Chicago, the local club, last year>>>I believe it was December (though I could be wrong 😬 )

Wait a second!

If my memory serves me right, they played one specific track during the Destruction set... and there was this blonde in the crowd who was absolutely convinced it was their "New song." But she was mistaken—and that’s exactly where the danger lies when a person starts operating solely on assumptions. 😬 ) 😁

>Epidemic of Violence< - one of my personal favorites 😁

though before diving into that, I’d probably suggest checking out Skins Nes by Nuclear Assault (assuming you haven't already stumbled upon it 😉 )

Lately, I’ve found myself drifting back toward the old guard 😁
:::
The likes of Exodus, Nuclear Assault, Heathen, and Demolition Hammer... though, naturally, the heavy hitters like Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer are always lurking there in the background

Has anyone ever even heard of bands like Rhapsody? Or maybe DragonForce and Wuthering Heights?

What do you mean, "heard of"...!!! 😁 —I own their entire discography...

But if I’m being honest, I still find myself gravitating toward trash music more often than not.😍

Good grief, 😲 how many times are we going to have to reopen this exact same thread?

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 👍

😛 😁 no!!! 👎 ---if I hadn't already committed myself to about ten other concerts this year... I might actually consider it.....

But honestly, maybe he just didn't have the budget for two when he was shopping around. 😛 😍

Here are my top three bands—and I mean truly, deeply beloved. They aren't just favorites; I practically worship them... even if they do drive me absolutely insane at times.😉 (_spike 😛 )

1. Iron Maiden
2. Helloween
3. Metallica

(Though, if I’m being honest... there are actually quite a few more than just these three.)

They played a set out near St. Louis about a month ago... it wasn't half bad, I suppose. 👍 🙂

Well... it’s certainly reassuring to know I’m not the only one who feels this particular brand of cynicism regarding the agonizing wait for a concert 👍 👋

😁

...it’s like comparing AC/DC 😍 to Iron Maiden 😍 when you consider the sheer scale of their influence...

👍 ...yeah... 👍

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less 🙂 whether there’s an opening act or not; my only concern is that the band I’m actually dropping $110 😲 😍 dollars to see, 😍 Metallica, 🙂
ends up actually showing up on stage.

...just sleep, my only friend... ah, those were the good old days 😁

—it makes me think there might actually be some decent music left out there
if you look at them as a benchmark!!!

Have you ever come across that famous conversation regarding >>>peasdiv>

Hugh 'n' Pepper said:...we actually shared the stage with them at a club about a year ago...

So, are you playing in a band yourself?

I’ve never heard 😢

whenever I bother asking the Cleveland alternative scene
about everything I’ve witnessed firsthand
it seems like the punks always have some grand achievement to boast about 🙂
