RESIDENT ROCK PROFESSOR
The Far Beyond Driven tour was unreal . I’d give anything to be in that atmosphere and see Dime play live . I tell you that day I stopped sweeping for like a year lol
As a kid you saw dime didn’t do that shit . Now hear I am doing sweeps on a 8 string lol . But man Pantera was the best band on at in 94 while Metallica made Load and Reload

Mr. Bungle-California tour. To see Trey Spruance doing what he did with a POD bean and floorboard, let me know anything was possible.

aaaaaaaand now I'm going down a Mr Bungle/Faith No More rabbit hole on Youtube. I'd only ever heard Epic, so I listened to another FNM and they actually rock. The first Mr Bungle song I came across kinda scared me away, it was creepy af.

Mr. Bungle has a pretty wide range of material. California is a masterpiece and maybe their most "accessable" album. FNM is my favorite band ever. I love all their albums but "King For a Day..." is a great starting point. Angel Dust is amazing.
 
@japetus Excellent taste! 🤟 Patton is very influential to me even as a guitarist. As an Italian myself, HUGE fan of his Mondo Cane material ( highly underrated imho ). Tomahawk, Fantomas, Bungle, FnM...just brilliant. No one can step 'outside the box' like Patton.

That is awesome! One of the coolest shows I have ever seen was Fantomas on their first tour, Dave Lombardo drumming...it was insane. That first Tomahawk album is absolutely killer.
 
seeing IN FLAMES in 1999 in the front row of a tiny club in detroit that holds a few hundred people, when i was 17 had a pretty huge impact. I feel like their next US tour after that, with Earth Crisis in the summer of 2000 probably had a pretty big impact on a lot more people because it wasn't long after that when METAL CORE took over the states and everyone was sounding like a mix of those two types of bands. i distinctly remember on the metal forums back then, neither bands fans were very happy they were touring with each other. earth crisis kids were known to be hard line straight edgers who smacked beers out of peoples hands and harassed smokers. I loved to get drunk and smoke at metal shows back then, and didn't feel like having to defend that right against some pissed off vegan jock.
 
I don't know what the tour was called, but Buddy Guy was a pretty big deal to me when I saw him.
 
Seeing in flames, jag panzer, and iced earth in 1999 at the graceland in seattle.

My high school guitar buddies and I met Jesper, Jon, Chris Broderick at the guitar center in Tukwila.

u sure that wasn't 04? in flames toured with Moonspell in the winter of 99 and that was their only run of the states in 99. i saw in flames, jag panzar, iced earth, and maybe a 4th smaller band at Harpos in the spring of 04. former super fan here :geek:

edit: maybe it was 02. they might have toured twice with that package. the internet says 02, but my ticket stub say april 20th 2004.
also, i didn't know about this but it is pretty on brand with jon and his big fucking mouth.

I graduated in 03, so it must have been 02 - I have the ticket stub somewhere but it definitely wasnt 04
 
Wouldn't say a tour per se but an album...

Revenge by Kiss. After years of consuming everything from Rhoads to MacAlpine to Sykes to Vandenberg and getting my chops to it's highest level, Kulicks playing on Revenge was an eye opener. Bruce went from pretty much being the standard bearer for all styles of the 80's in Kiss to really just gut level playing on Revenge. Just mean gritty style playing which really help me evolve and wrap myself around the more AIC influenced playing of that era. Still had the chops when needed but it helped expand my playing in terms of solo's etc... to be more current to that era.
 
Monsters of rock. I was a diehard classic rock and blues guy. Jimmy and jimi…nothing else. Then I saw that…awesome stuff.
 
Seeing Led Zeppelin at MSG, NY 1973.
I was playing about 2 years at that time. I walked out of that 2 and a half hour show amazed at what could be done with a guitar.
My other thought was too take up a different hobby.
 
Three shows come to mind. GnR opening for Aerosmith right as Appetite was breaking. GnR f'ing killed! I was in high school.

Dream Theater playing at The Alrosa Villa when I was at Ohio State. Touring for Images and Words. I knew very little about them but seeing them in what was basically a bar was mind blowing.

Third was Black Label Society at The Alrosa Villa. Zakk up close and personal. Yikes!
