AC/DC Razors Edge Tour. I was 14

Shannon said:


i'm 38

I'm 24. What's weird is that right after I typed the Tesla thing a Tesla song came on knac.com

I'm 33 but I feel 23 (sometimes 93).

I was cleaning my place the other day and found my Crue ticket stub and laughed my ass off.
So, I thought this trip down memory lane would be pretty funny

cool

i have most of my tix stubs somwhere

Primus at the Orpheum I think '95.

i wish i had kept track of what shows ive been to. i used to go to the Rat every weekend.... think i could tell you a damn band i saw there? :(

Clash of the Titans tour (Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer) in 1990 I think? I was 14 years old.....so much fun.

Fuck yes. I'm jealous of everyone that I've met that went to that. FUCK. I can remember wanting to go to that in 6th grade.

vivi said:



Yeah, the Crue was pretty friggin awesome.
I got 2 free tickets (lower arena, which were excellent seats). A shitload of kids in the neighborhood I hung out with went (picture spandex leopard pants and big ass hair).
Too funny, great show though!!!

Hooker said:

Yeah I went with a friend of mine and his dad. The dad was plugging his ears the whole time. I just remember Slayer being so goddamn loud!!!!! Anthrax was kinda goofy..you could tell they were almost done with Belladonna's crap. Megadeth was too political for me back then.....I wish I had the chance to see that same line-up at my age now...way more interesting.

metallica and slayer at giants staidum, 2000

i keep getting shocked by this thread.... either by how reccent these shows were cuz i keep forgetting age differences.... or cuz im jealous that i couldnt be at some of these shows... man i wish my parents were less strict when i was younger

I can tell you every show I went to from January 1987 to December 1998, I stopped keeping track after that.

Some shows from 1987:

thats kind of neat, why did you stop keeping records?

I think I forgot to write a couple down in 1999, so I just stopped.

You should see all the shows that I did keep track of for 12 years!

Phil Collins in 87 or so, in Paris at Bercy.

first metal concert, and i think it was the first bigger show i went to was morbid angel/exhumed/zyklon and soilent green should have been there but that was the year they crashed their bus.

i saw the pointer sisters when i was 6. my first real show was 1997, when i was 17 and i saw corrosion of conformity (my favorite band at the time) open for metallica. before that, i had no car, so i didn't go to shows.

Believe it or not, mine was Bush with No Doubt and Goo Goo Dolls opened!

hey autopsy post all the shows u went to at the rat from 97-98 that would fill in gaps for me since u were at a lot of em sellin merch

THE ROLLING STONES when i was 14 so fucking awesome!

Mine was ozzfest in 97 where i saw , pantera, tool, ozzy, type o negative and more

Metallica/ Danzig/ Suicidal Tendencies
