I'll be at the Metal Allegiance show, should be a good one!

I've never been to NAMM, I know a guy who knows a guy, but not much interest going except for the Riot Stitch catwalk, that looks awesome!!

Removed the Morrison/Navarro show that was postponed and added Ultimate Jam Night. Still slim pickings!

Thursday- that guitar player from Rage Against The Machine..Tom something and Alice Cooper girl guitar player are doing a show in Anaheim at place i have not been at in decades..the Chain Reaction place..I think. Tickets were 22$

Going be fun I think or not. It’s some Wildfire fund show
I guess we are helping Paris Hilton get a new beach crib? Perhaps

Thanks, added above.

Grand Theatre 24th in Anaheim is paying the ransom to have LA Gums with Ace Von Johnson(in the band )
Grab those tickets!!!
You also get to see people wear those NAMM badges with PRIDE ..OMG
What a night!!

You can tell the NAMM Night Life is slowly dying. These shows all suck.

getting stoked for tomorrow!!

How did the “legendary “ West Bound show tonight not make The List ..legend sighting

I missed London at the Whiskey Saturday night ... there is a blast from the waaay past! Who is in that band now?? Doors 5:30, headliner 11:30 (guessing), 7 bands opening including a SPYDER tribute!!

Be sure to get the foot long so you have enough for Nikki.

Kinda wanna see LA Guns but not motivated to go to Anaheim

I’m going give Nikki the large Philly Cheesesteak with the chips and large drink

I’m getting large ham sandwich- ham comes from a pig correct? Or 3 little pigs..good time for this while watching Rhea

Is Anaheim worth the road trip- I get it it’s to see Ace Von Johnson but I doubt Crystal Eyes is in the set

Green Jello going play Fred Flinstone song for sure
They got me believing Jey going win#yeet

Rage guitar guy was fun show..unique sound always..always been a fan…saw Battle of LA tour at Forum…cool to see legend in small place of 200 or so.:.same show as Aftershock show I saw…he sounds great just as good as Rage singer…he brought the fun….he used go to Metal Skool at Key Club a lot just to hang out and sometimes get on stage..

He is fan of music good for him..didn’t see one hot girl at the show except for the Hawaiian guitar girl form IG she got like near million followers…

The Alice Cooper girl was way better than last time i saw her solo show…first time I saw her was like 2 decades ago at Whisky for her band Lia Fail

Jersey Mikes is really great quality food..Subway is Bowling For Soup quality complete garbage…. Stripper (female ) pussy around the 3:30 am
Going be fun and interesting what happens to Mr Yeet tomorrow in San Antonio

* West Bound review will be worth the wait..whenever that happens…maybe that’s Metal Sludge exclusive from that Gerry dude(hope)

NAMM 2025 is an amazing line up..NAMM-Mania - NOW THEN FOREVER TOGETHER

Anyone witness the Patrick Kennison performance?

Did see 'Falling Doves' at The Parish in middle of the Metal Allegiance show. Bass player chick gave us tickets so we hopped over to the Parish for a few songs, that was fun. I think we missed Metallica bass player dude when we did that though

HOB security didn't like that we left main building and didn't want to let us back in, had to resort to 'you need to talk to your manager' type shenanigans to get back in, that was fun too!

Metal Allegiance killed it! Not sure how Portnoy dude can drum like that night after night approaching 60!!

Pinion Hills going be 39* with winter storm wind ..Green Jello fans are the best
Hope show is outside

NAMM 3 Little Pigs show going be Main Event of the week

No review from Iron Maidens /Ghost tribute yet.. from Saint Rocke show last night near the beach?
Why not? Ghost tribute should be respected ..it’s Ghost…GhostMania will live forever

44mph wind expected at my destination tonight
Ghost life= always exciting
Iron Maiden life = boringASS PlayStation 5 garbage excitement

Good luck tonight Jey#yeet

Saw the Observatory show last night.

Nita's a star, but her solo band felt kind of low-rent -- her husband on drums, no bassist, a female keyboardist with comically large boobs (no objections, just seemed kind of strange to be shown off to that extent), and a guest vocalist who looked like a bum.

Marty's band had some sort of immigration/visa snafu coming in from Japan, so he was forced to play to backing tracks/stems a la a guitar clinic -- but even though it was clearly awkward for him, he pulled it off. Respect for not canceling.

John 5 wasn't my thing, although he can clearly play. Unlike Marty, he played to tracks by choice, as it was just him and a drummer (until his tech strapped on a bass and joined in for the inevitable medley of Motley riffs).

Spent a few hours at the convention center today. It's still sensory overload, but nowhere near the overwhelming mass of humanity that it used to be pre-COVID.
