The first show that I saw in my long life was Mötley with Lee Aaron on their Shout At The Devil tour and man what a show. Never been a huge fan of Van Halen though. I still appreciate how he plays guitar but I don't know there's something missing in their songs I think.
Not a fan of Crue's albums after Shout but I still respect them very much.

Speaking of \M/etal, best show I ever saw was Metallica with Voïvod which come from here. It was during their Kill 'em All tour before they got bad as they are now. Hate the stuff they do since after Ride The Lightning. HATE IT!!!

Cool. for the Record, Van Halen has the better body of work. Never really cared for Motley Crue.

Next Show for Me is ZZTop in November...Billy Gibbons is one of my guitar heroes and it'll be the first time I see him.

Speaking of concerts, I have seven to go to until December I do like my concerts.

I got see Van in 1980 with Cheap Trick opening and it was a great show. Peoples eyes were just bulging out when Eddie did his licks....he was incredible and still is!!
Saw The Crue in 2005 and they seemed never to miss a beat...it rocked as well!!

Finding a girl who likes metal in Southern Indiana/Northern Kentucky was never a problem. Finding a girl who likes metal in Southern Indiana/Northern Kentucky who didn't have five kids from five different fathers, or an STD, or both -- that was the problem.

lol....well, you got me there!

I can play rhythm to just about anything but crazy fast solos like Rhodes, Lynch et al. bust out has never been my strong suit. These crooked, stubby fingers of mine just don't lend themselves to that kind of thing.

Rhoads was great, though. But then Jake E. Lee, who took over for him with Ozzy, was no slouch, either.

@DG - A girl who likes Metal? I thought those didn't exist anymore

@Lon - Oh yes, George Lynch is a great guitarist. I loved him in Dokken but after his time in Dokken I didn't follow him much. He is a great guitarist though.

If we're speaking of great guitarists here, we must bring up Mr. Randy Rhoads! What a man he was, I loved all the stuff he did, even though I can play some but it never sounds the same

I know what you mean, Scav. Morello's actually pretty good when he's not playing through half a dozen effects pedals at the same time.

Another great guitarist is George Lynch. After almost fifteen years of playing, I still can't play 95% of the solos in his Mr. Scary instrumental.

I bet that was awesome. One of my big regrets is that I never endeavored to go to more concerts. My obsessions with movies and chasing tail in my twenties took up the majority of my time. And I lived in Louisville, where every major act comes through. My friends used to invite me to concerts all the time, but I always turned them down in favor of those other two things.

^ Yeah I know what you mean, but I still like some of Yngwie Malmsteen's stuff but most of his stuff is him just shredding as fast as possible all over the fretboard and that's it.

Another guitarist I wouldn't like is Tom Morello, all those stupid effects he uses. He nearly relies on them solely.

Nice! He still does Eruption live. He had about a 15 minute solo with Eruption and Cathedral.

^^^ That's what I like about EVH. Unlike so many other blisteringly fast players, he insists on maintaining an actual melody and isn't just jerking off all over the fretboard. Unlike, say, Yngwie Malmsteen. When he plays, it sounds like a hot mess to me.
