    Faith No More, Metallica, and Guns and Roses. Back in 92, I was 13, i think. FNM and Metallica were the shit. GnR (well, Axl) sucked. Also the Metrodome is no place for a concert... too echoey (is that a word?)


    saw the same show in pitts. It was cool because as soon as metallica came on stage, it started raining. It was so appropriate.

    From "big names"...James Brown in Maribor (where I'm from)..I can't remember the year...I guess around 1995...
    From local groups..it was earlier but I wouldn't really know...
    The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    I can't believe it anymore but my first concert was Puff Daddy in Detroit. My second was Jay-Z and DMX, I was pretty scared at that one, I was way out of my element.
