I haven't listened to the radio in years due to the crap being put out these days as well as hearing the same [Bleeeeep!] all the time. So it is not a matter of disliking a band..

Give me UFO, Rush (early days - 2112 and earlier), Pre-In Justice For All - Metallic, Sabbath (never gets old), et al

My son took me to Pain in the Grass for my 50th a few years back... Slipknot (seen a few times and still a great show), Lamb of God, et al.

Now in my 50's I have been really enjoying the revisit to the small venue thrash scene here in Sacramento. Exodus is still going strong, Dustbolt is a recent favorite I caught at the Exodus show... Even took the wife to see GWAR... Thought the country gal was going to have a heart attack, but she ended up having a blast.

Messhugah in two weeks!

Metal is keeping me young, but I am definitely feeling the pain after a night on the floor. But the same kids I constantly run into at these shows say, "Mad props gramps!" I just laugh....

Life is good in the "right" part of California!
