Really digging accept's Blood of the nation's cd right now...lol

Seen maiden and priest about 20 times each,And all a fucking experience my friend...lol

Not sure I'd say I'm a metalhead, but definately seen my share of metal bands
Judas Priest
Motorhead
Black Sabbath
Dio
Ozzy
Anthrax
Metallica
Alice in Chains
Van Halen
Motely Crue
Scorpions...the list is pretty long now that think of it, going to concerts has been a passion of mine for a while now

That's one hell of a list of shows.

Doesn't beat mine I think. But you probably have more years left then me. I've only done two this year and have only two more planned for the year, but to date I'm at 148 shows since age 12. Not counting the ones I forgot or state fairs where I have seen some greats from the past like Motley Crue, Journey, Alice and Chains ect.

Love the Scorps. I first heard the Blackout album and some of the earlier ones just a few months before my first show ever in 1982. Thank pete my cousin got me into them and stuff like AC/DC early on.

Always been into music...spent all my money on going to gigs and stereos and albums {see how old I am lol}...been working since I was 15 and most if not all my cash went to music...it was and still is my major form of expression and escape

Love the Blood of Nations album. I'd never thought I could like Accept without Udo but Mark is pretty damn good. Glad Wolf is there.

IM and JP account for about 18 of my concert totals. I missed a lot of shows in the early to mid 80s because of age restrictions.

Same here friend.

My dad hated my music, he look at my LPs and cassette tapes, shirts and anything related to music not as if they were evil or anything, but he could never understand why I would want to spend all my money on it.

I do admit I've wasted many thousands on stereos. lol I currently have my dream home system but I'm actually debating about throwing something new and nice into my ride like the old days, even though I almost never use my car. It's a great hobby and lifestyle either way.

I once fought a guy 3 years older then me when I was in Junior high 8th grade for breaking my WASP self-titled album over his knee after he grabbed it out my arms because I made the mistake of taking a shortcut through the Senior high parking lot going home. I saw red after he broke it, then nothing. We beat each other bloody until two teachers pulled us off of each other. I think the only reason I felt I lost was because my album broke. I needed the cassette anyway.

Never got to see Pink Floyd live, just Roger Waters.

Just missed Maiden, Def Leppard and GodSmack(weird lineup) at a Rock fest in Wisconsin in July. Haven't seen them since the Final Frontier tour with Dream Theater.

Yes, I grabbed the cd/dvd combo in May. Good stuff. Nuclear Blast label.

I bought Pink Floyds "The Wall" in very freak'n format since it's release...many times due to people coming over for a party and getting it scratched to shit or someone walking away with it....damn the money I spent on record needles alone is probably enough to choke a horse.
But my mom always said...You work and pay your way, whatever else you do with your money is up to you.....don't come crying to me when it's all gone, now get outside!

 

[Mindmelted]

Bang'n some restless and wild now.

The folks next door hate me,But i own my home! So ...

 

[thehole]

I have bought that album more then a few times myself.

My cousin who got me into metal who worked at one of the only metal record shops in mn in that day gave me much of my stuff which really helped me afford weed and beer in the early days. $5 was a lot of money at that age.

LOL

We are in an awesome neighborhood, or I should say block, where there is mostly 20s-40s aged folks. My one neighbor is a DJ so he is out all hours of the night and blasts his shitty music so he don't care, and my other neighbor works nights so on weekdays and weekends I can go ape shit with volume. I invested heavy in my home system so I'm going to fucking use it.
Music really carries here though so when some serious shit like Slayer or Sodom or some Black Metal is going there are some fearful glances sometimes from joggers and old folks walking by. I always love blasting hell awaits by Slayer if I catch a local politician or church group coming toward my place soliciting. good stuff.

Love Pantera, Phil and Dime(RIP). They just didn't make my all-time cut mostly for not having very many full studio albums out compared to most metal bands of that stature. As for talent and live performances they were amazing.

The pre-Cowboys From Hell albums are ok but not great. IMO And after Cowboys and Vulgar, even though I enjoy Far Beyond and Trendkill, they just didn't have the same ???????? that Cowboys and Vulgar had. And Reinventing was only so-so. Again, IMO

Aye I'm with you man, those are my prefered albums aswell. And indeed the pre-cowboys stuff isnt really my cup of tea either. I think I have the respect for them that I do due to the talent that you mentioned. Maybe they werent the most prolific though. Been playing guitar for 8years and I'm only about able to play cowboys from hell now hehe, challenging stuff.

 

[tehgenoc1de]

Nice list Capt.

Akercocke
Cryptopsy (Disalvo)
Hate Eternal
Deicide
Death
Suffocation
Aeon
Pantera
Obituary
Spawn of Possession

Damn 10 really is hard.

I miss my hair sometimes. Grew it for about 7 years, was past my mid-back. Killer. Had to chop it off to work around mills and lathes.

i was into a lot of metal as a teen ager.. my first concert was ozzy, metallica opened up for him.. cliff was still alive, it was the master of puppets tour and metaliica were simply awesome..

just saw maiden again this summer with alice cooper..

my buddy wanted to go to the mayhem tour, motorhead, slayer, anthrax and a few others, but i wasn't really feeling it.. really wanted to see motorhead and slayer would have been awesome i'm sure as well..

Ya early Pantera was basically bad glam metal and the Power Metal album was a mix of harder thrash type metal with glam and it just didn't do it for me. It's what was in at that time I guess, and in order to get anyone important to listen to your music you had to follow a genre. Now don't get me wrong, I loved/love some glam/hair metal bands WASP being one of them, but whenever a band tried to mix genres together like that it never went over well for too long.

I have a Charvel Desolation and an old Fender I still jam on now and then. Nice Marshall stack I bought used in 2002 still goes. I can do just about any Pantera rhythm from those two albums, most metal albums, but solos take much concentration and practice to maintain and I have just too many other hobbies and ills keeping me busy. Very challenging art.
