I have only been to small punk/hardcore/crust shows at bars/basements/records shops. I would love to see Motorhead one day though.


Edit: Actually I used to go to raves/clubs a lot about ten years ago when I lived in Houston. I really only like straight up techno(and industrial) when it comes to dance music so I would say my favorite producers/DJs that I saw were Ritchie Hawtin, Chris Anderson and Andre Morant.

Talk about your ultimate repressed memories, I wonder what else is in there...
:lol: :lol: Sorry for your flashback. Lie down, it'll pass.

Saw Billy Idol on his Rebel Yell tour a lifetime ago.

When DEVO was fizzling down saw them at a local regular Dance Club. Very cool, a lot better then the crowded Sports Arena.

I only go to metal shows 'cos the high-brow stuff like The Backstreet Boys and The Spice Girls shows are usually sold out.

My younger overseas military days, saw tons of "Imitator" concerts in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and most notably Philippines. Talk about talent! The band on stage sounded just like the original groups back home. The big song in literally every singer's montage was "Dust in the Wind". Wasn't in Kansas anymore.

I think I've been to a few more concerts than that, but I can't remember lol.

I would have killed to see Rage Against the Machine. I remember I did a report on RATM in 4th grade and got an A+ on it :mrgreen: I would have loved to see Wu Tang. 36 Chambers is one of my favorite rap albums' ever.

Hell, I've only ever been to something they do regularly here in Florida called The Next Big Thing, which featured a variety of bands.

Not a big concert goer, which worked to my advantage once. Met my first girlfriend when I chose NOT to go to a big concert with some friends and went to this sort of internet cafe place instead. Must have been fate

I've been to a lot more than this, especially if you count all the DJ and MCs I've seen. I usually listen to a bit more obscure music in clubs where they only stamp your wrist, so unless I snaked a flier, I don't have anything to remind me that I went other than some good memories, but here's what I have ticket stubs from.
