Heavy Metal Parking Lot

Remember back in the day when you and your buds would pile up in the car and head to a concert several hours before the show ? Yep, I'm talking about" The Event before The Event". This was a time honored tradition that us old school Metal heads lived for. Unfortunately, it has faded away just like records and cassettes :-( I have many fond memories of these events,some pretty crazy ones at that ! share your stories,I know you've got 'em !

Everyone called it Big Mac because from a distance it looked like one! Anyway on one side there was this sloped grassy hill and we would all back our cars into the spaces, break out the little bar-b-q's crank up the tunes and party our asses off! Big Mac was torn down along with the old Mile High Stadium to make way for Invesco Field. The new Pepsi Center(nicknamed "The can") went up on the other side of town and it's just not the same. And the big party poopers in blue (yep, the cops) pretty much put a stop to the old fun. Now it's illegal to drink in the parking lots.
The best parties were at Red Rocks...and there is still some of that today. But even it has changed. It's a beautiful outdoor venue...and get this, it's no smoking in the seating area! It's outdoors for Pete's sake! I don't smoke but even I though that was over the top. and of course beers and sodas are like $8 each for 12 flipping ounces! I miss the old days when going to a show was just one big party. Like the Bob Seger shows....that was like being at a biker rally! Buteven at the KISS show at Sturgis earlier this month I didn't see any partying in the lot....but I was there very early and spent my time in line, we had fun but there was no partying going on. and the prices of things inside was just f***ing sick!

The whole audience was on their feet singing along dancing our asses off and just having a total blast! Seger will always be one of my very fave songwriters and performers. He did three sold out nights in Denver on his Like a Rock tour and my friends and I went to all three!; ▶ Reply to This

I know, I know, they are not even close to being metal, but if you never went to a Dead show you really missed out. The parking lot was filled with barbecues and another smell that wasn't patchouli, but made everybody feel strangely mellow. Even if you didn't have a ticket you could go and hang out all day, and sometimes people would give you a ticket. It's true, those hippies really knew how to party.; ▶ Reply to This

Years later when they banned drinking in the parking lots me and friends figured out that a beer bottle slides nicely into a pringles can.; ▶ Reply to This

Had to take a dump once while partying in the parking lot of an Aerosmith concert. No port-a-pots were available and when ya gotta go ya gotta go. High tailed it into the woods and started to releave myself when I noticed about 25 feet away from me some dude and chick getting it on. They didn't notice me and when I was done I yelled "left ya a present" and ran away laughing my ass off.; ▶ Reply to This
