Ok, So here I am...I'll try and write pretty much anything whenever i have the time.
May 17th 2007 : Some people spend their money on cars/clothes/activities...i spent mine on concerts and music,for 25 years i went to concerts regularly,here in Quebec City (Canada) or in Montreal a 2 1/2 hour ride from here. I was 15 when i saw my first concert (I was in Africa before that (Parents worked there 3 years)so...not many concerts there) so my first concert was STYX, the paradise theater tour. Not very metal i agree but don't worry, i made up for it a few weeks later.Styx served as an eye opener for me. The sound,the lights,the 16 000 partying people besides me, i just felt so at home in a concert!
My second show was Peter Gabriel,good, but i was never really into progressive music. it's at my 3rd concert that i truly fell in love with the ambience at concerts... OZZY OSBOURNE...Diary of a madman!Yes Sir The Madman Himself, coming to see me !,Ex-Black Sabbath Frontman in my hometown! it was almost religious for me... Hey,I said almost.After that,Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast,

Thank you Metal, thank you Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin for inventing a new Sound. The sound that became the soundtrack to my life.
