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

Alpine Valley was the best and I too was at one of those mud fests. Again as you mentioned this time too everyone was throwing mud at each other and the stage, well Marilyn Manson stopped mid-song and goes "are you guys here to see us or throw mud?"

Needless to say he was then reigned down upon with mud balls & pieces of turf.

I don't generally get many autographs when I'm on tour, but I found a couple of kind of cool set lists today...

The Beck show was in 2012, stopped at the show with a friend on our way to dinner, we had planned to stay for half an hour or so, but they were so great that night that we ended up staying for the whole show. After having previously worked at more than 100 of his shows, I would have never guessed that I would enjoy a show so much, it's definitely one of my top 10 concerts that I have seen. Luckily, the restaurant we like was open late that night.

This Pumpkins show in 2018 was billed as their "30th Anniversary" show and had numerous special guests, this is the only item signed by all of the musicians on stage that night. Jimmy Chamberlin was kind enough to sign his entire name (on request) his wife told me later she had "never seen one of those before", although Courtney Love's note is my favorite.

Laughing out loud!

You got me, never saw either Helloween, or EZO. Never had an interest in either, dare I say too much hair for my tastes? Hahaha. Certainly that was the case with EZO. They make me think of Y&T after Dave stopped wearing the silver spandex...

Interesting, I would never lump Helloween with hair metal! EZO rocked once they got rid of the Gene Simmons makeup, not really hard, but not pansy stuff.

With apologies to Helloween -

In October 1984, me and some friends who were in a band packed into the lead singer's camaro and a u-haul truck and set off for parts unknown. On the way we stopped at an in-store appearance by another band (who we were supposed to have been doing a show with, but it got cancelled due to them having immigration issues, but they made it into the country anyway).

One of the guitar players wrote directions to the in-store, which I used to get there, and used again after we got there.

That in-store also got written up in a "paper". But no mention of my friend's band, even though their lighting guy is in the picture drinking a Bud.

Favorite quote from the story "The band's unhappy influence... most of the youngsters... dressed in black"

Watch out, Satan will make you wear black!

Fun times,
Doug "I really didn't plan on this post being so cryptic, hahaha" Goodman
