Doro sounded great the other night. Her voice still amazes me. The band was o.k. Bolan looked like he was out of his mind. His energy was out of control. I thought he was going to fall over a few times. He just seemed to jam on in his own world. It was either pure energy and enthusiasm that...

Yup. Great stuff right there.

Growing up I used to hear all of the cliche's regarding my taste for all things metal: [kid on bus and his interpretation of metal lyrics]: "KILL YOUR MOTHER KILL YOUR BROTHER!!!" [kid in class talking about kids who listen to metal]: "Those kids who listen to heavy metal must be dumb because...

lol. Point taken. See Municipal Waste's "You're Cut Off" as an example of complex thought out lyrics. [/sarcasm off]

While not a huge name by no means, but many of us old schooler's know her, mainly for her work with Chastain. She still is active today, although I have not heard any of her newer material. I am not sure why she never made it huge. I think the band Chastain was from the mid-west in the...

...Been a fan of Savatage since 86 or so (The first and only time I saw them live they opened for Dio back in 87 or so, and most of the people in the crowd were not into them...infact some were throwing small batteries at them. :( ). The only albums that I find weak are "Dead Winter Dead", and...
