Although, lately I feel like the Oldest person @ the concerts, There is something about LIVE show that just keep me going. I mean I'm going to be 40 and We (my wife and I) just went to the last Family values tour, drove down to oOrange county to see Linkin Park.......Seeing how I've never been to Oakland, I can't wait till December should be a Great weekend! And FDD, if you do pick up a ticket, I personaly will smoke you out b4 the show!!!!!!

i quit going when all the hot chicks started bringing their 12 year olds to the shows.

i used to live 5 mins from the coliseum. those stubs are from shows i actually paid for. we used to walk around the outside doors and just wait for someone to push one open. they opened from the inside but locked from the out. there were guards around but 1 guard covered 6 to 8 doors. someone would run up, push the door open then disappear into the crowd real quick. or we could go down stairs and bullshit with the guard down there. for 20 he usually let us all in. sometimes up to 8 of us for 20 bucks. my buddy worked there for a vendor so we had name tag passes to a few shows. i saw iron maiden like 12 times. my gf loved them. all the motley crew shows.aaaaaah, good times.

I like the new album as far as the music goes, not the singing. I think the downfall of Metallica was the singer actually singing and not screaming and how abruptly they changed genres. All that is what made Metallica not good. The new album though, it sounds a bit like their old stuff, but just enough where it's a noticeable change. Then when the vocals comes in, it sounds horrible. You can't actually "sing" for what genre Metallica is seeking once more....

I miss going to Hollywood on a Friday night, Seeing Tommy and Vince, David Lee Roth, and a bunch of others, just hanging out, partying @ the Rainbow, or at shows at the trubadore and the Whiskey. Damn, starting to feel old.........

Tickets went from $20 to $75 for all bands! Nobody pays for music anymore, so bands have to make the $ on the road. But, remember in '83 cigarettes were $.85 a pack, and gas was, what? 1.35 a gallon.............FDD, I was and am not picking a fight in anyway with you....=)

I only paid $40 for gen admission to an Iron Maiden concert.. That was a kick ass concert too. I can usually get gen admission for $40..

Their new shit is getting better, but XM and Sirius need to cut back on playing it before I change my mind
