Man, it sucks to be sick, especially when I'm trying like hell to enjoy some time off. Got hit with a raging cold out-of-the-blue. Bottom line...I've been down! Anyway, in an effort to keep myself entertained (and get myself off the couch every hour or so), I started going through my...

Had the opportunity to see this custom line-up show last night. What a real treat getting to see this caliber of show without having to travel. Guess it was kind of a warm-up show for the annual South Texas Rock Fest taking place in San Antonio tonight. It was a very well-organized show that...

Thought I would share...always nice to have some samplers...and doom metal goes so well in the cold, dreary winter... http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=75410

This discussion frequently comes up (amongst the few metal-educated people I banter with), and it always spurs hilarious conversations...so I put it to the PPUSA masses... What are some of the poorest decisions made in metal? Discuss...debate. First obvious one that usually comes up...

Sittin' here groovin' to BCC and thinking about real rock played by real people with real instruments, real inpiration, and real passion...which could be another topic altogether. Anyway...other satisfying projects like Blue Murder and Chickenfoot come to mind. Without elaborating...

In 2011, we are going to be (already are being) inundated with superheroes in the mass media. I just came up with a new superhero who spends all his time righting the wrongs on the internet. What's his name?

Someone commented in another thread about how prevalent Carry On is as a song-title in metal. I was just listening to a tune called Blood Money (Joe Lynn Turner...not Overkill), and I was just thinking about all the cliched or overused song titles in metal. Thinking back, these are a few that...

I posted about The Dirt in the Now Reading forum and the fact that I really enjoyed the shit out of it. Surprised I never picked it up years ago, but I think it was actually more fun to read 9 years later after seeing what the Crue has become (at least through the eyes of VH-1, etc.)...haha...

After seeing the wealth of info provided when Glenn asked for home theater info (I took notes for myself), I figured I would bring this question to the faithful... In an effort to consolidate and organize their music collection and ease their listening experience, I am thinking about buying my...

I posted in the Old School forum as well, but I know there's a bunch of eccentric, old-fart collectors (like me) here that may be able to help. Or...maybe someone with some more web-savvy skills (than I) can find what I'm seeking. ---------------- Reaching out to the masses here to see...

Reaching out to the masses here to see if anyone has a digital copy of an off-beat rock gem. The band is called Garfield (also known as Garfield French (singer), or The Garfield Band), the album is Out There Tonight from 1977, and, specifically, the closing song on that album is a melancholy...

Alright...let's play a game... This was inspired by some recent ribbing that I received after a few fellow rock/metal fans went digging through the bowels of my collection... What bands and/or albums do you have that you feel truly alone and/or isolated in appreciating?...for whatever...

I see that Platinum passes go on sale 1/15 and are limited to 30... Any preliminary info on what those passes will entail and what the cost will be? Rock on!

I know that a lot of the Houston faithful peruse this forum...so... If you don't already have some heavy plans for tonight...or even if you do...go to the Scout Bar and see Candlemass with Daylight Dies supporting tonight. What a great show...I'm sitting in my hotel room in San Antonio trying...

Just curious as to the Christmas music that's polluting everyone's ears and rocking your savage metal soul in this time of giving and peace...hehe... In this metalhead's collection, here's some of the gems I have: TSO (obviously a must for any metal fan...) Twisted Sister (don't laugh...

Don't know if I missed it, but Glenn usually has some sort of feedback over who's expected to hang out during the festival, who's arriving late, who's leaving early, etc. Over the years, our group has been fortunate to get to personally know bands like Stride, Mercenary. Over the years, I've...

This band has always been outside my radar, and I just recently started checking them out to see if I had been missing something. Thanks to copious amounts of song samples on the CM site, I'm digging this band...I have been missing out indeed. Does anybody have album recommendations for a new...

Alright, who's going to have this Euro release for sale? I'm chomping at the bit to score it and I don't want to wait for August for the domestic release... Anyone? Anyone? Rock on!

This may be old news, but it's new to me... While cruising around, I found a listing for Mechanical Poet's "Creepy Tales For Freaky Children" album. I loved the Woodland Prattlers album, which I believe Ken Golden still has in stock... Can't find anyone that has any stock of the new one but...
