LOUD CONCERTS! ZZ Top, Bad Company, Cheap Trick

I am an old fart so my loudest concerts were:


1. Ted Nugent

2. The Who
3. Robin Trower
4. Queen
5. Jethro Tull

ZZ Top - A Fool For Your Stockings from Deguello

My first concert was Kiss in ‘76. Cant imagine why I came home smelling like smoke.

When I first moved to Texas, our HOA issued us a box set with the first six ZZTop albums and stated that this was mandatory to living in Texas, and that there would be a quiz later.

speaking of loud Texas Musicians, Roky Erickson is dead..

he played loud music, and had even louder voices in his head..

R.I.P.

LOL I've never heard of ZZTop, Bad Company, or Cheap Trick until I stumbled upon this thread!

I've never been to any concerts but I do listen to Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Backstreet Boys, Iggy Azalea, Miley Cyrus, The Weeknd, Madonna etc. during my free time. I'm mostly into pop and dance music though I also like some country and rap music.

Thanks for mentioning these oldies, I gotta check them out now!

Alot of concerts were always loud for me.
But that is because I like small venues and stage front.
When LOA were a good band, they'd always mix amongst the fans.
KMFDM also.
But the Lords suck nowadays and forgot their roots by charging for VIP.

My first 3 concerts were Kiss, Allman Bros., Allman Bros. From then on I had the Blues!!!


RIP Duane & Greg Allman

Cheap Trick FTW!

The more I learn about music, the more I realize that what you wrote is spot on: modern artists are influenced by older artists and the cycle goes on and on. Made me take a step back and think "How arrogant & naive must I have been to assume that modern songs are original pieces of work? That they came out of a vacuum with no prior influence whatsoever?"

Oh well, a hallmark characteristic of a young adult is to think he knows everything about the world. It's only when he grows older that he realizes how much he doesn't know.

I'm excited to check out this entire fresh menu!
