Heavy metal v. Buffett

[Hockey Mon]

just saw metallica last week and they put on a great show! jimmy should cover some songs on the death magnetic album.

I'd love to see Jimmy covering some Metallica. He could go old school - play some Seek and Destroy. Or, better yet, Damage Inc. Mac could wale on the guitar. Man, I love my metal. I probably like the 80's/90's metal more than Buffett.

Very first concert I ever saw was Quiet Riot/Iron Maiden in '83 at the UIC Pavillon. What a loud show. Last metal show I saw was Bon Jovi/ Scorpions in 1984. I remember thinking that Bon Jovi sucked and they would never amount to anything.

The image of Jimmy in a righteous 80's metal hair wig covering some heavy metal with a reggae sound is entertaining.

QR/IM - yeah, I'm sure it was loud. The second concert I ever went to was Bon Jovi in Jan of 1986. I agree with you in thinking that they were not too good and would never go anywhere. A few years later, as I was into more serious metal, I could not believe I went to that show. I threw away my ticket stub (I have all my other ones) and purged that memory from my head. I look back at it now and laugh. While I'm not a Bon Jovi fan, he seems to have done okay.

Well, the next month after QR/IM I saw Quiet Riot and Black Sabbath with the guy from Deep Purple on vocals. I just remember Sabbath starting and being terrified. Loud, weird, scary. Thank God the tickets were free.

I think the thing about Bon Jovi is his music has grown up over the years. The sound has changed and I think they are better now then when they started.

Nickelback? Heavy metal?????

Am I missing something? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Well, if Jethro Tull is HM, so is Nickelback.

That was the biggest joke ever! JT getting the grammy for HM Artist, over Metallica. I think Ian took out an ad in NY times saying "the flute is not a HM instrument" or something to that extent.

I went to the Iced Earth Show two days before Jimmy a few years back. It was a pretty easy transition.

One year I took my wife (then girlfriend) to see the Phantom of the Opera (musical) on one day, then I went to Metallica and Guns Roses (together) the next day, and then took her to see Yanni a few days later.

Apocalyptica uses string instruments that aren't guitars, the instruments they use were originally used for jazz and blues but they played metallica covers at ozzfest 08'.They play the cello and have a drummer and no singer. plus didn't u hear metallica is going to the hall of fame?

While I am sitting here reading Buffettnews I have Metallica's "Death Magnetic" cranked. My wife isn't here, which is why I have it loud, she doesn't appreciate metal.

Black Label Society with Zack Wilde is playing here 2 nights after JB, tempting.

I saw Bon Jovi last year. I had to fulfill that 7th grade fantasy. I even teared up a little when they did "I'll Be There For You."

The Dropkick Murphys put on a great show too, but they are probably a little more Celtic Punk than metal.

I cried when MetallicA played enter sandman at ozzfest 08' because right before they played it Hetfield said happy birthday to me and earlier that day I had told Hetfield that enter sandman was the first metal song I ever heard and that my bday was at the end of the month so hearing seven years later and live for the first time &only a few days before my bday made me cry.It is still to this day the happiest day of my life, My mom thought something was wrong b/c she looked at me and I was crying like a little biotch over there against the guardrail 2feet from stage trying to sing along with the song lol. No day will ever top being in the same room with the people I looked up to so much.[ and being in the same room as the ozzman sent shivers down my spine but at the same time I had the biggest smile] Best part was, I got to experience that whole day with my cool mom. [yes boys and girls it is possible to have a cool mom]
