Thankfully I did get to see the Ramones, along with Social D...insane show, I'll never forget seeing them play the first 10 songs at double speed and no breaks.

I don't even think I can remember half of the shows I've seen, it's been a while. I was lucky to be in the right place geographically and the right time to really grow up with the pacific northwest grunge scene. When I was 16 I had the privilege of seeing both Pearl Jam and Nirvana open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a tiny venue in Salem OR....ah, this thread brings back memories.

What were the band member line-ups when you saw them each time? If you saw them back in the day with Tommy Ramone, I will be one jealous mofo.

I've seen about 500 bands live in my 7 years of going to shows.
And by shows, I don't mean huge concert halls and event centers, but friend's basements, local VFW's or Legion Halls, or specialized d.i.y. venues.

Long live punk rock ethos!

I saw them with Megadeth, so I was in the mood for thrash and not hardcore, so I would of liked them better if they were at Mayhem Fest or something than with Megadeth.


I'm not a big fan anyways, but if you like the band I'd say go see them, they put on a good show. I just wasn't in the mood for them that night.
