 That woud have been quite a while ago, but our dollar at one point was worth 60 cents US.  so, you would need a shitload of change to turn a profit if someone took it at par.  smaller places that used to happen and was a big draw.  now our dollar is almost worth the same as yours so the benefit of crossing the boarder is only seeing more bands I guess.  oh and weaker beer.

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

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)

HAAAAA!!!! You KNOW Harpos! I know the exact market you did your "Detroit turn" on and glad you found the parking lot. Look at my 'vacation pics' and you'll see that I spun around in the same lot.
As I said before, I park on the street but RUN! Never had a problem (knock on wood).

Mecca of metal, mon ami. Glad you survived! Of course, I'd be glad to see any photos you want to share.

[Budred] Tuesday, November 05, 2013 3:12:50 PM 

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.

[Budred] Tuesday, November 05, 2013 1:51:00 PM 

@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.

[guidogodoy] Tuesday, November 05, 2013 12:15:46 PM 
Well, I sure have been busy! Fall is here and is the busy time for the chimney sweep. Hell, I've had three of my "climbing boys" stuck in as many flues this month alone!

Hell of a time getting them out of there. If only those six-year-olds would pay closer attention to their training.

It's the "war" is against the rising stray cat population here and the ever-increasing amount of cat poop in the garden. The locals' solution? Place milk gallons filled with water in strategic areas. It's supposed to deter the felines from pooping anywhere near said areas.

I've seen these gallons in flower beds. I've never seen so many placed at the edge of the lawn. Just HAD to take a pic.

Does it work? Eh, not really. Those gallons were there since earlier this week and I can still smell some cat poop from their direction.

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.

Huh, interesting effect. While you were right in that it is not my particular cup of tea, the crowd seemed really into it (and, yes, the bandmembers almost seemed to trip over one another!). Those water drums must be strong as one guy had a foot on one and the bass player had his instrument IN the water. Perhaps no water left but still didn't seem right to be putting an electric guitar in water.

Hey, he lived. Cool effect, as I said. Especially from the angle you captured.

@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)

I agree. That kid looked like he was having a blast!

Does the water drum have any special effect in terms of percussion other than looking cool (and probably dampening the sound?).

 I was sitting in the Walmart parking lot a while back listening to the radio with the windows down because the weather was nice. They played a song by Mushroomhead so I cranked it up pretty loud and it sounded good. Got a few strange looks though. Ha! Can't remember the name of the song.
[Budred] Monday, October 28, 2013 11:58:24 AM 

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.

Halloween is coming up, a holiday my mom seldom celebrates. A few months ago she decided to sell dental insurance on the side. Today, she comes up with the idea of handing out flyers for dental insurance to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. In addition to the candy.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Is it possible for one to do both at the same time?

Frank Lloyd Wright played a lot with that idea. There is a fountain on the campus of Wayne State (Detroit) where the water seemingly runs uphill. MARVEL of engineering. While I know that he and Yamasaki both designed buildings on that campus, I don't think he did the fountain. Still. Amazing little sucker. Must have a cave underneath.

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?

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

[Budred] Monday, October 14, 2013 5:26:10 AM 

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.

Those prices seem totally absurd to me. I don't know what your tax rates are, but here about 1/3 of your income (depending how much you earn, it's on a scale) goes to tax (PAYE system so it's money you never see). It ensures that our public health system is funded, and while it has it's problems (long waiting lists in some areas) I'm glad that I didn't have to fork out anything for Craigs surgery last year, or for my pre and postnatal care, and my c-section (from figures I've seen that would be nearly a years wages for some people in the US). Ada sees the doctor for free  (meaning fully funded) until she's 6, her vaccinations that are on the schedule are funded and her dental care until she is 18 is funded. I have never had to pay for a prescription for her yet (so many nappy rash creams, argh lol). I don't understand why the USA, who see's itself as the bastion of all that is good in the world (as flawed as that view may be), cannot provide something similar for it's people??? I don't like political talk either, cos it can step on so many toes, but man that all seems so fucked up to me.

Not to get too much into politics (never a discussion I openly embraced on this site), you have both arguments pretty-well laid out right below. Our healthcare system is absolutely absurd. Affordable? HA! Good example is what I just experienced. I have a local hospital two blocks away. I get health insurance as part of my job. However, the local hospital just flipped to another insurance company meaning that they no longer accept my insurance. "Out of Network" prices mean that I pay 40% vs. the insurance paying 60%. That is on TOP of basic co-pays. In any calendar year, whether a hospital or doctor accepts my insurance or not, I have an immediate base doctor copay of $450 + $1500 = $2000. That is out of pocket expense. Now, a procedure or any exam easily surpasses that in the USA. So, I am also forced to pay 40% ON TOP of the $2000. A procedure that costs $7000 - easy to rack that up with one day in a hospital - and you can do the math. If I travel to a hospital that now does take my insurance, I still have to pay the $2000 per calendar year + 10% for an "in network" procedure. Still, $2700. That does not include visits to a regular doc (about $30 per visit copay) or a specialist ($45 copay). Of course, a doc usually wants to see you both before and after any sickness or procedure so there is more $ as a doc usually refers you to a specialist for anything they can't handle. $30 for the regular doc to refer you to a specialist (who wants to see you both before and after) + meds and you get the picture.

Healthcare is a broken system in the USA and one if not THE #1 way people go into deep debt. Break an arm WITHOUT insurance? Good luck. Most lose an entire paycheck + WITH insurance.

Oh yes. All (perhaps save for Politicians) all have "healthcare insurance" taken out of their paycheck every month as well. I don't even see that $ and it is not considered a tax. It is a deduction from gross salary. Taxes are quite another thing. After all, the country runs the biggest debt in the world and government spending is out of control. Someone would have to pay for healthcare for those who are too poor, don't qualify or can't get health insurance through their jobs for one reason or another. Thus, greater insight on both Bud and Guitardude's comments.

Screw the 2 party system! Both sides have their heads up their asses.

Fuck`em both is the best analogy. The Obmamacare bill is outrageous and really isn`t anymore affordable than what has been in place .Except for the poor , maybe it`s better. But he`s doing his best to make us all poor. His agenda against this country becomes more apparent everyday.
Republicans support big business because they put people to work. Dem`s just want us all to depend on them for everything. Of course you are right about funding and supporting wars. Just part of their conflicting ideals. Save money and defend our country, not everyone else`s!
[Budred] Thursday, October 03, 2013 2:55:55 AM 

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!

[Becks] Thursday, October 03, 2013 1:30:40 AM 
Why don't they want it? I thought better access to affordable health care would be a good thing, like most other countries have.

Democrats and Republicans (our only two main political parties) disagree about Obama's new health plan: Republicans don't want it and Obama won't negotiate.

@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.

… 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.

Baxtergate is OVER!! Priest obviously paid off Baxter, but there were no details of the settlement disclosed. But at least this bullshit is OVER and Rob can finally kick that POS to the curb where he belongs!!!
