    McGonagles and the Top hat!
    5 hours on the bus Cork to Dublin.
    My first gig in the Top Hat was Suicidal Tendencies/M.O.D.
    Can't remember who I saw first in McGonagles but here's some that I did just to name a few.
    Death
    Carcass
    Acid Reign
    Xentrix
    Gang Green
    D.R.I.
    Sacred Reich

    Fcuk! That's going right back. I'm sure I was at one or 2 of those. Maybe D.R.I.

    But thats a savage collection of gigs right there. Serious scene back then when you think about it.

    The Suicidal/M.O.D. Gig was 1988 or 89.
    I also saw Kreator and Sepultura in the Top Hat.

    Anime? Innocent? LOL :D There's some seriously dark anime out there! ;)

    I kinda love/hate Babymetal, some of the poppy vocals don't do it for me at all, but underneath it all, they're absolutely savage musicians:

    oh i know, theres lots of ****ed up anime....but i think thats the point isnt it? to take these cute innocent sounding characters and turn them into something ****ed up.... the way they sigh, their big eyes, their high pitched voices, their perfect looks (as far as cartoon looks go), then they go ahead and rape something while stabbing something else just to purposely **** with the image....anime is just weird. i cant handle too much of it haha

    Evanescence.
    I actually know a guy who was in high school with Amy Lee. Apparently, she was a bit of a douchewaffle back then... :confused: Still, I love her pipes.
    "The Open Door" is one of my favorite albums. All the tracks are great but I have a particular soft spot for "Lithium".
    She also did a truly excellent cover of KoRn's "Thoughtless"! :D

    Same as that. Love "Lithium". "Bring Me To Life" is my fav Evanescence album though.

    @Links234: I'll see your "Versailles" and raise you a Floor Jansen special...

    Aside from not being able to get in to DRI with a forged ticket I was at all of the above and a good few others. Megadeth in 1988 was probably the best of the lot. Metallica were as up there own hole 26 years ago in Dun Laoghaire as they are now. Still can't get my head around how popular they became to the point of being a household name.

    They're pretty damn amazing live ;)

    Saw 'em with Tarja Turunen, and then with Anette Olzen when they played in Vicar Street a few years back. Did you catch them then?

    And glad you like Versailles! :D

    Nope. Hadn't heard of them then! I'm assuming that Tarja was brilliant live?
