el paso was their solo tour which was about a 3 and a half hour show. each member took the stage by themself and did about a 15 minute solo. lars on the drums was a FREAK and rivaled anything tommy lee ever did.

james and kirk had a little duel. james got blown away and walked off the stage which led to kirks solo. kirk showed how all those lessons from satriani payed off. he did some very classical stuff. dudes got mad skillz.

newstead ripped it up on the bass and did some funk, blues, jazz and of course thrashed it.

in las cruces was the HUGE summer tour with faith no more and guns in roses. it was the tour where those huge flames you talked about burned james' arm to hell. they had the megadeath guitarist fill in. i catered that show, so got paid to watch it for free. backstage passes and all. ( is set up their room with all the food and alcohol) bumped into kirk carrying his guitar through the skinny hallway. AWESOME! we listened to the final song "greenhell" from behind the stage, and cheered them and told them they f'in rocked as they walked off. each one was like "thanks guys".

albuquerque was with suicidal tendencies, fight, and candlebox. once again metallica stole the show. i would go see them anytime. hugest mosh pit ive ever seen. 5000+ jammed tight to the stage. it got pretty tight and we got the hell out of there (took about 20 minutes to squeeze through. huge pockets of flat out fighting were breaking out everywhere. i thought it was gonna get bad.

im jammin some channel 124 on sirius. pat and tim- moving the chains.

Seen Metallica 7 times since 1986. Nothing tops seeing them at Giants Stadium in 2004 (Summer Sanitarium Tour). They played NO NEW CRAP and the crowd was as loud as I have ever heard them. You could hear every word being sung by the crowd perfectly clear and loud as hell. I think even the band was in awe. It was awesome to be a part of.

I was at that RFK show. Remember how the place got totally trashed - plus all of the bonfires and people getting thrown up into the air in blankets on the field lol Everyone was going nuts.

...and yes, Dokken and Kingdom Come both sucked that day - Metallica and the Scorpions were the BOMB and so was Van Halen. I don't remember them being too loud and distorted though.

I saw Dokken and Krokus together in 1986....memorable concert for me because the bass player from Krokus actually stopped playing midway through a song and picked up what had to be the LARGEST pair of panties I have ever seen...that someone threw onto the stage.

Now listening to..........Suede - Animal Nitrate

Believe it or not Tony....best concert I ever saw was John Mellencamp...I didnt want to go but was dating a girl who bought us both tickets. He played that audiance like they were an instrument....has all of us eating out of his hand.

Every single person in the arena was singing "Rain on the Scarecrow" at the top of thier lungs....total showman.

LOL

I've seen Dokken open for Judas Priest and also Aerosmith on the Permanent Vacation tour. George Lynch passed out onstage after the third song and the roadies came out and literally dragged him off by the heels.

That beats my story of a very intoxicated Stevie Nicks spinning on stage....right off the right side into the pit...concert was delayed for 15 minutes until she came out and sang the rest of her songs....(holding onto the mike and standing in one place)

LOL That's pretty funny though. I've never seen Stevie live.
