Your first metal concert

[Epsilon]

I thought I'd make this thread, cause last night I went to see Opeth, my first concert ever. Anyways I thought it was just completely amazing and so friggin crazy :amaze:, sure it was dangerous being right in the middle of the crowd but hey it was worth it, and mikael, what a comedian:thumb:

GO OPETH :chug:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The first gig is always the best one. Savour it.

My first was Megadeth + Dungeon last year. Two of my favourite bands in one night FTW.

[JausmetalJ]

My first was Dungeon with Anarion and Project Doomsday.

Pity its my only proper metal gig, they're all over aged.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've been lucky since Sydney seems to get the underage gigs, though I'm pissed I couldn't go to Dismember last year.

That won't be a problem anymore though :D

[Wish]

My first metal concert was Machine Head in December 2004. Before that I had only seen Whitesnake.

[JausmetalJ]

Ooh, I love Whitesnake.

Ive got JUST over a year till im legal ( :

[rippa32]

I still havnt been to one but Im seeing Wolfmother in July. Although thats more rock than metal.

[Father_Jack]

I have hardly being to many metal concerts 'cause I have no-one to go with. Stupid non-metalhead friends. I am going to see maiden though.

[Werny]

Going to see Cryptopsy, Fack...I'm Dead and Enforce sunday week. It will be my first concert and will be horrible because they'll probably play for less than an hour.

[JausmetalJ]

Where in Aust do you live?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

If you're a gigantic Cryptopsy fan and it's your first gig I'm sure you'll love it, and it isn't unusual that they're playing less that an hour. Nile only played about 45 minutes and Behemoth a little over an hour when I saw them.

[Wish]

Ooh, I love Whitesnake.

Ive got JUST over a year till im legal ( :I shook all their hands :cool:

AND the bassist gave me a bottle of water and a load of plectrums.

Right at the front ++

[JausmetalJ]

Aaw man, Even Coverdales?

I'd love to have seen them while Vai played with them.

Did they play Now you're gone?
And Fool of your loving?

Still of the night?

[Wish]

Aaw man, Even Coverdales?Oh yes. They loved us (I went with three other friends).
Did they play Now you're gone?
And Fool of your loving?

Still of the night?They played all the classics. Still Of The Night was one of the last songs I think. I don't know all the songs though, 'cause I was a Whitesnake noob.

[superpeer]

My first was In Flames with Caliban and Devildriver. Have seen many since.

[Prince of Darkness]

My first was Metallica this year.

[G_Mac07]

My first non-local metal concert was Dungeon late last year. It was a great show.

/was at the same Opeth gig as threadstarter

[Stoo]

GO OPETH :chug:
Me too mang. :chug:

I have hardly being to many metal concerts 'cause I have no-one to go with. Stupid non-metalhead friends. I am going to see maiden though.

Hey I've been to 3 gigs myself...Opeth, In Flames, Anthrax.

It's all good.

:smoke:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I have hardly being to many metal concerts 'cause I have no-one to go with. Stupid non-metalhead friends. I am going to see maiden though.
GO YOURSELF!

I went to Behemoth by myself in Janurary and it was fantastic. So many people use the same excuse as you and it's ****ing stupid.

[ArcLite]

Yeah, I went to Soilwork/Dark Tranquillity/Hypocrisy by myself and had a blast.

[JausmetalJ]

I'd rather go by myslef then not at all.

Means you don't have to shout drinks or anything.

[superpeer]

I don't think I'd ever go to a gig by myself, but then again, my girlfriend usually comes with me. So no worries there. =)

[rata]

i saw metallica in Philippines way back 97.... but the best concert that i saw was RATM, also in 97...

[repcak]

the first metal band i've seen live was Metallica 2004(or 3?) on a festival.

the first metal concert i went (not festival - this doesn't count) was last year: Black Label Society, Velvet Revolver, Black Sabbath;

two weeks after this: Nine Inch Nails (14th June 2005)

December 2005: Opeth
January 2006: Children of Bodom

[Chubalubicus]

killswitch
if you would even classify them metal?

