[Berserker!]

When and what was it?

[SactoUnited]

Dropkick Murphys/Blood for Blood/ Ducky Boys

March 20th 04, great ****ing show.

[S.T.I]

Anti-Flag 03. Amazing at the time but these days i think it was crap.

[Iron Bug]

Against Me!/Planes Mistaken For Stars/No Choice
Nov 04'

[dropkickstreetpunk2]

I don't remember my first punk show. I think it might have been Dropkick Murphys and The Guts.
My first hardcore show was the other night. With Honor, Death Threat, Pale Horse.

[lynch_me]

My first punk show was with local bands. MY first hardcore show was with Agnostic front, champion, outbreak, full blown chaos

[asdf]

My first show was local punk/ska bands. It was actually an outdoor concert. I was only 12 years old, so I just observed everyone from afar. Later I found myself going to a lot of local small venues to see the same bands.

[underyourgun]

It was some local bands, and Madball. Like a year ago.

[Tyler]

My first show was Death By Stereo, Misconduct (some euro hardcore band) and Tsunami Bomb...some other bands played too I think...don't know if that counts. My second show was Pennywise, and Murphy's Law played. My first show that was all hardcore bands was Risky Business, Say Goodbye and a bunch of local bands

[thomas is fast]

Well my first show was Warped Tour in 03 and I saw The Unseen, DKM, Rancid, and Poison The Well.

[south_guitar]

A few weeks ago. A bunch of local bands.

ESIM, Dino Damage, Army of Fun, Love in the Time of Cholera, and This Time It's War.

I don't know how to two step or any of that stuff so I sort of felt out of place, but there were a ton of other newbies along with me. My friend introduced me to all the "scene" kids. It was cool.

[One Step Beyond]

Warped Tour '04, if that counts.

[Zion Gates]

Nov. 20th '03...rancid / tiger army / the disasters

If Warped Tour does not count, it is Flogging Molly with The Briggs and Street Dogs in October last year.

Mind eraser was bad *** when I saw um in Cleveland.

[JACK!]

Local bands for punk. I think Knuckledust were the first Hardcore band I saw though. I can't remember when either shows were exactly.

[xstraightedgex]

I saw Bad Religion play at Slam City Jam in grade 9.

[bryce_the_cat]

my first show was social distortion with tiger army and the explosion. My first hardcore show was terror, comeback kid, MLIW and some other bands

[kingdead]

Bane are still better than any of the other bands mentioned. Quit being little jimmy hardcore's.

[Feel The Darkness]

It was awhile ago, thus the only band I remember from the show was Die Young, who were headlining the show.

[CarrionBirds]

most precious blood a long time ago

[victimofreality]

Bane are still better than any of the other bands mentioned. Quit being little jimmy hardcore's.
Bad Religion?

[NewKindofArmy03]

Anti-Flag/Paint it Black/Pipedown/Thought Riot in Oct 2003. It was awesome, a lot of my friends went.

[SactoUnited]

Local bands for punk. I think Knuckledust were the first Hardcore band I saw though. I can't remember when either shows were exactly.
Do you have a full length you can send me by them? I love the stuff I've heard.

[kingdead]

Bad Religion?

Apart from Bad Religion. Thats like a given.

I saw them for the first time this summer, they were headlining a festival, the new slow singlalong intro to generator is way one of the most memorable moments ive ever had at a show. I just remember being blinded by blue lights and just kinda screaming the words at the roof of the tent.

[whiteminority]

my first punk show was my friends band the ripoffs, and my first hardcore show was a bunch of local bands like last year and it owned.

[Rockafella]

Blood Brothers/Mewithoutyou/Dredg/Coheed. Its the only one that is near hardcore.

October.
My friend is going to that, where do you live?

[DaveToopes]

my first punk show was social D.

[kingdead]

[ZaaR]

Warped '04 was my first punk concert, but my first hardcore show was last week I think when I saw Converge, Terror, Mare, and Cursed at the Opera House in Toronto.

[Tjebby]

My friend is going to that, where do you live?
I already went. I live in Iowa.

And Pat wins for the best first show.

[heyimsheep1]

Besides Warped and shitty local metalcore, I saw MDC and Instant Asshole last Wednesday in Livermore.:thumb:

[TheNowhereman42]

Other than local bands, the aquabats

[40 oz 2 freedom]

dont be a dick.

So it's cool when you say if you think a band is better than someone elses favorite band, but I'm a dick when I do it? Quit trying to act like the wise older guy.

[fan of the game]

A few weeks ago. A bunch of local bands.

ESIM, Dino Damage, Army of Fun, Love in the Time of Cholera, and This Time It's War.

[kingdead]

So it's cool when you say if you think a band is better than someone elses favorite band, but I'm a dick when I do it? Quit trying to act like the wise older guy.

Disagree all you want, just dont do it with condescending little jackass smilies.

[BuddyBigsby]

:rolleyes:

[Feel The Darkness]

Disagree all you want, just dont do it with condescending little jackass smilies.
:rolleyes:

That's what those smilies are for. Now quit being a phag and agree that everyone has there own opinion on good bands.

THE OMNIPOTENT HAS SPOKEN!

[kingdead]

I never argued that captain copybuddy. Im out.

