Joe G Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 You guys are making me feel young: Ozzy Osbourne w/ Metallica, 1986, Joe Louis Arena. Metallica were supporting Master Of Puppets, their last good album. Where's the headbanging smiley? Quote
rachel Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Blue Oyster Cult with Rush as opening act. This was on Rush's A Farewell to Kings tour, I think 1977. (I went to see Rush.) ....but Blue Oyster Cult has *cowbells*!! Quote

chris olivarez Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Aw Rachel your brother should have cut you a break but maybe he felt he would be remiss on his brotherly duties if he did give you some slack. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Then Genesis circa Foxtrot in Spring, 1973 back in Oxford. Bev, you rule! Man, I would LOVE to have seen that. Unfortunately, I was -4 years old (negative four) at the time, so... Rachel, you are a true rocker babe. You've seen so many of the bands that Joe and I make fun off riding home after the gig and listening to the classic rock stations. How big was your hair? I can't remember my first concert. I think it was Genesis on the We Can't Dance tour. Completely lame compared to Bev's Genesis experience I'm sure, although they did rock out as a trio on a couple of tunes and even played Squonk. It ruled. That was, what... 1991? 1992? I don't remember. My parents we super protective. I was 14 or 15 at the time. I saw Peter Gabriel not long after that on the Us tour, which permanently damamged my hearing (tinnitus). Lovely, that. First jazz concert, I can't remember really either. Probably Roy Haynes with Joe G. No, Joe wasn't playing with Roy, he and I went to the concert together. Quote
rachel Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Trust me.... little sisters get no slack. Although later in life he bought me my first tube amp, so I guess it all evens out in the end. Quote
Joe G Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Trust me.... little sisters get no slack. Although later in life he bought me my first tube amp, so I guess it all evens out in the end. Yep. My little sister got no slack, and lots of torment, but then much later I gave her one of my guitars. Quote
rachel Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Rachel, you are a true rocker babe. You've seen so many of the bands that Joe and I make fun off riding home after the gig and listening to the classic rock stations. How big was your hair? I was in diapers!! No, actually I only had moderately big hair. And I started my concert-attending career at an early age.  I saw Peter Gabriel not long after that on the Us tour, which permanently damamged my hearing (tinnitus). Lovely, that. Yup, I have that too. Mine was post Black Sabbath (with Ronnie James Dio)/Judas Priest concert . Quote
Joe G Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 First jazz concert, I can't remember really either. Probably Roy Haynes with Joe G. But wait dude, weren't we both at that Poncho Sanchez show, before we actually met? My first jazz show, Scofield w/Lovano. Al Dimeola doesn't count. Quote
chris olivarez Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Yeah it does does even out . Rachel I'm with b3-er on one issue after seeing some of the bands you've checked out in the past-how big was your hair? Quote

Joe G Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Mine was post Black Sabbath (with Ronnie James Dio)/Judas Priest concert . Jesus! You do rock!!! Heaven and Hell, baby! Quote

Of course I really had no choice; my other brother played the tuba. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 But wait dude, weren't we both at that Poncho Sanchez show, before we actually met? That is true. Seems like I saw someone before that, too. Who knows? Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Did you like Ratt, like my older sister? Quote
rachel Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) Did you like Ratt, like my older sister? Not really; they had that one song that was all over the radio that was OK. I wasn't into the 80's hair bands; they just seemed to pale when compared to the earlier stuff. Even though I loved a lot of the heavier stuff of the seventies I got my start in more progressive rock, ie Yes, ELP, early Genesis. I never was a big fan of Poison/Motley Crue/Ratt/insert the name of any other big hair band wearing eyeliner and spandex. Although, Guns and Roses..... Edited April 1, 2004 by rachel Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 My older sis was the one that got me into Genesis. I was a total Genesis freak all the way through fourth and fifth grade, middle school and most of high school... until I started to get into jazz. Tony Banks was my hero. I never liked any of those hair-bands either. When all that shit was going down I was listening to Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, and the like. People in school thought I was very weird. And I probably was! Quote
Noj Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 You guys are my oldest brother Tom's generation. He loves all the metal to this day. Everything from RATT to Dio to Queensryche to Ozzy to Iron Maiden to Judas Priest, and all the way to even cornier hair bands like Poison and Whitesnake, clear through Tesla, Van Halen... Really, this is my original music exposure. I used to play their records and tapes all the time when I was a kid. I remember Tom got his '66 Mustang broken into and a few hundred tapes stolen along with his car stereo--while he was parked at one of those huge venues, like Monsters Of Rock or something. Man was he pissed. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Oh, by the way.... I also saw Nazareth in concert Good God, woman. I would not admit to that in public, if I were you. Quote
Noj Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Sorry Rachel, I broke a cardinal rule of interacting with a woman. Did I mention I have gray hair coming in and I'm 28? Quote
rachel Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 Oh, by the way.... I also saw Nazareth in concert Good God, woman. I would not admit to that in public, if I were you. It was peer pressure... Let that be a lesson to all the kids out there. Quote
