The most brutal Olympics...

Audio without the commentary

With annoying talking

Oh I loved it and WAS NOT expecting it!

This is awesome. Full Rainbow concert from 1977. Ronnie James Dio was in his prime and sounds so good.

---

I don't have many regrets in my 51 years, but not seeing Dio live is one of them.

---

Consider myself very lucky to have met him in Irvine in 2007.

That Rainbow in Munich concert was with Aussie - Bob Daisley on Bass after my friend Jimmy Bain got kicked out of the band for partying too much.

The sound and video for this concert is pretty great for 1989.

I was just thinking to myself last night how impressive it was to be this successful after realizing their first album officially in 1983, and 6 years later, Boom, on the And Justice For All tour.

I saw Megadeth at the International Ballroom in 1998. The web says Coal Chamber was the opener. Not sure if that building is still even standing. It was a huge piece of crap shopping center/warehouse. I saw Marilyn Manson in this same venue in 1997.

All this just proves that I'm getting old and my parents were pretty lenient.

---

I'm also a Streetfighter, 10 classes older than you and I was also at that Megadeth show with Coal Chamber in 1998.

Fast forward to 2005 and I'm at a friend's rock show at Club 7969 on Santa Monica. I look over and I see this long haired Mexican dude who looks kind of familiar. After a few minutes, I realized it was Meegs from Coal Chamber.

I was like - wow, that's random. This was before I realized that all these guys know each other.

That was also the night that I saw the old lead singer from Kingdom Come doing blow in the front seat of his 1989 Mercedes in the parking lot. I had never seen anybody do rails of cocaine before.

New single from Jinjer

I've been learning Diamond Head's "Am I Evil" which was the only song of theirs I knew. Listening to their album while walking my dog, not a bad song on here

Yes! Official audio from Gojira

new Vola coming soon.. love these guys

Also.. this guy is at it again.

Yes, please, to both VOLA and Devy.

Was not expecting to see Vola mentioned when I came here. Big fan of the newer wave of "prog metal". Dream Theater announced their US tour last week. Bought tickets for it. Can't wait.

I recently went back a decade and finally checked out this amazing album. God bless Norway,

I have seen DT once. Gigan Tour in 2004.

I want to see them again. Thanks for the heads up

This is metal-ish. Body Count usually does heavier stuff, and it sounds like Gilmour turned up the distortion a bit

This is some cool stuff right here. Denver on the metal map.

Read a review that perfectly encapsulates the first track.

'It's like you're at a Pink Floyd laser show and the DJ keeps swapping over to a morbid angel record.

The album is pretty solid, if you like what they do in these 8 minutes, you should check it out.




Kinda pissed I just heard of them and find out they played this album in full just a few weeks ago in Boulder on the release date.

Met Megadeth a couple years ago in Austin. Went to a queensryche concert in 2003. Saw Metallica last August. They still got it!

---

I helped drink all of Queensryche's beer backstage at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, Irvine, CA in 2007

Serious question, I've seen Megadeth a bunch of times with the most recent being in 2015 at Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, Australia. Dave's voice was gone then. If you've seen Megadeth more recently, has his voice improved or are his singing days pretty much over?

---

Friend and I went to a studio (house) in Lakewood, WA (Gravelly Lake Drive) to get some grass... mid-90s. Walk in the front door... navigating to the back... passing some band sitting around. Scored... leaving, walked past the "band" (didn't know who they were) with a wave, "Hey, guys".

A few weeks later on the radio I heard the song they were listening to. "Last Time in Paris".

Never thought I'd see Blood Incantation pop up on TA. Not truly my speed from what I've heard, just give me the Morbid Angel, but huge respect for them anyways.

Nice to see some of the more obscure metal round these parts and not just the usual.

I think that song was written in the late 80s. It was on the Ford Fairlane soundtrack that was circa 89/90

Iron Maiden tomorrow.

Right! I never had heard that song (late entrant into the Queensryche catalog). When I heard it on the radio I was like, "Queensryche? No ****". Never figured out why they were listening to a many-years-old track of themselves.

Thanks to SeaSpeed I'm still on a major Acid Bath kick. Also resulted in revisiting the Crowbar catalog which has been a blast.

Not metal, but at least metal-adjacent:

you like MA and not these guys?
I feel like they have a ton of that MA and death sound. That first track is the only one that strays off into Pink Floyd-ish stuff for a long time. Most of the other tracks are a bit more straight forward.

Funny story, circa 2006, I went to a party hosted by a drummer in North Hills.

This was before I knew that all the drummers know all the other drummers (RIP - James Kottak).

I see a White Lexus parked out front with a personalized license plate that says - "MOBRULZ"

I thought. That's funny. This guy must be a Sabbath fan.

Turns out it was Vinny Appice's car.

---

Just read your post...

That is a cool story. Always I've been a Vinny fan. Took my wife to a Michael Schenker concert around a decade ago... Carmen was on drums.

I think it was around 20 years ago Vinny and I were corresponding via email (I used to author concert reviews for a vintagerock website. We connected.) Had (paid) him to autograph to myy twin boys a drumhead. "Chris and Chase, Stand up and Shout".

Chris went on to sign a 7-figure deal with RoadRunner Records. It was a wild run. Thanks for inspiring a memory.

Great story.

I saw Michael Schenker at Whisky a GoGo in April 2015 when I was taking my then 16 y/o daughter on a college tour. Turns out The Whisky is an all-ages venue.

And randomly, that night I ran into the drummer who used to host the parties at his house in North Hills.

Of course the last time I was at The Whisky in 2023, it was fairly dead just like most of the venues in LA post-Covid. But a decade ago, it was packed.
