I&W era for me. Shortly before Christmas break (1992) of my sophomore year of college, I stayed in for a Saturday night of drinking games with friends. Headbanger's Ball was on in the background when the video for "Pull Me Under" came on. The second the drums started, we all kinda paused to check out what video was on. By the end of the song, my one buddy of mine and I were sitting there with our mouths agape, kinda like "What the fuck was that?!?" I was home a week later and bought I&W on my own, not waiting for Christmas.
Sadly, after going to 2 concerts in all of 1993, I'd have to wait for Awake before I saw them live. But, then, in the next 14 months after Awake was released, I'd see them touring that album and ACOS and at one of their Home For The Holidays shows. Those first few years were awesome! I got to see them at least once every year up until 2001 when they didn't tour at all.
