    What band, where and when was it?

    Mine actually is quite embarrasing, I was 11 and my cousin brought me to see Bon Jovi in the Point in 1995. I can't really remember much of it but I knew that the pyro-technics annoyed the hell outta me that night. Can't remember who was supporting them either so if ya know then please tell me.

    Can't actually remember for certain which was first but it was either Queen at Slane or Metallica at the SFX in 1986.
    Was a long time ago.

    Urban dance squad...-urgh-

    I don't remember but I have been to the RATM feile, and some early Slanes 92 ish.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,148 ✭✭✭✭Lemming


    First gig I was meant to go to was Slane '92 to see Faith No More and Gn'R. But then I had a bloody music theory exam scheduled the same day and mummy-dearest insisted I go to that, so had to turn down the ticket I'd been offered.

    First gig I ACTUALLY went to was SunStroke '95. The line-up consisted of Sponge, Mudhoney, Pennywise, White Zombie, and Soundgarden. I went to see White Zombie, followed by Soundgarden.

    Zombie stole the show. Soundgarden were a major disappointment that day

    yep, I heard that. I was meant to go to that but I went to see the pumpkins in the sfx that night (one of the best gigs I've ever been to)

    cheers dregin, I have it on tape already, but the quality is poor enuff, unless of course you have a sounddesk recording??

    The Bee-Gees when they last played in Ireland in the RDS, i was about 11 or so and was brought by my parents. The first concert that i actually bought tickets for myself was the Muse/Ash concert in Cork a couple of years ago.

    My first was U2 with Ash for support in Belfast 98, and it was rather good ...


  • Registered Users Posts: 646 ✭✭✭John2002


    Pumpkins at the SFX in 95 (I think), with ASH. Great night!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Slane, with Nickleback, I'm afraid. Sounded like fun when my girlfriend dragged me up. Strangely enough I enjoyed myself, whatever you say about Nickleback they do a decent show. Hoping to scrape enough cash together to see AC/DC in Milton Keynes in June. Probably won't make it.:(

    My first proper concert was Ozzfest, which turned out to be a bit of a baptismal of fire, as I got punched in the head quite a bit, especially during slayer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,136 ✭✭✭Pugsley


    Meatloaf, when I was about 8 :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,655 ✭✭✭Ph3n0m


    God it was one of two gigs - which ever one was the earliest


    Megadeth - Point (think it was '90)
    Masscare, Immolation and Devestation - McGonagles ( cant remember when this was)

    God I would have loved to have seen 'deth in their prime! I'd say that was a fairly rough gig! I saw them in the SFX in 2001 though. That was quite good but the sound was shit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,655 ✭✭✭Ph3n0m


    yeah well for some reason they had the Almighty supporting them - go figure


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    Féile '91 -> Thurles
    Can't remember who played, I was only 11.

    I was a bit of a late comer (leave it.... :rolleyes: ) on the concert scene. I was 20 when I went to my first one, the second U2 gig at Slane on September 1st 2001 :)

    Have to say it was one of the best days I've had.

    Decent weather, huge crowds, Ireland beating Holland (to get to the play-offs for the World Cup finals) on the giant screens, Ardal O'Hanlon singing "My Lovely Horse" on stage with Moby: "Wait, wait, I can get this bit!" Ash were good :eek: U2 were fuppin' amazing!

    Some excellent memories, my first and only concert. But this Summer I have my tickets got for:

    - Deep Purple / Lynyrd Skynyrd
    - Metallica and Linkin Park
    - Slane

    Hopefully they will turn out as good as the U2 concert.

    Jaysus, I didn't hear they were playing Enland? Any word on them coming to Ireland...ever?


  • Registered Users Posts: 464 ✭✭pugwall


    Blur, Supergrass & Black Grape at the RDS after my Juniorcert in June 1996. Great gig!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,148 ✭✭✭✭Lemming


    is it confirmed that Lynrd Skynyrd are playing with Deep Purple in Ireland this year?

    On another note - the Misfits are playing Dublin in May (17th I think?)

    Yeah it is confirmed as far as I know. My Dad says he has tickets for it anyway.

    Wouldn't mind going to see the Misfits, but I can't really stand most punk fans. They really get on my nerves for some reason.

    The manics in the point.On the "This is my truth tell me yours" tour, whenever that was.

    The best one was either Green Day on the "Warining" tour, or Nickelback on the "Siver Side Up" tour.
    They were both the last dates so they both went mental. Class.
