Man, I wish you guys could refrain from the "snow" talk.(insert smiley).

 I like it I'm just not ready for it.

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)

a couple of corrections. I said on ramp and meant overpasses and I said to the right of the stage and it was to the left.

@Guido. I finally made it to Harpos. Seedy neighborhood? OMG. I got a little nervous when about a mile from the exit I started to notice graffitti all over the on ramps. Nothing new but then about 1/2 mile to go and now I'm seeing the poles covered and graffitti on the highway signs and I was like "great", freakin' gangs, or at least "the hood". Took the exit and when I got on the street leading to Harpos all I saw were "brothers". I am not a racist but I do care about my well being so I wasn't liking that. Then driving by Harpos I didn't notice parking and drove to a supermarket a couple of buildings away. Looked at the clientel and thought my car will be gone by time I get back out here. I drove back towards the club and turned in next to it and saw parking in the rear. So glad the crowd was small so I didn't have an issue parking. I may have just left if I would have had to park anywhere else. I was amazed at how big the inside is once you get inside. That floor though (in my mind) sucks. Raise your hands all the way above your head and your wrists hit the stage. I got a spot at the rail above the floor to the right side. Perfect view and I got some great videos. I may post one for you just because of where it is from. I have a cool pic from outside I'll post when I get it to my computer. That was my 19th MRH show and sixth this year. I may get one more chance this year, depends on the weather. Their Xmas show is next month. I may skip it though. 6 times in one year is good I guess.(lol) Take care.

Wow this place is dead! I guess everyone has been busy....... right?

...adorable!

Metal blah blah blah...I can post here... LOL

Hell Yeah!!! \m/\m/

When I clicked Guido's link it took me right to it. When I copied and pasted the other one it took me to a page that gave me websites to choose from. I didn't know what I was looking for. I got bored pretty quick listening to the same thing over and over but you can't deny the guy his skill. I've never seen or heard anyone play that fast. There were a few seconds where I was wondering if it was faked he was playing so fast. Thanks for sharing.

I tried to copy and paste that link to see what that was but it didn't take me to a particular picture it gave me a list of websites to choose from. What is that link to?

@Guido�� ...for me it's pretty much just effect. They only use them part of the time. Here's a video I took from Pittsburgh Thursday night. It's from the balcony and the stage is so small it's a good shot of both drums. I'm not expecting you to like the song just watch the first 2 or 3 minutes. If you do watch the whole song the second part of it is the best.(to me). The song is "43/Kill Tomorrow". This is one of my (more)�favorite songs from these guys. (my last video of these two shows)

This will be the last one unless someone requests one. (yeah' I know ...so this will be the last one right?)(lol) I'm only putting this up in case someone would like to see them without their gear on. "Mushroomhead Unmasked". I got this from the soundcheck.

Hey guys. I went to see MRH Saturday night in Cleveland. I'm sure not too many care about that so don't worry there are no reviews. I'm posting a video though and I'm hoping some here will take the time to watch the first two minutes. The song is "Empty Spaces(pink floyd)/Born Of Desire". The first two minutes (Empty Spaces) features a 7 or 8(?) yr. old kid playing one of the water drums. The kid is so cool and watch him work the crowd. I think this is good stuff. Hope some agree.

I've been there, you should have went to Fallingwater. A stone house built by Frank Llyod Wright for the Kaufmann family. The house is built on top of a water fall. Very cool, also white water rafting is close by.

 The only one stupid on here is Guidodödl and his friends, they write only senseless comments and fucking insults, every day, this has nothing to do with Judas Priest!!

My best friend Boogie on here is gone, he did not stand the fucking insults all the time to him, I miss him extremely, he was a wonderful friend and the greatest Judas Priest fanatic ever, I will never forget him, his hot comments and his high feelings to the stratosphere were unique to Rob and the boys! Guido is a fucking liar on here, he is never the boss, I will bring him on the edge!!!!

Just read that again, ...what??? Confused myself with that one.(lol) Not that it matters but basicaly going uphill the handrail was 6in" lower at the botttom than at the top yet it appeared just the opposite and gave the illusion that the ball was rolling uphill. I really don't understand it.

 THAT´S RIGHT TANIA!! THANK YOU!!!

Went to Laurel Caverns (east of Uniontown Pa.) with my wife yesterday. We were heading for "Cooper's Rock" in West Virginia, saw a sign for "Laurel Caverns" and headed there instead.Turned out to be pretty awesome. The biggest cave in Pa. I've been in caves before but never a mile in. They have more than 3 miles of cave open for exploration. One reason for this post is because of something I have a little trouble understanding. Supposedly in caves you don't have complete control of our senses. An incline may not seem as steep as it is or a hole may be deeper than it appears and so on. At one point we were climbing an incline upwards and came to a hand rail about 8 ft. in length. From the lower point, the handrail looked lower at the upper point and higher at the lowest point. Our guide placed a golf ball at the top (lowest point) and the balled appeared to roll upward to the bottom point. He told us that it was just an illusion and that the rail actually went downward but only appears to go upward. I still don't get it. Had a great day none the less. Anyone?

Why even respond?

That's probably the motivation. Ignore, literally.

Check it out!! 

Rob Halford Simpsons

Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford will be appearing on 'The Simpsons' next year!

Wow... Wow... Wow... Long time, no talk... I don't know where to start.. haha

Recently moved to Texas in July with my (now) 10 month old son and my fiance. "Middle of no-where", Texas, that is. Trying to get everything situated out there, still... Then realized I haven't been on here in ages! But then I noticed how little activity has actually happened on the noticeboard as of late, as well.. I blame Facebook, Twitter, etc. etc. etc.

I'll try to post more on here, but don't hold your breath to long... I work some funky ass hours....