[Slapping Penguin]

My first big metal gig was Opeth last Tuesday.

[the2stranger]

I was about twelve or so when I saw my first metal band, we have a decent local scene.
The first big metal band I saw was probably Rammstein, like 4 years ago.

[G_Mac07]

I actually kind of prefer going to gigs by myself, and bumping into people there. That way you can still chat to people etc during breaks, but not feel obliged to hang out with them whilst bands are playing.

[Stoo]

i saw metallica in Philippines way back 97.... but the best concert that i saw was RATM, also in 97...
Ugh you lucky son of a bitch.

Fav band of all time. :upset: (RATM)

[the2stranger]

I actually kind of prefer going to gigs by myself, and bumping into people there. That way you can still chat to people etc during breaks, but not feel obliged to hang out with them whilst bands are playing.
Normally some metalhead mate goes with me to gigs, if not I go alone, I always end up meeting people at gigs too, so it's cool to talk to new people.

[Kurrpt]

mine has to be Gigantour, since i wouldnt call APC metal...


not too bad, besides my girl making leave during the opening song of Megadeath, the fact that she got me lost, the fact that she bawled her eyes out over her mommy, or that we showed up late and missed Nevermore

[Stoo]

Damn girlfriends.

[SilverSpoon]

First metal concert I went to was Iced Earth supported by Children of Bodom and Evergrey in 2004. Blew me away.

[Kurrpt]

Damn girlfriends.

it was definitely a lesson learned. Ill never take her to another metal show again :lol:

[rata]

Ugh you lucky son of a bitch.

Fav band of all time. :upset: (RATM)


hehe... yeah... i do feel lucky.. but i felt it more after they broke up..:thumb:

and we gotta chance to met them at the backstage since my aunt was one of the people who organized that show ... hehe .. i still have Timmy C's pick wich he handed to my cousin and gave to me... his the more humorous of them four. while Brad doesnt seem to be the talker, he just stares and then smiles at you.. i didnt saw Tom and zack up-close though, but still happy meeting tim and brad..

[pate]

Ozzfest last year.

Since then I've been to Judas Priest/Anthrax, Opeth/Nevermore/Fireball Ministry, Opeth (Chronology), Morbid Angel/Behemoth, and will be going to G2 and Celtic Frost, and probably more this year.

[Stoo]

:eek:

Nice one dude.

[rik]

My first live metal experience was actually Ozzfest back in 02.


I don't think I'd ever go to a gig by myself, but then again, my girlfriend usually comes with me. So no worries there. =)
The only gig i've been to with my girlfriend was incubus, she's really not a metal person.

I've seen Arch Enemy and Iron Maiden by myself.

[EightMilesHigh]

I went to Alice Cooper by myself last October, it was nuts. The best show I've ever been to, hands down. Three or so hous of pure loud entertainment. Plus, I thought I was going by myself, but I met up with some people there that I knew.

Amazing show.

Might be seeing GWAR this summer, hopefully I can go. Because that would be sweet.

[Jude]

I've never been to any metal shows, but the first gig I ever went to of a band I really liked (as opposed to just local shows or going along to some crap show with friends or something) was Porcupine Tree. Friggin' ruled.

[StreetlightRock]

I still havnt been to one but Im seeing Wolfmother in July. Although thats more rock than metal.

Dude, where abouts? You're in Aus yeah? Sydney by any chance?

[Happy]

Metallica in '03. I headbanged too much that night.

[-The Frank]

I saw linkin park+mudvayne when i was 11, i remember it being good.

[lak89]

my first and only was Dream Theater when they came here in January

totally rocked

[Happy]

my first and only was Dream Theater when they came here in January

totally rocked
What an awesome first concert. :thumb:

[Mother]

My first rock/metal gig was bunch of local rock/metal bands playing a small gig... i just sat at the back for that one. But last year there was machine head and sepultura here and I just went Nuts... Even tough im not really big fans of either band.

