Strung Out, Pennywise and All in '96 i think
Shows count:
This thread makes me feel old....and I'm 28.
Or mine LOL...
First show Ozzy circa 1982 right after Randy Rhoads died. I think Brad Gillis was the replacement. I remember being very dissapointed about that but I loved the show. Back then Ozzy was METAL! Especially to my 12 year old brain.
Most recent show was Nile and Psycroptic. I've very much enjoyed the evolution of "heavy" music over the last 30 years...well except for that mid-late 90s stretch...LOL
You're in the SF Bay Area?. I was born and raised there. If you were 12 in '82, you are about my little brother's age. Two or three years younger than me. I never got to see Randy live. Wish I could have.
I agree about the mid to late 90s stretch. That's about the time I put my guitar down for an extended period of time.
I'd probably be unable to count all the shows I've been to. The only one I have been keeping track of is that I still need an Iron Maiden show to get to 20. 20 Iron Maiden shows, that is.![]()
Pennywise sounded like...pennywise.That sounds like it would have been amazing.
Weird, what was wrong with the mid to late 90s?
You had progressive metal really taking off, stuff like Meshuggah really came and pushed the boundaries with rhythm guitar and in general a ton of Swedish bands doing a lot of cool stuff with heavily guitar orientated heavy music.
And hell that's probably only a fraction of all the good guitar stuff from that period.
As far as I'm concerned from Black Sabbath to today, there has never NOT been a period that has been good for heavy guitar music

My first one was supposed to be KoRn in 2004 with Linkin Park and Snoop Dogg, but skipped out on it because of the supporting acts (said I would go next year) hating myself for that.....
