WOW! You all have been busy while I was gone!
Nik- hope you are feeling OK & keepin' the brain where it belongs!
Surgery was yesterday. I just have stitches, not staples...a few in my spine, some in my side, and some in my belly. I'm still in the hospital at the moment, but they'll be releasing me later today. I don't feel bad at all, just a little sore. They've been giving me fentanyl, so that may have something to do with it. I am now seriously considering LoG, Gwar, JfaC on Wednesday. I may have stitches, but I don't feel that bad, and I'm a trooper!
ALERT! ALERT!
Just got an e-mail from Ticketmaster w/ a presale code for ROB ZOMBIE!!!!! Snagged my tix early!
Check to see if he will be in your area!

He's not coming to this side of the damn state. My kids love him too. And I consider him my future husband.

Just saw him with my then 9 year old son when he was on tour with Ozzy last year. And I've seen him before with Godsmack and a few times (?) on Ozzfest. I'm not as good as Metalis4ever at remembering how many times I've seen a particular artist.
LOL
But seriously Slipknot aren't metal and it is a disgrace to American Metal that some people consider them as such. Quite honestly it's embarrassing which is why I am glad there are finally some New American Metal bands that are picking up the flag of hatred dropped somewhere along the lines in the mid to late 90's. Bands such as Lamb of God, Skeletonwitch, Warbringer, Job for a Cowboy, Mastodon, High on Fire along with many others are helping to bring credibility back to the American Metal scene that for the most part had fizzled out for a few years.
That's cool that you were able to get Zombie tickets I haven't seen him since the 90's I think the last time I saw him was either 1999 or 200 and it was Fear Factory, Monster Magnet and Rob Zombie which was a pretty solid show. Have a great time!!!!! Who is opening for him?
I have to admit...I do like some of the Slipknot songs. People = Sh..., Before I forget, and Psychosocial are a few that come to mind. A lot of them get on my nerves though. I can't stand that song Vermilion.
I like Job for a Cowboy- they were supposed to open for LOG, but then it was changed. I am just getting into Devildriver too. Do you like?
I was PO'd b/c I wanted to see Soulfly- but their tour seems to be limited- and NJ/PA is not one of their stops
This is odd b/c I checked the info about Rob and it says
Dont miss the sooktacular show with special guests (Captain Clegg) and Nekromantix. Who is Captain Clegg?? They look to be fictional

Who knows wth Rob!
OMG! The last time I saw Rob was with WHITE Zombie in '96, I think. He was with Pantera!!!
I will be smuggling my camera in the place for this show! That is for sure!
Me likey Devildriver!! Saw them on Ozzfest too. Damn, I miss Ozzfest. That was a good tour for seeing a LOT of good (and bad) bands. I doubt I could name everyone I've seen on the Ozzfest tours.
You better be smuggling in a camera! And take some pictures of my hot man!
Mastodon and Dethklok are coming to Philly on 11/1, so I'm thinking about hitting that show. High on Fire (a big plus) is supporting, as well as Converge.
I've seen Mastodon live a few times, but what really interests me is seeing Dethklok live. Is this wrong? I believe Gene Hoglan and Zappa proteges Mike Keneally and Bryan Beller will be playing in the live incarnation, who are all great musicians. And from what I've seen on YouTube, Brendon Small, the Metalocalypse creator, is no slouch on guitar either.
I don't know how the crowd will receive them. But I have a feeling the metal fans already know about Dethklok, and as long as they know it's all in fun, it could be a killer show.
I am seriously on the wrong side of the state. NOBODY is coming to Pittsburgh. If any of you find any concerts in the Pittsburgh area PLEASE let me know. I don't always keep on top of that stuff. I have also been known to travel to the DC/Northern VA area for concerts. I actually ended up getting myself on the Kiss Rock the Nation DVD that was filmed there about 5 years ago. THEY are not coming to Pittsburgh on their tour either. And their tour stop in DC is the Verizon center, which has terrible acoustics. I'm still contemplating coming back to Cleveland next week for the show here.
Oh, and I really like Deathklok. Liked them even before they were made a little more famous by Guitar Hero.
Seeing as how it's next door to the Aerosmith coaster, I'm hoping for a Dethklok tie-in for the Tower of Terror.

