I've been dying to hear from you how the Dallas show went, thank you, guidogodoy. I am waiting for pictures now, blurry and all
What sucks is that when people pay hundreds of dollars for the meet and greet, they get bullshit over the phone. Absolute crap, that you had to hide your camera!

Do you remember all the songs from the JP set and do you know well Motorhead to tell me which ones they played?
Testament are thrash. They're the coolest thrash around. I remember they weren't so heavy when I first listened to Souls of Black eons ago. They seem to get heavier with the years. (No pun. No pun at all.)

Wishing you a speedy recovery..

		Ok, this might just rank up there with the "most metal thing" I have done (not really) but there is a pretty good story that goes along with the pictures. Obviously, the concert was great. VIP was funny as we got there early and, as many know, Guitardude and I had the great luck of getting seats one apart in row two. We said...sorry for the guy between us. Lo and behold, the first guy we meet? The guy between us!! LOL!!! What the hell kinda luck is THAT?! Still feel sorry for that fellow. Obviously, got a camera into the venue. Called and they told us "no problem" the day of the event but, apparently, they didn't tell the staff as they were really cracking down on cameras. I took 124+ shots but many were blurry because I had to literally "whip it out" (Blazing Saddles, LOL!) and shoot without flash. Damn guys kept moving. At one point, Glenn looked right at me, struck a pose and then mouthed "did you get it?" Sadly, I didn't! Blurry!! Ah well. Testament I had seen before and wasn't really interested but, as I was there, went down and caught their 30 min set. I liked it, actually. Almost flipped off my chair to catch a drumstick they threw, in fact (more on this subject in a sec). JUST missed it. Ah well. MOTORHEAD was freakin' awesome!! I have also seen them many a time but they were right on. Lemmy plays a bass like no one I have ever seen. Down and dirty rock and roll. Great!  I went out to people watch and met some great people. Some from here, some from the Q. People kinda identified me as a Priest fan and just introduced themselves. I got to hold a Glenn pick that someone caught at a previous concert (thinner than I would have imagined). Saw a poster from someone who entered into the poster competition here. HE should have won, IMO. Heaven and Hell was good but, of course, I am a diehard Priest fan. Caught a Tony I pick, though. PRIEST was damn awesome. People have described the set better than I. I was just a headbanging fool. Spot on in vocals and, as always, the guitarwork was outstanding. Ok, now the sad part...as a few of you know, I broke (at least) one rib! LOL!!! Priest fan that I am, I had to get the last shots with my camera at the finale. I stood up on my folding chair to snap a shot over the head of the guy in front of me and WHOOPS, over the back of the chair I went! Wish THAT picture had turned out! Me pointing up at the sky! LOL!!! Hell, those who know ribs know that it is like breaking a toe. Nothing to do but suck it up, eh? Barely hurts when you are dancing on cloud nine! Moral of the story? I'd do it again in a heartbeat!! (I'd just wear better shoes...haaaaa!!!!!!)
