    1994 just turned 17, Bon Jovi at Milton Keynes Bowl. As much as I can't stand them now and haven't listened to them in 15 years it was honestly very enjoyable.
    All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    Ted Nugent with Donnie Iris around 1980... I didn't like Nugent at all, I only went because a guy I liked asked me out to the show.

    Nope... the concert sucked & so did the date. Seeing Nugent swinging on a rope across the stage, wearing only a loincloth didn't impress me either. I was into groups like Journey, Kansas & Boston back then, Rush was probably the 'heaviest' band that I liked at that time.

    Sounds like a smart decision. Hope you eventually found what you were looking for.

    Nine Inch Nails - Atlanta '95. Fantastic way to bring in my concert experience.

    My first PJ show was September 1, 1998 followed with the Beasties at the same venue the next night. Two greatest concert nights of my life.

    Sam Kinison (stand-up comedian...RIP). I went to his show with my older brother and father in 1988 at the Universal Ampitheater (Gibson)...where Pearl Jam played in 2009. Billy Idol played a song too. I saw Soundgarden there also in Dec 1996.
