motorhead.

My first live act was a Japanese composer/artist whose name i can never spell. The first band i ever had a ticket for live was Nirvana in April 1994. I didn't go and have been pissed off about it ever since. I think the first band i actually saw live was some nonsense like Apes, Pigs and Spacemen

luxinterior - NICE Sleater-Kinney pics!!!!

My first REAL show - the eye opening show - was a noise show out in Cincinnati, OH with Robert Inhuman, Being, and SX. I had no clue what the hell noise was, I was so intrigued with everything. It was amazing. Thank god to my boyfriend, his brother's noise, Being, was amazing. He had old TV's with nothing but static in the background and spraypainted words like War, Oil, Bush, Money, etc...all on them. And then he busted the shit out of all of them. It was ridiculously amazing.

I went to a radio show for my first concert.

Let me make it clear that I was a minor at the time, and my parents forced me to go with them. :o

Not my first, but I saw Run DMC in 1987, supported by Beastie Boys.

Yes, and I still have nightmares of him chasing me with a bible.
