The best story I have is from last year's Bloodstock where a kid, about 13, caught a sweatband from Megadeth and some drunk asshole snatched it off him. A very little old lady next to me marched straight into the pit (it had died down a little bit), told some of the biggest and scariest moshers to come to the rescue, to which they did and luckily it was peacefully solved. Saw the same old lady riding on the back of one of the big fellas later on, through the crowd. Got a selfie with her later.

Did Grandpa mosh? Lol

"I love Suffocation." - Tony Goes perfectly when listening to "Infecting the Crypts".

You're amazing, you represent every young metalhead out there

Listening to heavy metal with your grandpa. Brutal 🤘

I am going to my first metal concert in June! I will be seeing Slayer!

My closet is full of t-shirts, my walls are full of posters, and I have no more room for CDs. Am I still going to buy merch I don't need? Yes lol.

Damn, you have a fucking badass Grandpa

You be amazed how many lonely older women attend metal shows.

Awesome story That's a pretty metal grandpa

I got to smoke weed with Roger from Mortician, just him and I in an alleyway. That's my metal concert claim to fame 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Just saw Destroyer 666 about two months ago, unbelievable live, ended the set with a cover of “Iron Fist” and it was ace

The wildest concert i've ever been to was a festival in my hometown. It was in summer but it was raining the whole time, so the ground was all slimy because of the sand, and we were all drunk and fucking soaking from the rain and the sweat, and on top of that moshing to goregrind and brutal death metal acts. I still don't know how i survived

I love you so much man, you're my favorite metal youtuber, you are awesome, May the Metal Gods be with you

Man you are soooo much better than Jared dines!!! Favorite KZfaqr

I could've sworn that was you at the Exodus, Obituary show. I didn't find your channel until after but I definitely remember seeing you there.

When I saw Primus, the guy standing next to me was smoking a cigar for half the show. Hopefully, the Slayer show in Charlotte doesn’t have that. See you there, I guess.

In 2013, I saw Morbid Angel for the first time, and got to hang out with Trey Azagthoth and have a 30-minute discussion on the occult, the concept of creative visualization, and Nocturnus. Dude's one of my heroes and to this day I can't believe it actually happened. I also watched Tim Yeung throw a hissy fit when nobody wanted his autograph and he slammed the door of their bus in a fit of rage hahaha.

You litterally have the best memories with grandpa I could ever imagine bro!🤘🤘

i always wanted to go on a metal show but i dont think this is goint to happen in my life because of 3 reasons 1 im too young to drive 2 bands i like never come to my country 3 when i will be old enough to go to a metal concert alone , most of the bands i like wont be touring anymore sad life for me

I'm happy to see you younger metalheads listening to the music I was listening to 20 plus years ago. I'm a older metalhead but I still go to shows and still show my support for the bands. I have been to 219 concerts so far,not to mention all the local shows. We are the most loyal fans. Keep listening and posting.

Enjoyed the video! Can't wait for volume 2!

I love the stories but you are making me damn envious! I can never go to metal shows because I am too young to drive and my parents wont let me go on my own, and none of my friends have good taste in music XD (One of them likes some mainstream bands like Stone sour, Slipknot, Five Thinger Death Punch ect, which I like aswell, but Stone Sour costs like £45 to see! Screw that!)

I have that same Death t-shirt!!! Grind on tony!!!🤘

I can't wait to hear more stories, great idea man

I love your vids and have come to love the legendary GHOUL as much as you

I love how he turns into kermit sometimes

I NEEDED THIS! :D Thank you so much! :D

Much respect to you for taking a stand against Metal Sucks and their bullshit ways of undermining the scene! Huge Watain fan here btw. Joined the Watain Disciples a few weeks ago. Anyway their shows are always amazing! Feels badass to live in the same town as the Watain members. They often show up at the yearly “metal flea market” in Uppsala to sell off some of their older shirts and records.

Oh cool, A music enthusiast documenting his historical stories I look forward to more

This video is getting me hyped up I'm going to see Municipal waste in 3 weeks with my friend and it's going to be my first concert, great video as always.

