aboz56 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 When I was 6 yrs old, saw Michael Jackson. That was the only concert I saw in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 mooch, I think you're forgetting that this board is made up of 50% 17 year olds... did they even see any concerts in the 90s??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I was too young to appreciate anything in the 80's except for Playmobile and Pound Puppies (don't worry, I only had 1) but lately I have learned to love 80's Rock. I like Guns N' Roses Poison Bon Jovi White Snake Warrant (were they early 90's?) a couple Twisted Sister songs and of course who doesn't like Eddie Money? "take me home tonight" I profoundly hate most 80's progressive/pop music though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 My list is WAAAAAAAY too long to give here. I attended my first concert in 1983, so my main concert going existence was in the 80s. I still have my ticket stub books in the garage somewhere, but this is off the top of my head. A short list: Motley Crue and Saxon, 1983 Aragon Motley with Whitesnake, Horizon ( now Allstate Arena ) Metallica 4 times between 83 and 89 Van Halen with Hagar 86 Scorpions INXS Slayer 4 times Rush twice Suicidal Tendencies 88 Cubby Bear Guns N Roses/Skid Row 89 Stray Cats Angel City too many more to mention Also saw many comedy shows, including Steven Wright Dennis Miller Andrew Dice Clay Sam Kinison Bill Hicks If I can ever find my ticket book, I'll list the insane amount of shows I went to. But I still have my hearing, even without earplugs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 You saw the dice man? Yep, saw Dice back in the Angry Comedy era. My buddies asked me earlier this year if I wanted to see him again, and I just laughed and said, "What year is this???" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Never went to a concert in the 80's, 90's, and so far in the two-thousands. No interest on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I don't remember the specific years (since I smoked dope most of the '80s), but I saw Rush, Duran Duran (I'm so ashamed), U2, Flock Of Seagulls (LMAO!), Huey Lewis and the News, Journey, Elton John, Warrant, Motley Crue, and Dio. Most of the time I just went because I wanted to please my first girlfriend (who had a body to die for). Needless to say, the torture of some of those concerts was worth the reward. Phewwww. I need to take a cold shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach23 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Naked Raygun - numerous times. Dead Milkmen - numerouse times. GBH Anthrax and Celtic Frost at the Aragon - started a nice pit in the back behind the folding chairs Suicidal tendancies at the Riviera and also at Medussas - Mike Muir signed my hat Generation Waste at both the Igloo and the Bank 7 Seconds at the Bank Murphys Law CroMags The Replacements - numerous times Certain Death at Medussas Lost Cause - numerous times. Best shows were at Medussas, Joe Kelly would have his bulldog with him. 10,000 Maniacs and the Connels at the Metro in 1987 and many more that I have forgotten due the the alcohol haze I was in during most of the 80's. We once went to an all day show at Dirty Nellies that included 9 bands. I don't even remember who they all were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one show some random girl wrote "I Want Your Sex" on my Gang Green t-shirt ( yeah, I know, but she was hhhhhhHOT! ) Never did hook up with her, though, and my shirt was poisoned with a George Michael lyric forever.....DAMMIT. And at the Anthrax show at the Aragon, some jackoff was kicking people in the pit, so I snuck behind him and swept his other foot out when he kicked. He took MUCH physical abuse when he fell......heh heh hehhhhhhhh..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them collapsed as I was jumping and I missed the crowd and fell on my head. I also split my pants at that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
