RANT- Concert Experiences, Part 3!

[@darlatidwell6255]

We're not worthy! Lol. The 🎸 smack photography, Dave Mustain on the couch...great stories. Ready for Part 4 for sure. TY Pete! 🤟✌️

[@MrBielok]

Yes! This series is just great Pete. Although some jealousy cannot be avoided with all those great concerts you enjoyed. One lucky man you are! Thanks for sharing

Loudest gig I’ve ever seen was Motörhead at the Astoria in London in 2000. At the end of the show Lemmy asked us if we wanted it louder, to which we foolishly replied in the affirmative. ‘Ace of Spades’ started and it was punishing. At the end of the song I found that I was standing about five feet further back and I hadn’t consciously moved an inch. I was shouting at people for a week afterwards. Your mentioning your Guinness nightmare reminded me of something. In 1985 I was going to see a gig at the Marquee club in London and popped into The Ship pub for a drink before it started. I was 16-years-old and underage, but no one gave a fuck about things like that back then. So as I enter I spot two very familiar faces near the door, namely Mr Lemmy Kilmister and Mr Phil Lynott. Being a cocky little sod I went up to them and said “I’ve bought all your records and I’m skint. Will one of you buy me a Guinness?” Lemmy looked at me and ordered me a pint. He handed it to me with the immortal words, “There’s yer pint, now FUCK OFF!” He said it with a grin on his face and Phil Lynott was pissing himself laughing. For the rest of the evening I kept repeating “Lemmy told me to fuck off! Lemmy told me to fuck off!” like a mantra. I was so proud...

[@robertsmithers9059]

Great stuff, I'm binge-watching all 4 parts.

[@stephenroberts8964]

Love these stories Pete, thanks for sharing.

[@timbrennan8925]

Great show Pete! Gonna watch episode 4 now! Love the Guinness episode. Many years ago I had a 6 year period without alcohol and then on my first day back to drink I had 11 pints of Guinnes. Felt ok the next day which was a wake up call in itself!

[@mahogany174]

Good work Pete. I started going through my ticket stubs after watching this. I found lots of them from Kiss in 1992 to Alice in Chains yesterday in Birmingham ( The home of HM!). My first concert was back in June 1978 when I saw UFO on their Obsession tour in Bristol. I was 15 years old. Seen loads since then and I admire your memory. I can only remember snippets. Also the diversity of stuff you’ve seen. Looking forward to episode 4.

[@rosewrath_s_revenge]

Loved hearing the Celtic Frost tale🤘🏿

[@denphillips3402]

This part is even more mind blowing ! How have you found time for work ??? On the first part I spoke about our similarities and said about the 10k race analogy..... Now you're crossing the line to the sound of the bell... and I've just arrived on the start line. Another great instalment...

[@ElTorroTheMan]

Love your rants.

[@sherryraisbeck9547]

I would of loved to have seen Gregg Allman...his voice💖...i smiled when I heard your dogs voice in the background...whenever I see a husky it reminds me of "the thing" with Kurt Russell...they are beautiful dogs

[@Joefaf104]

For loudest, I remember seeing Ministry on one of the Lolopolooza tours up at Montage Mountain outside of Scranton. We got there a bit late or were wandering around, but wound up really far up the ski slope, hundreds of yards from the stage. I believe Ministry cane on around dusk and we’re bragging throughout the tour about how loud they played. Also recall thinking, “whatever” I’ve seen Motörhead countless times! God they were loud!! They played “supernaut” and I thought my chest might cave in!

[@Jamescub]

Some the concerts I saw were Cheap Trick (small venue in Boston), Asia (Alpha tour), Rush (Grace Under Pressure tour), Grateful Dead (1983), Grim Reaper (1984 in Boston) and Elton John and Rod Stewart (both in Boston).

[@kevinsmith7-7-7]

Pete, Been waiting for this Killer Stuff as always

[@KAndrew636]

I have always read The New Yorker (mag) and have always dreamt about going to all these shows! What a great history! Going to see Iron Maiden in August- St Paul! Keep up the great vids!

[@deanpesaturo6401]

Dimebag was actually shot to death on December 10th 2005 cuz it was the 35th anniversary of the John Lennon killing the same month of December 8th. I remember it because I believed it’d had something to do with it all. Sincerely yours, DJP ex PostMortem and Kilslug Boston Massachusetts USA 🇨🇳

[@neugey]

Lucky guy Pete, this one was pretty much a who's who of so many metal bands I like!

[@johnforan2973]

There is a TRIO band on Reverbnation. Orange Eye. EP was released and set to be but things happened. Listen to the EP. Well recorded. We did that on the back side of Three Doors down on the expensive side. Hey Pete... Go listen to the EP. Orange Eye..."Bent Over Velvet"... Just go type in Reverbnation Orange eye. You will find the original 5 tracks that sound like the studio recordings. 3 piece band

[@lonegroover]

My loudest concert was Motorhead, at a small club in Jan 1978.

