Helmet and Prong are playing Detroit on May 19. I'm hoping the local tattoo shop has time for a walk-in. Two birds with one awesome rock n roll stone.

I just heard that the Stones are going to tour the UK this month and June (their first since 2006). These guys have been around for 56 years! 56! That is un-freakin-belive-able!
What a career! What a band! Keith, I can't believe you are still alive! Keep on truckin', man!

And one of my favorite Stones clips. 1981 during their Tattoo You Tour. They just showed up at a Muddy Waters show in Chicago at the Checkerboard Lounge (Buddy Guy's place, long gone now). They sat down at a table in front of the stage, watched the show for a while, then came on stage and played with him. Muddy was one of their idols! So cool! The cast of characters that come and go during the clip is something to see. A great time capsule of the early 80's.
Long live The Stones!
Thanks for the vid Jim. I have always liked Waters. (But his work with Pink Floyd was quite a career diversion! LOL)
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Thanks! They're my all-time favourite. Their post-reunion records are OK at best but they still play a lot of classics live. Page Hamilton is pushing 60 and still brings it live.
Livenation.ca had a $20 ticket promotion. I bought four tickets for Slayer for $80 total. Bands are Napalm Death, Testament, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Slayer. I've paid more than $20 for Napalm Death alone. VERY excited to be able to walk down the street for this.
That's pretty amazing considering the lineup! I never saw Napalm Death live, unfortunately... although I came close once when I was fifteen and they were going to play at our tiny local punk/hardcore/metal hangout (this was back in '89 when they were still relatively unknown - I think they'd only released Scum at the time). But their gig was cancelled, unfortunately. I saw a lot of punk and hardcore bands there back in the day... mostly from the UK but Greenday also played there before anyone had heard of them in Europe (probably in 1992). Fun times...
I just saw Ghost at the Fillmore in Detroit last night and they were fantastic. They bring out a strange crowd which was to be expected but an absolutely awesome show.
Can't wait to see these guys again sometime down the line.
Wraine of Pints N Quarters Gaming!

Opening night on their new tour (May 17th). They still got it! Mick is 74, Keith is 74, Charlie is 76 and Ronnie is 70! Incredible! Mick looks like he could run a marathon! I hope and pray I am that fit at 74! Keith is laboring, but it's a damn miracle he is still alive, let alone playing stadium shows! Ronnie looks way younger than his age, especially considering the amount of alcohol he has consumed in his life. Charlie... what can you say. That guy could play in his 90's and still never miss a beat!
I'm going to see Cheap Trick this week. I saw Rod Stewart 2 months ago.
Going out of state in a week for a festival.

I love watching electronic music being played live, here's a good example:
This is not as polished a performance as on the album (which is also a live recording) which I posted recently in the Now Playing thread, but still so good and soulful.

I've got tickets to see Alexisonfire in July. Can't wait. Hard to believe it's been 6 years since they toured last.

I highly recommend folks watch the Worakls performance above. It's always great seeing an orchestra paired with a difference music genre, but this was also very enjoyable to watch cause the musicians are getting into it and visibly enjoying themselves. It was great!