[Invicta_Veritas]

I've been to a lot of 80's bands' shows, and a ton of local metal shows, but the ones that kicked it for me was Ozzfest 2004 and New England Hardcore/Metal fest 2005..........I also saw Gn'r and CKYa couple years ago---shame it wasn't the original gn'r though....

[Josh]

Iron Maiden, December 3rd, '03. what an awesome night... shame it was FFAF supporting them.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

But when Iron Maiden is playing who cares, right?

[Sph]

I thought I'd make this thread, cause last night I went to see Opeth, my first concert ever. Anyways I thought it was just completely amazing and so friggin crazy :amaze:, sure it was dangerous being right in the middle of the crowd but hey it was worth it, and mikael, what a comedian:thumb:

GO OPETH :chug:
That could've been my first too.

I couldn't get tickets.

:(

[Lord Abortion]

Still the best, too
Iron Maiden on the DoD tour...amazing.

[Serapheus]

Opeth Last Friday!!!!!!!

[Mazeppa]

Chimaira, back when I was 13. Good times.

[Drone]

My first was Slayer in June '04 with Damageplan. It was amazing!

Since then I have only been to one other metal concert, which was Gigantour in Montreal last year. Megadeth is my favorite band and I am so glad I got to see them live! Great experiences!

[Hollywood Rose]

Metallica 03, I think?

[gigi666]

children of bodom about a good year ago! incredible..

[Chu]

A few local concerts, maybe 3 hours for each, which is cool, we have some nice metal in Canberra at the moment.

[TheBigPK]

two weeks after this: Nine Inch Nails (14th June 2005)


Might that be the DTE show? Im goin to that too not sure exactly wat day tho.. NiN was my first real heavy concert and it was the one in Grand Rapids, MI wher e he quit playin early cause someone threw a lighter at his face :mad: ! Before that tho, sweetest concert EVER!

[Txus]

My first gig was Quiet Riot a lot of time ago, I was a little kid :p

[Atica]

My first metal concert was Avalanch, it was the last year.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

[Lionheart1827]

My first concert ever was Metallica: S&M New York.

Words cant describe it.:thumb:

[The Masked Guitarist]

[ATC]

Machine Head and Sepultura.

[Txus]

Nice man, great spanish band.

[Stormrider]

You are one lucky guy, man.

[shadow_stalker]

My first was Dragonforce supported by some **** emo band, it was is still the best gig i have been to so far

[Txus]

My first was Dragonforce supported by some **** emo band, it was is still the best gig i have been to so far
:lol: That sounds odd.

[DrumIntoTheNight]

Bullet For My Valentine and Candiria.

Bullet are complete poo live, every song is the same emo-core bollocks.

[PAJJ]

Iron Maiden, I started with the best.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

seeing maiden at leeds last year, just doing songs from the first four albums was pretty immense...

[Diabulus in musica]

my first metal concert was metallica with godsmack, it was pretty amazing, specially godsmack, they put up an awesome show

[BlindWriting]

First metal show was Fintroll/Sodom a few months ago. Opeth was the second, soon after.

[Treebeard]

First concert I ever went to was Colonel Claypools Bucket of Bernie Brains back in October of 04. After that I saw Gov't Mule in Feb of 05. Following that was Buckethead in Nov of 05.

The first "metal" band I saw was In Flames in Feb of 06 followed by

Opeth - March 06
Children of Bodom - April 06

I was thinking about going to see Necrophagist in May 06 but I don't have a ride anymore. :( After that I was planning on going to see Behold... the Arctopus and then Sleep Terror but I doubt I will make those shows either.

:( 2 teh mackz

What I really kick myself for missing is Meshuggah in Feb of 06 and Hypocrisy/Decapitated in Jan of 06.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Judas Priest and Anthrax.

