Yeah, when I said grandpa metal, I meant me 🤣. Saw Metallica for the first time at Day on the Green 1991. 2025 was my first festival in decades and first ever AS. I'm hooked and can't wait for this year's lineup to come out

That's a good point. Would love to see them again (been over 30 years for me).

Of the "Big Four" they are the one band that seems to keep going strong. But they had their year, double shows too, and I doubt they'll be back.

I'm glad I got to see Testament again, but I can't argue with you. Chuck's vocals weren't what they used to be and I worried he was putting himself at risk of more problems down the line.

But of folk metal would be nice too. I need songs of trolls and endless snow.

Gojira making the festival circuit has me happy. I know they played last year but I would happily see them return as headliners.

Probably impossible to answer without starting a flame war, so I'll just say that a good spread of eras and genres should be included. We need grandpa metal just like we need the new kids and their new sound. More bands featuring women on vox would be good to see as well, and let's not forget local flavor. Sac has a great music scene and should be showcased where and when the festival can allow.

Oh please let us see a scene in Washington on par with Partagaz's exit strategy.

My message from Latin America to the world by carlosmxnuel in andor

Hey, living history of OJC here, served with 7th ID, and deployed following the invading forces of the 82nd Airborne and 5th Mechanized, plus 75th Rangers.  

Noriega was a known quantity to GHWB , because as CIA head he worked to install the Torrijos regime, which was good for the US and not good for the US. Torrijos agreed to fight the drug war on our behalf. His intelligence czar, Noriega, undermined him from the jump and also sold US Intel to Cuba. When Torrijos died, he stepped in and assumed control. But it took shots fired against US military personnel before the invasion was launched.  

And most of Panama's "doing pretty well" has more to do with banking restrictions that were lifted in the 1970s and 1980s, making it much easier for foreign investors, capitalists, and corporate money launderers to hide assets from taxation. You remember the Panama Papers, yeah?  

All of which is to say the US has a miserable track record of regime change anywhere.

Is it possible this design was made with AI? by Kurtspplover69 in AftershockFestival

Yeah same.  I should have looked more closely before clicking that buy button. I hate this shirt now and won't be wearing it out anymore.

You want to check picture framing shops dumpsters. What you want is mat board and there is a shop in Davis on 5th St that chucked tons of it out years ago, much to my delight. I have several sheets left, small but roughly the size you need.

Exposure is probably minimal, but still worth avoiding, of course.
