One of my Favorites was Behemoth in the pouring down rain at mayhem 09. There was something about the rain that, along with behemoths outstanding performance, made the set unforgettable
I've been to several where it poured. Most notable was family values 06 rain the entire day the lawn was nothing but mud. Matt from bury your dead ran out to the pit to do the last song and came back covered in mud. I remember leaving that day and going into the rest rooms everything was covered in mud including the ceiling and out in the parking lot everyone was baked changing into clean stuff before they go into their cars. I enjoyed staying in the covered area and being clean that day lol.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
Mine would have to be the 2008 Mayhem festival in Atlanta. Most of you know the story by now. I won the autographed Slipknot guitarand got to meet most of the band,went to the Mastodon private party,rode around with John Reese half the day on his golf cart. Got on the side of the stage with Machine Head and met a ton of bands that day.
Catching a drum stick from the Suicide Silence drummer at Mayhem '08 (i think) was pretty epic for me. Was the first time I caught anything from a band.
A Mushroomhead halloween show in '02 where they all came out in pumpkin masks and put on an amazing show.
An Offest date in '01 that was my first metal concert which has Mudvayne, Disturbed and Slipknot.
Death is not the worst of evils.
You can't be down, when you're always high.
Suicide Silence/Whitechapel offdate from Warped Tour in July. Had the barrier for both the bands, both put on great sets. The best part was blazing and hanging out with Suicide Silence after the show. I also got to talk with Phil from Whitechapel for awhile which was awesome.
First show I ever went to was WAAF Big Field Day in 2001 and I saw and met 8 of the 9 bands (Fear Factory (original line up), Staind, Crossbreed, Primer 55, Clutch, Boy hits Car, Econoline Crush and Professional Murder Music.) I also saw Rammstein (didn't meet them though) which was one of the best shows I have ever seen.
Seeing and meeting the following bands for the first time: Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Black Dahlia Murder, Amon Amarth
...there are plenty more memories I have but I can't think right now as I am really tired from working last night.

They opened with Disciple and all of the sudden, this huge gust of wind bulldozes through the pit where we were.
Just kidding, I have to think about this.
