Motley Crue’s Dr. Feelgood concert in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1990 or 1991.
I’ve also met the Crue. They are definitely a motley group of fellas. Tommy was especially cool and cordial. [/quote]

Do tell!!!

One of the best shows I ever saw was the 94 lollapalooza (sp?) that I had front row tickets for at Fiddlers Green in Denver Co. Smashing Pumpkins headlined and gave a thunderously brutal sonic guitar display of their songs off of Gish and Siamese Dream. Rocket, Cherub Rock, Today, were played against a kick ass light show. One of the best I’ve seen.
I saw the Crue on the Theatre of Pain tour at Mcnickels arena in Denver and also had front row center stage seats. I threw a T-Shirt on stage that Nikki Sixx held up for the crowd and got two drumsticks Tommy threw out and numerous G-picks and a scarf Nikki was wearing. It was like jumping for a hail mary pass going for those items when they were thrown out.
I also saw them at the aforementioned Hawaii, Dr. Feelgood show at the Blaisdale arena.
Aerosmith in 87 after they sobered up was a pretty powerful show. Steven Tyler put on a kick ass performance and Joe Perry was the man slamming those riffs!
First show I ever attended was the Scorpions Blackout Tour in 82 with Quiet Riot opening for them. Come on feel the noize…
Pantera, Sepultura, Prong 1994 Raleigh
Metallica, GnR, Faith No More 1992 Columbia, SC
Nirvana 1990Cat’s Cradle Chapel Hill,NC
AC/DC, L.A. Guns 1988 won tickets from radio station(WBCN)Providence first row center. Deaf for 3 days
My more memorable metal/hard rock shows…
GnR with Skid Row - great show
GnR with Soundgarden - terrible show
Metallica with Kid Rock - great show
Widowmaker (Dee Snider) - twice in a little bar called McGuffey’s in Dayton OH… awesome!
Great White - twice, at McGuffey’s, great shows.
Quiet Riot - at McGuffey’s bar, fun times!
Van Halen with Silvertide - pretty good, Sammy is better this time around
When I was in Honduras, this band called Hairbangers Ball came down there on the USO tour. They played 4 nights in a row and it was just crazy. They have stage names like Chris Crotch, wear spandex and wigs. Great party band! Check them out at http://www.hairbangersball.com
LA
June, 2004, Velvet Revolver at the state theater in detroit.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, owns a stage the way Scott Weiland, lead singer of velvet Revover, does. The best frontman in the world, bar none.
LA, if you can’t get enough of Hairbanger’s Ball, come up to Chicago. They play every fest and at Joe’s on Weed just about every weekend. If you like watching 80s cover bands, they are great.
Black Sabbath`s concert last month.
1-Cephalic Carnage around 1999 , montreal
2-Candiria 1998, L?vis , Quebec
3-Cannibal Corpse/cryptopsy, 1999
4-Dyng Fetus/Skinless …Destroy the opposition tour 2000
Day on the green, oakland col.
Metallica headlined with a new band soundgarden at that time. Many others i dont remember.
IRON MAIDEN 5X summer 1985 up and down the coast of Cali.
CLUTCH the boardwalk in Sacramento

Just saw System of a Down at the Long Beach Arena friday night. Fucking intense. Mars Volta opened (what’s with the lead singers fro?). They’d be a lot cooler if it was the 70’s. Metallica Summer Sanitarium (July 4, 2000) was pretty bad ass too.[/quote]
I was at that Summer Sanitarium tour on 7/4 (in Baltimore, right?). It was awesome.
Metallica always delivers live. Just saw them this past October in Philly w/Godsmack. THey played almost everything off of Lightning and Puppets.
Other than that, the Jagermeister Tour last fall with Slayer and Killswitch Engage was incredible.
Biggest regret? Never seeing Pantera live…
Nick
either
a) tool @ the bryce jordan center in 2002. enough has been said about tool already
or
b) metallica at summer sanitarium 2003. it was the first time i was able to see them, so i felt like a lil kid on Christmas morning. unfortunately, the rest of the show left something to be desired. mudvayne opened up and was awesome; unfortunately, they were only alloted about a half hour of stage time. this was followed up by a 4+ hour shitfest of the deftones, linkin park, and limp bizkit. now, i love the deftones, but they were absolutely terrible. as for stinkin park and limp bizkit, i don’t think i need to elaborate. fortunately metallica played for 2.5~3 hours and made me feel like the $70 bucks i spent on a ticket was actually worth it.

For me:
Dream Theater - August 30, 2000 Roseland Ballroom, New York (Released as the Live Scenes From New York DVD/CD)
Pantera, Soulfly, Morbid Angel - Hammerstein Ballroom, New York (3 straight shows in March of 2001 - best pits ever!)
Pantera, Slayer, Morbid Angel - June 21, 2001 Nassau Coliseum, New York - (Pantera, Slayer and Morbid Angel all on one show…holy damn…)
Actually, Dream Theatre is about to play a concert here in Tucson. I thought about checking out the show since they have one of the greatest drummers to ever walk the earth (at least, they used to). I haven’t followed the band so he might not be pounding the skins anymore.
Portnoy, Petrucci, and Myung are Dream Theater. They’ve been together and Mike’s been the drummer since 1986, way before they called themselves Dream Theater. I jump at the chance to see them anytime they’re in town. If anything they’ve only gotten better and more technically proficient as time has past. The one show they played in NYC that I didn’t go to since I started listening to them happened to be the show where they played Metallica’s Master of Puppets album in its entirety. Always have been and always will be amazing showmen. I will be at Jones Beach for them on the 23rd.[/quote]
A good friend of mine knows James LeBrie pretty well. I got to meet him and hang out back stage during his solo tour ealier this year. LeBrie is an incredibly nice guy. We sat around his dressing room drinking beers and talking hockey for an hour.
He’s not really metal, but Alice Cooper in the Orpheum in Boston in the early 90’s.
Slayer and King Diamond at the old Channel in Boston. The place didn’t have tables or chairs, just huge chunks of wood that couldn’t be thrown.

you really missed out bro! \m/
Iron Maiden’s Brave New World tour (Queensryche and Halford opening) at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, IL. Three of the best vocalists in all of music (Halford and Dickinson are my top 2 anyway).
Iron Maiden also totally kicked ass in Indianapolis at this year’s Ozzfest. I did not mind that Black Sabbath was not able to perform.
Any Iced Earth show, especially the tour for their Glorious Burden album.
Slipknot is a fun show anytime they are on tour.
Slayer and Judas Priest at Ozzfest 2004 in Chicago, IL.
Guns n’ Rose at Maine Road (Manchester) in 91… maybe 92. They were supported by Faith no More and Soundgarden, who were both fucking awesome, and GnR were at their arrogant best.
They reached their peak during that tour, but the writting was already on the wall; what with shows being postponed, and Axl acting like a total dick.
This is heresay of course, but I know someone who worked in the hotel where they were staying before the gig, and she reckons that Axl was so coked out of his skull that they had to carry him to the venue, and the whole time he was wailing about his girlfriend (some supermodel).
More recently I saw the Darkness in Bristol, and they were pure entertainment!

I saw STP and the Chilli Peppers from the first row center at Pine Knob in Pontiac.
I gotta say Wieland is a freak. He was wrapping his feather bowa around my wifes shoulders, but he looked like he would be more interested in the both of us.
All in all a life changing show.
