Tundras live: Dad jokes not allowed and IPA drinkers shunned and hair metal kicks ass

Concerts...going to be hard to remember all of the opening acts even if I can remember the main artist.

First was Bon Jovi with Skid Row opener, back when I was 13. Besides Metallica, I've also seen (in no particular order) Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode, Gypsy Kings, The Police, Macklemore, Anthrax, BB King, U2 and a few more I cannot remember.

As part of the Metallica shows, I've also seen Eminem, Dr Dre, Kid Rock, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Filter, Guns & Roses, The Sword, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Godsmack, Pantera, Mammoth, and Five Finger Death Punch. There are easily another 5-6 bands that opened for Metallica that I don't remember.

 

Nope...

 

So did they do that first or Motley Crue? That's a signature Tommy Lee thing from back in the day.

 

Damn! That preview sounds like something Anne Rice would have penned.

Gonna grab it and read it!

Thanks!

 

Craziest part is how the parasites make their host seek out water so they can reproduce.

 

Quick search:

 

Good question... The MC concert I was at they did back in probably the mid 80s or so?

 

Hell yes. That rig is super sketch!

Looks like it…

It would have been Sacramento... but yes that's the set up

 

Beyond my Neil diamond sing along at age 9, yeah I've been to a ton of shows. And that doesn't even include bar shows because when I was lived in San Diego I worked at a live music blues bar that was home to some national touring acts. But I'll give it a go anyhow and list some of my favorite shows. Gotta say I'm super jelly of @JMB's list... led fucking zepplin and John prime, those must've been epic! If only I still had all the overpriced concert shirts...

There are many more but after many years of bartending it has proved some memories become difficult. And also why at my age in life I say I'm done paying for shows. But I know that's a dream because a few months ago I bought Tix for Billie Eilish for this Nov because my oldest daughter wants to go. And this summer I did go to a few free shows at Dillon amphitheater.

 

Moving some brush

 

Iron Maiden x4
Judas Priest and Testament (the only bands from Ozzfest willing to make the 200 mile trek up here from their nearest tour stop)
Megadeth with Machine Head and a lousy opener
AC/DC
Megadeth with Testament and Exodus (on Chuck Billy's birthday, no less)
Judas Priest with Motorhead and Volbeat, I think?
The Sword
Sleep
John Fogerty
The Tragically Hip x3
Smashing Pumpkins
Cold Play (took the wife)

Not in order. May be forgetting some.

 

Been a lot of fun reading about all your concerts. We have seen some cool chit!

 

Also interesting is the commonalities we share in the type of music.

 

with this said....

I wonder what the most listened to music is right now.

My son tells me on Pandora it's "our" music.

On Spotify it's not much different.


When/where do folks consume today's sorry-ass, no-talent, bubblegum, ear slag?


is it apple music?

 

Spotify for me.

 

Some of us don't have this kind of free time on our hands

 

I have a huge catalogue of music on portable hard drives but when Spotify premium came out I signed up just so I would have access to any new music coming out. I haven't touched my hard drives in probably like 6 or 7 years now. I sold my cd collection years ago as well when I converted it to digital MP3's.

 

same. except I still have my cd's.

streaming makes it damn easy and today's algorithms mix up the music quite well.

 

once I transferred everything over to digital I ended up storing them in snowboard boot boxes. I had over 400 stored in boxes and all in alphabetical order. I sold each box at the yard sale but wouldn't let anyone cherry pick anything. So if they wanted something from that box I made them buy the whole lot from it. Wasn't for the money either, they were just taking up too much space at that point in my life.

Talking and thinking about all the shows I've been to, as well as my cd collection I've spent way to much money on music. And I don't regret it for a second.

 

'zactly.

I vowed to ALWAYS have music on in my house/car/gym.

it's just good for you.

 

Who here ever bought in into Colombia house to acquire cds for their collection? What was it, start with 10 cd's for a penny each plus shipping with commitment to buy like 10 at full price over the next year?

 

me


twice.



back in the late 80's...cd's were the shit.

 

I probably did it 3 or 4 times. Had that urgency to build my collection. Started around sophomore year of highschool which was 88.

 

amazing stuff.

who would have ever thought, back in the 80's, that there would be ZERO record stores.

we thought Napster was a fluke.

then Limewire.

then Apple caught a whiff of that ass....and took over.

I guess that's why music sux these days. no money for the artists.


I bet I have 10k songs from when I downloaded back then...



what's next?

the apple watch synch'ing to your heartbeat then finding music that matches? we ain't far off.

 

I did but it was 8-track. . Long before CD's were known.