I haven't even been to a concert but my metalhead uncle said that when he gets out of jail he'll take me to a bunch of festivals :) That is unless his wife convinces him to give up metal like she's been trying to do the whole time they've been together.

looking forward to having a chance to meet you at the slayer concert in june

My first metal concert was metallica

Fucking awesome video, I can't wait to hear more crazy ass metal stories and eventually carve my own path through the mighty genre of METAL🤘

I was at the one in Bristow too!

Love your videos! :D Greetings from Germany!🤘🏻

Amazing stories man. Music keeps us all going \M/

I saw Exodus with VoiVod in 1985 or 86 at the Ritz in NYC...I believe it’s now Webster Hall but that concert taught me a valuable lesson about extreme metal...do not Hang out in the mosh pit if ur not used to metal heads thrashing....a nuwave mosh pit like for The Cult, let’s say is waaaaaay different than a thrash or death metal mosh pit...at least back then it was...peeps are probably way more cool nowadays in taking care of each other via mosh pits...it seemed that way for slayer show at MSG last week.

dude, you got hair like janis joplin. now that's cool

Carcass and Obituary... Fuck. That's insane. This entire vid is so awesome. Really interesting and entertaining. Keep it up dude and thanks for so much awesome content!

Man you have went to some epic shows this got me in the mood to listen to cannable corpse and obituary

I went to see Suicide Silence and Killswitch Engage back in September 2022 and I was able to spend

You're so Lucky I got into Metal the year of Sabbaths final Tour in 2017. Great Video btw.

My first metal show is in May - I’m seeing Megadeth in Camden! 🤘

I love your hair dude!

Yesssss a new video I was just going through his oldest videos earlier today🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Another great video tony and there is a interesting story about my first strange concert experience. It was at my first concert and I went to see Clutch, the obsessed, and the Devin Townsend project. It was a great show until a guy with grey hair in the crowd complained the whole time because they would not play the song Spacegrass. I guess that guy was probably drunk or something?

Going to see my first show in October! Trivium!!

YEAH THE NEW KILLBOT VIDEO!!!!!

The fact that you go to concerts with your grandpa is really really cool honestly.

The coolest moment I ever had at a show was opening up for Exhumed back in December. Such cool dudes and they loved our set! And another would be when I opened up for Origin and they saw I was repping an Origin shirt on stage they all came up to me and thanked me for sporting their mercy on stage. Such a cool moment!

you are great!

Another awesome video from the best metal tuber out there💗💀.....Keep em coming...

I actually saw Suffocation on my very first festival at age 15. I was right up front and my neck was dead afterwards. Watain was also there, also very cool performance, though I was drained a bit from the 45 minutes of Suffocation before that.

Got to meet Kreator once and Type O Negative several times.

Hey man i met you at the cannibal corpse show dec 3 2017. I was the guy getting a sledge hammer autographed by cannibal corpse. Great video.

I’m new to your channel, good stuff. I live in Western NC and hardly venture out to shows anymore. Asheville gets cool stuff from time to time. Last show for me was Slayer in Asheville of 2015.

Damn! Carcass and obituary! That must’ve been a sick show! 🤘

Just found this channel. It’s awesome to see YoungerGeneration that is into traditional classic death metal

I love In NC too

Awesome

In the future, my favorite Death Metal band of all time I would love to go see which will be my first Death Metal concert is Nile.

I live in North Carolina too! That’s Awsome, rock on! \m/

That story of the first stage dive took me to the memory of the same thing that happened to me! It was an underground death/grind metal show in this very small place near Florence (I'm from Italy) One of a friend of mine, who is like 8 years older than me (I was also 16), suddenly grabbed me for letting me crowd surf and all the others crazy metalheads that were there helped him to let me stage dive, even the singer of the band was impressed. It was an amazing experience... I'll never forget even if there was something like 50 people, really good memories

Hey Killbot, this was a great video. You're a really great KZfaqr and you got me into loads of bands like Misfits, Obituary, Suffocation, Death and even Tori Amos! With that in mind, I listened to Under The Pink and loved it, and I wanted to ask you which Tori Amos albums would you also recommend? Cheers mate :)

Cool stories bro. Hopefully I can see some bands live in the not to distance future.

