I'm not a big fan of "selfies", so my pic from the last poster is probably still the best one I have... :-)

That was the proper headlining tour... "co-headlining" means both acts play full sets. Also, it's a pretty typical strategy for a co-headline bill. Two acts that have similar levels of popularity and are in the same overall genre, but not the same subgenre. That way there's some crossover fan...

LOL!

I'd never heard the original song, so when I first saw the Jorn video a few days ago, I thought it was just a typical "decent but nothing special" hard rock song, like many others on many of his solo albums. As for the video specifically... the Jorn video manages to be even cheesier than the...

I saw these guys live a year or two ago and thought they were pretty solid. I liked some As I Lay Dying material back in the day, but on balance this new band is probably better.

LOL... well played!

I thought these guys were kinda interesting. I listened to some songs, and was going to see them live last year, but then they got shafted by the visa clusterfuck and had to drop off the tour.

Oh yeah... I don't really care about live videos or compilations, but I never actually got around to listening to Ravenhead last year... I definitely need to check that out...

I know much more about newer hard rock and metal bands than Eddie Trunk, and I don't know how to pronounce Gotthard either. I've only ever seen the name online, never heard it pronounced. That said, I wouldn't have made multiple attempts at saying it. I know from past experience that in public...

It's not that mysterious, since they have, after all, discussed it in interviews, heh. Basically, they weren't all that interested in bringing in someone international, and thus were pretty strongly focused on finding someone from the UK. Apparently, Doogie White was strongly considered, but...

Cool. The first 2 albums, Silicon Messiah and Tenth Dimension are still my favorites, but I enjoy his entire discography, so I'm looking forward to this.

My situation is probably similar to Mardoch's. Years ago, I likely would have known the biggest pop songs of the day. There's probably a couple decades worth of radio hits that I know pretty well. But these days, even if something is being played everywhere, all the time... where exactly are...

Heh... I've either never heard or don't recall the Adele song, so I'll take your word for it! As someone who is intrigued by metal covers of pop songs though, I like what Battle Dragon did with the Celine Dion song. They increased the tempo a little bit, changed some arrangements to better suit...

Hruh? Reworking a soft rock ballad to use speed metal riffage and double bass is not putting their own twist on it? :)

Well fuck. I was looking forward to seeing those guys tomorrow. This really blows. Definitely glad to hear there were no major injuries and everyone will be OK.
