Last fall at rockstar uproar, seen my favorite band HAIL THE VILLAIN!!!!! Also seen disturbed, and my second favorite avenged sevenfold, oh god it was amazing!!!! Still have my signed DC shoes and wallet in my safe. Gonna go again this fall! maybe it would be a good idea to not drink 6 rockstars in one night. But this year, after the concerts move inside im going to sneak out with my little duffle bag and fill it with rockstars when there putting them all back in the truck, I had my belt and pockets lined last year.

About 38 years ago I went to my first concert at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. Nazareth and Rush! A couple years later and it was Alice Cooper and Suzy Quatro. Alice fell off the stage part way through, and it was over. Apparently not to long afterwards he did the same thing in Edmonton that also ended the concert early.
We used to have Heart and Sweeney Todd for our school dances. Brian Adams was a member of Sweeney Todd Back then before he went solo.

Man I'm feeling old:eek:

First concert? Screwed if I can remember, but there are a few standouts...(I've seen a few:d )

Most notably, Iron Fawking Maiden. What a show those guys put together. Full on mayham from start to finish. Downfall was, Motorhead opened for Dio. Motorhead opening for Dio? Grow up.

My first was Van Halen on their Poundcake tour - Eddie fell off the wagon that day in Saskatoon and was totally smashed for the whole show. Alice in Chains opened for them and were great. 'Man in the Box' was the first rockin' song I ever heard live... good times. Oh and we were 4th row on the floor, pretty exciting for a grade 9 kid.

My first concert when I was 14 was KISS. Now my 16 year old son wants to go see the show! It's absolutely amazing that after so many years the next generation still loves the same bands and music.

that was 1972 in Edmonton. The audience was told to keep their tickets and when he returned for another concert you could get in for free...12 yrs later he finally came back to Edmonton. Great concert!