Awesome video

My first concert was a slayer concert in August 2018 there was Napalm death, testament, anthrax, lamb of god, then slayer so amazing

First time i saw black sabbath was in 2005 at ozzfest cool show ever

Holy shit you were at the Greens borrow Iron Reagan show! So was I!

My first metal concert, which was my second concert, was awesome. I went with my friend and his step dad and it was just a bunch of local metal bands that were playing. Like 40 people attended but it was fun as hell. I got to go into a pit quite a lot, and there was even a small wall of death. I even got to fist bump one of the lead singers of a band.

You can only have experiences like that at metal concerts. 🤘🏻

Concert Story. Saw Metallica live in London this year, great show, all the bands were great. The next day me and my girlfriend are sitting in a cafe in Heathrow Airport waiting for our flight back to Edinburgh, she nudges me and nods in the direction over my shoulder and sure enough when I looked around I saw a tall man with tattoos and a walrus moustache wearing a cowboy hat sit down at a table behind me. James fucking Hetfield sat down near us in an airport cafe! I spoke to him for a few minutes before we had to go to our gate. Cool guy! Spoke to him for maybe ten minutes about the show, music, guitars, where we live, cars and other stuff, he doesn’t do pictures or autographs though but he’s very polite about it. Edit: he gave me a pick when I mentioned that I play bass

Some fucking cool stories, Tony. I actually began going into pits and Crowd Surfing recently, at Chicago Open Air 2017 (With Kiss, Slayer, Korn, Lamb of God, Behemoth, etc.) And Now I'm seeing Slayer the 25th of next month, those people in the pits better be ready haha. But yeah, metal shows are awesome and most definitely provide some wild fun and stories \m/

I'm only 17 but Ive done missed out on a lot of old school bands looking at this 3 years later makes me wish I was born in the 80s

I live about 45 minutes away from Charlotte so once i get my license next year, i'll be able to go to some shows

Tony, I saw Sabbath back in 1982 ,when Ronnie James Dio was their frontman Great concert ! I was the only person who left the semi open air venue with her hearing still in tact

Nice video bro i like watching your videos

Was there a wink at the hit me up part

I've been in a wall of death. hurt like hell

Wow I live in NC too!!

@killbot&gorgor I have been talking.to Phil the guitarist from iron Reagan \m/

I’ve got my first death metal show tonight at the Lincoln in Raleigh. I am fully prepared for whiplash

Oh man I saw Iron Reagan last year in New Orleans during Mardi Gras with Power Trip headlining (didn't care much for them). The venue was very interesting as they served Russian food. Also met the local band called Fat Stupid Ugly People which I recommend you check out. Not sure how to describe their music... I'd say somewhere between punk and grindcore? Anyway they sounded great

Me and my dad were once in a tour bus with Watain and destroyer 666.

You have a badass grandpa A few months ago I went to a hardcore/metal show, it was Negative Sky, (another band I don’t remember), Old Wounds, Madball, and E.town Concrete, they’re all local NY+NJ bands. E. Town is one of mine and my dads favorite bands, and the whole show from Negative Sky (first band) was a mosh pit that just kept growing. By the time E. Town came on, the headliner, the ENTIRE VENUE-NO JOKE- was a mosh pit, and they did their first wall of death. It was badass 🤘🤘🤘🤘

You have an awesome grandpa!!!

