Please stop me if there's a similar thread.

Yeah, so we have already talked about bands we discovered here at Metal Storm. But what about great bands you first heard at a concert? An opening band or maybe even the headliners (if you by any chance just came for the openers).

For me, the most important surely is Deathstars. I was at the Cradle of Filth concert in Gothenburg and Deathstars were the opening band. I had only heard Cyanide before that, and didn't really listen to it. Why should I have? They looked so damn emo and I instantly thought "not another Marilyn Manson band". But at the concert the band blew me away already with the first song, Tounges. I thought it was so damn good, but felt a little ashamed since all the small girls (typical "emo-fjortisar" as we call them here in Sweden) knew all the lyrics. So I took a look at my friend and saw him moving his head to the music. So I carefully said: "This is kinda good". And he thought so too. When "Play God" came I knew I just had to buy the album ASAP! Good thing I did, today I hold Termination Bliss among my favourites.

What more do we have? Evile at the Megadeth concert were awesome, but I rather complete my Slayer discography first. Mastodon and One Man Army & the Undead Quartet are also great bands I discovered at concerts. The most important after Deathstars is certainly Sepultura at an In Flames show. I had just heard some bad samples from them and thought they sucked. But when they opened up with Refuse/Resist I knew that it was a band for me. Especially since I really recognized the song but couldn't figure out where I had heard it before. Very annoying, I could hum along to the whole song. After a while I realised that Apocalyptica had made a cover of it.

I heard of them and checked out their myspace but I really first discovered Vader when going to see a Deicide show, I really liked Piotr's voice which is quite comprehensible and simultaneously very loud and brutal!

Turned on to so many bands that opened for others.
Most recently Obscurra opening for Cannibal Corpse.
Also from the past...
Machine Head, Def Tones and Coal Chamber, all who opened for Pantera

Many openers I have realized I don't need to listen to...
Like The Faceless, they have opened twice and I just can't get into them.
I will do NuMetal, but I can't handle the screamo-emo stuff!

hmm I can't really remember much. In a lot of cases, I check out the band before they play, but the bands that I can think of that I knew pretty much nothing about that impressed me are Warbringer, HMP, Bestial Incarnation, Severed Savior, Desolation, Embryonic Devourment, Suicide Silence, Witchburn, Wild Orchid Children, and maybe one or two more.

It's really strange when one second no one knows anything about a band, and then their popularity shoots up overnight because of a certain tour, and you begin seeing their albums in mainstream CD stores. Take Warbringer and Suicide Silence for example...

or the Faceless

I went to see OverKill with Bonded by Blood, Gama Bomb, Evile, and Forbidden. I was really there for Gama Bomb, which is probably my favorite thrash band. Before the show, I found both Evile and OverKill pretty mediocre, and I had never bothered looking into Bonded by Blood or Forbidden. At the show, I ended up buying both of Evile's albums and Bonded by Blood's second one, and my dad has since become obsessed with OverKill. So I really discovered three bands at one show, and of course Gama Bomb was great. Forbidden was okay, but their material varied from great to crap.

P.S. I met Evile (got my CDs signed), Philly Byrne from Gama Bomb, and Bonded by Blood (again, got my CD signed). The singer from BBB spent the last hour and a half hitting on my friend, which we will continue to tease her about forever.

From what I've heard, she's not the only one.

Apparently he does that a lot.

Honestly, I can't blame him. But if I hadn't realized at the last minute that it was the singer from the opening band, I would have thrown him into the pit.

A whole bunch of musicians are apparently very good at this. Heard some stories about Vital Remains too, for example. Can't blame them though. What would you do if you had some female fans?

I'd also say that only making a few moves on a girl is something there's nothing inherently wrong with. If you don't take no for an answer though, then you're probably a latent homo.

There was nothing inherently wrong with it (and he was a cool guy anyway), I was just jealous.

I went to see Deicide and Vital Remains at a bar a couple years ago. Order of Ennead played with them. Had no clue who they were until that show, fucking amazing band.

I found out about Malevolent Creation, now my favorite death metal band, by seeing them open for Exodus. I also discovered Vader and God Dethroned by seeing them open for Overkill. Great bands, helped me get into extreme metal.

What was your experience with the Vader discovery?
