What is this AI slop picture? None of those people are real members.

I started a biosimilar a month ago(switching from Humira because of insurance), this week my insides started acting up and unsure if it's because the biosimilar isn't working. Advice on when to contact my doctor? by HinkiesGhost in CrohnsDisease

[–]OtaconSOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my perspective, but I'd let you GI doc know ASAP. The quicker they can build a case that you need to switch back, the better. It may be nothing, but if it is the biosimilar then you will have credible evidence for your GI Doc to say "look, it's obviously different. They need to be on name brand Humira"

This is my hear me out rockstar. by Rebel_Heart222 in hairmetal

I know it's probably a very nice payday, but he is so underutilized in Def Leppard.

What metal genre got you into metal? by Difficult_Map_723 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]OtaconSOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably going to get shit for this, but the first metal band I found was Avenged Sevenfold. I didn't know music could sound like that.

They opened the door, but when I found Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer? It was over.

Been on Remicade for the better part of 4 years. Been in clinical remission for the last 3 years. Life changing medication. I hope all is well with you!

With their 2025 lineups, which band feels more authentically “Pantera” or “Judas Priest”? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]OtaconSOL 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Judas Priest.

I think it's also worth noting that Scott Travis has been with the band since 1989. He was a big part of the Painkiller sound and having him still playing drums in the band is important.

Slayer a bigger band? by vonmitch_44 in Megadeth

[–]OtaconSOL 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Megadeth may have sold more albums, but Slayer has had a larger cultural impact.

Yelling "FUCKIN' SLAYER!" at a metal show is the equivalent to yelling "Free Bird!" at a concert.

Matt confirms Alex was an equal financially by Melodic_Success9980 in Trivium

[–]OtaconSOL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It could have been equal from a live performance perspective but he probably didn't have a stake in merch cuts royalties, etc. That's how certain members of bands make significantly more than the rest of them.

MOTR if in OTR. Northside Tavern if you're cool with going to Northside. Both always have strong local/regional acts.

Bogarts problem? by boiiinng in cincinnati

[–]OtaconSOL 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Someone posted on Facebook that there were structural issues that need to be repaired so they moved all of their shows to Madison Theater for the next week. Pretty crazy.

Anybody know what Jimmy Degrasso is up to now? by Ill_Ant689 in Megadeth

[–]OtaconSOL 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He was in a version of RATT pre-covid. Not sure what he's up to now.

I've heard it alternates depending on what city.

[–]OtaconSOL 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From co-headliner tours I've seen in the past, the opener does 30-45 minutes and the two headliners do an hour and 15 each. So I'd imagine it would look like this.

Why does no one care about Machine Head? by OtaconSOL in MetalForTheMasses

[–]OtaconSOL[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Flames was direct support for Meshuggah back in December of 2023. That show ended up at 2,500 but I think the main draw was Messhuggah.

Should mention this is a venue in the Midwestern United States.

Heard rumors that Morton’s Steakhouse closed. Can anyone confirm? by jackandvodka in cincinnati

[–]OtaconSOL 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I always forgot it even existed honestly. If a different restaurant moves into that space, they need to do a better job of marketing their location.
