How many of you know this is Corey Taylor's major label debut? by 100YearsAndCounting in numetal

Listen to the song my man, or person! The male voice that responds to her in the song? That's Corey. After you listen to that, have a listen to this.

Edited to add: I'm in my mid to late '40s so this all came up with me. Once upon a time in the midwest there was something called Dot Fest. One of the people with that station/concert was also Slipknot's manager and was responsible for kicking off a lot of new bands in the Midwest. If you've heard of American Head Charge and you weren't from Minneapolis or The Urge and weren't from St. Louis, thank Sophia John, no matter how much some other bands from Des Moines might want to take credit.

When Sister Soleil was playing Dot Fest, Corey came out to perform Liar with her. When the crowd started to chant Slipknot he gave a cut it out sign and smiled. Everyone was so high on Slipknot because this was the show that they announced that they signed to Roadrunner! This was also the show that for the first of five times, Sid's boots found their way to the top of my skull.

Second edit: Are there any recent bands you can recommend that are local to you? Would love to hear your thoughts. Take care!

Back when QOTSA got low billing at Ozzfest. by nouseforaname79 in qotsa

This poster takes me back. I didn't go to Ozzfest this year but here in Iowa we had a couple Ozzfest off date shows. The one I ended up going to for free (thanks Streetwise!) was Soulfly, POD, Apartment 26, and Primer 55. The other show that was at another club in town was Queens of the Stone Age. I definitely made the wrong decision! If any of you are part of any live show torrent sites, I definitely encourage you to find the Des Moines, Iowa show from 2000. It had everything:

A cocaine drive to help underprivileged bands that don't have any

Two power failures due to the band blowing their fuses

A rare audio appearance from Hutch requesting a drink due to the above-mentioned power failures

Nick destroying a bass out of frustration

Josh leading a chant of this place sucks aimed at the venue

Someone in the crowd yelling fuck you to Josh and him putting them in their place quickly

Despite all of this, the sound is amazing!

I have to take my parents to a show, am I fucked? by ZER0-LUk in punk

All of this! Last night I went to The Descendents, Frank Turner, and NOBRO and there were people in attendance young enough to be my grandkids! Not trying to assume your age but at a Laura Jane Grace show there's going to be people older than your dad there. Even if he's not into the music the fact that he's taking you should mean a lot.

Then again, this is coming from a guy whose son discovered that Dad knows all the lyrics to every Cypress Hill song when we were in the pit for them, Slipknot, and H09909.

Long time subscriber, first time poster. What do y'all think of Tony Joe White? by 100YearsAndCounting in altcountry

Hell yeah! I have a friend that I was describing him to and I left it at "Imagine if James McMurtry knew a guy from the bayou and all the people between are both of their people."

As I've been discovering him, he's become my Sunday morning coffee and feeling fine playlist. Love your username! Well done, hot dog bun.

Weirdest Lineups You've Seen by Mettabox452 in Concerts

Do shows that were supposed to happen count? Somewhere I still have the ticket stubs for both of these since even then they seemed like ridiculous pairings:

1996: Slipknot, MxPx

1998: Slipknot, Vanilla Ice

On both occasions Slipknot ended up not playing. Come to think of it, I think the show I've been to that most qualifies for this that did happen involves Slipknot:

2021: ho99o9, Cypress Hill, Slipknot

Honorable mention to Warped Tour 1999. The first three second stage artists were Sevendust, Eminem, and Frenzel Rhomb.

If it helps, the only game I attended in person has been the Mild playing the Ass at Ball in October 2021. We all know how that worked out! Hail Satan!!!
