The I was there/indie cred thread

[patsopinion]

Being a sleeves supporter from day 1 makes me very proud
to see something that i love acutally morph into something other people love really makes me happy
now if we can just get ron and fez of the launching pad....




what were you on board with before it was cool
bands you saw in their infancy
people you knew before famous
that kind of thing

[west milly Tom]

Ray LaMontagne

i still haven't figured out your "fuck you string theory" rant, but when i do, i'll be sure to mock it :wacko:

string theory is fucking meaningless

its just broad conjecture by a bunch of suedo scientists, with no relevant real world applications or even testing capicities
its bullshit!

im angry because i spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the fuck they were talking about, thinking it was real science and it turns out a physics grad student just liked smoking pot and had his paper due with nothing to write on it

Jenna jameson - I saw her first porn (up and cummers 11 I think) and knew she would be a star.

Back Door Slam.

I saw them in the back of a bar with like 7 other people in 2007. Then I saw them again in 2008 and they basically sold out the Bowery Ballroom.

wilco - saw them in 95 in chicago... fan ever since.

But there was a lot of anticipation for Wilco. The breakup of Uncle Tupelo was a shock to thousands of fans who had traveled throughout the Midwest to catch multiple shows. We all knew Farrar's followup band was going to be great, but it was unclear what Tweedy was going to do as the hardcore UT fans all believed that Farrar was the better songwriter. Tweedy did have the advantage of initially taking with him most of UT's touring lineup, along with Bottle Rockets leader Brian Henneman on the first album.

Of course, nobody predicted the musical twists that would come in the future.

i claimed jenna hayes (or haze depending on refrence), as someone i knew was going to be huge before she got there

Not to get off topic, but there's this thing called mathematics , you should look into it.

I dont know, I think I'd much rather see CIV even if Dropkick could only play the first album at that point.

True to that. I hadn't seen UT but was very familiar with their work so I was naturally inclined to see tweedy in his new digs. It was pretty amazing. However, being from buffalo, I would never have even made it out that way to see them unless I had been going to chicago for another reason as well. In 95 I was visiting a friend and we had the chance to see wilco and did.

I used to just type www.google.com into my browser back in 95, I knew it was coming.

And you probably thought that Netscape was going to be bigger than AOL and be able to beat out MS internet explorer.

[keithy_19]

Gaslight Anthem. They blew up and I saw thema t my high school (when they were known as this charming man).

Also the band Say Anything. I was into them before you could find their recordings on the east coast.

[patsopinion]

my dad turned me onto a english band called "the Felling" a while ago
kind of an 80s/men at work era/ pop band thats big in england

saw em on palladia the other day with their new song, made me smile that i knew who they were

[Stankfoot]

Foo Fighters - 1995 / Tramps NYC opening for Mike Watt

[hammersavage]

Kathleen Turner Overdrive when they were still called Sonic Death Monkey.

[donnie_darko]

i was conning highschool girls into anal to save their virginity from day 1.

just dropping a spitlubed hammer on em.

[hedges]

I saw my buddies band open for Faith No More in '87 in a small club. They were fuckin' awesome. Faith No More was already starting to do well on college radio with the single "We Care A Lot". Five years later, with a different lead singer, Mike Patton, they were opening for Metallica and Guns N' Roses.

[joethebartender]

ESD's favorite, Guns and Roses.

Saw them on one of their first NYC dates at the Felt Forum (general admission). Axl still had the teased out red hair and braces...he looked skeeered!

A few years later, I saw them with Aerosmith and Deep Purple at Giants Stadium. I can find myself in the paradise city video (filmed that day).

[Don Stugots]

Leticia. "Gorillas live in my butt" FTW!

[dryerdoor]

Interpol and The Klaxons.

[Marc with a c]

jakeandamir.com they do little sketches on their website, and are now getting a show on mtv. i enjoyed them for a long time.

Saw AFI play in someone's basement in Huron, SD in 1996. There were 8 of us there, then we went and drank beer and replaced their alternator in their shitty van. They were signed to Nitro Records in 1997 and the rest was history.

They used to be hardcore.

They are absolute dogshit now. It's real cringe inducing when you hear a kid say "Days Of the Pheonix" is a great song.

"Answer That and Stay Fashionable" was real fucking great. I still crank the volume for Cereal Wars and Rizzo in the Box.
