The first band I ever saw perform live was when I was about 10 or 11 years old. We were on a family trip to Disneyland in California and New Edition was playing inside the park. The first band I saw on purpose and actually bought tickets for was Motley Crue.

You were exposed to Blackie Lawless's codpiece at such a young age? Haha. I love W.A.S.P. and with Slayer? What a badass first show!

I wish i had some profound band to say like Slayer for my first show, but i believe it was Korn in the mid 90s. It was before i discovered 80s metal and that's pretty much all i listen to now. L.A Guns, Ratt, W.A.S.P., Dangerous Toys, Shotgun Messiah, etc.

Skid Row (Slave to the Grind tour) w/ Pantera (Cowboys from Hell tour).

Pretty safe to say this day changed my life.

Life Sentence (second wave hardcore/crossover)outside of Chicago, January 1, 1989. There were about 600 crazed punk rockers, metal heads, skaters, and skinheads there.

The very first band I paid money to see was Steppenwolf. The first song they played that night was Magic Carpet ride and the last song of the evening was Monster (a truly great song, check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDFKphodBQI )
