My God! Im getting old!

[poak]

I'm still trying to figure out why a 12 year old needs to go to a rock concert. Take her to a G rated movie instead.

Sounds like someone led quite the sheltered life

[Guest jackdog]

hell you ain't near old yet. I can remember when I first stated driving gas was 26 cents a gallon. If you wanted a pick up you needed to go find a rural dealer because urban dealers carried little or none on the lot.

[Guest canynracer]

two words: Quiet Riot

[Guest HogMan]

Hell you don't know what old is yet.

[Oh Shoot]

Hell you don't know what old is yet.

You said it...

These whippersnappers, geesh.

I spent some San Francisco time in the late 60's, worked across the street from the Fillmore. Sly and Family Stone at the Winterland for a buck. Free concerts in Golden Gate park, the Angels in charge of security, wow...

Airplane, Dead, Creedence, Jimi, ....

Like that....

Now that's OLD.

Joni Mitchell rules!

And don't eat the brown acid,

two words: Quiet Riot

Three words: The new Slade.

And they weren't even trying to be.

[Guest marine77]

My first time of really feeling old was when a newbee fresh out of basic in my guard unit said he had been born in 1977. I thought, sheesh, that was when i took basic in the corps!

[Guest Matchguy]

Hell you don't know what old is yet.

Neither do you, young'un..........VET 1961-64:usa:

Saw Johnny Mathis in concert at the Valley Music Theater in L.A. on December 30, 1965. Agree that John Fogerty and his Creedence Clearwater was the ass-kickinest rock band ever.......they were together from '67 to '72. 'Course, then there was "Hound Dog" by Elvis in '56.....now THAT's OLD!! :cry::cry:We won't talk about Medicare cards.

MG

[Rightwinger]

I pulled security for Journey when they had Loverboy open for them in Knoxville, 1981. Pulled security for the Clash in 82.

Saw Van Halen and got my first whiff of the "herb" crap in the air at Municipal way back in 78 I think. Didn't they just bury one of the Van Halen boys? Or was it Eddie just looking like death after Valerie came back to life?

[Guest db99wj]

I'm so old...oh wait, nope.

[poak]

the Clash

Now, THAT'S what I'm talking about

[Guest Astra900]

Joe, don't worry about the whole age thing. You should just be thankful it's not a damned Hannah Montana concert she wants you to take her to!!!

Do you know how many cases of ammo you have to shoot and cases of beer you have to drink to get that crap out of your system?!?!?!?!

Most excellent point.....

I remember when Black Sabbath played at our school.....for free.......in the basement of City Hall....where the po-leece were!

True story... most folks here are probably at least familiar in passing with the Backstreet Boys, that uber-popular boy-band of the late 90s/early 2000s.

Well, back in 1994, I was a freshman at the truly metropolitan Bunn High School in Bunn, NC. At that time Bunn was a one-stoplight town, with all the activity happening at the Exxon station at the corner of 98 and 39.

Anyway, we had one of those fundraisers that year where the students sold magazine subscriptions. One of the "prizes" for those folks who sold a certain amount was a "free concert"... and the performers at this concert were the then-unheard of Backstreet Boys.

A few years later, they'd be famous and making money hand over fist. But in 1994, they were singing in a run-down, 75-year-old gym in a redneck town, rewarding students for having successfully harassed everyone they knew.

I tell this not to brag, but because I think it's hilarious.

So wait. You're ADMITTING you've seen the Backstreet boys:stunned:......

You gave me a for seeing Tommy Lee's ass and then you post this!

Back at ya

[Guest mustangdave]

CHA-CHING!!!!

[Punisher84]

So wait. You're ADMITTING you've seen the Backstreet boys:stunned:......

I'd say better Backstreet than N'Sync, but Justin Timberlake now makes enough money to pay off the deficit so I'm gonna leave them out of it.

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

Nah, I didn't see them. I sold like two magazine subscriptions, and thus was not worthy to be in the presence of greatness.

[Almond27]

Ah, man you saw em and deep down inside your still yearning to meet your favorite one again.

[Smith]

Backstreet Boys!? What about the resurgence of the NKOTB!

Anyway, from the reports of the last Crue show by some "I think I'm still 18 and it's 1981" folks, you'd be better off sticking you kid in front of some porn and putting their music on in the background. At least they wouldn't have to see the "ageless wonders" flashing their wonders for the band! Funny how things look different when you become "old and responsible".

[Guest Grout]

I saw Motley Ctue back in 88.The opening band that I had never heard of before was far better.BTW that opening band was Guns and Roses.

[Smith]

Gotta love some G-n-R!

[Guest Grout]

Gotta love some G-n-R!

Especially when they first hit it big,before Axel flipped out.
