A companion, if you will, playlist has shown up on Spotify and YouTube Music and is absolutely amazing.

The two MCA albums helped get him back on stage and in the press but didn't sell particularly well and aside from Heavy Metal Mania and Z-Rock didn't really do much at tv and radio. Trash got the mainstream airplay and got Alice his first Platinum since WTMN. "Poison" is still on regular A...

I've seen them as direct support and that seems to be a place where they can shine. 55 minutes of all hits and they pretty much win the crowd over. Couldn't imagine a 75 minute headline set from them.

Metallica playing "Johnny Blade" was my personal favorite of the day. Wowza. Did not see that one coming.

For a more comedic look at the AT, check out A Walk in the Woods.

Not necessarily a "hair band" but Little Caesaer opening for KISS in 1990 comes to mind. For whatever reason, Winger couldn't do a few shows in the midwest and they moved Slaughter up to direct support and had Little Ceaser has special guests. They were 100x better than Slaugher for whatev...

To me and my high school buddies at the time it was a big deal. Why? Do you remember the interviews in magazines like Circus or Hit Parader at the time? Wouldn't it have been cool if they had written some songs together? I don't even remember how we found out. I'd guess it would have been the magaz...

They tried to make it a big deal... but that album blew. Yes, it was weird that he did not play on the next album, after the tour The other thing to consider back then was that Black Sabbath was sooooo far gone from the collective mainstream interest that it wouldnt have mattered if Ozzy had hired ...

I can't believe it's 2025 and the Stanley Cup is on friggin' TNT.

I think most dudes lose interest in bands once they start getting laid.

Dates very quietly continue to be added to this tour... Maybe it's the surprise hit of the year.

Dave was the best of all time when he was on NBC. When he moved to CBS the whole vibe changed, and it just wasn't the same. It might have been after 10 years it was going to change anyways, but I never got into it after he left NBC. He was trying too hard to be the next Carson. He kept doing some o...

Of those options, it's probably Jimmy Fallon, although his show is generally more fun that Seth Meyers. However, the worst late night host from that time period is James Corden, and it's not remotely close. Corden is as fun as a wet sock, and he's a smug prick to boot. How they went from one of the...

Post Letterman/Ferguson, it is really bleak out there, isn't it?
Also, hard to believe that at one time I'd turn on NBC and get to watch Carson then Letterman followed by Costas.

I like Time: The Beginning and Time: The End as well. I think both of those get ignored due to the album's reputation and not being singles. Those would be other two I dig. Maybe "Prince of Darkness." "Crush 'Em" was absolutely embarrassing. I think they thought they had themsel...

"Breadline" was one of the best radio friendly tracks they ever wrote. I don't have a problem with CommercialDeth, Cryptic Writings was fine. The problem with Risk wasn't that it was too commercial, it was just that most of the album sucks.

Caught the show this week and it was fantastic. I didn't really expect it to be that damned good. When I saw these guys in the 90s I always walked away thinking they were really, really good but I never left shell-shocked or slack-jawed or anything. Maybe it was the siren call of nostalgia? Maybe it...

They're all rather short. I'm a whopping 5'7" and they are all shorter than me. Spitz was especially short.

Great album from start to finish. Like the way Alive II pairs well with Alive! 9 Tonight goes quite well with Live Bullet.

What the hell did i just watch!?

Walkups for some of these shows will be significant. Outdoors in the midwest in October is a crap shot. Could be 80, could be 18.

1) Sirius has gotten much better in recent times expanding their playlists. 2) With so many channels, genres and sub genres I always find something to listen to. And when you are listening to something other than your favorite channels, it's good to hear something while familiar but you aren't burn...

The bullshit is ads. Sirius XM for hundreds of commercial free and static free channels of every genre & sub-genre and Amazon Music for listening to specific albums or songs and podcasts on demand. Do you churn your own butter while you listen to crackley old ass AM radio signals waiting for yo...

what's the over/under on this tour? If live nation was more confident, they would have done a full summer shed run and not 22 fall tour dates I'd think. I think this was already covered. No one was sitting in an office going "you know what the US needs!? Priest and Alice in sheds!" This t...

Megadeth had a real nice run on Capital Records and were bonafide arena headliners at a couple different points. Just in my little slice of paradise, they played places like the Cincinnati Gardens, Huntington Civic Center, Columbus Veterans Memorial, Hara Arena and Rhodes Arena on the regular for pr...

Me. Everyday. At home and in the car. AM & FM. Fuck Spotify, fuck Apple, fuck all that bullshit. The bullshit is ads. Sirius XM for hundreds of commercial free and static free channels of every genre & sub-genre and Amazon Music for listening to specific albums or songs and podcasts on dema...

My last local rock station (which was an independent station mostly of the “alternative” format) went out of business the last year, after about a decade of drama over selling and then leasing the signal, lease renewals, etc. for a good 20-25 years they were a very strong local presence with their ...

Pretty much. I just don't like messing with Spotify while I drive so I go through about 40 presets on Sirius. There is always something on. Whether it's music, news, or a ballgame, I can always find something.

It was his big comeback. Weird era as the last half dozen or so WB albums just vanished. Seems like you could still find WtmN and the AC Show but L&W - Dada disapeared like The ELder.

The wife and I have SiriusXM & Spotify in our rides but every once in while I have to dust off the 2004 Nissan Frontier for mulch, wood, an appliance, a blizzard...whatever. The AM oldies station is probably my go-to in there if not NPR. Commercial over-the-air radio is a joke.
