When was your first concert?

"Stone Temple Pilots in the SFX a few months later which was to be the scene of many a good night for years to come. I have a feeling I saw them at their best that night was only 14 though, never liked anything else they did outside of core and purple."

I was at this gig. They were supported by Three Colors Red, i think. This night was also notable as my mate and I wrangled our way into nearby pub Creavens for a late drink just before they closed. Only for the shutters to come down behind us and an all night lock in ensued.

I went to my 1st Motley Crue concert with my older sister when I was 14 back in 1990.

Was in Slane 84, Bob Dylan. Wasn't blown over by the performance but it wasn't the worst gig ever.

Diceicle · 03-09-2019 4:16pm

December 1993 - SFX, Dublin - Therapy?, KERBDOG, Pet Lamb.

ArrBee · 03-09-2019 4:33pm

Shihad with support from Head Like A Hole. In another time in another place.

1st stage dive too!

GaGa21 · 03-09-2019 5:08pm

Bryan Adams. Brought my sister for her 18th birthday. She's turning 40 in a few weeks. Was a good first gig in fairness. Haven't seen him live since though.

barney shamrock · 03-09-2019 5:20pm

Saw Metallica with Cliff on bass in the SFX in September '86.

Padraig Mor · 04-09-2019 9:34am

Cork metal band Mortuary in Nancy Spains in 1991. First 'big' band was I think Paradise Lost touring Gothic in 91/92. Around the same time I opted not to see Obituary touring Cause of Death in the same venue - not my best decision....

King's X have always been my favourite band. Seen them live 8 times and purchased tickets for their shows in Manchester and Wolverhamption later this month, only for the tour to be cancelled. Gutted.

Garbage in The Point 1999 or Joe Satriani in Vicar St 1999 cant remember which came first.

Auld Joe was incredible. Shirley was pretty good too.

Marty Xavier · 07-10-2019 11:50am

Bon Jovi with Dan Reed Network supporting, Point Depot , 1990

Motley Crue · 15-10-2019 8:44am

Suicidal Tendencies and M.O.D. in The Top Hat,
Dun Laoghaire 1989.
Was 17 at the time.

I miss the nights in the Top Hat and McGonagles!

Some old tickets of mine I found when tidying up one day.

Aah McGon's - memories of my first black eye from some pit fun!

dasdog · 19-11-2019 9:40pm

Found some of mine from around the same era - a few tickets signed and some defaced by my mate Hego. Oddly I was going to less Thrash and lighter stuff around the age of 16. I'll make no excuses for Extreme or Skid Row other than I am sure I went to see Love/Hate who were supporting one of them.

LoughNeagh2017 · 30-11-2019 2:51am

I saw Paradise Lost on their 25th anniversary tour, what a yawn fest that was, I went to see Lacuna Coil.

I think I was at 11 if not 12 of those.
First was Anthrax in 89 (The Spitting one).

Alright Gar??

"You're a Star" tour 2004. Think it was the year Chris Doran won it and Kevil Kilbane's cousin was runner up. Pure, unadulterated cringe.
