    Helloween & Gamma Ray

    I think this one is really underrated. And the way the solo swirls around itself is just fantastic!

    Metallica

    Me too, in my own hometown. Mine as well. And Dokken! I didn’t stick around for Van Hagar’s headlining set. Me too! Also a great show. Never saw another Metallica show after those, because they were unlikely to top themselves. Almost went to M72 as a farewell performance, but I balked at...

    The Oval Office meeting with the folks from South Africa was a shit show, as expected… https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cpqe7rp388vt

    USA Politics

    It doesn’t seem like this was always an issue. To me it seems like we sometimes get an over-the-top provocateur or two who suddenly become very active in these threads, stirring up bad feelings, and eventually they wander off or calm down and things return to normal. Except lately they haven’t...

    Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

    I never got the full story from her, but there was something about ban threats that she felt she never got a proper explanation for, and at a certain point she just pulled up her stakes and left. Admittedly, she did violate posting rules on a regular basis…

    If you don’t understand the humorous relationship between the phrase “don’t let the terrorists win” and U.S. politics, then perhaps you need to do some more research before commenting in this thread. Also, even if you took it at face value, where did I say that all those who disagree with me...

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna206103 So when are we going to get some justice for Dean Phillips, who called for this back when it was still possible to have a full, open primary, and was willing to sacrifice his position in Democratic leadership to try to jump start that effort?

    Don’t let the terrorists win. Seriously. The only way to introduce more sanity into the situation is to stick around and push back on the nonsense, rather than letting the loudest and most obnoxious voices in the room drown everyone else out.

    …or those types of responses have already been provided, then summarily ignored, or dismissed as “not worthy of a response”, or “whataboutted” by people who aren’t interested in having an actual conversation so many times that further engagement becomes pointless. Have you also “observed” which...

    He often peppers these sorts of caveats into his comments during the panel discussion, so they don’t wind up in the clickbaity clips, but they are there when people have the full context. I think a lot of the people complaining about Maher are either seeing clips from Club Random, where he’s...

    I probably wind up agreeing with Maher about 75-80% of the time, and I can totally relate to his observation that he’s stayed in the same place while many of his more left-leaning friends have gotten more and more progressive over time, leading to the conclusion that he’s somehow swung to the...

    Bruce Dickinson

    So interesting to hear the continued hatred for Mandrake, when for me it’s just a very middle-of-the-road record. I’d take Mandrake over TM or BTP any day of the week.

    I’ve never listened to this album

    Yes, let’s remember that it only feels like an eternity when you listen to Virtual XI — it’s not actually an eternity.