Yeah, I don't see that happening.
Band question for you all..............
Anyone ever hear of Between the Buried and Me?
I am listening to them now and I cannot say much for the vocals, but OMG- the guitars are frickin' awesome!
Any info?

Saw them on Ozzfest too. Was a little under the influence, so I don't remember much. I'm pretty sure I met them in one of the tents.
Hi. I'm a little late to the game, but I like some metal!
My DH played in metal/ heavy bands for about 7 years and opened for some killer acts. Before I met him, my metal library consisted of Metallica and Manson, lol.
He was thinking about the Mastadon/ Deathklok show in our state, but decided on the Gwar/ Lamb of God show instead.
Hi there!
SSSSShhhhhhhhhhh!!!

{{whispers}}
We are not allowed to use the "S" word around here. Metal will go ballistic
Awww- I KID Metal!
I like their music.....................
My kid (my
pretend child b/c I do not want any kids) would be rockin' out to this as a baby and HE would be putting on hockey skates before he could walk. No soccer or baseball for my pretend son!
And this is why I love you!
Metal you (and Brock) will always be my metal gurus!!!! Anytime I ask a question- one of you is right there with a very thorough and precise answer!!!! Who the heck needs Google when I have you both!

..................Type O Negative are doing some shows!!!! Just got an e-mail from Ticketmaster and they are going to be at a club in PA-
http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/742270?tm_link=edp_Artist_Name
But, sadly, I must miss it b/c I am going to Hatebreed/Lamb of God that night!!
Ain't that the truth. Those two know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING.
Damn again. Closest they are to me is the House of Blues in Cleveland. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to have to come to Cleveland that day so I can go. Sorry you are missing it.
ooooooooooooo- dissin' Joey and Zakk again

I know what you mean though- but sometimes, it's a girl thing. NOT too often, but it does happen. We are blinded by the good looks and our judgement goes as
kewwwww!
Now that I am older, I think I am pretty good at bypassing the looks and appreciating the good music, unlike the 80's, when it was all about looks.

If you can call them that
I think Joey is pretty good. I like Zakk too. But that's just me. I don't necessarily think a band that has 27 people in it should be considered "good" just because that many people can make a lot of noise. I used to HATE Slipknot, but since my kids have been listening to them, they've kind of grown on me. BLS...love them...even if they did throw stuff at Iron Maiden. Probably just trying to keep the peace with that witch Sharon.
Into every type of music, but Metal in general is my true calling.
Pantera, DOWN, Meshuggah, Vital Remains, Belphegor, Deicide, Ministry, Opeth, Strapping Young Lad (DEVIN!!!!!) Rammstein, I could list alot, but i'm not going to.
Overall, Metal is in my heart, and it always will be, even if I have to listen to some random songs from bands I HATE to listen to one song I love, i'll do it.
WOO! Deicide is some scary ****! I'm not sure that my ultra religious mom would approve of me listening to them...but I'm old and do it anyway. My kids love Rammstein and my 11 year old son recently asked me to take him to Germany to see them. Of course I said no.

But I'm trying to raise my kids right and not have them obsessing over crap like those whiny Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and American Idol. So far, it is working pretty well. My daughter seems to be easily influenced by the other little girls in her class, but I know she's just going along with them and she doesn't REALLY like that stuff. When she's at home, you would be surprised at the songs she'll put on. And I've caught her singing along to so much metal that I didn't even know she knew! It's so funny.
I'm sorry guys and girls. I'm babbling. The nurse was just in here and shot some of that Fentanyl into my IV. I'm floating and seriously under the influence right now. Makes me not want to leave the hospital!
