Just wondering how many people here are going to see Grave Digger on March 2 at BB Kings in NYC. I will certainly be there as they are one of my all time favorite bands.
Not so much a fan of the first three albums (between those three albums I think I like four songs). Starting with Symphony of Death and working up all the way through their latest release is some of the finest power metal I have ever heard. My overall favorite albums have to be Tunes of War, The Grave Digger, and Rheingold.
This will be Grave Digger's third ever US show since they first came out in Germany back in the early 80's. I was there for their first ever US show in 2004 in which they played the Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles 6 Pack Weekend in Cleveland, Ohio alongside Doro, Primal Fear, Brainstorm, Metal Church, and others. It was absolutely amazing and I still remember it like it was yesterday. I'll never forget them ripping into "Heavy Metal Breakdown" and me who never goes in the pits got involved with my Spanish brothers who were in the building going absolutely ape shit.
They did one off show in Arizona after the 6 Pack Weekend and that was it so March 2 at BB Kings is their next and only US show of the year. Local power metallers Arctic Flame are opening so that should be great.
Now if only Running Wild would get their asses over here for a show!
