I just voted for Dio by mistake! First name with an "R" in the list and I am tired. Guess I'll have to vote a few hundred times for Halford to make it up.
By that little mistake, I could have voted for Pat Buchanan in Florida and not have meant it. I question the order in which the names appear!! Recall. Recall.

Also agree but the margin of difference between Bruce and Ronnie wasn't that big at all.
Hey, I'll take a live Rob over a RIP Dio anyday. Ronnie can have the title as we've seen several of these anyway.

I bought tickets to see Gemini Syndrome in early December. I messaged them on facebook and ask them if they would place the wife and I on their guestlist and they said yes just to remind them closer to the show. I'm starting to love their disc and I really appreciate how these guys stick to their word. A good band and it seems like they're good guys also. Some here may like some of their disc, it has hints of Nu Metal but for the most part it's not. They have clean vocals most of the time but his singing style may not appeal to all. If I had to label them I would call them Nu Progressive. Yeah I made that up lets just hope it doesn't stick. To me it's all metal. I never really try to break it down anymore.

This makes me laugh. Under the "messages since last visit" section of the board it said, 20 messages since yesterday. Of those, only 4 were viewable since the rest are obviously shit I wouldn't want to see anyway.

Oh yeah, and why in the world would they have taken the bridge?!? The tunnel is FAR closer and easier to the east side of Detroit.

You beat me to it. I agree 100%. It would have been easily 25+ years ago when that would have been possible ($1 USD to cross the tunnel $1.25 Can) and nobody would take bills. COINS, sure. Quarters especially. At Harpos a beer was a buck USD but even if it were $1.10 USD, you'd only get change back. NEVER saw bills being passed. Loonies? Hardly. As HB said, it would have taken a lot of drinking (and quarters) to even come close to making $. Nope. Bit of a stretch there even back in the day.
They WERE (and ARE) right about the old layout and all the bands that must past through Harpos as a "right-of-passage" to repeat the term. I could add a hundred big names to that list. Dance floor with lights and monitors? Yes. Always metal vids. Way kewl. Still is, IMO. Just don't wear any gang colors! LOL!!

| | | Budred wrote: | | Overall the experience was pretty cool. I met a couple of Canadians who said they came over from Ontario across the bridge to Canada. They were telling me that they have been going to Harpos for at least 25 years. They said everyone has played there and named quite a few that they went to. Tesla, Run DMC, Kid Rock, Lamb Of God, Wasp, and others. They mentioned things about the club, like it used to have a lit dance floor and giant monitors. I forget other things they told me. They told me they used to come over to America to drink all the time. I don't know if they were telling me the truth or not but they said something about coming over with Canadian money, buying drinks and getting change with American money, and exchanging that when they got back to Canadian currency again and making money out of it. They laughed about coming here to drink and getting money back. Can anyone explain this or let me know it's not possible. I'm skeptical but I don't know. I probably wouldn't go back. Any big shows with no parking would freak me out up there. I've been in the City at night, Miami, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and a few others but this had a different vibe to it. Then I read today about Detroit getting a white mayor for the first time in decades and one of his first issues is dealing with how dangerous and violent Detroit is. I got in, I got out, I'm good! (lol)
