[V8VAN]

Some good bands listed fellas.

No doubt left some out, but off the top of my head, I've seen:

Slayer
Bullet For My Valentine
Bring Me The Horizon
Amity Affliction
Metallica
Linkin Park
A Perfect Circle
Tomahawk
Kyuss
Anthrax
Superheist
Cog
The Butterfly Effect

Various unknown pub/mates bands etc.

First album I remember owning was Midnight Oil-Diesel and Dust. Would have been about 8 or so, think my old man who was a mechanic/wrecker found the tape in a car and gave it to me. Still got it somewhere.

First album I can remember asking for when I was 10 or so was AC/DC-The Razor's Edge. Got it for xmas that year. Still got that tape as well.

Big Rob my guess at the Chilli Peppers house owner would be Flea as he is Australian.
My first album was The Steve Miller Band, The Joker. Good old tape.
When Triple J came to regional Australia it was unreal. I loved it through the mid 90's. Can't stand it now though. Listened to triple m in the 80's when I was at school though.
Human Nature..... That's my only "famous" connection sadly. Went to school with them.

Amazing the different tastes in music here.
As I'm not a big fan of crowds I don't do many concerts.
I have seen Kiss,Bruce Springteen (thrice) I got to shake his hand!,Pink,Mental as Anything,Chain,Spectrum,The living End,AC/DC(All from Bon's Death.)
Cold Chisel in London when I was there in 1983, Madder Lake,Chivalry and Shannon Noll.
My first album? That's hard, my first Record was The pretenders, Brass in Pocket.
I think my first album was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. On a cassette that a mate recorded for me.

[Duc1991]

This is a great thread. Plenty of nostalgia. I collect vinyl and have heaps of these bands. My first real concert was Railroad Gin with Carol Lloyd, followed by Slade at Lang Park in Brisbane. Status Quo and Lindisfarne were the support bands- about 1973.

The Beatles 1964. Festival hall

You win. I was only just born, but love the Beatles though. I have seen The Angels, Mi Sex, John English, Russell Morris, Shannon Noll, Moving Pictures, The Radiators, wiggles, cockroaches, Aussie Crawl, Suzie Q, Mentals, most at the Parkes Leagues club. Should have gone to INX but ended up staying at Bathurst and didn't make it, big regret However met Rodney so all good in retrospect. Miss all the pub bands Ll to big and go to the big venues in Sydney.
