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

Glad to hear it. Hate when I hear bad things about musicians I respect. Love the stories about Lemmy and Dio always making time for the fans. They got it.

My God that's an awesome story. That's exactly what I was talking about.
Thanks for sharing.

Doug, love these stories! I'm a little younger (49) so I missed the early 80's stuff live. Also I was broke as hell during high school so just went to parties and local clubs when I could roadie for friends bands and get in for free. Didn't start going to lots of bigger shows until the early 90's.

I just recently realized that the first time I saw Slayer was the San Berdo show that they recorded for Decade of Aggression. Only took me almost 30 years to figure that out!

That's a really cool story.

I only saw him once, and must have caught a bad night. (Mob rules tour, so yeah maybe not such a good night for him.)

I wish.

The closest I've ever came was Metallica covering them.

Nice. Speaking of, got any early Metallica stories to share? I ordered the "Murder in the Front Row" dvd (already have the book), can't wait to get it.

I grew up in Downey about a mile from Ron's house where they had their practices in the early days. Didn't know it at the time, found out way later. When I saw his yearbook come up for auction I had to have it. As a bonus, my best friend's older sister who I had a childhood crush on is in it!

That's pretty cool.

Murder is a GREAT book, I'm tempted to say "Trivia quiz : how many times is Doug pictured?"

I have the DVD on pre-order...
