Quote:Yeah...I may be old but I got to see Your life changing band OPEN for Armored Saint and W.A.S.P. at LaMours in 1985, Young buck...ok... even though Sluggo's got a few years on me... I actually saw Metallica & Anthrax open for a band called RAVEN at the Roseland Ballroom in August of 1983...
but, back to the topic at hand... The first album I can remember owning was KISS - The Originals (1st 3 albums in one package with a booklet, huge KISS Army Sticker & cards...all of which i still have)
first album i ever spent my own money on was Cheap Trick - Live at Budakon (which I also still have)
as far as bands that had a lasting impression on the way i see music... I'd have to say that seeing the Dead Kennedy's live in 1983 (maybe 84) was definately a mind blowing experience... things just never seemed the same after the first time you get a doc martin ricochetted off your skull...