 Every really true fan is on facebook or on other places,  but not on here!!!

This fanpage is really a shame for Judas Priest, here are only the same silly fans how ever....

This will be my last post on this. I found a pic that is better than the description.

The Rangos Omnimax Theater, a four-story, state-of-the-art IMAX® dome theater, is one of only 50 theaters of its kind in North America. It's the biggest screen, and the only dome screen, in the Pittsburgh region. You’ll be in the center of the action!         ...description  found

Went to the "Carnegie Science Center" in Pittsburgh yesterday. The place was much cooler than I anticipated. One of the highlights for me was the "Imax" movie theatre. Watched somthing about a trek of a polar bear and her two cubs. Got bored with that pretty quick but the overall experience was pretty intense. You're sitting in reclined seats in a giant dome theatre. The entire dome is the screen. You focus on the center but so much more is going on. You look above, to the sides, and down to see everything. The sound system booms and some scenes you actually feel as though you are there. I had the sensation of riding in a helicopter over the artic near icebergs and cliffs and you could feel the pull on your body as it backed away or that feeling in your belly as it tilted forward. I have to go back when something�good is playing there. It was too cool.

Republicans don't want anything that helps people that can't help themselves. If you are a billion dollar corporation they will give whatever you need (for political contributions of course). Democrats on the other hand (even though still accepting contributions from billionaire corporations)(for favors) try to help the poor in this country also. This is one reason for our class wars and why the two sides can't get along. Republicans will spend hundreds of billions on unnecessary wars but do not want to help anyone with healthcare. It's an entitlement.

The shutdown isn't really a shutdown. The government is still functioning they just won't fund anything deemed non essential. I'm not completely convinced that's a bad thing. No matter who's side you're on the spending has to be cut. That's why these idiots have to work together. We need compromise from both sides. Neither side can have everything their way but neither side will budge. How can a citizen support this kind of government? Fuck em' both!

@Headbanger. I agree. That's why I'm not too concerned about what's going on. Maybe (even though logic defy's it) the two sides will actually work together to figure this shit out. I'm so distrusting of our government that I don't even know who's side to take. Both sides lie out the ass and the GOP is waging such a fear campaign against "anything" Obama that it's impossible to make judgemet or decisions as to what's right. I hate our goverrnment right now. I hated republicans after G.W. but now it's just goverment period. I never thought highly of our government but right now it's just hatred and distrust.

that's funny

… I see companies that are repackaging and rehashing and that started happening to us and that was not a pretty thing to be a part of. It’s kind of duping the fans a bit because there are fans around the world that have got to have everything to complete their collection so even if there are only a few thousand of them if you put out a box collection it might be $100, which is a lot of dollars, and so for me that is something that I didn’t get into music for.”

...one of my biggest complaints about Priest. I've bitched about it a few times here. Now to hear one of them say it proves I wasn't bitching for nothing.

Glad to hear HRMG got to enjoy Saxon in Michigan. I left for the Cleveland show but I didn't make it. Ended up driving an hour for no reason. Stopped in Boardman and had dinner with the wife. Listened to Saxon all the way home which did nothing for my depression (lol). I still can't believe I haven't seen them yet. I'm not their biggest fan, I never thought alot about Biff's vocals but some of their music is heavy as hell and I can see why some like them so much. I did like their first three albums alot and from HRMG's brief description it sounds like they may have done a bit of the older stuff. If there's ever a next time maybe then. I decided to skip the Otep show next month and at least one of the MRH shows. I joke about it alot but I really do need to cut back a little.

I agree. They have missed the boat on several occasions IMO. Go back to BS Tour, never played BTL,MG's or Rapid Fire and why make a video of Don't Go ? Why not Solar Angels or Desert Plains ? They have never really capitalized on their strong points.

...not trying to go on and on here but I was checking out 100 Years Of Broadway and there is no way I could sit through that. I'll go through your suggestions and look online. I'll figure it out. I really liked the look of that theatre though and thought that would be cool. I've been to Detroit before I just didn't search out anything to do. Went to Cobo Hall to watch Ultimate Fighting and stayed at the Renaissance Center and checked out the Detroit Zoo the day after a Priest show(DTE) but that's it.

I was checking out The Fox Theatre. That place looks cool as hell. Love the decor.  On Nov. 3 they have "100 Years Of Broadway". Not for me but my wife loves that stuff. We went to a couple of shows on cruise ships and she had a blast. She taught dance for 15 years so it's kind of her thing. Her Birthday is that week so maybe I'll see if I can get tickets and surprise her. Mushroomhead on Saturday and 100 Years Of Broadway on Sunday. Now if that isn't a contrast in taste I don't know what is. (lol). Maybe do the riverwalk early in the day. Thanks for the suggestions.(again)(lol)

@Guido, thanks. I'll check the theatres you mentioned for a Nov. 3 show. The riverwalk may be a good idea. We walk every Sunday(5miles) anyway so that would be cool. I'll read your post again and look into some of your suggestions.

@Guido. What would one do in Detroit in November to have fun. May go to Harpo's and would like to find something to do the next day. Pittsburgh has "Station Square" and Cleveland has "The Flats". Entertainment districts with restaraunts, bars, nightclubs, etc. Does Detroit have such an area. Any suggestions. Open to other things also. Nice State parks, etc. Just looking for ideas.

...i was watching "Pawn Stars" a couple of weeks ago and one of the owners was given tickets to this camp as a birthday gift and he got to sing with Roger Daltry of The Who.(his idol). This was the first time that I've heard of it. I told my wife it would be pretty wild if Priest would do it and about two days later I saw Demonizer's post. Very cool!!! 

 It´s just wasted time Tania!!
