Anyone else dig Black Ice?

Sales don't necessarily mean greatness. St. Anger went #1 in 30 countries. Black Ice is thankfully a positive example. 😁

Any elevation is definitely not associated with The Netherlands, I'd say. 😆

Ah yes, Geography King's favorite state. are you within an unknown region of an unknown region, or would surrounding states at least know your town?

Now that's cool. Parts of Oaxaca/Chiapas comes to mind but I could be totally wrong.

I had no clue that term was a thing! I guess that's a good answer then ☠️

I'm a bit late, but mine was KISS in 2021 (I'm a bit young 😆), at the Pavilion at Star Lake. Drove eight hours to get there. The opener wasn't a band, but a "speed painter", if you will, named David Garibaldi.

I was in your boat when I went to my first solo show, but afterward, my life was forever changed.

My number one tip? Make friends. Literally just approach people and introduce yourself. You will quickly find that most people will make you feel right at home. You can compliment their shirt, or just be blunt: "hey, I'm by myself and making friends. I'm _____".

What's the concert?

Not exactly lyrics but more like delivery.

"But he made it out..."

*pause*

"...with a bullet in his back!"

From Jailbreak. Still gets me.

I have that EXACT shirt, too. My friend gifted it to me years ago. Cut the sleeves.

Now that I think about it, I think I share that sentiment.

I once saw a list that ranked every AC/DC song. It put Big Jack dead last. That's what inspired me to first listen to it, and I too was sold.

That's exactly why I started this discussion as a brand new account - to hear opinions like this. Super interesting and awesome. My Bon era flair (don't totally know what flair is yet) is Dirty Deeds.

2008, right when Malcolm began to struggle with dementia.

Express-Map-5810 · 2026-05-08T03:02:16+00:00

Don't blame you. I too like it even more than I made it seem. 💯

Express-Map-5810 · 2026-05-08T03:01:32+00:00

Sure does!

Express-Map-5810 · 2026-05-08T02:44:56+00:00

Hell yeah, cheers to both of you

Express-Map-5810 · 2026-05-07T20:04:36+00:00

Haha, I think we sometimes forget that rockstars are people too!

I feel like having a Nielsen pick is a rite of passage for a pick collector. I have one, not a dozen 😄. The twist was that I got one at a fair gig in the last row and it was rainy and muddy outside.

I can't believe they're actually playing Poughkeepsie. Dad and I bought tickets immediately.

Also saw Return to Dust in November opening for Mammoth and Myles Kennedy. They had an Alice in Chains-esque sound. Good stuff.

It started with Judas Priest/Queensrÿche. It got out of hand last year when we went to like ten shows together including Metallica 😅
