            That is pretty darn cool.

            I don't go to many concerts; but when I do, it's to see my favorite Japanese indie rock bands.  About two years ago I saw my favorite group, Bloodthirsty Butchers, at a small club in Morioka, I was right up by the stage and sung along with a bunch of songs; the band sounded awesome.  Sadly, their singer Hideki Yoshimura passed away this May, but I'm glad I got to see them give a kickass concert at least once.

            Another great concert was Ling Tosite Sigure (my favorite current band) a unique post-hardcore/progressive rock sort of group that I saw for free since my friend had an extra ticket.  A year ago I saw Zazen Boys, another long-time favorite, and they put on a fantastic show; afterward, I was invited to dinner by a Japanese couple I chatted with after the show.  Haven't been to any concerts since moving to Nagano, though.

              Xtc, that is the greatest story I have ever heard, no exaggeration. I fucking loved GnR.

                    Awesome story! I was a huge fan of G'n'r, they were the first band I fell in love with. Late to the party though, it was 1992 and I was 8. But I had my mum print me the bloody Logo of theirs on a t-Shirt (didn't know where to get merch then). She's a great mum, hehe.

                          The picture has gotten f'd up over the years, unfortunately. Wish I still had the negatives.

                            Wonderful story there xtc, thanks for sharing that with us. 🙂 I've seen GnR many times at small clubs
                            here in LA, a friend of mine was managing them so I always went. My friend Steve Darrow was playing drums
                            for them as well before Steve Adler joined, it was pretty cool. They would open for a band then come out
                            and chat with us, it was usually during the week so the audience was small. Good times.
                            As for Tracii I think his past is catching up with him a bit, that and he's had some legal issues to deal with
                            so the stress of that doesn't help. I see Phil Lewis all the time, we shop at the same market and eat at the
                            same fast food places. Very nice guy.
                            I have so many stories I could write a book here, anyone else out there have a great story to tell?…

                              Blackheart, please tell me everything about seeing AC/DC with Bon. He is one of my rock heroes. I am intensely jealous of all the amazing 70s and 80s bands you saw/hung out with.

                                Has anyone been to legendary shows, not just legendary to you?  Mine are:
                                Woodstock 99
                                Phish 99/00 Millenium Celebration in The Everglades

                                And yes, I've read Blackheart's list.  All of her early shows are legendary…..

                                  I was at both of those as well. They were good and I had more fun at the Phish show than I was expecting, but I'm not sure they hold legendary status for me from a musical perspective, but certainly from a 'what the f is going on around me'… And obviously they're legendary (at least Woodstock) because of all of the hoopla that went down.

                                      In the late 70s there use to be a yearly show at the superdome called " a day of rocknroll" on one ticket we saw Johnny winters, Rick derringer,blue oyster cult, nazareth, heart,Ronnie montrose,the eagles but memorable is used very loosely here 😢 we were sooooo baked by the second act. I saw the first lozzapalosa(spelling?) in Dallas in the early 90s with Janes addiction, Rollins, butthole surfers, body count, sioxie and the banshees, I had just sobered up from years of alcohol and drug abuse so I remember the whole gig!

                                        I would of given my left ball to see the damned, Johnny thunders and the heartbreakers in 77 blackheart was that in LA or London? Walter Lure was in New Orleans a couple of months ago doing a memorial gig for Thunders, who died of a methadone overdose a couple of blocks away from the club. RIP L.A.M.F.

                                          I saw the Damned in 1977 at the Starwood in LA, Dave had the whole vampire thing going on and Rat tried
                                          to hit on all the girls after the gig! Saw them again in 1979, one of my fave bands.

                                          Saw Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers in August of 1978 at the Whisky in LA, they played Friday and
                                          Saturday night, two shows a night, I saw all four. Joan Jett and Steve Jones were there for all the gigs too,
                                          we stood together. It was about 80 degrees at night that weekend and I remember Walter Lure coming outside
                                          between the sets and talking to us because it was so hot in the club.
                                          Johnny was so strung out he could hardly stand up, didn't matter though, the gigs were classic.
