Next:

EyeHateGod
Deftones
White Zombie
Pantera

at the Coliseum. This was the first one I attended without a parent. Had a sweet uniform shirt and chain wallet...I went as "Rod" from Interstate Batteries.

Got in during the middle of EyeHateGod. They sucked.

Deftones: Loved them at that age. Bought their CD immediately after the show.

During the intermission between Deftones and White Zombie, I had a discussion about how shitty the music they were playing between sets was. (I was such a little shithead). She was messed up out of her mind and informed me that the music was from the greatest drummer of all time, Mickey Hart. Who gives a eff. I also worked my way up to the very front against the railing. Also chatted up a security guy who was wearing his Oklahoma high school football state championship ring. I was impressed.

White Zombie: They were cool. Felt the heat from their fireworks and crap. It was during White Zombie that the crowd started to get a little crazy. I had to leave the railing. The Mickey Hart girl looked like she was about to pass out. Back amongst the masses, I began encountering the mosh pits, filled with 300 pound skinheads that looked like they want to kill everyone. I also crowd surfed at this time, which was rough ridin' awesome, and something I will never do again.

At the end of White Zombie, they released a bunch of confetti. Rumors were floating that they contained hits of acid. I did not lick any confetti.

Pantera: I hadn't really heard any of their music, because it didn't get played on their radio. Really, this is who the skinheads and crazy fuckers came to see. The kind of guys who thought they sold out with "Great Southern Trendkill" <-seriously, they thought they sold out with this. I just remember a blur of loudness and elbows and crap, with Anselmo, who seemed ridiculously wasted, only paused to drink Jack Daniels from the bottle and tell fans to start beating the crap out of each other and stop waiting for him to "light his dick on fire" (I think this was a shot at White Zombie).

Good times.

There too.

Do I know you IRL??

Panera was great by the way.

Dad got us vip meet and greet tix for the KC show

Headinjun · « **Reply #103 on:** January 30, 2014, 09:42:18 PM »

Sounds great.

When I was a kid I wanted to grow up and be Motley Crüe. My sibs and I would watch MTV behind our parents back and when their vids would come on I would grab the broomstick, air guitar it up, and jump off the couch.

Now they're great workout music. I enjoy the finer deeper tastes too, but there is nothing wrong with the buzzing rhythms of Motley Crüe.

The Snoop Dogg concert was so great. Nate Dog was not able to make an appearance but guess who did? Snoop's nephew Warren G. Oh MY GOD! We (everyone in the building) totally flipped our shiznit.

Okay maybe Pantera was just okay,'but now I'm stoked because they have like a carbless breakfast bowl.

Was he like 2 hours late?

Something like that. It's pretty common for him. No matter, the show was great. And a bit "foggy". I didn't see anyone having a bad time.

Armored Saint, Metallica and WASP at the Cotillion in Jan or Feb 1985. All had great sets but Metallica tore the roof of that bitch ... only to turn into twats 5 years later.

Metal Church, Anthrax, MegaDeth and many more at the round mount of sound over the years. Hammered and banging my head at all of them.

Oh yeah ... saw Dead Orchestra in a pasture out by that shithole Haven one night.

Saw a flyer for some random metal gig that supposedly included a live sex show about 1990. Me and some bros loaded up and drove to a building downtown where it was supposed to be at only to find out that the Jesus police had got it shut down rough ridin' sanctimonious assholes.

Saw Madonna in Chicago once and she walked out into a stage in the crowd about 30 ft from our seats and the very stereotypical gay man next to started freaking out and yelled to his companion "omg, she's so close I can smell her $!#*! "

Gooch, how long did they play for tonight, 2 hours?

Lee, meanwhile, was on an elevated platform, backlit so the audience could fully appreciate the frenetic energy he still possesses. The crew did not, however, set up Lee’s drum coaster, which at some stops on the tour delivers him on a wild ride through the arena with his drum set. Though Intrust Bank Arena’s ceiling is capable of handling the rig, the crew decided not to use it on the stop, arena officials said.
