I never knew you were into Metal. What kind of shoes did you attend as a kid? What was your first concert and what was your favorite concert?
I saw Queensryche with Ozzy during the Bark At The Moon tour in 1984. It was right after the Queen Of The Reich EP and The Warning LP. I really like Queensryche during their Metal days.
Queensryche opened for Metallica in Dallas, late '88 or early '89 was my first metal concert, gawddamn, what a show, saw both of them at a few Monsters of Rock and Lollapalooza's over the years, caught Godsmack and Metallica at the Toyota Center in Houston in 2004, they were as good in Houston in '04 as they were in Dallas in '89, those are probably my two favorite concerts. There was a metal club on 1960 in Houston that I started going to on weekends my junior year in high school, I caught an assload of bands there, Type O Negative came through a couple of times, Pantera tore that place the fuck up, I saw them in Dallas, too. Pearl Jam, Candlebox and Seaweed came to William R. Johnson coliseum in '93 or '94, that was a pretty lame concert because the crowd sucked, but the bands were great. I almost forgot about Piney Woodstock, doubt if you've heard of a band called Wonderful Life, they're a local band, they were the headliners, they released a couple of CD's, but broke up, that was a great concert, went for three days, I think they finally stopped doing those shows, but they were great while they lasted. I've seen AC/DC, Def Leppard, Motorhead, Dio, Anthrax, Sepultura, Slayer, Megadeth, Opeth, Dream Theater, Tool, and Ozzy, to name a few. It's been a while since my last show, but I used to breathe that shit. Damn, now I'm looking back on a well examined life, I spent a lot of time in theaters and arenas, if it wasn't a concert, it was a film, play, or pro wrestling, I need to get back into that shit.
