  So what Rock Bands (or any other groups) did you miss out on seeing back in the 60's, 70's, 80's, due to being in the organization?

  Who of you sneeked to a concert, and which groups were they?

  C'mon...you know you wanted to see Led Zepplin!

  Zeppelin was a little before my time(would've loved to see them in their prime though). I did have a chance to go to a Metallica concert in 91 though. I passed on it at the time. What was I thinking.

  INXS - the Original Sin concert was obviously going to be either anti religious or about sex.

  Went to see Van Halen, Robert Plant, and Metallica towards the end of my JW days....never missed a concert due to JW pressure. A workmate and friend of mine however was raised in the WCOG and could not go to a Depeche Mode concert because it was on Saturday, the sabbath. I recall how disappointed she was about not going.

  I saw only one concert in my life and I did it by defying the elders and my entire family. I can't even begin to tell you what I missed in my life. I am 20 years behind in everything when it comes to music. I know plenty of others though, that didn't miss anything.

  I snuck with some JW friends and saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg in concert a couple of years ago.

  Best show ever. The concert wasn't amazing, but the rebellion was beautiful.

  I really wanted to see Journey back in about '82 or '83. I also really wanted to see Van Halen (the Roth days) back then. And Rush, but my mom heard that rush was a gay thing and that it stood for rules under satans hand.
