s! Deep Purple was incredible!

Here is the question:

what was your first concert?

Kansas on the point of know return

KISS- 1978 (accompanied by my Aunt and a friend's cool mom LOL)

 

[Brocktoon]

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CONCERT?

Lollapalooza '93 at JFK Stadium in Philly. Great lineup including Primus, Alice in Chains, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine.

For Rage's initial set, they came out on stage naked and just stood around with duct tape on their mouths in protest of lyric censorship.

 

[pheonixheart]

Well I'm gonna save the embarrassment of my first concert. My aunt took me and my parents didn't give me a choice, that's all I'm sayin!!!!

But MY first Official concert was Poison/Warrant Flesh and Blood Tour in 90 I believe it was....That was just the beginning of the end, lol My parents let me go alone at 14 to an arena show, lmao

Since that day I've seen sooo many different kinds of music. and I did get to see KISS on their 2000 "Farewell" tour, lol Original line up so that rocked...
I can't even name all the shows anymore but my favs are Hatebreed(many times), Lamb of God, Gwar(twice), All That Remains(so many times), Throwdown, As I Lay Dying(many times), Skid Row(don't hate, their new stuff is really punk influenced and I'm an Old School Punk girl)....THE RAMONES, Terror (many times).....Ozzfest(Disturbed, Korn, Chevelle), Godsmack(it was cool got to hang out with Sully AND it was FREE), Bullet For My Valentine, Atreyu, A7F(not a fan anymore)

That is just what popped into my head.

Nothing wrong with that!!! I wish I was old enough at the time to hit Poison.Warrant...Skid Row are amazing, Sebastian Bach is an amazing vocalist....

I have seen All That Remains live way too many times to count I live in Mass so I have seen all of the great Mass Metalcore bands All That Remains, Diecast, Shadows Fall, Within the Ruins, Unearth and Killswitch Engage way too many times to count....Probably a combined 45-50 times....same goes for Godsmack I saw them at least 7-8 times live before "Whatever" hit the radio and they got huge....

I used to like A7X as well but they got way too soft over the years...I love their first 3 albums though and still blast them loud and proud

 

[fenrir58]

Back in 08 I saw Girlschool- I think they're still together.

My first concert is more rock than metal(surprisingly), but it was AC/DC with Slash's Snakepit when I was 10. Some guy kept running out on the stage to put Slash's hat on and I remember thinking you know you've made it when somebody's job is putting your hat back on your head when it falls off.

70000 Tons of Metal Round 2: January 23rd-27th!

 

[AWHOFAN]

RUSH last night on the floor. Good show but too much new songs. Moving Pictures was great. Good sound. Neil is the drummer of rock.

AWESOME!!! I love Rush...I've seen them live 5 times and every time they made my jaw drop. That's the problem with great bands we always want to hear their old stuff but they are sick and tired of playing the same songs over and over again so they force the new stuff on us Not necessarily a bad thing, but not a great thing either haha

I agree....Neil Peart is a God...Easily the greatest Rock drummer of all time, no one and I mean no one can touch him...In my opinion the only guys that can come close to Peart are Keith Moon and/or Ginger Baker...

 

[Brocktoon]

I'll be seeing Rush this Friday ... one of my all time favorite bands! 2112 through Moving Pictures is Prog-Rock heaven

 

[AWHOFAN]

Rush Lots of new song in the first half. Intermission then they play Moving Pictures. The movie pre show and after are real good. Starts at 7:39pm. Good sound but less live footage of the band playing then other years. Like the last song, do not want to give it away.

 

[metalis4ever]

I've been so ridiculously busy as of late that I haven't stopped in here in a while, looks like no one else has either haha

So how is everyone doing? Any shows coming up?

I don't have any coming up but over the past 2 months I saw

Keep of Kalessian, Hate, Neuraxis, Belphegor and Sepultura - Hate and Neuraxis impressed me and Belphhegor stole the show...Sepultura was just blah cause Green is just blah on vocals...I hadn't seen Sepultura since '99 and I probably wouldn't care if I never saw them again...unless of course Max were to ever reunite with them.

Amon Amarth- They absolutely destroyed life and played 2 full sets


Blackmore's Night- So amazing, Blackmore is truly a Guitar God.
