@beermeplease Going to concerts as a kid was never on the table for me. I had to wait until I got my drivers license and could take myself to shows. Kiss was my first concert, but I had to wait until 1988.
@BamPow 1980 was my first...mom took bro and me to cheap trick. then in 1986 i got to see metallica "puppets" tour with my older brother. that was the best concert i have ever been to.i was 15 then after that i saw every concert that came to town....everything from motley crue to ac/dc to alice cooper, judas priest iron maiden, slayer, all of the good stuff in the 80s. then pearl jam, alice in chains, soundgarden, and nirvana in the early 90s
@beermeplease Cheap Trick in ‘80 would have been incredible, because they were on fire at that point. I’m from the Chicago area, and whenever we’d go to shows in Rockford, you’d likely see some of the Cheap Trick guys if they weren’t touring themselves. I’ve seen Rick Nielsen join KISS, Velvet Revolver, and Alice Cooper on stage. Bun E. also joined Velvet Revolver, and they did a killer version of “Surrender”.
@BamPow i saw that concert in the summer going into grade 4 at maple leaf gardens in toronto. i didn't know much about them as my older brother wanted to see them so my mom took us while my dad drank beer at the royal york hotel (old famous hotel in toronto) and picked us up afterwards....but i was a fan since,
