Re: How freaked out are you about fentanyl ?

What do they put the fentanyl in? Just coke? Or also weed, and if so... Why? I'm not a drug user so I have no clue. I did just discover something called research chemicals though, which is legal here. From what I can see they slightly change the chemistry of a drug and then it is legal, but still m...

Re: stp or aic

AIC painfully bored me so much at the Hollywood Palladium in 1991 that I never got over it. Same for STP (1993), not boring but just terrible.

Nope. Always on a 16:8 fast every day. 3 square meals a day is a sure fire way to increase your BMI and weight once you hit your late 30’s going forward.

Re: How "at capacity" do venues need to be at to make $$$?

Last week I saw Extreme and Living Colour play in a really nice larger sized club - it probably held 1100 minimum and I’d say that there was maybe 500 there at best and that’s being generous. I’d assume that both bands have a decent guarantee so I’d also have guessed the promoter took a huge hit. T...

Re: How "at capacity" do venues need to be at to make $$$?

It depends how big of a drinking crowd is there. This is true. Clubs can get three openers to buy on and drag out the night so people will keep drinking so their buzz doesn't wear off when they headliner comes on at 10. I just avoid shit like this now. If I don't get an idea when the band I wanna s...

They don't have to "fill" anything.

All the major tours are booked, now they just have to fill in the gaps in the schedule and keep the beer flowing.

Re: Do you eat breakfast?

As the most important meal of the day at least twice.

Oatmeal with banana, blueberries, pecans and honey.

Was making an epic breakfast burrito around 3pm but lately sans tortilla. Filling enough that I can be out and about for evening activities and not tempted to spend $20 on dinner.

Re: Memories of REVENGE from an Italian KISS fanatic

Big drop off after Unholy. The singles are the only good songs.

Except for while the ballad "Every Time I Look at You" tugged at the heartstrings with an almost painful sincerity in how blatantly it ripped off More Than Words.

I rank this one even below Asylum.

Rock at the Spectrum

Who are some ROCKERS (rollers too) you suspect may have played at the Philadelphia Spectrum?

Bruce Springsteen for sure.

Maybe Skid Row but did they ever headline? Such a fine line between next big thing and someone to help sell beer and nachos.
