And I’m still officially in shock! When Bop mentioned the gig was happening, I assumed I wouldn’t be going. But then Brother Craig got the tickets and gave no choice, and work gave me the day off, and my folks agreed to help with the kids, and now here we are! I celebrate my good fortune, on this one!

There will indeed be much headbanging. And I will definitely lose my WOO! register in my voice. My hand may also cramp from all the metal horns. We’ll see.
Yup I’m super-thrilled to get to go. I didn’t think it was gonna happen but here we are. Just found out my days off request was approved so we won’t have to rush back that night!

I was kinda a fuddy duddy with Anthrax as I bought State of Euphoria and that album did nothing for me as whole.
Having said that that rap tune they did was real good but I just could not get into them until when they got John Bush and that first album was wicked ..(my brother had the cassette it was good )
Kinda weird as I dug em with the second singer more but I dunno..
Guess I’m Anti Social when it comes to Anthrax! haha
Come to think of it there cover versions are real good ..haha

I quite like how metal bands tend to put some solid effort into their band name fonts (as demonstrated by the 5 acts on this bill) – enjoy the show!

I agree… up to a point. Some of those black metal band logos are illegible to us mere mortals. Only our venerable HMO can read them!
Will indeed enjoy the show! \m/ \m/ That’s 5 top acts for $63 per seat ($80 with tax) total. Man, my Maiden ticket was $120. I’m not complaining. I got to see Maiden on the AMAZING Book Of Souls tour so it was worth every penny, as we all well know. But to get all 5 of those bands for that price on Slayer’s final tour is pretty freaking sweet.
