My latest find: Scream Maker, "Perpetual Burning." Reminds me of Primal Fear.

She's in her late 70s as well. I'm sure she has given that up.

Wonder now if this will finally spark a divorce. She and Vince have been effectively separated for more than a decade but never bothered to make it official.

Re: Vince McMahon

Judging by some recent videos, Vince has a pretty serious Biden problem. The steroids finally ate his brain. He may be found incompetent to stand trial.

Laurinitas, though, is fucked bad.

Re: Bands ages when debuting

I saw a video on TikTok that noted among hair metal/glam bands, the only musician who was a legit Gen Xer was Sebastian. All the others were born before 1965. And not glam, but it still blows me away that Gene Hoglan was 18 years old when he did "Darkness Descends." Tops even Lombardo bein...

Same. And when I read Neil came out from the kit and joined his bandmates in taking a bow rather than run off like he always did, it was an "oh shit" moment of realization I'd made a big mistake.

Rush's farewell tour. I really didn't Peart was serious this time.

Nightwish in 2012 when they flew in Floor Jansen as an emergency replacement. They played HOB Anaheim and I didn't go.

Re: Now we know why Rush never returned to Japan

I wonder what Neil's excuse would have been for never playing in Australia and New Zealand? Can't think of very many bands at the level of Rush who never did so much as promo or festival dates in Oceania. 18 hours of white knuckle flight there and back. He's not unique.

Now we know why Rush never returned to Japan

The revelations keep coming from Geddy Lee's book. It turns out Neil had a significant fear of flying and simply hid it from his bandmates on their many trips to Europe. He managed to get over it in 1984 for a trip to Japan that would prove the last time the band played there. For the longest time, ...

Re: Another band announces a farewell tour....

I don't buy it. They're too young. I think this is all a ruse, they're going to go away for a bit, ala Motley Crue, and then come back with a reunion of just the original four guys, since Steve is good with playing drums again. Whidbey is lucky to be alive. I can imagine he's pretty broken down by ...

Re: Any Dødheimsgard fans?

I checked out the second place album by Hellripper (what a stupid name) and holy shit this is awesome. Old school thrash by a one-man show, a Scottish dude who is an oddball in that he's cleanshaven and ink-free and plays all the instruments. Could do without the black metal style vocals but that's ...

That was badass, and those detuner things he had on the tuning pegs were badass, too. I've never seen those before. I have.

I really can't believe that people are just hearing about Shinedown now for the first time in this thread. This is a band that has been around for more than 20 years, has multiple platinum albums, and has headlined arenas for at least the past decade. Are you really that caught up in an 80s bubble? ...

Why is Shinedown's 'The Sound of Madness' charting on iTunes?

A 16 year old song by a band ignored by the industry is at #13 on the iTunes charts. Any idea why? I figure a popular show used it, like when Stranger Things used 'Running up That Hill' and the song got a brief pop.

Re: Any Dødheimsgard fans?

The Metal Archives skews heavily to obscure and fringe metal. I mean, look at their top 10:

Dødheimsgard
Hellripper
Malokarpatan
Cattle Decapitation
Dying Fetus
Sacred Outcry
Moonlight Sorcery
Panopticon
Cirith Ungol
Overkill

Overkill is the only recognizable band on the list.

I can't remember the last departure that was met with so much approval. His talent was totally wasted.

But hey, now he and the CEO are free to work on their death metal project, amirite?