[AndreTheHyena]

:rolleyes:

My first "punk" show was Blink-182 about four years ago, I guess. And after that, Warped tour. It was a while before I went to an authentic punk rock show.

My first proper 'core show was Dillinger Escape Plan a few weeks ago.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Anti-Flag/Paint it Black/Pipedown/Thought Riot in Oct 2003. It was awesome, a lot of my friends went.
Oh, and my first all hardcore show was probably March 04, the line-up was Death Threat/Punishment/Subzero/Pride Kills/Skare Tactic/Will to Live and another band or 2 I can't remember.

[dislocated214]

Strike Anywhere, The Unseen, and The Loved Ones, before that it was Coheed/Underoath/3, but I didn't like underoath very much.

[drumindave]

you live in richmond go see INTEGRITY and IRON BOOTS
Don't support integrity, Dwid still plays by that band considering he robbed the orignals of credit the name is pretty ironic cause integrity has no integrity anymore.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Still go see Integrity.

[PostHardcore6859]

Not really punk or hardcore but my first show(other than the local band scene) was Blame It On Rio, Emanuel, A Change Of Pace and Senses Fail...

Also went to Warped Tour '05 this year.

[Tyler]

First show was Death By Stereo, Misconduct, Tsunami Bomb and Captain Everything. Twas a great show. I think Bigwig played too...yeah they did. I think I left near the beginning of their set.

[JACK!]

Do you have a full length you can send me by them? I love the stuff I've heard.

Sure. I'm in Uni now though so I can't use SlSk, but I can YSI it and mail you the link if you give me your email address. Anyone else who wants it just put your email down too.

[sketchyjoe]

Bowling For Soup, Jesse James and Farse when I was 14/15. It was awesome and me and my mates got groped by some random 40 year old woman.

Happy Campers? Those dudes are pretty awesome. I downloaded an album from them. Turns out they've sold over a million copies and they 'were all DIY'.

Cool.

[Lazybassplr56]

Yeah, I saw em twice at the same place. Not that many people in the crowd, but the place should have been packed.

[-Katie-]

Himsa and Death By Stereo, and Aiden back when nobody knew who they were

[Tyler]

Aiden :lol:

[blackflagfiend]

my first punk show was the misfits last april and i went to the ozzfest when i was in the 7th grade but that was when i liked crappy metal bands like slipknot...

[BuddyBigsby]

Misfits are crappy too.

Oh yeah, I went there.

[Tyler]

i hate the misfits.

[shane italian]

Misfits are good.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

I dig 'em

[brutiarti]

Blink 182!!!

[kingdead]

Misfits are crappy too.

Oh yeah, I went there.

Most overrated band in the history of everything.

Im pretty sure I only like dig up her bones and thats from their 'not really the misfits anymore' period.

[modern_man]

the misfits arent overated.just more popular.i wasnt saying they are the greatest band of all time.but give credit where credit is due.i'll bet most of the bands most people listen to in punk,cite the misfits as an influence.:)

[RCVA]

I find them a tad boring.

[redrumsixsix6]

Warped tour 04

[factor46]

Mine was Blindside, back when they first came to America and were hardcore and awesome. Really good show.

Mental
Righteous Jams
Lights Out
Our Turn
Mind Eraser
Lion of Judah(first show)
Iron Age(first show)

Set Your Goals

I may be forgetting one or two.

That would be like my 3rd hardcore show...

First... the one with The Distance, Outbreak, Some Kind Of Hate, Champion, and Comeback Kid in July '04. I missed Champion and Comeback Kid though.

[shane italian]

People who hate on the Misfits probably think that Bane rule.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

That would be like my 3rd hardcore show...

First... the one with The Distance, Outbreak, Some Kind Of Hate, Champion, and Comeback Kid in July '04. I missed Champion and Comeback Kid though.

That wasn't actually my first, just first "big" one like I said. I just wanted to win the thread.

[fast times]

That wasn't actually my first, just first "big" one like I said. I just wanted to win the thread.

Yeah I noticed that after I posted... the 3rd show I went to had bands: Our Turn, Lights Out, Righteous Jams, Internal Affairs, Mental, and I am sure I am forgetting somebody else, but I forgot.

[Canadian_Drummer]

i was concieved at a Doa concert, and born at a rage against the machine concert

[BillyxRansom]

Dropkick Murphys/Blood for Blood/ Ducky Boys

*jeaaaaaalous* :angry:

[blackflagfiend]

Misfits are crappy too.

Oh yeah, I went there.
they are now....:upset:

[flamey088]

misfits arent bad, but they're very popular. The one thing i hate is all their merch, like the other day i saw misfit chuck taylors and slipon vans. Why not just have band tee's?

[modern_man]

http://static.zoovy.com/img/rockmusicjewelry/W150-H150-Bf0f0f0/misfits_pewter_belt_buckle.jpg

and dont forget the nice pewter belt buckle....yeah i agree,people have gone overboard with the misfits merchandise.if the misfits broke up today it wouldnt be a big loss.but the legacy of the misfits is always gonna be of a great band.

[blackflagfiend]

eh most people dont like them because of all of their merch n crap, but its jerry only whos doing that. Back in the 80s when Glenn was in the band, you didnt see all of that crap
