OT - Of interest to metalheads only (and Kingston Trio fans)

Ozzy!? - hahahaha, not even close

Glenn Tipton - right instrument, wrong band, and that's his real name.

I'll have to dig out my 1980s Priest tour program that I got Glenn and the rest of the band to sign...

Hint - the band name is written on the guest list...



The Cliff Burton era Metallica put lots of effort into living up to the well earned nickname "Alcoholica".

The first time I was at the Aragon was for the Venom / Slayer / Exodus show on April 5, 1985. Yesterday I talked to a buddy of mine who I met at that show.

Had a beer once with Cliff Burton on the RTL tour.

Testament is one of my all time favorites. Saw them on Slayer's last tour here in Nashville 2 years ago, they were awesome! New album releases this Friday, sounds amazing from what I've heard so far.

The Devo list bought back some memories. Saw them Halloween in 1982. Some other stubs from my first concert Kiss Nassau Coliseum Feb 1977 to Amnesty international 1986. THE Clash, Ramones, Talking Heads New years eve 1978, MC5, Marshall Tucker, Bob Dylan, Bad Company, Black Sabbath ( opening act was Van Halen) Bruce Springsteen 10th row 8/78. Background Lou Reed Auto from Mannys Music World. He sat there jamming Sweet Jane for about 45 minutes testing amps.
Then Who Stubs from the 42 Times I saw them Canada ,UK, and 17 States. From 79 to 82.
Buttons From Led Zepplin Saturday June 1977, Bowie 78 And Bruce 78.
And although I dont agree with his politics. I was a big Ted Nugent fan saw him Capital theatre and MSG in 1977 Spectrum in Philly 78 and MSG in 79 AC/DC was opening act.
Best Club show I ever saw was Gang of 4, Black Flag and REM at Roseland Ballroom in 1981. 1981 I also saw U2at Palladium in NY.
Seems like 5 lifetimes ago... but were good times

Amazing stuff!

Me and Ted don't agree about politics, but Uncle Ted still rocks!

[bigfanNY]

NICE.. yes he Rocks I have to say that from 1977 ( he had just released Cat Scratch Feaver) to 1979. Ted went through some changes. Band with Derek St. Holmes singing and Ted focused soley on guitar. Ted was tight. By 1979 he was out front wearing a tarzan outfit swinging from the rafters. As I mentioned AC/DC opened and frankly blew Ted Away which would not have happened in 77.
Madison Square Garden 1977. Great show Unfortunately between when show anounced and date of show Airplane crash took away American Treasure.
1979 Alvin Lee at local college gym.
By the way love the autographed Nugent stub...

I saw Accept open for Saxon a couple times in in April 1984, and got Udo to sign my t-shirt when I jumped onto their tour bus after somebody left the door open.

Metal Church! I'll have to dig out my pictures from the shows they did with Slayer in Jun of 1984 at the Mountaineers Club in Seattle (with Wild Dogs) and Rock Palace in Portland. They had only played a few live shows prior to that. Amazing. I saw them various other times, but the show noted on the ticket below is QUITE famous, for reasons that will be our next trivia question, why is it famous?

Testament. I met my wife at the first show of their tour with D.R.I. supporting on Oct 30, 1992 at the Ventura Theater in (surprise) Ventura, CA. If you are up on your Testament / Legacy trivia, that's the show where the drummer bailed after soundcheck, and nobody noticed until just before it was time for them to go on stage. Various roadies and fans tried to cover for him, and generally failed.
