Believe it or not I was not, I didn't really like or didn't think much of that Love Gun album you know, and they come out with I Stole Your Love and Love Gun, but I've grown to love it. haha. Back then, I got so nauseated with the cheese on these records, records that I had previously cherished I would rush to the store when they came out to buy them as soon as I could or I guess wait for Christmas or my birthday to come around to get them as a gift but I got so sick of...it just dawned on me one day I hate this shit. So I did all kinds of evil shit to the records I took a soldering gun and fucking melted the fucking things and did every form of scratching you can imagine tore everything up pretty much and then I walked down to the end of my street and there was a creek there, I guess it's a county runoff thing or something, anyway, I took all those fucking albums and tossed them right in that water or...sewage whatever.
I was really hoping to see them during the Destroyer album. But now looking back on it I know that the Love Gun tour was their greatest tour and I'm glad I was the.

Hey, that Queen show was to die for.My first concert, my uncle and his wife took me for my birthday; show was on my actual birthday, 1976; was Queen on the A Night at the Opera tour; Palace Theater in Waterbury, CT.
As a kid I remember liking the song Killer Queen on the radio, and getting the Sheer Heart Attack 8-track tape, and playing it in my parents' and uncle's cars if they let me. I wore that tape out! I think my parents convinced my uncle to take me by buying our tickets though I could never confirm it. My uncle and his wife went to see Led Zep in 1977 in NYC, and didn't take me...
I went to many shows in middle school and high school at the Palace, in 8th grade I was friends with the owner's youngest son, and even though we had to buy tix, he and his older brother reserved the first two rows in the balcony, in front of the main balcony walkway, for their friends. I watched many shows from there in the late 70s early 80s
I hear you though, Zeppelin.
I was sitting there listening to the radio while people are at the Pontiac Silverdome watching Led Zeppelin and I'm going yeah this ain't right.
But then again, there was a lot of stupidity that was going on at that show. Some fucking guy threw himself off a second level, I think he ended up paralyzed or dead or something. Then there's these idiots, these complete fuckheads, they got the great idea of, hey let's throw into the crowd M80's, so they'd be on the upper levels chucking these M80s into the crowd below, or just toss a full brick of firecrackers.
Those fuckers should have been rounded up and executed.
