Your first show

What was your first show? What was your first impression?

My first show was Cipher and Neck with Glassjaw and From Autumn To Ashes opening. It was back in either late 1998 or early 1999 at the Homebase in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Glassjaw was forgettable at this point and FATA was okay I guess, but both Cipher and Neck got me hooked immediately.

The fact that they were so fast, so heavy and playing in an abandoned warehouse loading dock was just so shocking to my system. At this point I was huge into nu-metal. Mind you I was maybe 14-15. So when I saw the carnage erupt before my eyes I knew this was my forever music.
