They did play 16k capacity Nassau Coliseum on the Firepower tour but yes looking at setlist.fm they seem to play some seriously small places in the US. Not ony venues but towns. Charles, MO? Corbin, KY? Southaven, MS? Never heard of those towns, and Corbin has a population that would fit into Wembl...

I know you explained it in the post, but my first response was "Who the fuck is Roy Cathey"?

I'm pretty sure I'm more familiar with those "cover" bands than I am Cold Sweat.

The given scenario of "feeling old because everyone is younger" hasn't really happened for me, or I haven't noticed it anyway.

However, I DID feel old when seeing Aerosmith and Slash back in 2014. That was an OLD crowd, and I felt old just being in it.

Off the top of my head, I'd go with Dogman, The Train, or Pray, but they're all fantastic. I think it depends on what you're in the mood for.

Eh, he moves around substantially better than a certain other singer for Judas Priest.

I saw Ace Von Johnson live last night

Ace did hold it down. Seemed to be fond of his bubble gum.

I think the only question to that is what I posted. The fact that he only has 13 dates all year is pretty crazy. Vince will book 13 dates in his sleep.

Went to the Arcada last night to see the show, hadn't been out there since last year when King's X came through. Ended up buying tickets last minute, and actually had to go the secondary market because it was completely sold out. Don't remember seeing that happening since WASP a few years ago, but o...

I don't know why he's announcing this now. He could've waiting until the end of the summer when his brain tumor comes back and the doctors force his to take the year off. Then the love of the fans gives him the strength to come back and do another 45 minute set. This seems like a contract demand in...

Here's the lead single from the last album with Richie. https://youtu.be/chXJFjrl-Q4?si=xBsqeIM9idLFchaO He left the band during the tour for this album...oddly enough. Mediocre solo for sure, but at least this song has some balls to it, some life. Richie admittedly has his issues, but he was the o...

As others have said, it's fine if you like Adult Contemporary Bruce Springsteen/John Mellencamp era Bon Jovi, which is almost everything going back to It's My Life. At least Jon doesn't look half past dead anymore, so hopefully he has recovered from whatever happened to him, but this should either b...

We must be watching a different video. Sounds fine. Specifically look at that scream around 1:44.

I was wondering if someone was going to post about that. He looks 15 years younger.

I had just caught the end of the interview but apparently Bumblefoot leaked the new Slipknot drummer’s name. I know most people are assuming it’s the badass from Sepultura but I guess they let it slip. Eddie sounded a little concerned afterwards. lol. Is that why Sepultura is doing this retirement ...

Good fit for Ellefson, because I'm sure no one in Latin America gives a shit about what went down.

Those aren't the BIG sheds. Chastain Park only holds about 7K. Atlanta also has Alpharetta at 12K, and Lakewood at 19K.

I could see Slash at least hitting half that with the right promotion.

I wanted to go see them last weekend in St. Charles, but after watching a few videos from last year, I just couldn't do it. Don just doesn't have it anymore, and since the only other band on the bill was someone I've never heard of (Fuzzard?), I couldn't justify the ticket and the hour and a half ro...

Based on what I saw of Amber Wild, he's a solid guitarist...he just shouldn't be near a mic. And I don't think there's any shame in that, not everyone can be a front man, regardless of who your Dad is.

I would absolutely go see it, however, they'd NEVER do it. You're not getting gold toilets on the rider and playing: Speedy's Coming Top of the Bill Life's Like a River In Trance Pictured Life Catch Your Train Virgin Killer The Sails of Charon Steamrock Fever We'll Burn the Sky ...now that I think a...

I wonder if they're just throwing him a bone or if that means they are going to start transitioning away from Tipton being a "member"?

Looks similar to the Whitesnake Boxed Sets Coverdale has been putting out the last few years. Seems like everyone is emptying out the closets for content. Not saying that's a bad thing, but 100 bucks is way too high for this, especially when those Whitesnake sets go for between 60 and 80, depending ...

Hamas, the de facto government of Gaza, attacked Israel, just as Japan attacked the USA. Why is one genocide and the other a just war? Traditionally, a war is between two military powers. I don't see a military in Palestine. But what I do see is a bunch of innocent people getting killed in a blood ...

Are you guys disgusted by the American genocide of the Japanese in WWII? You're going to have to be a lot more specific, because if that's some sort of comment about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it's not just apples and oranges, it's apples and watermelons. The Japanese started that war, (and had been k...

It's striking how good some of these songs are....and how bad a singer Ace is. Say whatever you will about Paul Stanley live, but he would never lay down a track that sounded like this in the studio.

I called this in the other thread: Kerry was in for a rude awakening trying to take a solo project on the road. No way he'd keep all those talented guys on the road together paying them Kerry King Band wages. Occasional Slayer-sized cash infusions will help. Just read this in the blabbermouth comme...

KK's band will likely be on the back burner now. Yeah, all the guys who just finished that album and were excited to go on tour and make money are prolly all now like ".........fuck." Gary Holt has got to be happy though. Should be two nice little paychecks for him, and maybe more in the ...

Money talks.
Boredom builds up over time.
Tom wanted to spend more time with his wife and kids. After 5 years, he's probably sick of them.

Well, sure, it's just weird to have this announced RIGHT after Kerry finally got his solo thing going.

What a bizarre situation. Did Tom decide, "well, if Kerry and Paul are playing, I might as well get paid, too."? Makes me wonder if they'll stick to Slayer for festivals after this to get a bigger payday, and Kerry will do touring with his solo band.

Eh, he sounds like Zakk. I actually liked his bit, it was a nice contrast to everyone else being super clean.
