Panzer Division Marduk Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Metal Church were in London Tuesday night. I'd never seen them before, Mike Howe back singing for the first time in over 20 years. Just brilliant. A few songs off the new album, the rest almost all the classics. Amazing night. Two support acts, one Dutch thrash band who were damn good, if a little derivative, the other some Belgian band who were meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Division Marduk Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Blind Guardian in Dublin for the first time in ten years. Another great show, the band were class, but the support act? Gloryhammer. Holy f**k, one of the most mental things I have ever seen. Sebastian Vettel's deranged cousin dressed up as some sort of discount Chinese knockoff Iron Man, guitarist who appeared to be a medieval squire, an evil wizard wannabe on keyboards, singing songs about hammer wielding space unicorns invading Dundee (I think). And most unbelievable of all, it worked. They were excellent. But then Blind Guardian came along and blew them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Took in 3 shows this week- Black Sabbath at Jones Beach-a really tight band. Geezer and Iommi are great, the sub drummer is outstanding.Suspect the band is not heartbroken old and not well Bill Ward is gone. Ozzy is Ozzy. Heck, he's better than David Lee Roth by a bunch. And he has a sense of humor and he loves what he is doing. If you go back to the 70s, and you would not expect the Prince of Darkness to say "God bless you" 45 times a night and thank the audience profusely. A fun night.But an older and more mellow crowd than I expected. Zac Brown Band, Citifield- great show, tight band. Not a lot of bands, in addition to an excellent collection of country and party tunes, can cover The Who, Frank Sinatra, Van Morrison and John Mellencamp. In a way Brown is being held back for mainstream superstardom because he's so hard to fit in a box. To the idiots that run the Mets-if you sell out a concert hire more than 5 ticket takers, sheetheels. Absolutely insane that a good chunk of the audience weren't able to get in for the start only because this stadium is run so cheaply. Miranda Lambert and Kenny Chesney, Metlife-were busy partying did not see Old Dominion nor Sam Hunt. Solid show. Both seem a little too polished. Without looking at setlist.com would bet they both run through the same songs in exact order the whole tour. For all his talent, Chesney is a very odd duck. Lambert has that crazy girl eye thing going on. Proof that no matter how hot the woman,there is some guy some where who has had enough of her BS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Division Marduk Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Vektor made it to Dublin this week and played the new album in its entirety. Which, considering just how good that album is, went down a storm. The only disappointments was that the sound could have been better and some technical issues delayedthe start, meaning I had to leave before the end. Other than that, no complaints. Support acts were pretty good, local thrash band and an English band who clearly love the entire early 1990's Florida scene - especially the more technical of those bands (Cynic, Atheist, late era Death, etc).

RutgersJetFan Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Saw Kamasi Washington a few weeks back, he's every bit as incredible as he sounds on wax. The band he tours with is unfairly good, particularly the bassist and trombonist. Only thing is you forget that every song on The Epic is like 9 to 15 minutes long, so you only get about an 8-song set. Lotta songs I wished I would have gotten to hear that he just didn't have the time to play. Heading to Pearl Jam at Wrigley later tonight. Pretty psyched. Weather is absolutely perfect.

Panzer Division Marduk Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Kreator and Sepultura in Dublin this week. Pretty good, Sepultura were better than I expected, some of the classics, and the post Cavalera-era stuff didn't sound bad at all - but the stuff from Roots stuck out like a sore thumb. Dunno why people want the classic lineup to reunite anyways, Max Cavalera has turned into something that looks like a homeless bum that stumbles up on stage, jumps up and down a bit with a guitar with two strings missing, and wanders off. Kreator were damned good, though too much stuff from the 2000s, as evidenced by the way the place went apesh*t when they finished off with the really old and fast stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Saw Metallica last night in Baltimore with my son. Great show. Plus first thing I've done with him since he turned 21.

JoeC36 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Saw Miranda Lambert and Old Dominion back in February. Seeing Thomas Rhett, Dan & Shay, and Granger Smith the first weekend in June. Taste of Country Music fesitval second weekend in June with Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert and Sam Hunt as the headliners.

RutgersJetFan Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Been a huge fan of Oddisee for a long time and I finally got to catch him live last night. Really one of the best sets I have ever seen. He has been experimenting more and more with abstract jazz, vocal harmonies, and live instrumentation the past couple years and they are really magic on stage together.

HighPitch Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 My orange blossom jam 2017 review: 1. Th stereo type-never hear of em but good instrumental jam heavy keyboards 2. Unlimited devotion- a dea tribute band. Pretty good, but not superb 3. Applebutter express- kicked ass. Really catchy songs wouldnt be surprised they rise a bit in the country scene. 4. Savi fernadez band had a strong set 5. Holey miss moley- i dunno, i like em but this time they got i to rapping a bit. Too much rap. Wtf? 6. The heavy pets- wow really surprised. Did a superb "fearless" cover by pink floyd. Very fun 7.grass is dead-a bluegrass dead tribute that killed it. At this poi t i was really wasted and singing too much Obj is a gkod little cheap festival. Byob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I really want to go see "Pete Townshend's Quadrophenia" at the Met in September. But just like most rock shows these days, ticket prices are crazy. Pete's 72 now so really want to catch the show which might be the last staging with him. But even cheap seats with parking and the rest is going to run like $700. Maybe I'd do it if Keith and John were alive. But I can't justify spending all that coin. Fuk this world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same exact show with Alfie Bowe and Billy Idol recorded at Royal Albert Hall about 2 years ago runs on AXS from time to time. It's kinda fun, but understand it' more orchestra than Townsend anyway. it's a bit odd to see one guy with a guitar and an orchestra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodeawhodat Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 saw U2 Joshua tree tour last week at raymond james stadium and i had high expectations. They surpassed them! It was more of an event than a concert. 200 ft wide screen behind them and it was amazing. I encourage all who can make this show as they tour to attend, you wont regret it. also should add that i went to gasparilla music festival a couple months ago. Cage the Elephant headlined and they kicked mucho ass!!! was happy for a bit listening to Ghost Faced Killa but then my buddy asked why he was playing all RZA and wu tang stuff. kinda ruined it for me... saving grace would have been him pulling one of the wu on stage and for a moment it looked like he would. asked they crowd who they wanted to see on stage and was a large portion of method man fans. he brought up a little white girl to sing his parts... the end, moved onto the next stage... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I saw Dave at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, back to back nights. I've never been to a Dave show. The first night was cool; he's cool and is passionate about his music. The second night, the crowd was loaded with dudebros and he played all deep cuts sh*t and it sucked. For some reason, I bought tickets to Jason Isbell in New Haven. The opener did ten very loud songs that were like some sh*t you'd hear at open mic night at your local hipster pub, which put the crowd into a deep sleep. By the time Isbell came out, the crowd was shot and couldn't give a sh*t. He was fine, but doesn't really have a fastball. Think Bruce Springsteen, but if Bruce co-wrote his songs with Larry the Cable Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