[Txus]

I was thinking about going to see Necrophagist in May 06 but I don't have a ride anymore. :( After that I was planning on going to see Behold... the Arctopus and then Sleep Terror but I doubt I will make those shows either.
They are touring? :eek:

[zerosk8er1988]

My first metal show was Gigantour last year with Megadeth, Dream Theater and Symphony X. It was killer.

The next show I'm going to is Necrophagist May 14. I ****ing love Arsis, and they are support at that show.

[Treebeard]

They are touring? :eek:

Yes. www.myspace.com/beholdthearctopus

gogogo

[Werny]

Where in Aust do you live?

I'll just answer this by saying yes, I'm going to the under 18's Melbourne one. I live in Wodonga and have to catch a train at 4am to get there in time!

If you're a gigantic Cryptopsy fan and it's your first gig I'm sure you'll love it, and it isn't unusual that they're playing less that an hour. Nile only played about 45 minutes and Behemoth a little over an hour when I saw them.

That's very true but someone on here said that when they saw Cryptopsy they played 4 songs only. And I only paid $40 for the ticket so they're not obliged to play a show of normal length.

[Poofy 666]

I lost my concert virginity on May 2 last year at the Anthrax reunion tour :cool:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I missed the reunion when they came here :(

[Alex]

well my first concert was Rush on their 30th anniversary tour, but my first metal concert was Iron Maiden if you count them as metal, if not its was Dream theater, if they arent metal then CoB....

[4yearpro?]

1st was judas priest with queensryche

[slaughteredfirst]

My first was Metallica back when I was in 7th grade. Was fun but not the best ever. Then I saw metallica again last year, rocked more. Then back in January I went to my first death metal show seeing Nile live. It pwned. Then a couple weeks ago I saw Behemoth and Morbid Angel. PWNED more than Nile as I was front row.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

my first death metal concert i saw was hate eternal. they were an opening act for chimaira and arch enemy. i guess you would call arch enemy melodic death metal. so yeah two in one night

[Mr_Bounce]

I haven't been to a metal concert yet.. underage, and not enough metalhead friends to make travelling to Sydney for big shows worth it. :(

Metal shows in Canberra, Chu?

[rippa32]

Dude, where abouts? You're in Aus yeah? Sydney by any chance?

No Brisbane, shame though it would be nice to meet a fellow MXer for real.

[Shadows Rise]

I saw Opeth, Nevermore, and Fireball Ministry Last October. Opeth and Nevermore kicked ***, but Fireball Ministry was pretty lame.

[Apocalypticon]

Unfortunately I have to admit that it was Slipknot with Killswitch Engage and Unearth. I feel so ashamed of myself.

[Thor]

First "metal" concert was Linkin Park back in the middle school days. :(

[Drunken Viking]

well my first concert was Rush on their 30th anniversary tour, but my first metal concert was Iron Maiden if you count them as metal, if not its was Dream theater, if they arent metal then CoB....
How are Maiden not metal?

[Deconstruction]

First was Gigantour!!! I loved that show...Great bands.

[EightMilesHigh]

They are touring? :eek:

Oh my god. B...TA would be nuts live.

[Poofy 666]

Yes. www.myspace.com/beholdthearctopus

gogogo
Where do I buy the tickets? Ticketmaster is being mean :(

[Txus]

Oh my god. B...TA would be nuts live.
I'm seen them May 28 :cool:

[Shadows Within]

Gigantour

even though it wasnt my first concert (Earth Wind And Fire/Chicago) it was my first metal concert :p

[Dancin' Man]

Ed Gein, Curl Up And Die, Animosity. Syracuse, NY 2005

[Txus]

Ed Gein, Curl Up And Die, Animosity. Syracuse, NY 2005
:eek: OMG, You're back? nice...:)

[Shattered_Future]

First concert - Creed. :cool:

First metal concert - Gigantour. If you want to be more specific, Symphony X's set was the first one we actually watched all the way through. It was unbelievable...

[burntgorilla]

Dragonforce was my first metal concert. Good place to start, I thought.

