Big Big Train and IZZ in Quebec City for my 80th birthday.

The ones that still hurt, since I live in a country where there is no abundance of concerts of our kind of music: Van der Graaf Generator...

He co-wrote two of the eight songs.

Ironically, most songs on Ride the Lightning were written by Dave Mustaine, who was booted out of the band before Kill 'em All.

I haven't been to a concert since March 13th 2020 (Hansford Rowe Trio). I usually go to about two per week so I guess I missed quite a few. Just...

It's already been established felines can get infected, but there is no evidence of transmitting to people...at least from what I've read out of...

Yes it is. Great live version on BBC Paris too.

Well, ESPN is the fool's gold of sports journalism. Their coverage of McGregor's rape charges is quite stunning in how they appeased their corporate...

And I just listened to that album 2 nights ago.

In terms of shows where I had tickets: They Might be Giants, Caspian, Maserati, Anna Meredith, Faith No More, Gojira, Deftones, Poppy, Deafheaven,...

The DEA under the Obama administration decided they weren't going to enforce marijuana laws. That pretty much stuck ever since. As I mentioned,...

...done in the name of trying to avoid the skills competition decision.

You know...I actually kinda dig 'Man of the People'. Pretty catchy pop song. I don't like this direction much because a major draw for me with his...

This is one of the best b-sides IMO. Great feel to this one. If it wasn't for Gillan, it sounds like it might have come from the third (self-titled)...

Phil can’t stan… I guess seeing Robert Wyatt would be a crime too, let alone 80 people in an orchestra all sitting led by conductor Gustavo Dudamel....

Co-incidentally to this thread, I have been on a Canterbury binge myself over the last few weeks. Planning to visit there once this insane lockdown...

I have never seen them live, and that is the true test of any band. As I promised Steve, I listened to my three Volbeat albums. First, this is a...

The production on Machine Head is very clean, but I've warmed up to it over the years. I happen to love all seven songs, and the cleaner sound seems...
