My Armored Saint story is me and a friend arrived for their scheduled show at the Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, to find it was cancelled due to lack of ticket sales (only time that ever happened to me). Found out Saint decided to play The Thirsty Whale (nearby River Grove), a bar that played exclusively metal bands (mostly local). So I stood in front of the stage for a full Armored Saint set in front of 300 people max. They came out for an encore all dressed in bathrobes and with bottles of Jack. In the middle of "March of the Saint" John Bush starts spinning in circles, swinging a 1/2 full bottle and WHACK, I get a full blow to the side of the head with the bottle. I don't think he even realised what happened but I sure did. I knew right then what the phrase "I saw stars" really meant. That said, I recovered my senses and continued to headbang. Well, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't get any more METAL than that for me (concussion or not)!

Great Savatage story Doug! I’m a big Savatage fan. Their STREETS album was the first CD I bought when I started switching from buying tapes to CD. And Hall of the Mtn King is a great great album!

It’s great that there are a good amount of Metalheads on the board.

This is a great thread for many reasons, I will add another one.

I had not picked up a guitar is at least 2 years. After seeing the ones Tony posted I got one of mine out and did some playing yesterday. Wrist and fingers started cramping after about 15 minutes. Luckily that went away and I messed around with it yesterday and some this morning.

Way better than binge watching TV or just playing on the net.