[ACircuitShock]

3 Inches of Blood was my first metal concert. Oh yeah....

[Apocalypticon]

3 Inches of Blood was my first metal concert. Oh yeah....
Great way to start off your concert career. They were my second metal concert but the first good one.

[ACircuitShock]

Great way to start off your concert career. They were my second metal concert but the first good one.
They did indeed kick some serious ***. I've seen them twice now. After them I saw Iron Maiden and then COB with Amon Amarth and Trivium (eh...). I am desperatley waiting my first power metal concert.

[Elnimio]

Watchtower back in 1988.

[Apocalypticon]

They did indeed kick some serious ***. I've seen them twice now. After them I saw Iron Maiden and then COB with Amon Amarth and Trivium (eh...). I am desperatley waiting my first power metal concert.
I've only seen them once because the first time I was gonna see them they were playing with Motorhead, but that got changed to 19+ so I couldn't go. Other than them the only bands I've seen live are all the ones from sounds of the underground. And then I saw Opeth and Devil Driver again aswell as Dark Tranquility. Any idea what that first power metal concert may be?

[ACircuitShock]

Basically the first decent power metal band that comes out here. i live in Washington in the US which is perhaps the worst place in the world for power metal shows. I would kill to see Blind Guardian or Iced earth though. I may have to travel a bit to get to a good show.

[Apocalypticon]

Atleast you don't live in Canadia, I will basically never have any chance of seeing any of my favourite bands unless I go overseas. I can't even go to Children of Bodom unless I drive for 8 hours to Edmonton. I would kill to be able to see Moonsorrow or Kalmah or Wintersun.

[Metal God]

My first concert waz Motley Crue and OH MAN wat a HELL of a show those guys kan put on

[KaOtIc_HeLl]

My first concert was last saturday, Korn + disturbed + hatebreed + 10 years.. i really loved it, hatebreed told the crowd to make two circle pits, and they did :chug:

[W.M.A]

Metallica in 2004

[3FingeredHoek]

My first was Gigantour.

[Motor breath]

My first was shadows fall in toledo

[The Masked Guitarist]

...

You are one lucky guy, man.

:(
have you seen them with Matt?
well he is the greatest! :thumb:

[Jondur]

Watchtower back in 1988.

Good man! Must have been a great gig and plus I'd don't feel so old now!

First gig was Iron Maiden 1988 on the Seventh Son tour. Then Metallica the year after, then Clash of the Titans, then Maiden at Donington 1992.

[Bfhurricane]

Weird Al Yankovich..... seriously....

but my first METAL concert was Ozzfest, my first individual band concert was Black Label Society 2 months later

[Dark_Hero]

Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory and Darkane.

SYL still remains the best live band I've seen.

[Prince of Darkness]

Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory and Darkane.

SYL still remains the best live band I've seen.


If I could see Zen or Skeksis live...

But Devin's clean vocals aren't as good live as on the albums.

[Stormrider]

have you seen them with Matt?
well he is the greatest! :thumb:

Havn't seen them at all yet :(

If only a DVD had been released when he was still in the band...

/imagines

[Soul_Under_Arrest]

My dad had the bright idea to take me to a Motorhead concert when I was 7.

[Brew]

My first metal concert (well..festival) was Ozzfest '02 at Donington (Ozzy, System of a Down, Slayer, Mushroomhead, Cradle of Filth), before that I went to Reading on the Sunday in 2000, but the line-up that day wasn't all metal bands - Stereophonics (they were good back then), Placebo, Slipknot, Rage Against the Machine, Blink 182 (oh yeh :cool: )

[SimonCore]

Avenged Sevenfold/Mendeed was my first gig. My God that one seriously owned.

[Lord Abortion]

Good man! Must have been a great gig and plus I'd don't feel so old now!

First gig was Iron Maiden 1988 on the Seventh Son tour. Then Metallica the year after, then Clash of the Titans, then Maiden at Donington 1992.
Those Maiden shows must have been Immense.

