Seems very ambitious to book this at the Crypt. Much more appropriate for the Greek. Guess it would have gone to Fivepoint if it were still up and running.
As for worst tour, I think Live/STP/Soul Asylum gets my vote over this.

Re: ONE album since 2000
Damn good answer, Ralph (although I might prefer "We Sweat Blood" by a hair). The Darkness' "Permission To Land" is a worthy candidate, but if my house was on fire and I could only snag one album on the way out the door (a silly analogy since I could always just re-buy, but ignor...

Re: MORC 2024 ... A few notable changes happened this past few days, starting with TNT cancelling due to a VISA issue.
I call bullshit on TNT, as you don't need a work visa to perform in int'l waters. Not sure why they'd single out Ronni as well, as even if they did apply for a visa, all of a group's members would have been listed on the same application (meaning, it's an all-for-one / one-for-all kind of situation)...

Re: Dream Theater!
Images and Metropolis Pt. II are the consensus classics. After that, it's a matter of personal preference. Some of their albums are more metallic, others more progressive. Me, I prefer progressive metal over metallic prog, so I adore Train of Thought, their heaviest album. I didn't care for Systemat...

Re: DUFF MCKAGAN Defends GUNS N' ROSES' Three-And-A-Half-Hour Live Performances: 'What Songs Do You Take Out?'
On one hand, it’s fucking awesome that, in an age where it can easily cost $100 to see a show, there’s a band who plays all night and gives fans their money’s worth, at least in terms of songs per dollar. On the other, there’s a spectacular lack of self-awareness regarding the pacing of the show and...

Bailed out of Power Trip to head to Vegas to see this since the tour played L.A. on Friday and I couldn’t be in two places at once. If The Darkness were American, I’d call them a national treasure. International treasure doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, but it’s good enough. I know they play ...

The “pit” (open floor in front of the stage) is the prime place to watch. There are floor seats behi...

The main takeaway that the venues are making more than the bands is accurate (in the micro, at least). There are two types of shows when it comes to merch -- "artist vends" (where the band's own tour merch rep mans, or at least oversees, the merch sales him/herself) and "venue-sells&q...

Priest definitely fits aesthetically, but they’re also a downgrade compared to Ozzy. The model seemed to be one stadium band, one arena band. Priest is neither. Regardless, I wish they’d be on the same day as Maiden and that Axl and Ac/DC were on the same day. Outside of RRHOF, this will surely be P...
