Other than it being my birthday today (shameless plug), it's also the day of the irish! What music will you be playing today to celebrate the mood?

I will be enjoying some Skyclad, Elvenking, Tuatha De Danann, Wolfstone, Lorenna McKennitt, and Leprechaun among others.
 
Today I will be Irish, at least until the Guiness says so, for one day, at the House of Blues in Hollywood while the bands KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and DRAGONFORCE play for me (and a sold out venue). he,he.

To all you out there on this holiday of sorts, a toast to you; good drinks, good music, good times!
 
I'm about to grab some Harp Lager and crank up Thin Lizzy,
Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher - happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
 
Flogging Molly, and Guinness for me as well. Also, a few rare bootleges of Megadeth in Ireland.

And since Matt Barllow is a redhead, does old Iced Earth count?
 
Happy B-Day dude!

Thanks to a severed fiber line, and Sprint re-routing us without any notification, all I get to listen to is the phones ringing, and pissed off merchants at the other end of the line. Probably do the Lizzy/Moore/Gallagher
trifecta when I get home....

You would be doing it right for sure, I had the right intention but I ended up listening to Symphony X, Stride and Leatherwolf before I even got to the Lizzy; putting in the Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher now - :kickass:

We were debating this last night at the WREK studio, since the show starts right at midnight. :) We had a listener request some Elvenking for this exact reason, but none of us had any available. :(

We did play some Green Carnation, Atheist's song "Green," and Korpiklaani's "Happy Little Booze.r" :heh:

It was our cohost Tim's birthday also today, so we played Devin Townsend's "Earth Day" in his honor. My birthday present for him? Managing the live editing on the four (4) obscenities in the song. :lol:

It was a great show with a lot of excellent requests, including more than the usual amount of prog- and power requests. Our own Mtndewqueen88 was on the air for a while. :rock: Playlist is here: http://www.wrekage.org/playlists.php
 
OK who has a hangover today??

I didn't come within 10 miles of a green beer so I'm feelin' great! :)

But I was seriously lacking in greenatuditidity :kickass: for which I should be ashamed!!
:lol:
 
My St Pattys day was frickin awesome-- I saw G3 with Paul Gilbert in Berkeley- then cruised over to San Francisco to go see Y&T.. It has been a long time since I have done 2 shows in one night..
 
My friends and I were at a British pub called "Fox & Hounds". I had several pints of Guinness a shot of Bushmills and some mixed drinks. They had a digital jukebox which does have some good music (much more than an old fashioned jukebox would). We didn't play any Irish bands, but we did play some Dream Theater, King Crimson, King's X, Pink Floyd, Rush, as well as some bands of other genres outside of what we usually talk about (i.e. Stevie Ray Vaughn, Sex Pistols, Johnny Cash, etc...) on this forum! They didn't have any Evergrey, Pagan's Mind, Threshold, Enchant, (I don't know if anyone checked Symphony X yet) etc...but, that would be asking for too much at present time, as far as I have seen. I'm glad though for the progress in selection that has been made so far! It's pretty cool that nowadays people can listen to some stuff beyond pop (contemporary and classic) on a jukebox!
 
There's a Fox and Hound right around the corner from my apartment. Tons of pool tables! I didn't go out, though.
That one sounds like a much bigger one than the one that I go to. The one I go to is so small that it only has one pool table. :erk: But, it more than makes up for it with as a place that there's always some people that I know there (planned or not) and a couple of really cool bartenders (who don't charge me for every drink ;))!

Hell! I was mentioning to my friend Dave that this pub would be a good pre-PPVIII meet up for the South FL attendees! They already have a little bit of the music that we would like anyways, in the jukebox, and I think that I can convince a couple of the bartenders to play some CDs that we'd bring in too! :rock:
 
I can't really confess the details of the time spent in the bar, except that we snuck two friends in from the parking lot over the pation fence and into the tent, because THE OWNER OF THE BAR TOLD US TO. We know him, we grew up with him, and he even let us in past the line, completely to our suprise (Boy were there some bitchin' and some swearin' behind our backs! HAHA!). He told us, "Just show em the fence and have them hop it. It's too crowded at the door cuz people are sheep." Which is true!

We filled a memory card on our digicam. On said camera, our designated driver's boobies, two drunken hoors licking each others' panties, and the ice block luge girl shaking her ass.


From the time we left the doors to hit the valet, until we got to our house party for the finale of the night:

1. I think I got a cracked rib from Friend #1 when, I suppose, he elbowed me. I'm pretty sure it was an elbow. I had to sit down, cuz it hurt to breathe. And the pain wasn't fading away! It stayed! Ugh!

2. Friend #1 tried some MMA side-Russian-leg-sweep shenanigans on Friend #2 and our designated driver screeched in terror.

3. The bouncers come flying out the doors behind us tackling a "soccer hooligan" as we liked to call the rambunctious drunks, and slammed him to the ground. The hooligan was already bloody-faced, but the landing on the sidewalk opened something up and out came the crimson river pouring from his head. Huge pool of bright red blood, and a bunch of arrogant threats from the hooligan. It's funny to see someone say they'll kick your ass, after you've already kicked their ass and thrown them out. Those bouncers were just laughing their asses off. Awesome.

4. Friend #1 had to puke out the car door, while we were in the drive-thru line at Taco Bell. I told him to walk over to the storm drain and let it all out, but he couldn't be bothered with trying to balance over a hole.

5. I squirted hot sauce ALL OVER friend #2. Forearms, shoulder, pants, carseat... and we, yes WE, started licking the sauce up to clean up.


All-in-all, an enjoyable St. Paddy's Day. I want to thank Symphony X, for allowing me to wear a green shirt on St. Paddy's Day, and STILL be METAL.
