SinceThe70s

Metallica before anyone knew of them.

I never took a deep dive into Nine Inch Nails, but liked what I heard. One lyric that always stuck with me was "Gray would be the color if I had a heart"

Rob Halford is a Metal God! Metal was my fave genre in the 80's and I still love it, but I love other genres too and drifted away from metal. Last year Judas Priest put out an album that took me back in time and put a big smile on my face. This kicks @ss, Halford is 72 and still bringing it

Or the guy that hired him and sticks with him? I'm not defending Boone by saying this but over the past few years I question how much sway a manager has versus the front office and analytics crews.

Disclaimer: I have no clue who (if either) is the righteous party in this case. But how many times has Hairston been sued similarly by over 20 women? If and when that becomes the case (or as other info is made public) my thoughts on this suit will differ - as they did with Watson. "Because he plays for another team" is completely irrelevant to me, not sure why you made that point.

The first band I ever saw live was local boys BOC (Twisted Sister was the warm up and on the cusp of MTV stardom!). . That's a nice polished version of ETI, but the band lost their mojo around the time I first saw them and this version is better imo. And even better from the same album:

Never would have heard of this band if not for @muppy. "If life is easy than what is this?"

Flashback to my freshman year of college! I was all in on the metal bands at the time, but MTV was becoming a musical force in its own way and this was one I liked.

Red Dye #2?

lmao. This song made it on to one of my playlists and I have no idea why or when I added it. Thought it might be from this thread, but your post predates my playlist by many years. Great song, it came up recently on a family vacay and wifey was digging it.

Not sure if it's a coincidence to come across Guthrie Govan in the midst of some Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson posts. Govan played on a few Steven Wilson albums when PT was on hiatus - and I was p!ssed when he missed the Hand. Cannot.Erase tour. Regardless, another PT song from their most recent:

That is baseball in a nutshell. It never ceases to amaze me how folks who have watched the game for decades don't grasp the fickle nature of the game when viewed through small time frames. Neither Tampa nor the O's 2025 season is likely to be defined by the games played this and last week, they are just another chapter in a longer book.

The backstory to the album this is from is interesting: According to Wilson, the concept album is written from a female perspective, and the concept and story are inspired by the case of Joyce Carol Vincent, where a woman living in a large city dies in her apartment and no one misses her for over two years, despite her having family and friends. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand._Cannot._Erase.

She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head So quietly she lays and waits for sleep

Seems to me like they are weighing clicks over anything else.

Third time has not been a charm. The past two years my vacation coincided with winning streaks, this year it's been the opposite, their current losing streak started on my first day of vacation. Flying home tomorrow, hopefully that will be a slump buster.

Many many years ago my father was on vacation in London and the older tour guide made a crack that Leicester Square had a silent "C" - just like the American rap music! 😄

Don't give up yet. I don't think Girlschool has been mentioned. Good enough for Lemmy good enough for me.

A Super Bowl will get you through times of no money better than money will get you though times of no Super Bowl. I'll take the Lombardi.

Strange coincidence: last night we were enjoying a cocktail outside. A Beach Boys song came on my playlist and my son's GF mentioned that her father was a fan. Pretty sure the second album I ever bought was Beach Boys Endless Summer. RIP.

Didn't listen Hoobastank much but this one stuck with me:

I'm a week late, but:
