[Igifuno]

Sevendust a lot yesterday and today.

Oh, and Chris Adler isn't with Megadeath anymore.

Just spent a little time on I-tunes and downloaded some old stuff from Slipknot and Megadeth that I didn't have. And please don't flame me too badly, but some Motley Crue - but I really dig some of their guitar riffs.

No flaming on anything here man. It's all good. Used to love crue. Nikki Sixx has a cool band Sixx AM

[Proximal]

Yeah, hear them every so often on Octane, nice!

Went old school blues/stoner rock for lifting early this morning. At around 4 a.m.-ish, way out in very rural SC, I'm down in my shop pushing through a chest session; sometimes life is just plain good.

Not really impressed with the Prophets of Rage song, "Prophets of Rage". It just did't grab me, disappointed.

Plus, they rescheduled the Slipknot concert (due to Cory's neck) to an upcoming Sunday night - the night before the return to the first day of school ! Simply no way can I enjoy that now, have to get a refund for my tickets or give them away.

[Igifuno]

New dozen.

[Igifuno]

Just got my Gojira tix for September. Gonna be awesome.

[Proximal]

Congrats! Just got my refund for Slipknot - happy about getting the $ back, but bummed I'm missing the show.

It was a bad ass show. Pretty rough and heavy. Just picked up Offspring and Skillet/Devour the Day tix for Sept/Oct as well old offspring fan from the 90s, Skillet is ok but I really like DTD.

Another one I like but need to listen to more often:

Heard some new Korn today - sweet! Also, have a weird appreciation for certain Ice-T and Bodycount songs. Have been listening to "Talk Shit, get shot" over and over non-stop.

Hell yeah. Saw Body Count at Mayhem a couple years back and they slayed.

The makeup and theatrics kind of remind me of the old King Diamond stuff, but I like the sound of this and the retro looking scenery.

Really like these guys as well. They remind me of kind of a modern System of a Down.

Not metal but a great OLD song that somehow I've never heard before. Give it a listen. Long one....

Definitely a good tune, enjoyed that. Never heard it before either. Cure has some great old punk stuff as well.

Kel, have to tell you - Cheap Trick has a real special place in my rock & roll heart. I grew up in the midwest, I started to see these guys just as they emerged from playing bars and local clubs in the late 70's. Now I've seen them live more than any band out there. Plus if you guys wish, I can tell you my Gene Simmons story that I have while I saw them play in Los Angeles a decade or so ago.

Cheap Trick was just inducted into the Rock & Roll hall of fame, they were monsters when they played night - they are simply one of the best live bands out there. Can't speak any more highly of them.

Jesus Kel, you've got monster muscles, paper-thin skin AND you've got awesome taste in music? You've got it all big guy

Love to hear the story Prox. When I was young there was a particular bar I frequented (way too much) where many of the bands that were playing in the larger Phila arena's would come to on off nights and play. It was great. Saw sooo many great bands such as:

Hall and Oats
George Thorogood (he's actually from the area)
Pat Benatar
Allman Brothers
David Clayton Thomas (without Blood Sweat and Tears) and regarding him, I've never to this day heard a voice as impressive in person.
Metallica

And many, many more

Thorogood and the Destroyers. Man that brings back memories. . Saw Pat Travers band years ago at Clemson University in Tillman Hall, which is relatively small. The hearing in my good ear was wrecked for a couple of days. Good times.

Life of Agony for the ride into the city.

X2 on the Gene Simmons story, Prox. Let's hear it!

Saw all in concert - George Thorogood & the Del. Destroyers great show... Saw him a few times when I lived back East - very close to home as well

Allman Bro's.... Such a great band and great bluesy riffs

Metallica w/Godsmack was badass!

True story: At a Cheap Trick show at the House of Blues on Sunset strip, I'm thinking mid 90's. My wife and I are sitting at the bar, I have a beer in one hand and my other arm was around her shoulder.

Just then Gene Simmons starts to walk right in front of us.

I turn to my wife to tell her, so she'll notice and I subconsciously needed to point to him. Both arms were being used, so for what-ever reason I lifted my leg to point with my knee (go-figure) - yep, I kneed Genes Simmons right in the balls.

Wasn't too hard, but enough for him to turn and give me a WTF look.

Thanks for listening.
