Re: Metallica "Fight Fire With Fire" Video from LA, 2023

Sounds pretty damn good to me, and nice and speedy (regardless if the numbers are accurate in the OP). Cool that they still bust out plenty of heavy old shit and can still play it with energy. Also, has Lars' kit gotten even smaller? It's the same config he's had since the mid-90s but the actual sca...

Re: Armored Saint’s “Punching The Sky” - my review

Great album. Cool that they finally got a chance to play some of it live last year when they were blowing WASP off the stage every night. Which brings up a question. They do tours like that once in awhile, and some festivals, but never seem to get on a "big" tour. For example, why wouldn't...

Re: I STILL Get The Feeling That Something's Wrong With This Picture

Actually the first thing I noticed was Wade Hayes, and was wondering why the original guitarist of Roxx Gang is now a country artist.

Different guy though.

Danny Spanos covered it before Hardline and it might be the best version.

Dokken portion of 1988 Monsters of Rock, so it was still in the day on a really hot day. Went with three friends, but we got separated after Metallica. Was next to a buddy of mine, and as Dokken started up, there was this girl in front of him (who we didn't know) and who seemed to be "feeling ...

Re: Old age aches and pain

Turned 43 in March. Been in physical therapy every other Monday for years treating 5 compressed discs in my neck (probably from football 25+ years ago), thoracic outlet syndrome, UV joint and rotator cuff problems. Used to get godawful migraines from all the above, though those have subsided for the...

Re: Megadeth is having a hard time moving tickets in Bloomington, IL

As for no Chicago date, that's not surprising. Lots of bands are avoiding Chicago like the plague, and rightfully so. It's a fucking mess there. Bands (at least some of the ones I'd go see) are playing the far northern burbs, or further downstate. I did see Travis Tritt in my hometown in Joliet las...

Re: Megadeth is having a hard time moving tickets in Bloomington, IL

The arena is about the right size for the bill, but that particular market isn't easy to tap into for metal fans. It's a double college town (Illinois State University - where I went, and Illinois Wesleyan University.) So you have this odd mix of tastes there. The locals are a lot of country & s...

Re: Skynyrd’s debut PRONOUNCED… released 50 years ago today: Where does this one rank for you?

I don't need to hear any of that shit again, ever Exactly. I only need to like one Southern Rock band and for the last decade it's been Blackberry Smoke. They may be a couple generations removed from Skynyrd but they do it it much better. One of my favorites. Great band that's been at it for 20+ ye...

Re: Skynyrd’s debut PRONOUNCED… released 50 years ago today: Where does this one rank for you?

One of their best albums and gets extra points for doing all THAT on their debut. Of course "Free Bird" gets all the love, and while it's a great song it has absolutely reached the overplayed levels of "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" and the like. Side One is a masterclas...

Re: Are current hair metal guys making 6 figures?

You can just about guarantee the Steel Panther guys are making six figures each...maybe even high six figures. For one, they've been at it a long time. They likely still make money off their records. Probably more off merch. And tons off touring...and they tour a LOT. Not little 10-date runs, but b...

Pretty far from rock/metal, but anyone remember this semi-recent tune, King of Everything from Boy George? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCNF3wPgqFc

I don't care what anyone says, this is a damn good song.
