This Is Metal

Returned from the @Megadeth #BehindTheMask screening. New tunes are solid but event overall quite underwhelming. It’s a single @DaveMustaine interview/infomercial sprinkled with amateurish videos that overstays its welcome almost immediately.

@ThatEricAlper The first I saw #Kyuss We had no idea who they were Jan 1993 opening for @FaithNoMore To say it changed us forever is an understatement

What concert left you feeling like a completely different person on the way out? Not necessarily the biggest show, just the one that meant the most.

@JustRockContent My fave track from #RATT #OutOfTheCellar 🤘

“In Your Direction” - RATT

Have always loved #UseMy3rdArm 🤘 Happy Anniversary to @Pantera #FarBeyondDriven Such great memories of this time & living just up the street from Dime & Vin Turn this one up loud today!

Rawking with the @sternpinball @Metallica Remastered pin at @TXPinball festival this weekend 🤘

@mitchlafon Easily @myMotorhead 🤘

Name a band/artist whose worse album is still pretty darn good.

Happy #StPattysDay weekend! Good times with @vhxband Two of my fave things are @VanHalen & #crawfish So how about a Sam & Dave tribute & a Crawfish eating #contest at @TheRevelBar ?!

@priyapandaxo Where was this?! I just saw them last Friday in @BossierCity on my birthday 🤘

Best night ever. My favorite band. This is insane!

A quick personal update to my friends and fans. About 2½ years ago I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Last week I had robotic surgery at Mount Sinai, NYC. I’m grateful to say the surgery was successful and I’m sharing this to raise awareness. 🌐 rockedmag.com
