If I give you a courtesy follow back and you don’t know me, (meaning you are not followed by someone I follow, don’t actually know someone that knows me ‘in real life,’ or you haven’t met me face to face anywhere), please do not immediately DM me upon me following you and try to manufacture familiarity. I’ve studied up on some psychology, so I don’t fall for it. I’m also not interested in your cryptocurrency scams. In fact, for a living, I have a role as a cybersecurity expert for a large and continually growing financial institution; so I’m really not the mark you’re hoping for. Might want to unfollow me now and save me the hassle of having to apply my professional skills in my personal time. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

@DaveMacLachlan1 Maybe I’m Amazed.

Song Cage Match: Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney or Imagine by John Lennon?

@HELLSBELLS828 My mom used to make potato pancakes. Whether from left over mashed potatoes or fresh made, I never knew. But I freaking loved them!

Did anyone else’s mother make potato pancakes out of left over mashed potatoes? I hated those damn things!!! What weird dish did your mother wwith leftovers?

@RockNRoLL_85 Wild Side.

Wild Side or Live Wire?

@VintageRockN_85 Bob Seger and it’s not remotely close.

Bruce Springsteen or Bob Seger?

@RnRNationlive I love that album. I literally wore out the cassette in the summer and fall of 1985. I still listen to it front to back fairly regularly.

How do you like this album? Year: 1985 #RattBand ALBUM: Invasion of your privacy Do you like it, yes or no? Follow us! #Heart / #Comment/ #Retweet #Twitter / #X @RnRNationlive

@JVMonte2 Ratt. “Out of the Cellar” was freaking fantastic. But, “Invasion of Your Privacy” was just as good, if not a smidge better. Not a skippable track on the whole album in my opinion.

Whose second album was just as good, if not better than their first?

@dustinpari The Hamburgler is a classic from my childhood. The Noid came along when I was in my later high school era. The Hamburgler is more fun for me. I even had a drinking glass with him on it as a kid. So it’s the Hamburgler for me!

Who is your fast food villain of choice out of these two? 🍕 🍔

@LesPurves KISS: Alive II

Top live album. No debate: UFO – Strangers in the Night Thin Lizzy – Live and Dangerous Aerosmith – Live! Bootleg KISS – Alive II All killer, all different flavors of ’70s hard rock. Gun to your head—one pick. #70sRock #LiveAlbums #ClassicRock #ThinLizzy #UFO #Aerosmith #KISS #VinylCollection

The vocals were not good. Off key and disappointing. Low energy, too. They just seemed to be “phoning it in.” I suppose it could’ve been partially due to the soundboard mix. I know they’re older, so they can’t be expected to sing in the old key. But I’ve seen Night Ranger several times and though they may sing in a lower key, they still sing well and their shows are tight and energetic. They always play like they are having as good a time as the audience and they seem like they’d not rather be anywhere other than in that venue, on that date, performing for that audience. Energy and attitude goes a long way.

@its_The_Dr I actually saw Air Supply at EPCOT ten years or so ago. I left halfway through. It wasn’t good. And that’s a shame because I actually really liked them. I had their greatest hits on cassette. Back in the day, they were great for some serious slow dancing at school dances!

Let’s Check in on Air Supply…. Do you remember this one?

@james_xond Nope. It would be helpful. But not “life changing.”

Do you consider $900K as life-changing money? Be honest, please.

@24tog 28.

20 ! What about you?

@lippyent My first remote controlled TV had one of those clicker remotes!

What is heavy forwards but not backwards? A ton.

@GenTXer2 Kansas.

Can you identify this 70s band? 🤔

@VintageRockN_85 A.

Which pair of Rock Classics win?

@ThrillaRilla369 Well, since I don’t drink and I never have (never been drunk before), and I don’t take drugs of any kind - including cold meds and such - and I don’t even ride in a car with someone who has had any alcohol…I can honestly say I’ve never had a DUI and never will have a DUI.

Who can honestly say they have never had a DUI I'll wait

Night Ranger (more than 30 times) Iron Maiden (7 times) Alice Cooper (8 times with tickets to 2 more next month) Jimmy Buffett (I lost count…but a lot - several dozen times) Starship (multiple times) The Rippingtons (multiple times) Kenny G (twice) Bon Jovi (twice) Kool & The Gang Rob Base & DJ Easy Rock Richard Elliot Tom T. Hall (countless times) Alabama (twice) Sheila E. Hurricane Prince Slaughter Tesla Firehouse Stryper (8 times) Holy Soldier Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart Petra Steelheart Twisted Sister Cinderella (twice) The Beach Boys Meat Loaf Warren Hill Quiet Riot (twice) Ted Nugent Boys II Men (but unfortunately not when they were good) Jim Brickman Berlin (twice) Russ Freeman & David Benoit Spyro Gyra Rick Springfield (3 times) Garth Brooks Styx (4 times) Buster Poindexter & His Banshees of Blue (great show!) Huey Lewis & The News (twice) I could go on. These are just the first 41 that immediately came to mind. Loop in bands I’ve seen but that didn’t immediately jump to mind, bands some/most people here wouldn’t have heard of, cover/tribute bands, and/or bands that were local where I lived, and this list stretches on for a long, long time. But this list shows I’ve been to more than 20 concerts by more than 20 separate bands.

Yes or No: You’ve been to 20+ concerts in your lifetime.

@METAVERZUZ Heck yeah. Shoot, I’ve been to more than 20 concerts for just one group. Add on other groups and the count has to be close to 100.
