Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I’ve seen live in concert
Blue Öyster Cult Black Sabbath - W/Dio Cheap trick Sammy Hagar Journey
Rush used to be one of my favorite bands until they went main stream. I’ve probably seen them at least eight times.
That was my jive. Going to concerts, living in Southern California, and being affiliated with a few people in the know via the Scorpions. We went to a lot of shows, we went to a lot of backstage events, and met a lot of rock ‘n’ roll stars. Back in the 80s it was fun. I even have a picture with Carmen Appice.
I think I was in eighth grade, and we got to go see Van Halen at the whiskey, a gogo on New Year’s Eve, right before the first album came out. Somehow one of my school friends had an uncle that drive a bus for them or something like that. I got some kick ass pictures of that event. I literally sat on the stage and watch the show. I think I was 13 maybe. We got permission to go because his mom went, but really seriously… Where the fuck were my parents? New Year’s Eve, whiskey a gogo, Van Halen come on man. One of the best days ever though.