[@angusvanhalen2886]

still no AC/DC lol. prt 4 tomorrow, getting late and im getting old. loving the vids

[@Jamie.Laszlo]

I’ve gotten chills many times at shows. But it takes a bit for tears to come. Here’s the times I recall: Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1987. (Especially when the Pittsburgh Civic Arena roof opened during my favorite song of all time: Southern Cross Elton John in 1989. Just about every damn song. Mary-Chapin Carpenter in 1990 (I had a huge crush on her) Iron Maiden in 2003 with Dio and Motorhead. I was four rows back Pat Benatar in 2015. It was a show in Vegas and I snuck to the front row and got to shake hands with her. I touched her DNA! And it was the softest DNA ever!

[@stephenbrown4211]

I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd last year in Cambridge, England. I don't know if I'm getting old but he was that loud, not only did my ears hurt but my head was being knocked back

[@carmenruggiro8663]

Seen Heaven and Hell at the Times Union Center, Albany....what a great concert...one of my favs of all time

[@GMHG777]

Was at that Gigantour show at PNC, my buddy and I knew Peter Lindgren pretty well back then so we hung at the catering area with him after their set (during Lamb of God I believe), but that was the only time I ever saw Megadeth live oddly enough

[@polska1958]

My best concert ever--1977--Pink Floyd at Soldier Field- concert of a lifetime, it pays to be old.

[@clanspen]

Are you going to the Dio Hologram show in Asbury or Yes at PNC in June?

[@sidneypasquarelli2122]

Did you ever see Steve Hackett in concert? I saw him in Montreal in the early 80's! I really did the song Spectral Mornings!

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Yep, saw him about 4 years ago, doing plenty of old Genesis stuff...mind blowing!

[@josephdefilippis07]

The loudest concert I’ve seen was Foghat at the Monterey County Fair or Journey at the MACC

[@magicbus63]

My concert That blew my mind was Eric Clapton touring with Steve Winwood also The Who Hits 50 tour

[@grahamtaylor8912]

The loudest gig I ever went to was Saxon in the early 90s at Mansfield leisure centre. I had seen them at larger venues dozens of times and they were always deafening live but that gig was a pretty small hall and the PA they had was huge, it hurt your ears.. Couldn't hear properly for days.. Iron Maiden had a record breaking PA at the Monsters of Rock festival with 120,000 people watching it but that never seemed anywhere near as loud as that Saxon gig.

[@grahamtaylor8912]

Best live gigs I ever went to was Monsters of Rock UK 1984. What a line up. Accept, Gary Moore, Ozzy, Van Galen and AC\ DC

[@drummusicinc4027]

Cool stuff!! 🎶✌️🤘🍺

[@bionikball75]

Felt the love for the Heaven and Hell show.

[@anthonyferraro9854]

I was at Crimson @Nokia Saturday show 2008. I think they played and sold out all 4 nights.

[@AndrewCapobianco2014]

Comment below has a typo - QOTSA not AQOTSA

[@tomsuzyinfluencerinfj2712]

Ooooh, Cradle of Filth...for some reason I like them

[@skallagrimr_kveldulfsson]

I love the lyrics and the 'old horror movie' kind of atmosphere. Great symphonic extreme metal.

[@robertsmithers9059]

Dude, do you like Spiritual Beggars? Sound like they just stepped out of 1975 - influences from Deep Purple, Heep, Scorpions, Hendrix, etc. (side band for guitarist from Arch Enemy)

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Love 'em!

[@laudanum669]

A tip for the hot outdoor shows when they want $6 for a bottle of water. Find the first aid tent tell them you are feeling dizzy. Free water, ice, orange slices and a few bottles of water to go. My hottest concert Maiden, Accept 100 degrees not a tree in sight.

[@robertsmithers9059]

pretty slick, mate.

[@mattyboywalker9094]

Loudest ever evrr gig for me was airbourne beach ballroom in my home town of aberdeeen November 2019 omg so.so so loud

[@misate8993]

Top 10 songs next Triumvirat, Starcastle or Eloy?

[@smashdalde9713]

Loudest show? Slayer London Oct 90' My trousers were flapping..

[@lisamacdougall8977]

who do u like better alice cooper or black sabbath pete

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa...have you not watched any of my videos here??? I think the answer to that question should be pretty obvious! I've stated on more occasions that I can count that one of them is my 2nd favorite band of all time.

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

and, I'm just poking fun...it's Black Sabbath of course! Though, I also love Alice.

[@robertsmithers9059]

Someone was louder than Manowar? Better not let Joey hear that!

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Manowar was my #2 loudest show ever!

[@gez1809]

Is Gigantor an American thing?

[@robertsmithers9059]

1960's TV cartoon

[@AndrewCapobianco2014]

Mars Volta | AQOTSA | RHCP Albany 2000 ? By the Way Tour Queens were so F'N Loud

[@psylurian]

Do a best of Killing Joke!

[@borguskorguss7082]

God I want ur luck with talking to Tom Goddamn G Warrior. Bows before ur metal greatness.

[@photopicker]

Ted Nugent 2nd Winterland gig. Huge PA. Viciously loud. Plug your ears from the nose bleed seats. Ridiculous. I have some friends who are more interested in playing loud than playing good. What's that old saying? If you can't make it good make it loud.

[@vmat1000]

loudest, ufo, bg civic mechanix. sheer over load straight out from the staqe. garbled mess.

[@paulbetteley2047]

My hate at concerts during the song especially during the quiet parts people whistling doesn't bother me between the songs come to see and hear the band not you don't mind clapping along or singing but come on stop it during the f###ing songs
