I saw morphine just before the guy died. I also saw SRV as a kid just before he died. I also saw Vic Chesnutt opening for Jonathan Richman just before he died. I feel like the angel of death

Prodigy at the Brixton Academy in 96. Absolute audio and visual assault. Brilliant. Saw FNM with L7 at the Glasgow Barrowlands in 93. I got to briefly say hi to Dee the L7 drummer and the blonde girl on guitar outside. It was only a few months after they appeared on The Word (British late night show in the 90s) and Donita the singer pulled down her pants and showed her shit on television, so that was a hot topic. FNM were great too. It was the Angeldust tour, which was imo their absolute prime.

that's cool as ****. Brief L7 story: my girl got hit in the face with a tampon at a show. Tried to fight them and failed. Would have been pretty hawt though.

I wasn't aware that listening to Sublime was automatically an attempt to appear more "edgy and hip". Brad was a talented vocalist and songwriter. I'm guessing you're only familiar with the songs MTV played and basing your opinion on this sample size.

It pays to be alert and notice things when youre out and about. Youre probably too busy runnin your mouth to observe things though
Today I was fuckin around in Greenville SC with my homies and our bikes..A woman came up and was asking us about em. She was a Harley lover...I noticed she was Andie MacDowell..No one else picked up on that

This was so freaking hard, but I like these five:
5.) Peter Gabriel @ Rosemont Horizon 1986 - His albums really changed the way I looked at music in the early eighties, but finally seeing his show live was just so epic at the time. Felt like he was performing with at seventy-four piece band and it went flawlessly.
4.) Tom Waits @ Chicago Theater 1999 - Another performers whose albums I loved immensely, but never really had the chance to catch live. Worth the wait. A showman in the purest form...can have you double over in laughter and then break you heart in just a few strokes of the piano. Born about fifty years too late, but we are better people because of it.
3.) Guns N Roses @ Perkins Place 1987 - My very first trip to California and this was a side trip I had to be dragged to kicking and screaming expecting one of those lame skinhead punk shows SoCal was infested with at the time. Instead, full on Sunset Strip nastiness. I did things at that show I still not proud to admit (i.e. drugs, skanks, beat up by Santa Claus), but will never forget.
2.) "Lame Fest" @ Moore Theater 1989 - A trio of bands by a label I was doing work for. Tad, Mudhoney and Nirvana. I remember thinking, "Man, Mudhoney is going to be huge!" Also the night I met Kurt Cobain. **** you haters...that was the sweetest kid in Rock and Roll.
1.) Queen @ Popular Creek 1982 - My first high school concert. Totally got to second base with Cindy. Oh yeah....and captivated by the greatest rock n roll frontman of all time.
