If you had a time machine...

[daimonos]

Inspired by Treghet on the other thread.

If time machines are invented, I will be first in line to go back to 1990 and see Mayhem with Dead on vocals. There are many other bands I'd love to see in that time frame too, though.

What band in what period of time would you want to see?

I agree with Dead and Mayhem.

I'd also like to have seen:

Strapping Young Lad before they broke up.
Slayer during anytime 83-early 90's, specifically around the Hell Awaits tour.
SLEEP!!!
Ozzy with Black Sabbath, and Randy/Early Zakk years
Celtic Frost
Testament
Suffocation in the 90's
Death any time, ever.
Pantera in the 90's
Carcass and At the Gates in the 90's


These are a couple just off the top of my head.

[larvtard]

Slayer between '85 and '91
Sepultura, Beneath/Arise era
Death, preferably Symbolic/Sound era

Listen to Chapel of Ghouls, then listen to something that came out after Domination. I don't even really like the albums after Altars, but after Domination it's really hard to enjoy for me.

Altars is great, but really I think it's all quality music. They did change their sound and styles alot though, and I see why people wouldn't like that. But music can't be good if you always have to compare it to something you think is better, right?

Yeah, I suppose. I'm just not a fan of their new sound.

[ChildrenofSodom]

If I had a time machine, I would go see the band "Kill Hitler Before He Does That Bad Stuff."

[Wizzbang11]

If I had a time machine, I would go see the band "Kill Hitler Before He Does That Bad Stuff."

And potentially miss out on all the awesome NSBM our post-holocaust world has to offer?
No way!

[idrinkwine732]

SLEEP!!!
SUCK IT ;)

Death (TSOP Tour is most ideal, but beggars can't be choosers)
Pantera (even though I ain't the hugest fan)
Iron Maiden Somewhere on Tour, Beast on the Road, etc.
Emperor
Kyuss
Hacksaw to the Throat

A bunch more.

If I had a time machine, I would go see the band "Kill Hitler Before He Does That Bad Stuff."

It's once you start doing really significant things this thread starts to get interesting. What if in the world where Hitler didn't carry out the final solution, everybody is much worse off?

[Wizzbang11]

Exactly, plus there are worse things in history than the holocaust. That one just happens to be in out recent memory.

[rjturtle9]

Aw man, too many to list. I'd go see all my favorite bands in their prime and finest point in their careers, and try to hit up shows that would later be released on dvd.

[xStructualDefect]

pretty much all bands i like when they were in their prime, but the main ones would be:

Korn on the Issues or Untouchables tour (99-03ish)
Metallica MOP tour
COB touring before they released AYDY
In Flames touring before they released RTR

[idrinkwine732]

Then in terms of historically:

D'oh!

Do you realize that if you don't occasionally say that, I will completely forget that I'm supposed to be doing anything at all? I am that scatterbrained this summer. I need the routine of school back, and fast. :lol:

Youth is wasted on the young, as they say. It sucks, the idea of growing up....when you're younger there are few things you HAVE to do, but there are so many things you can't do yet. When you get older, you have more freedoms and opportunities, but also more responsibilities. Makes me want to be 7 again.

There are a few other popular bands I'd like to see but those are the ones I'd be most interested in.

[The Green and Black]

Savatage: 1991

Nice! For me would be to go back in time and see Savatage on all their tours up until 1993. :(

[Sanitarium78]

Nice! For me would be to go back in time and see Savatage on all their tours up until 1993. :(

Yes, but I was just trying to pick the year I think would've been the best to see them in terms of what setlist they would've done. Plus, with HOTMK, GB and Streets they were on the biggest wave of popularity in their career at that point so it would've been cool to see them when they had a lot of fans respect.

Of course the question reamins that if you went back and saw them then would you warn Criss of what was gonna happen to him two years later and alter the course of history? Or would you just leave it alone and let fate take it's course? I would try to warn him, he would probably think I was crazy though:D

[JRA]

The Morbid Angel/ At The Gates/ Dissection US Tour in 94...seriously, just wow.


Holy
fucking necromancing
shit!!

Sign me up for that Doc brown!

Mercyful Fate(Melissa, Dont break the oath, In the Shadows tour)

Pink Floyd(The Wall Tour)

Nevermore

Type O Negative(Seen them twice, but would see them again, with Peter Steele dead going back in time would be the only way to see Type O)

[jd091]

I hear so much stuff about how people's lives were changed seeing Pantera in the 90's. That would just be incredible; I would love to have seen that.

I would've loved to see some of my favorite bands when they were young, and not as popular, playing in small venues:

Lamb of God, around 2003 with the release of ATPB
Mastodon, around 2002 or 2003 when they put out Remission
Opeth, right after the release of Blackwater Park and their first real US tour
Necrophagist, around 2000-2001 when they first came to the US and everyone then realized that there are gods amongst men :drool:

and Death, Carcass, yadda yadda yadda...

[zgodt]

SUCK IT ;)

Iron Maiden Somewhere on Tour
suck it yourself. ;)

[zgodt]

I'm gonna second Wizzbang on the early 80s DK, and throw in some late 70s Clash for good measure.

[Blitzkrieg Witchcraft]

Damn, I'm old. I've seen a ton of you guys' time machine tours.

a few I'd like to have seen:

Led Zeppelin
AC/DC with Bon Scott

Rainbow: Rising tour
Van Halen: late 70's Early 80's
The Eagles in the 70's
The James Gang

[DethMaiden]

Just remembered that Maiden and My Dying Bride toured together when the X-Factor and The Angel and the Dark River were new. That would have been an amazing, depressing night.

MDB opened up for DIO at one point over here, too. 96ish, i think.

Also, like blitzkrieg said, I've seen quite a few of the "time machine" tours, you whippersnappers!

Pink Floyd
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
The Clash
Nasum

[Blitzkrieg Witchcraft]

Damn. Talk about old school :fist:
