  When I was 16, a friend invited me to see Rush and Blue Oyster Cult in concert. I had never been to a concert before and was completely blown away seeing these two great bands live. Music has always had a special place inside me from that day forward.

  ok, I’ve got two. The first was when I was 14 or 15, can’t wuite remember. I was washing dishes at a small diner in upstate NY. I hear one of the waitresses say in a low tone. “Uh-Oh, here comes Motley Crue” becasue two long haired fellows walked in. The other waitress says “actually that looks like Robert Plant, from Led Zepplin. Low and behold it was. He was on tour somewhere upstate, either albany, Spac or syracuse and they were just taking a ride through the country and wanted to go sit down by the lake the diner sat near. Long story short. I got his autograph…but really had no clue who he was. However it did spark my curiousity and I became a huge Zep fan and then that grew into a love for metal.

  When I was 15 I bought my first Iron Maiden album “The Number of the Beast” because I had money to blow and I liked the cover art. Latter that day when I was listing to it the song Hallowed Be Thy Name came on and I fell in love. From then on Iron Maiden was my favorite band and that album opened me up to the world of metal music.

  I went to a Peter, Paul & Mary concert at Music Hall and they turned off all the amps & mics and did several songs without the electronics. It was cool.

  My favorite musical memory was in going to see Black Sabbath and Pantera in concert. Black Sabbath reunited for this tour and it was awesome! Ozzy was great and so much fun! We had so much fun I wished the night never would have ended!

  Mine is meeting Mike Watt before his show in support of “Ball Hog or Tug-Boat”. He had hurt his back and was doing a meet and grett with fans. He was lying on the floor, but still insisted on meeting everyone and having us lie down and chat even though he was pbviously hurting. A legend and yet very down to earth.

  I remember going to a KISS concert with some friends. It was my first concert and it was so loud my ears were ringing for days. I did enjoy it and had KISS songs running through my head for a while.

  I was fortunate enough to work for a small power pop band called Theatre in the eighties.We managed to get a opening slot on the Police Synchronicity Tour also with the English Beat. As I was setting up our gear one of the british road crew was vacuuming the carpeted stage and he stopped looked at me and said (Mate you know its a bloody big production when you bring a hoover along!) That phrase stuck with me,I was 18 I’ll never forget it.

  Another favorite moment was working the spotlight for 50 bucks in a nightclub in Naples Florida for the Outlaws. I was working for a band called Circle Six Billy Ashbaugh of NSYNC fame was the drummer anyway I digress. I had seen the Outlaws numerous times in the 70’s and here I was working for them if only for an hour or so it was cool.When I met them all after show I inserted foot in mouth by saying I used to enjoy there shows when I was 14 making them all feel very old I’m sure! Oh well

  One more crazy time in the infamous eighties in Naples Fl. There used to be this dive club by the name of Andy’s Stake house. Where I saw alot of good bands over the years! Well one day Andy the owner happened to hear of an arrest in the next town over Ft Myers it Sly Stone of Sly and the Family stone!!! Andy bailed him under the condition of playing the club that weekend. He did, and it was memorable to say the least Funky to the Bone. After that I guess Sly slipped into the drug induced departure until his recent return.I got my autographed vynil none the less and a few great musical memories

• Don Schraier

  My best memory is not going to my prom to go to a concert with my best guy friend (who I’m now married to!), and going crazy in the mosh pit!

• David Windhorst
  May 20, 2008 at 12:26 pm

  I also skipped my senior prom to catch a favorite band — but it was 34 years ago. My friends and I were the only glam/glitter fans in a little redneck west Kentucky town, so we drove seven hours to Knoxville for Mott the Hoople (who were fresh from becoming the first rock performers to play Broadway).

  Best. Show. Ever. “All the Young Dudes” live was transcendent. Altogether, way better than blowing a week’s pay to rent a cheezy tux and wake up drunk in the trunk of a car next to some girl I wouldn’t have really cared to see again because I was a serious-by-God musician and the music came first, even before good ol’ promsex.

  The only disappointment was that announced opening act Queen (on their inaugural American tour) had canceled and gone back home because Brian May caught hepatitis…

  I have great memories. They go back to the mid sixties, and some of them were so fantastic. One of my best, was seeing a band called Buffalo Springfield (Nash and Young were still part of the band) and having them call up on stage two of the Monkeys, that happened to be in the audience.

  My son Eric, is now a very popular and established guitar teacher in the Long Island, NY area. My fondest guitar memory was when we bought him his first guitar at the age of 9 and all he played over and over again was “Aint Talking About Love” by Van Halen. At first he played each chord slowly, over and over again..he did this until he got it perfect. You should hear him play now!!

  OK So when i was 13, my favorite band of all time was cheap trick.

  Before, I went with a friend to an England Dan concert, where he sang “It’s so sad to belong to someone else…” I think that was a wake up call. I had been involved with someone else at that time, but our relationship was going nowhere. Whereas with this friend of mine who went with me to the concert, we actually had a budding friendship that eventually turned into love. Now I am married to my good friend. :) I am actually glad… I made the right decision.

  As a child I grew up in a very musical family. My family members would get together on special occasions like Christmas and Easter but also on summer and fall evenings.
  I had several uncles and a grandfather that would all bring their bango’s, guitars and violins. While most of the women; my mom, my aunt and my grandmother would play the piano. Everyone would bring a dish, fix a plate and the music would begin. There was always a variety from Bluegrass, to country to Honky Tonk. It was always a wonderful time. Not to mention allowing each of us the ability to play several instruments.
  I truly miss those days as now both of my grandparents and several of my uncles have passed on. But I will always
  cherish the memories of all of us together with the music flowing.

  Memorable Music….That would have to be when I met some friends and they had their own concert. One played the violin and the other the piano. What talent. I wanted to sway with the music but didn’t dare move for the power that came off those strings. Tears just lighted and hung in my eyes.
  Enchanting.

  Ever since I’ve played keyboards in grammar school, I’ve been trying to learn to play guitar. I had a cheap acoustic that I’d pick up every now and then, but it would go out of tune so quickly that I got fed up with it. A nice high quality guitar such as this would allow me to maybe play for real instead of trying to make it up as I go along. Guitar Hero is as close as I get these days to playing.

  I played saxophone in junior high… well, until I had a bicycle accident (gym shoes hanging from the handlebars in a plastic bag + gravel on the roads after the spring thaw aren’t a great combination). I stopped playing music for a number of years.

  I picked up playing guitar a number of years later and have been a beginner ever since (10 years). I play for my wife and kids. My daughter recently received a toy guitar and loves to pick it up and ask for a lesson each time she hears me play. It’s been a great outlet for my creative side.

  My son, who is 11, has taken guitar for 5 yrs and piano for 7 yrs. Every year, in a packed recital hall, he gets standing ovation. Talk about memories! When I am upset with him for whatever reason, I look at him and understand…he’s a musician.
  He has a crappy piano but he persists.
  He has an old too small guitar, but he persists.
  I would LOVE to be able to see his eyes if I won this.
  If I win, by any chance, I will send a video; he’s not just a wonderful musician for a child; he is a wonderful musician period.

  In 1996 I saw the Highwaymen,I was so close I could almost touch them. It was wonderful. I think it was one of the last performances by them. Johnny Cash,Kris Kristofferson,Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

  It was a magical evening! Great giveaways btw!! and thanks!

  We lived on Lake Erie when I was a child and I was a little beach baby. I remember spending hot days at the beach in Huron, basking in the sun, with a big cooler of lemonade and PB&J sandwiches. There was always a radio along and I remember listening to Supertramp, Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, Olivia Newton-John, Fleetwood Mac…..this is the music I will forever associate with my early childhood spent at the beach!

  Back in the “summer of love” (that’s the late 1960s for those too young to shave), when I was a long-haired anti-war protester, I marched up Fifth Avenue in New York during a peace march. I noticed a young man carrying a guitar case, and I struck up a conversation with him, offering to carry his guitar part of the way. We chatted amiably for block after block, then entered Central Park where he took the guitar, thanked me for the conversation, and said he had to “go up front” now. A few minutes later, I was floored to see him mount the stage and begin to perform. He was Phil Ochs, the incredible folksinger, songwriter, and performer, whose music had been so central to my personal philosophy. But I had never recognized him on the march route, and would never have dreamed he would be so friendly and down to earth with a total stranger. It’s a memory I have always treasured.

  I have many musical memories but the first was probably learning to play “hot cross buns” on the recorder in second grade. Then my dad grabbed it and played the sixties song “everyone knows it’s wendy” which made me think he was a total rock star. but, in reality, it’s about the extent of the musical talent in my family! I never made it past a couple of chords on bass or guitar, so the Fretlight would be cool to play with.

  One of the best music memories I’ve got is the first gig I attended. I was a very late starter so it wasn’t until I was 25, but once it came it blew my mind.

  I went to see the Stereophonics in Nottingham, and came out absolutely blown away and slightly deaf with it. Since then, I’ve been to dozens of gigs, so it really did change my life.

  Mine is kind of old-fashioned, but special nonetheless. Every Saturday night, my parents, sister and I used to sit/stand around the piano while Mom played. Sometimes Dad would accompany her on guitar. We’d all sing (in harmony) hymns and any songs we could come up with that were fun to sing. Great memories!

  One of the best musical memories for me, I was working day shift in a plastic factory when my friend who was working night shift went out to cash his paycheck.
  He came back about an hour later and said “guess what I just got?”
  I said, “what’s that”
  He replied “As I was sitting in line to get my check cashed an announcement came over the radio. It said that Pink Floyd The Wall tickets go on sale now for Nassau Colosseum. I finished cashing my check rushed to ticketron and bought 5 tickets, floor seats.”
  I said “is one of those for me?”
  He said “absolutely.”
  That show was a once in a lifetime event seeing David Gilmore ripping the guitar solo for Comfortably Numb from on top of the wall was unbelievable.
  I seen a lot of shows Pink Floyd Animals, Pink Floyd after the break up, Live Aid, Live 8, Live Earth, Woodstock 2, Stones, The Dead, plus about 150 others. But nothing I mean nothing has ever come close to that show.

  My best musical memory has nothing to do with concerts, although I have been to over 200 concerts in the last 5 years! I play acoustic and bass guitar and I also play the piano. My piano teach of 12 years, Mrs. Surasky, was an old school teacher. She turned on the metronome the minute my lessons started and like clockwork would tap her number 2 pencil on the piano to the same speed as the metronome was beating to. This literally made me crazy, annoying as all heck, but I endured it each and every lesson. Well, this one day Mrs. Surasky was obviously feeling more than a bit frustrated with my playing and as she was tapping, okay now she was banging her no 2 pencil on the piano all of a sudden the pencil just cracked in half and flew in her face! Okay, first she was not hurt, more just startled, but we were both so shocked, and then when I knew she was okay, I could not contain myself any longer, I just burst out laughing! All of my pent up stress from having to endure her strict method of teaching was set free, if even just for that moment! To this day, I still get a big huge grin on my face when I think of that moment, which was over 12 years ago! Seems like yesterday because although Mrs. S. was a royal pain in the you know what, she was the most effective piano teacher I could have ever wished for, and one of the main reasons I am successful with my music today. And, this is a true story!! Mrs. S., I hope you are reading this! Thanks for offering this great giveaway and giving me an opportunity to share my story!

  My fondest musical memory? That’s easy - hands down, it was the time I went to a Sugar Ray, Fastball and Goo Goo Dolls concert with my mother and sister.

  It was my first concert experience at 11 years old. In the beginning, I was being a typical pre-teen and whining about the fact I had to go to a concert with my MOTHER (*gasp), but when we got there I began to realize it was an experience to treasure, not loathe.

  We had a blast, and that was when I first saw my mother as not just a mom, but a woman with varied interests and life experiences to share. The concert was memorable for not just the music, but the fact I got to spend it with my mom and my sister by my side. I’ll never forget it!

  My best musical memory is not my first. I have friends that have been working their band for several years. They are passionate when they play and I love watching them. Two years ago, they got a break and put out an album. I attended the launch party where the venue was filled with many from the music industry. A big deal for my friends. As I watched them play that night, I saw my friends doing what they loved, doing it with passion, and finally realizing one of their long sought after dreams. It was amazing on so many levels. And a night that I will never forget.

  I was three years old when I first discovered music- I mean REALLY discovered it. I was staring out the window of my mother’s 1968 Mustang as we rode along, and “Hey Jude” came on the radio. I stood up in the back seat and screamed for my mother to turn it up-
  “I LIKE this song!”
  My mother smiled and snickered- to her I imagine it was cute.
  To me, it was more like an awakening.

  While I love the instrument and can’t think of much I’d trade my playing ability for, I have to say my best memory was the day my mom told me I didn’t have to take piano lessons anymore.

  I started lessons at 4 and loved them. But two moves and three teachers later I was not quite so enamored. Partially because I was about 12 years old and could think of better things to do than pound out scales and triads and mid-level songs. But mainly because my latest teacher whom I’d had the ‘joy’ of sticking with for the last three years was likely getting old and senile, but translated to my young mind as “mean.”

  I like to think I had some talent at piano, but she kept me in the same level lesson books, sometimes regressing, for years. She would often tell me that I was playing something wrong and then show me how it was played…which was exactly what I’d been playing. She once stopped a kid at a recital whom she was playing a duet with announcing that the kid had screwed up and needed to start over when it was actually she who had messed up.

  I had begged my mom to let me quit and she always refused, assuring me that I just making a big deal out of nothing and should be able to stick it out. It couldn’t be as bad as I said.

  My mom also plays and that last year she was going to play a duet with me in the final recital, meaning we BOTH needed to be at a practice session with my teacher. To this day I can’t remember what was said, why my mom must have felt challenged or insulted or probably a mixture of both.

  I just remember getting in the car after the lesson where she turns to me and says “I’m sorry. I think I told you it ‘couldn’t be that bad?’ I was wrong, it was worse! And you never have to go back there again.”

  (**And there’s a happy ending since the following year I found my best teacher yet, who I stuck with for the rest of my piano education)

  My biggest memory with music is when I was 15 and learned to play my first song, all the way through, on the guitar.

  It was Enter Sandman by Metallica and took me about 2 months to master it. Once I got it learned and good, I was hooked.

  Also to kill 2 birds with one stone, I just stumbled this article.

  Jun 11, 2008 at 5:47 pm

  My life has been one great musical memory after another, it seems. I’ll throw out some highlights for fun, though…cuz I think this is a great idea for a contest.

  1. First time I played a song on the guitar (1968 or so). It was Ray Stevens’ “Everything is Beautiful”. I loved being able to play a song I knew and loved on an instrument I could carry with me (I’d already had a few years of piano under my belt by that point anyway). I think it was about 10 years before I laid that guitar down again. ;-)

  2. Writing my first song ever (1970). I did it as a requirement for completion of a Boy Scout merit badge in Music. It was an instrumental…a sad one…called Judgment Day. Many years later, I recorded the song on my first piano album.

  3. Learning to love listening to lead guitar. Phil Keaggy was one of the great ones for me (not to mention meeting him at his house in 1975)…check him out on YouTube. But there are so many great lead soloists and solos. Larry Carlton, Russ Freeman, Clapton. I never learned how to play lead seriously…but was able to play a solo that I really love on my most recent piano album (you can listen to it in the background of this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9-ApK9UdBfg ). I find it terribly sad that truly great lead guitar doesn’t happen much anymore.

  4. Playing music for people as a radio DJ. I was in radio for many years, and loved sharing songs that I loved with listeners…and having them call and tell me how much they appreciated it.

  I’ll stop there…but suffice it to say that my life (and probably the lives of most of us) would be much poorer without music.

• Robert
  Jun 11, 2008 at 11:27 pm

  My best musical memory? Well, I am a budding guitarist, and have just recently started to learn to play. My best musical memory would have to be about a month ago, when I actually played the intro to my favorite song, “Plastic Man” by Seether. I know it isn’t much for a lot, but considering I have no formal training, and I am only able to use my friends guitar, I am quite proud of the fact that I played it.

  I would love to win this cool guitar, it would allow me to play at my own house instead of travelling to my friends place, and if I am seeing correctly, it shows you the chords to play.

