@Guido. It's cool. I didn't know how much you guys spoke so I thought that a couple of questions wouldn't be a bother. I love Marilyn Manson. I've seen him 11 times and I've noticed just how much of a dick he is with bandmembers and crew. I've seen him completely tear up the stage and storm off. I've seen him bounce water bottles off of crew members adjusting mics. I've seen him throw mic stands at guitar players and I really think John 5 was the one. I know I've seen him throw stuff at Twiggy. It makes me curious as to how he feels about that whole experience. Rob Zombie seems so much cooler so he has to be in a better situation now. As for the MRH inquiry my guess would be that he wouldn't even watch them but I know he understands the theatrics side of the music biz and would judge them more than just on their look or act. I really am curious to hear what bands that play with them have to say about them.

...forgot to ask.

Anyone besides me receive an email saying "Judas Priest" doing a concert in your area?

I was thinking to myself "How did I not hear about this?". Opened the email and clicked on to see where. It was San Diego California which unless you're from China is nowhere near me (3000+ miles away) the show was already canceled. WTF?!!

I joke too much about slowing down on the concert thing but I have to be honest about one thing. Age is becoming a factor. I will be slowing down soon even if not by choice.

@Guido. I'm not sure how well you know him or how often you exchange emails but maybe you can ask something for me. How much of a pain in the ass was it working for Marilyn Manson and what does he think about that experience. Secondly they are doing a couple of shows with MRH(openers) and Korn next month in Australia(?). MRH usually doesn't play the bigger shows. Good opportunity for them. See if he has any feedback after. "They sucked", "They were different", he liked them, hated them, whatever. I would like to hear what someone of his caliber has to say about them.

...curious to see what he sends you.

This cutting back on the concerts thing worked

     ...for December.

Went to see In This Moment Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. Going to see MRH in Canton, Ohio next month (8th) and today I just ordered three day passes for Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio. After that I'm definitely slowing down.     ...probably. (lol)

I never watch the Simpsons but I just caught the clip on youtube. Guess I would have to see the whole episode to completely get it but from the comments on youtube I would guess some don't care for it. The biggest complaint�seems to be�the "Death Metal" reference.� ...I copied this from the comments section. fairly typical of the responses.

"The Music Hall Of Fame" isn't worth the time, gas money, or shit.  ...and if I did shit on their steps they would just induct it in the Hall anyway to go along with all the other shit they're putting in.

breakfast club?  

I guess those "higher feelings" are leaving me. I still love Priest but quite honestly it's for what they've "done" not what they're "doing". Let me stress though that my disappointment stems from wanting to hear something out of my favorite band. I also want to stress that I understand their standpoint. These guys are getting up there in age. In the early years they gave everything they could. Every year it was album, tour, and no breaks. They earned the right to take it easy on themselves after a certain point. Something every single one of us hope to acheive. They have a life to live also and as the years pass it gets harder and harder to do what they're doing and find time to enjoy life also. I'm not angry at Priest even though that comes through in some of my posts. I'm just greedy and want as much as I can get out of them. I need to realize that they've given their all and at this stage I just need to be happy that they may give anything. I'll always love these guys but I still need to be entertained and there are others that do that for me so more of my attention goes elsewhere. I thank Priest for what they've given me and I'm OK if there is nothing else.

It's would probably narrow a little quicker if Rob fans would quit voting for Ronnie (lol) but it's 60/40 right now.

I never vote in these "Vs." polls/contests but I decided to throw a vote towards Rob for the latest one mentioned here. I don't think Rob has a chance against a dead man. Not trying to be callous but every dead musician is remembered as greater than he was so I expect that to boost Ronnie here. I've seen Ronnie James Dio many times since 1980 and he isn't any better than Rob yet he is killing him in this poll/contest. (76% to 24%)

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.

Go to loudwire.com and vote for Rob Halford as greatest frontman!  Til Lindemann is beating him by 1%!  Let's Defend The Faith!!!!
