Concerts aren’t just about the music—they’re about the memories that stick with us for a lifetime. Whether it’s the first time stepping into a venue, the show that cemented our love for metal, or the craziest experience in the pit, every metalhead has their own concert stories.

So on this episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom dive into their own stories. From first shows with Fozzy and Daughtry, to the pivotal moments of seeing Stone Sour, Steel Panther, Trivium, and Arch Enemy, these shows helped shape their journey as metal fans. 

But not all memories are about the music—sometimes, it’s the unexpected encounters that leave a lasting mark. Like the time Collin met another metal influencer at a show in Kitchener, or when Tom had a bizarre run-in with a stranger at a release party in Toronto.

Join us as we relive the concerts that defined us, the bands that blew us away, and the moments we’ll never forget—no matter how weird they got.