5:30 I also got a $20 signed poster form exodus at the merch booth and it was great

Amazing stories And anyway your shirt is my live 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I’ve been going to big concerts since I was younger but very recently I’ve been going to concerts at smaller venues. It was a whole new experience for me, the first small venue concert I seen was on February 3rd the band playing that night was Carnifex. I bought meet and greet tickets, it was awesome got to talk to them got stuff signed and I stood in front of the stage the whole night. The next concert was Oceano and the experience was great, I thought the dude next to me was drunk through the slaughter to prevail set. Once Oceano took the stage it was amazing, and I’m sure the dude I was standing next to me was on ecstasy, when ever the breakdown hit he would thrust himself on to the stage but not to try and get up and stage dive but to rub his whole body on the carpeted stage. His body slid back down and he started rubbing his hands all over his body and his face looked like he had surpassed euphoria. Later that same night a dude i talked to earlier that night was about to stage dive, he gets to the stage and happens to jump right on top of me. I’m a 6’1 big guy so I used my hands to capture him but I accidentally use his momentum to give him a push and I looked behind me hoping to see him crowd surfing but instead everyone behind me moved out of the way and he was on the ground in pain. I felt so bad for him because he was a cool dude. Now if I ever go to a concert I only go to concert that are in smaller venues then those that are in big theaters.

Man, you’re so lucky to be able to go to so many shows. No one ever comes to Singapore.

You saw Kreator Live!? I’m so freaking jealous! Have you seen Tankard, Destruction, and of course Sodom!? Out of the Four Pillars of German Thrash or The Teutonic Big Four, Sodom might be my favorite. I absolutely love Kreator and Destruction but Sodom dabbled in Death Metal sounds all the way back in it’s very early proto form before it grew into its very own separate Metal Genre. I absolutely love the Big Four of Germany. What always amazes me is how most people have no idea how insanely large, diverse, and all encompassing Europes Heavy Metal community is which also has some of the very best bands in the business to date. Some of the best, largest and most expansive Heavy Metal Music Festivals are in Europe and I’ve been to Wacken Open Air. I’ve never seen so many Metal-Heads in one place in my entire life. The 3 day Festival had some of my all time favorite bands and some of the kindest and coolest people you could ever meet! But even with that being said I have yet to still see Kreator live!

Bro my first fit for a king concert there was a moshpit circle pit wall of death and i staged dived twice!!!!! it was DOPE!!

Going to Sabbath with Grandad. I took my son to see Iron Maiden and a few others. It's funny how times have changed. The idea of my parents going to see one of those devil bands,... impossible.

So far, I've only been to two metal concerts but hey, I thought both were really good. My first one was going to see Nightwish and Sabaton at the House of Blues in Disney Springs in , Orlando in May 2015. Sabaton was funny as hell, particularly Joakim Broden, and well let's just say getting to see your favorite band of all time play right in front of your eyes is an experience on it's own. Then as a birthday treat in October of the same year, about a week and a half after my birthday, I saw Symphony X and Overkill in the Ybor City Ritz. To add to the birthday specialty, my mom also managed to get VIP passes to a meet-and-greet of both bands. At the door they gave both of us a poster with the bands' logos on them and everyone from both bands, except Russell Allen, signed the poster and I got to talk to Bobby Blitz. We took pictures with both bands, with Russell still being absent for some reason, and then proceeded to the show. My neck was practically broken by the end of the show thanks to Overkill. Also the first time I was near a mosh pit, we were both set at the ring of death every time one formed...unfortunately, but since I'm short as fuck both as a 14 year old back in 2015 and as a 16 year old now, I probably wouldn't be jumping into any kind of mosh pit anytime soon. Let's hope that in seeing Nightwish in April, me, my mom and my dad all get a picture with the entire band, or at least the mastermind himself, Tuomas Holopainen.

that reminds how i had a good experience with that dragonforce concert back in october

Bro, you should have nailed the widower with the hooters🤓

Holy shit! No idea you were from North Carolina. I go to the Blind Tiger all the time for shows! I'm from Greensboro!

My best story was in 2015 when I saw Danzig/superjoint ritual on the blackest of the black tour. A couple hours before the show, my buddy and I were walking around the venue trying to see if we could run into Phil anselmo. Ended up running into Glenn Danzig instead! Got to talk to him for like 3 minutes and I got a pic with with. Best day of my life!
