I'd go from Breaker to Metal Heart, but RR is good too.

I've been to Gröna Lund, but what's the deal with the gigs there? Do they cost extra or are they free for who come to the amusement park? Most locals buy a season ticket for like SEK 400, then all gigs are included. But if you pay the regular entrance fee SEK 100 the show is included. But apparentl...

Live Nation is doing a crazy thing here in Europe, Journey and Heart are touring separately here at the same time. I'm not sure if either is big enough to sell arenas. It would have been common sense for them to tour together. Can't recall Journey playing anything but afternoon slots at festivals o...

When I saw the initial ads, I thought it was going to be Journey, Def Leppard, Steve Miller, Heart and Cheap Trick each night . Damn, that's a boomer festival that will sell out everywhere. Can't miss. When I saw that it was the 178th co-headline of DL & Journey w/ one of those 3 in each city, ...

All three TKO records are good.

It depends on the country. For example here there's no tipping culture. You can tip, but it's not expected at all. Workers earn well enough even without tips.

That's Keith Scott. One of my coworkers actually knows him.

Van Halen-- Big bad Bill
Crowded House-- Sister Madly
The Cure - Love cats

The only one I've watched completely must be Lust Detector, which was as much comedy as porn. But that was over 35 years ago.

Looks like it's 4/5 original members. Good gig.

Therapy- Nowhere

So true. If I don't have a seat, let's say at a club gig, I hate losing my spot.

I was going to ask where you quoted all that from but I'm guessing it's a Python sketch.

Yes.

Also, I used to work at Virgin Records, the label, not the store... and I can't tell you how much stuff they gave me, and I took even more. These labels give away endless product, and every time a guest would visit, they would say "Stevie, take them shopping..." which meant walk them into...

There are many bands I'd go and see if they came here. Very rarely I have travelled to see bands.
Some I'm seeing this year:
Journey
The Darkness
Heart
Pulp
Pixies (twice)
Ride
Therapy
Sleepy Sleepers

Over 3000.

This list is a little ridiculous. Primus? Body Count and Rage Against The Machine influenced a lot of nu metal bands, but I wouldn't call them that either.

After leaving those three out, it's Korn.

I very rarely need any of those at gigs. The last time I remember buying t-shirts or cds was at a Kraftwerk and Mentors gig.

Cast- Mother
Blind Melon- Mother
Luke Haines- Mother
Police- Mother
Pop Will Eat Itself- Mother
Red House Painters- Mother

That's just from my records, never mind the hundreds of variations.

Hear 'N Aid- Stars lp with autographs (some, not all)

Good band,but not good enough for getting bigger. Miss Mystery should have been a hit though.

Still pretty much the same as always: jeans, boots or trainers and t-shirt (yes, of own band or other).

Well, there's this one that came out last year: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29268092/ There was also an earlier one that was pulled, because MM didn't see eye to eye with the director and ended up suing him. Probably didn't suit the best-kept-secret-in-rock-n-roll narrative he's been desperately t...
