Here's sumotha gig's I've seen. Not all are metal. Once again there's no particular order to the list. Some very memorable events, Like interviewing Henry Rollins in a coffee shop on the "Think Tank" (spoken word) tour. Filming a Jerry Only interview in the dressing room before a gig (man that guy can talk, I think Ace only asked one question...). Meeting Marty Friedman and Nick Menza in their lounge at their hotel, and getting a ride to my motel on a tour bus courtesy Sister Machine Gun. And who could forget Bruce Dickinson, During the Accident of Birth tour Bruce grabbed a crowd surfer, dragged him onstage, then threw him out the backdoor of the bar(yes I said bar) Studebaker's, Burnaby, if I remember correctly. I'll also never forget the Manson/Courtney Love onstage altercation.Good memories with alotta laughs. I'll add the album related to the tour if I can pull their titles from the cobwebbed corners of my misted memories;.
Anyway here goes.....

1. Megadeth - many times,6 I think

2. Iron Maiden - Final Frontier

3. Judas Priest - Nostrodamus

4. Type O Negative - October Rust

5. White Zombie - Astro Creep tour

There is no Order to this list, just added as they come to mind. These are albums I can throw in and listen to in their entirety. Some new some old. Some might be musically instrumentally or vocally untalented, however these albums are still entertaining. I've been called an "Opinionated Bastage" but without opinions, how can we make just decisions?
A few might not be metal, don't hate me, you might like them....
Nuffsaid... check these out if you haven't already.

1. Edge of Sanity - Crimson I and II

2. Venom - Black Metal

3. Exodus - Bonded by Blood

4. Carnivore - Carnivore

5. King Diamond - Voodoo

2. Theatre Of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear

3. Moonspell - Irreligious

4. Samael - Passage
