Great list Red, I saw Iron Maiden open for UFO on the Killers tour with Paul Di'Anno and every time they played
here after that until Power Slave.
I was lucky enough to meet and chat with Clive Burr on the Killers tour, I was very saddened by his passing.nice Blackheart, seeing Maiden with Di'anno and chatting with Burr must have been something special!!!
great memories
I've just been drinking Bruce Dickinsons 'Trooper' beer, not to be dismissed as a gimmic 
On another note, it looks like the only gig I'll be going to this year is Ozric Tentacles 30th anniversary one, last time I saw them was over 20 years ago

Thank you sir, that would be much appreciated.
And Mac, nobody does good time rock n roll like Kiss, c'mon man.

"No, early in GnR's career Paul Stanley was in talks to manage the band but they decided not to do it. He did try out for Poison but he quit when he heard he had to wear makeup."
There ya go.

Thank you man, I am about to pick up the phone and set a man straight

Yeah Red, Clive was very nice, all the guys in Maiden are and very easy to talk to.
Riff mentioned Paul Stanley, he came in the hospital to pick up some films from me and we chatted for about
half an hour. Told him I saw KISS on the Hotter Than Hell tour and by a chain of events in my life his band
was the reason I had this job…He wanted to hear every detail then gave me a huge autograph and thanked
me for being a life long fan, I in return thanked him for my job! -

i revive this thread with proof how awesome the fugazi show i saw was
http://www.dischord.com/fugazi_live_series/toronto-on-canada-71998and luckily for anyone else thats ever seen them, the crazy fucks recorded almost every show they ever played
and have spent the last 4 years transferring the tapes to digital.
theyve got 300 shows up on the dischord site and another 500 to go
so if your show isnt up there yet. it will be in the next few years
enjoy -
You have made my day. Two classics to relive on there.

I had pieced together that riffblaster general was in some type of substantial touring band, but it was unexpected and great to read this thread and see it was converge. Saw you guys at sonic unyon in Hamilton back in maybe 2002, and at hellfest in 2003, both just incredible performances. I think there may have been a couple other times, but life is long and it's been awhile.
Best live experience ever would probably be broken social scene at lee's palace, a pretty small and classic toronto venue for them to play at that time. The set started with Kevin drew buying the whole room shots of tequila for a toast and then bringing Tom cochrane out to play a song with them. Later in the show cochrane came back out and they covered boy inside the man. Pretty incredible stuff for a canadian, and possibly meaningless to a non canadian. Bill priddle also made one of his few appearances playing live with bss at this show which was a real treat, as he is a phenomenal guitarist. They also played guilty cubicles, which is my favorite social scene song, and a real live rarity.
Edit: googled to confirm that hellfest was the correct year and ended up with this gem

that is awesome. great to see so much love for cursed and colohan in that thread as well, I don't listen to hardcore much these days, but I still give ONE a spin from time to time. pictures really spun back the years for me. at the mercy of inspiration were one of my favourite local bands

The first time I took acid. It kicked in about 15 minutes before the start of this video.