I'd never get tired of seeing Maiden live.
Seen them twice and I'm eagerly awaiting my third in December.

[Sadbutrue16]

my first metal concert was metallica with godsmack, it was pretty amazing, specially godsmack, they put up an awesome show

That was my first concert too... im guessing yousaw that in San Jose becuase that was the only time Godsmack opened for them...Nov 28 04?

Anyways was a good concert...i passed out RIGHT before Metallica came out and they took me to medical wing..i missed Blackened ;(

Even gayer is that i didnt drink or do any drugs..i jsut randomly just blacked out..probably from standing up without eating/drinking to long.

[Stoo]

Lol that sucks.

[Stormrider]

No Godsmack opened for them here in Montreal too...

[blue3]

Calgary too, but I didn't go..

[Synthetical]

I don't know if you'd consider System of a Down metal, but they are alot heavier live. I don't much like there music, but there the only relitively good band to come through the part of Alberta I live in and they were my first concert last September. I'm seeing them again in June 26th. Like I said, not a great band, but they do put on a good show.

[Stormrider]

I like System of a Down. They're the first and only aband I've seen live. T'was awsome :)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

First metal experience was Download 2003, waiting in the pit for the Deftones. I knew nothing of the band known as Ministry before then, and when they came on, well, that was my metal concert induction there. Before that I was a wuss with pits, after that, I knew I was on to a good thing avoiding big pits

(wont stop me when I see SYL though from repeating history)

[Iron Bars]

First metal concert. Fear Factory at Lowlands 2001. Halfway through the show the mic fell out and Burton just kept on bellowing over the crowd.

[Synthetical]

I like System of a Down. They're the first and only aband I've seen live. T'was awsome :)

Yeah, they were pretty awesome live, especially since I was pretty close up. I just can't get into there music when I'm listening to it on my computer or whatnot.

P.S. Bounce live is ****ing amazing.

[blue3]

I know someone seeing SOAD in Calgary too.

[Scuba_Steve]

First gig ever, buddy guy.


I'm hoping to get my *** out to see Slayer's Unholy alliance tour in july, that'll be my first metal concert.

[MeTaLfAcE]

My first metal show would have to be Meshuggah and Tool in 2001. I was front row center for that and it blew me away. I've been to many more concerts since then, and that is something to say considering I live in Montana and no concerts ever come here.

[Apocalypticon]

No Godsmack opened for them here in Montreal too...
And Saskatoon.

Anyway I'm really excited about will be my next metalk show because I just found out today that Unholy Alliance minus Slayer and Thine Eyes Bleed will be stopping by my town. I don't care for Lamb of God and Mastodon but I never thought I would see the day Children of Bodom came to here. I can't wait.

[Det_Nosnip]

I believe that my first metal show was Megadeth, back on the Cryptic Writings tour. I think that the Misfits and Corrosion of Conformity were there, too...great show!

[Element of LED 435]

first concert, first metal concert, only concert at this moment= Dream Theater

[Scuba_Steve]

And Saskatoon.

where do you live?

[ToWhatEnd]

Avenged Sevenfold is the one and only for me if you can count that.

[blue3]

First gig ever, buddy guy.

[Apocalypticon]

where do you live?
Saskatoon, why?

[Britton]

Metallica.



Pretty much the best show on earth

[ghettoeddo]

i will kindly and politely disagree.

i havent been to many metal concerts...
i saw gigantour (only dream theater and megadeth though), dream theater on their latest tour for 3 fuggin amazing hours... and im going to see slayer/childrenn of bodom this summmer. and possibly ozzfest.

i did think the los lonely boys put on an amazing show though. good bluesy stuff

[Bass_ment]

Machine Head in November 2004. It made me more of a fan of them than ever.

[Iron Bars]

Metallica.