• Jason Marik

  Well where do I begin? My whole life has always been filled with music,From birth till the age of 8 I lived country music because of my Mom,I don’t mean top pop country I mean outlaw country like Willie, Waylan and the boys, Johnny Cash,Hank Williams and JR., Patsy Cline etc. Then at the ripe old age of 8 or so I had a step sister that totally changed my world.She introduced me to AC/DC, Def Leppard, Van Halen and some others. Well my mom cool as hell went and bought me my first LP’s You know Records The first ones I had were Van halens 1984, Quiet Riot’s Metal Health, Motley Crue’s Shout at the devil, Def Leppards Pyromania and Twisted Sisters Stay Hungry,AC/DC’s Back in Black and a compilation called Masters of Metal!! I was hooked!! As time went on I discovered the first Crue album other AC/DC albums Etc.etc Then in 5th grade or so I heard My very first Anthrax and fell in love all over again,Also about that time I heard M.O.D., S.O.D. Metallica, And the all mighty SLAYER!! Thrash Metal stole my heart! I couldn’t believe how heavy it was I couldn’t get enough!! Also around that time Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy/Sabbath graced my ears & I loved it all! My step brother Around that time was turning me on to the classics like The Doobie Bros., Clapton, Styx, Little Feat etc.He also took me to 2 of my first concerts which was Tom Petty with The legendary Bob Dylan very cool and Little Feat which I happened to catch a drum stick that broke in half my first Momento!!! Then One day I stumbled upon Sepultura’s Beneath the Remains!!!! OH MY GOD!!!It was the heaviest music I had ever heard! Once again I fell in love!!! My life has always revolved around music the heavier the better.My first heavy metal show was The Clash of the Titans with SLAYER,Megadeth and Anthrax and some unknown band from Seattle called Alice in Chains I was 15!!! Countless shows have followed. I’ve been to shows from Phoenix AZ. to Memphis Tenn.
  While living in Phoenix Az I worked at Pizza Hut and one day while the store was empty mid afternoon It was Me my Roommate and our manager the only ones there and This Guy walked in with his girlfriend to eat lunch. Now mind you SLAYER is my all time fav. band Well this guy sat down and when I looked at him I froze! He sure looked like Kerry King from Slayer!!I went and told my roommate and he came out to see what I was freaking out about and sure as Hell it was Kerry King in my Pizza Hut!!!!! After I composed myself I very calmly went up to his table and asked ” You’re Kerry King HUH!” Kind of suprised he said Yeah and all I could say was DUDE SLAYER!!!! and then I asked him for his autograph,I appologized for interupting his lunch which he didn’t seem to mind and that was my first autograph from him! Also around that time I joined my first band! We were awfull but we had fun Istarted playing drums first then discovered I could Growl and scream better than I could play drums then Last but not least I started playing guitar!! Now in my adult years Music is still as much a part of my life as ever!! I have been to countless concerts and Most of them I usually somehow get back stage and meet the bands I’ve got picks autographs drum sticks Posters shirts most of all of them are autographed! I saw Pantera In Little Rock where I had the Honor and Pleasure of meeting Dimebag Darrell Abbott (R.I.P) He was being rushed along by an assistant Who kept saying NO MORE AUTOGRAPHS DIMES GOT TO GO and I ran up and asked him Hey man I know you gotta go but can I get a quick autograph and true to character Dimebag stopped ignored his assistant and said Sure Man NO PROBLEM he asked if we enjoyed the show Of course we did and Shook our hands and then said I GUESS I ‘ve GoTTA GO Later dudes!!VERY VERY COOL DUDE!! Then in Memphis we went to see Damage Plan and Hate Breed but There was an emergency with Dime bags family so Damage Plan didn’t play but Hate breed stepped up and covered for them and after that show we were hanging out out behind the club when we saw Sean Martin Guitar player for HateBreed I asked if he wanted to partake in some extra ciricular activities and he said sure and told us to come with him and took us behind the scenes he said we couldn’t go on the bus but that was ok so we hung out with him for quite a while another very cool dude!!! There are so many stories I could tell about all the Musicians I’ve had the pleasure to meet and hang out with briefly and talk to I could go on forever! Now I have a daughter She’s 8 years old and loves music too! She already knows how to keep a beat on the drums she can sing pretty good but getting better she plays piano by ear and next she wants to learn guitar!! Very cool!!! I love it!! Sorry this was so long but it’s not easy taking a life time of memories and trying to sum them up in a couple of paragraphs any ways hope you enjoyed my story!!!! Thanks alot Jason

  A recent memory sticks out- having moved from the west coast to the Lexinton, Kentucky area in February 2007, we were driving along the scenic bluegrass route as it started snowing. The first song we hear on the radio was Tupac Shakur “California,” which we thought so incongruous to the setting -we blasted it up of course -through all the dips and turns on the roads, the song augmented the scenery somehow beautifully!

I got a scholarship for football and the girl I was trying to impress by turning out for the choir got a scholarship for music. We went to college together and got married. we were all winners.
