Damn, you've seen a lot of kick-ass shows.
Back in 1986, some of my friends were going on and on about seeing Metallica live. They had opened for Ozzy Osborne. I decided to go to a local record store and pick out 3 random heavy metal albums (cassettes), just to see what the fuss was about. Prior to that, that hardest music I listened to was AC/DC. One of my choices had to be Metallica, so I picked "Master of Puppets" because it was their newest release. Right next to that was another metal album with cool cover art from a band with an awesome name. It turned out to be "Peace Sells" by Megadeth. Sticking with the 'M' section, I grabbed "The Dark" by Metal Church, again based solely on the cover art and band name. I still enjoy those albums to this day. Those choices were pure ****ing luck, but I was hooked after that. A couple weeks later, i bought "Reign In Blood" by Slayer. |

Also Armored Saint after seeing them and hearing them I would have sworn would have hit it big - Funny thing, I saw Helloween open (who did make it big but in Europe) for Armored Saint and they both opened for Grim Reaper! I remember thinking that shouldn't Grim Reaper be opening for those two bands instead!? |

Back in the day, I saw Anthrax open for Iron Maiden, AIC Slayer Anthrax and Megadeth at Clash of the Titans in 92, Soundgarden with Danzig and again opening for some glam band. Also saw Pantera and White Zombie and a host of punk/metal bands at the old Outhouse in Lawrence. Last edited by Spott; 04-19-2023 at 07:19 PM.. |
