I remember seeing Marilyn Manson long before they made it big. Marilyn and Daisy opened up for a few bands and then came out and stood in the crowd behind me drinking beer and watching some of the next band.

I also saw Korn early on. I had no idea who they were and but went nuts when Jonathon Davis came out with the bagpipes to start Chutes and Ladders. I can still remember most of that concert. I was blown away. I went to the mall to buy their album the next day and nobody had heard of them. I had to wait almost another year before their debut album came out.

Another band I saw that really left an impression with me was at a club in chicago. They were the 2nd of 3 bands and they wheeled the lead singer out onto stage use a dolly and he was wearing a straight jacket and a Hannibal Lecter like restraint mask. The lead singers vocals absolutely blew me away. I'm not as big a Disturbed fan anymore, but was really impressed by their early shows.

I also saw the precursor to Godsmack prior to them making it big. I saw Sully Erna's first band Strip Mind and have 1 of about 50,00 copies of their only release. I thought they were pretty good, but obviously I was in the minority. So when Godsmack came out I was pretty psyched after I heard from my roommate that "the drummer from Strip Mind has a new band".

I saw the GWAR knock-off band Green Jell-o prior to them changing their name to Green Jelly and before they became a bit weel known with a few minor hits.

I know there are a few more, but can't remember them right now.
