I dig Manson!!! I have been to 2 shows... One was in a really small venue...prolly 1000 people max (back in 97)... then in 99 they came through town with Hole...

forgot to mention the protests at each show... I got struck by a protester at the 1st show...and at the second show they made a "line of resistance" and were trying to stop people from going in...

 

[darth tang]

I saw manson quite a few times, all smaller venues. Haven't seen him at the really big one's yet (have no desire to).
I have met quite a few stars (mainly musicians). All due to the friends of mine in Minnesota. Between the five of us, one of us always managed to know the right person when it was needed.

Protestors are awesome. they can be easily agitated and manipulated. Got free tickets due to protestors to a manson concert at 1st ave. once. That was awesome.

I am amazed that Slash is still alive... when I saw Velvet Revolver last year I thought that guy looked like death warmed over... Keith Richards if you will...lol...
ru(get off of my cloud)around...

Speaking of Velvet, I got a funny story about Scot Weiland. He end up going over to some chicks I know house after the show in Minneapolis and he was in the bathroom for a while. Afterwards the toilet was stopped up good. They had to have a plumber come rip out everything...apparently syringes don't go through plumbing very well. They tried to sue him..lol

Oh crap, now I have to do math. I would say from 16-26 I have been to well over 100.
Since I turned 26 and moved, I have slowed way down...concerts and lifestyle, so in the last four years I have been to...12, maybe.

Yeah, but I get the cool and close parking spot and front row seating without the young punks, in backwards red caps, thinking that is what a real rockstar looks like, slamming into me in their wannabe mosh pits.
Mosh pits were invented in my day at Anthrax concerts. These kids now have no idea.

I honestly dont know how many shows... there was a time when I was going to 2 to 6 shows a month... a good friend had VIP passes through his work to a small venue here called "The Big Easy" so I went to alot of shows for free... there are very few shows that come through here that I dont go to!!!
I saw the Grateful Dead in Atlanta (the last show in the Omni), saw INXS at Wolf Mountain in Park City... just before Jerry and Michael Hutchence passed away...
ru(show goin fool)around

 

[darth tang]

Between my my girlfriend/wife, we have added it all up and deduced we have hung out with every rockstar from the late 80's to early 90's and a few before and after those eras...including prince.
