OT - Of interest to metalheads only (and Kingston Trio fans)

Nice Ted Nugent Auto. And great story. Waiting outside a radio station to grab an Auto. Been awhile since I posted anything to your amazing thread so my only pick. John Entwistle you can see the wear and he inly played one song with it. Boris the Spider Sept 10 1979 at the Capital Theatre in NJ.
Also from the Capitol Theatre Ted Nugent June 18 1977. The previous Saturday night June 11 I saw Led Zepplin at MSG. Both were outstanding shows and at 16 I was hooked on live Rock and Roll.

My wife picked up my monthly CDs from Music Outlet in Enfield,CT, which is one of the great and enduring record stores. She opened up the Used Cannibal Corpse Gallery of Suicide CD and found a concert ticket and asked me if we were there. I confirmed, yes Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death and Immolation! Decibel Tour 2016. Death to all but metal!

These posters are from a tour in 1994 that started with 23 shows in 23 days in the US, and after 3 "off" days was followed by 43 shows in 44 days in Europe. The day without a show in Europe was because they were "Banned In Bremen".

70 days, 66 shows, 16 states, 14 countries, 35,000 miles.

THAT is how to tour.

Love those guys.

I saw them for the 167th time a year ago yesterday (opening for Slayer) and that was the first time I had seen them with George "singing".

PS - Correction, I just checked my records and saw that earlier that year, they had done 53 shows in a leisurely 58 days around North American. the Toledo poster dates from that run.

Those are awesome ppsters; thanks for sharing.
I love Corpsegrinder but CC's first four albums are still my favorites.

I had 1st row seats for the Who's first show at the Capitol Theatre ( Sadly first shows in US without Kieth Moon) and I see Entwistle getting ready to toss it, I take off and end up wrestling with 3 ir 4 other guys on the floor. All of a suddden I see pick in front of my face but my arms are being held. I relax get up from the scrum the guys are still goung at it and I calmly removed the pick from my mouth.

Ha! Fantastic. That's pretty hardcore, licking the floor of the Capital Theater.

First time I was there I was selling shirts for Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, with Talas (Billy Sheehan) opening.

I don't remember licking the floor, though. Insert smiley face here.

Best I can say is I caught a drumstick at a George Thorogood concert in San Diego in 1986 (with the aid of some pretty good elbows to clear the space, courtesy of a childhood playing hockey in NY) and stuck around afterwards to shake hands with the band at the edge of the stage.
