[ZoSoRose]

Mix Master Mike with CKY as openers at Philadelphia's First Union Center in 2002.

made me crack up

sorry man

[Chloe]

Wow. You folks in the US love our Michael, don't you? I have a friend in NY who is a mad INXS fan too. Ooh, I feel quite proud to be an Aussie at this moment. That doesn't really happen all that often.

You should be proud! INXS is amazing. They are one of my favorite bands! Always have been since I was a kid.

[Johnny Drama]

In terms of Aussie music they weren't as good as early AC/DC though. A very close second I'd say. JMO

[77Jesters]

First show I went to was the "Barbed Wire Ball" back in '94?... Featured The Poor, The Screaming Jets, and The Angels, (and some dodgy support act called Who's Guilty) What an intro to Aussie Rock

Got to meet The Poor, and had a CD signed (no idea where it is now, was stolen from me years ago )

music went from

I was underage at the time (just), but ended up downstairs and in the mosh anyway, brilliant night.. not enough bands come to Tassie, got to make the most of it when they do... Was devastated Horsehead didn't come down here with them (They did the mainland tour from what I remember), Would have loved to have been at Calder Park in '93.. Horsehead, Skid Row and Guns. Three of my fave. bands at the time, apparantly Slash played a song with Horsehead.

Yeah Angry talks too much, he should just shut up and sing.

The guitarist of Rose Tattoo was standing next to me for some of Slash's gig

Afaik its like a Gn'r situation but everyones dead I think.

[Guest Satanisk_Slakt]

I don't really know.

It's a bit unfair, because my mother never took me to any concerts, but she took my two oldest sisters to lots of stuff. Like Aerosmith and Iron Maiden in the 80's, GNR in 91 and more. I'm so jealous of them.

[Guest Len B'stard]

At a leonard cohen gig, kinda punk ass, buncha old white people

[Tater Totts]

Iron Maiden in 2007

[spunko12345]

Slash's snakepit in 1995, then Prodigy shortly after.

But if I'm being totally honest there was one before that. Jason Donovan in 1990. I ruined my impeccable concert going stats by starting off with a dud.

I suspect some of you saying cool bands as your first gigs might have some skeletons in the closet aswell.

Just like I want to say Suicide Is Painless by The Manic Street Preachers was the first record I bought. But unfortunately i didnt have the foresight and it was preceded by If I Could Turn Back Time by cunting Cher.

In terms of Aussie music they weren't as good as early AC/DC though.

Now that is really something to be proud of!

[Guest Len B'stard]

Jus walked out of a leonard cohen gig, damned if im basing a weekend round this shit

[Redhead74]

At a leonard cohen gig, kinda punk ass, buncha old white people

Yep! When I saw the man in 2010 I was probably the youngest person there, lots of old people all sitting there reminiscing the good old days, probably wishing they were back in the 70s smoking a joint and having lots of casual sex.

I walked out after 5 songs, that was fuckin lame..

[Redhead74]

WTF??? I dont believe it! The man was amazing when i saw him. Bummer Lenny!

[Guest Len B'stard]

WTF??? I dont believe it! The man was amazing when i saw him. Bummer Lenny!

Thing is i banged out a bottle of vodka before i got there, having never been to a seated gig (cept Noel Gallagher but i was up front and ended up standing anyway) and i'm 22 rows back in Wembley Arena, watching this little dot 50 miles away, with a bunch of old leather-faced mummys staring at nothing...remembered why i loved punk so much, cuz it's hands on, small places, eyeball to eyeball, a sea of writhing bodies floating over and through and around each other, this was a load of fuckin' bullshit, i'm too young for that shit...or too drunk...was a waste of fuckin' time, i don't pay money to sit down and watch some shit like i'm at the movies, clapping politely, fuck that. I dunno what i was expecting, the guy is in his mid 70s but still, fuck, i ain't that fuckin' knackered yet to be going through that shit

Honestly? Was a bunch of fuckin' bullshit, either that or my traditional gig routine of slingin' half a bottle vodka beforehand was perhaps badly timed in this instance.

You would hate the Symphony then which is too bad as a good classical symphony is amazing.....then again I hated it too when I was your age but got into it as I got older and realized how incredible a symphony orchestra sounds.....

Shit man I give you credit for going at all..when I was your age there was not enough Vodka or spliff in the world that would have got me to go see Leonard Cohen..the only thing that might have swayed me back then would have been if I was taking some fine trim who wanted to go hoping I would get some later that night as a reward and even then I would have had to smoke a fatty before hand....
