Let's be honest, it'd be better if it was
*buzz* Repetition! Mr Boyce has already described several things as "fucking shit"

Anthrax were the support band at my first proper gig, fact-fans.

Fucking hell, who were the headliners?
Support at my first gig were a band called Blindside who I'd not heard of before, or since.

Damn good first gig!
I've still not seen Iron Maiden, which is something that quite irritates me.

One of my brothers, whilst mostly playing shit music very loudly, used to go through phases of playing The Eagles instead
Meant that I got to hear some great music.

I saw the Stereophonics supporting the Manics before they'd released anything, they were terrible then and never improved

You deserved all you got for going to see the Manics

I was young and confused, etc
Manics fans - the "old school" ones who bang on about how New Art Riot is the only thign of any integrity they ever released - are just the most pretentious arseholes ever. They made the Oasis fans who'd got into MSP post-Everything Must Go look human.

I think Stereophonics have done some absolutely excellent tunes, with Performance and Cocktails being a brilliant album.

Either way, seeing The Eagles would have to be rather special

Perhaps, if you are SemiDetachedFreefair and your music tastes are still informed by your dad's record collection.
But since I have been able to form my own opinions I find them rather dull.

My Dad never listened to The Eagles
It would have been a vast fucking improvement from the shit he used to listen to. To this day, I can think of only one artist both he and I like, Cat Stevens.
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 10:08, Reply)
Many people like music that they heard growing up
even if that no longer fits with their general taste, it's nostalgia to some degree. But anyway you look at iot The Eagles were a great band.

I also really like Buddy Holly due to parents, however at present I'm listening to Fear Factory...
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 10:09, Reply)
There's a band who were fucking brilliant at the peak of their powers
Demanufacture and Obsolete are superb albums
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 10:15, Reply)
I still like Buddy Holly today, nothing wrong in that.
I guess my problems with the Eagles is more to do with them representing the point in history where the middle of the road took over.
The Eagles have their place in my musical past (I once took the trouble to learn all the lead guitar parts from Hotel California), but I'm over it now.

Nothing wrong with liking Buddy Holly

Fear Factory are excellent live, Dino Canazares started a chant of 'You fat bastard' aimed at himself, and was surprised that it was taken up with more vigour than he expected.

I'm no AA, but I was only 2 whne you went to that gig
I did however go through a "Bon Jovi" period when I was younger. Kiss have always been shit though
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 9:58, Reply)
I was just turned 14 when I went to that gig
Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet and New Jersey albums were excellent. The rest were 'fucking shit'.

All of Kiss' stuff in their makeup days was excellent - that's maybe a dozen albums. My lad is 14 and he has Double Platinum on his iPod and loves it. Post makeup albums were shit though.

I really like Crazy Nights, it's one of my favourite albums.

(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 10:05, Reply)
They'd already just about jumped the shark at that point
Their older stuff was far better. Check out Double Platinum, which is a compilation of their best stuff up to around 1978. Fuck that makes me feel old.

Even try The Elder, which is crazy orchestral type stuff but is actually a fantastic listen.
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 10:15, Reply)
No it isn't, it's shit.
I have all there stuff, I just happen to think that Crazy Nights is a fantastic album, not knocking their early stuff, it's also good. Apart from Music from the Elder, obviously.

Next you'll be telling me that "Fly on the Wall" was a "really underrated" AC/DC album, or that anything megadeth produced in the mid to late 90's was "worth a revisit".

is rather good, and they found form again with United Abominations and Endgame but I've not listened to the new album yet.

Hang about
There's some decent stuff on Countdown to Extinction... that's 1992, isn't it? I liked Youthanasia at the time but have since come to realise it's bobbins. Everything after Dave Ellefson cut his hair sucked ass.

I dunno who the support were on mine
as the gig was cancelled about 10 mins before the start. Warrant were the headliners. Yeah, I had taste, man.

I think the first that actually took place was Soundgarden and Faith No More supporting Guns'n'Roses, so I think I did OK on support bands if not headliners.

The problem with We Care A Lot, as obvious as it is to say it
is that Mike Patton's not on it. It's like Maiden without Dickenson; musically sound but with a glaring issue vocally