Pretty much the best show on earth

Sorry to disapoint you but this means you haven't seen enough live shows. Not to say Metallica isn't good, I've seen e'm twice and they rock but there are alot of bands out there that are alot better. If you have a chance (and like the band) you should try and see Opeth or some of the smaller bands (they usually have good shows because they still have something to prove) like Mastodon.

[The Masked Guitarist]

i saw rammstein once to they are not metal but still .... their fire shows are amazing!

[Curtis89]

I went to my first concert ever last night.. Draonforce. It was amazing. I have to start going to more gigs.

[Sadbutrue16]

i saw rammstein once to they are not metal but still .... their fire shows are amazing!

Personally I think Rammstein is metal...can't think of what ese to place them as....not really hard rock...

[Hellion462606]

First one ever kickudid so much ***. Small venue, big bands, huge crowd. Otep, God Forbid, Throwdown, and Hatebreed.

[gotchops?]

Anthrax - glasgow garage 2003

[misunderstood]

My first show was Tool/Meshuggah back in november '02. Awesome concert. Meshuggah was insane though. I was right up at the rail but had to be pulled out eventually cause i was having a difficult time breathing. Great experience nonetheless.

[Shadius]

Personally I think Rammstein is metal...can't think of what ese to place them as....not really hard rock...

Arn't they blatently German industrial/nu-metal? From the couple of songs i've heard.

[Scuba_Steve]

Saskatoon, why?


I was just gunna ask if slayer is ditching all the canadian tour dates?

[Stoo]

Anthrax - glasgow garage 2003
Saw them at the Academy on 7th April. :cool:

[superflyjojo]

My first concert ever was Kiss in 1996
If you count Godsmack as metal then them in 2001
If you don't then I guess Ozzfest 2003.

I was just gunna ask if slayer is ditching all the canadian tour dates?
They aren't ditching all the Canadian dates. Just a few. All the ones on their website they're playing (obviously). I just know that there are a few shows with just LoG, CoB and Mastodon where LoG is headlining.

[Shadows Within]

Basically the first decent power metal band that comes out here. i live in Washington in the US which is perhaps the worst place in the world for power metal shows. I would kill to see Blind Guardian or Iced earth though. I may have to travel a bit to get to a good show.I always thought COB and 3IOB where power metal.

oh, alright.

I'm slightly confused as to what bands are playing at mine, thanks to slayer's "I need 6 bands on tour with us attitude".

There won't be time for all 6, so is there anyway to figure out which ones are playing?

[Stormrider]

Same here...same here. Can't wait for them to come here.

[Shadows Within]

i still cant believe i forgot the Iced earth, COB tour :upset: even though i liked matt better tim isint bad.

[Stormrider]

What year was this in again ?

I knew about IE touring with COB...but I don't remember what year.

month or 2 ago

[Stormrider]

Nah man, thats impossible that they had that tour a month or 2 ago. They've been writing new material and a tour would have been anounced.

[Shadows Within]

nope it said on the cob site iced earth and cob manchester, Mass 2 months ago.

[Bfhurricane]

Though irrelevent to the current conversation of COB and IE tour... i saw Bodom with Chimaira (great act) and Through the Eyes of the Dead (mediocre), and Children of Bodom put on one of the greatest couple hours of live music i have ever seen (besides Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath back to back at ozzfest)

[Stormrider]

nope it said on the cob site iced earth and cob manchester, Mass 2 months ago.

:confused:

[Shadows Within]

its not on there anymore, im looking to see if i can find it but nothing yet.

[Stormrider]

Yeah, I can't find it. I don't want to sound hard headed, but it was a few years ago...not 2 months.

[Shadows Within]

i know about the tour 2 years ago but i rember (and my friend) seeing it on the COBHC site then one day my friend said we missed them.

ill ask my friend in the morning.

[Stormrider]

Hmm OK then. I had read interviews with Shaffer saying they son't be touring until new material is finished. We would have heard about it and stuff.

But anyways, yeah ask your friend...I'm really curious about this :p

[Shadows Within]
