breakfast club?  

I guess those "higher feelings" are leaving me. I still love Priest but quite honestly it's for what they've "done" not what they're "doing". Let me stress though that my disappointment stems from wanting to hear something out of my favorite band. I also want to stress that I understand their standpoint. These guys are getting up there in age. In the early years they gave everything they could. Every year it was album, tour, and no breaks. They earned the right to take it easy on themselves after a certain point. Something every single one of us hope to acheive. They have a life to live also and as the years pass it gets harder and harder to do what they're doing and find time to enjoy life also. I'm not angry at Priest even though that comes through in some of my posts. I'm just greedy and want as much as I can get out of them. I need to realize that they've given their all and at this stage I just need to be happy that they may give anything. I'll always love these guys but I still need to be entertained and there are others that do that for me so more of my attention goes elsewhere. I thank Priest for what they've given me and I'm OK if there is nothing else.

It's would probably narrow a little quicker if Rob fans would quit voting for Ronnie (lol) but it's 60/40 right now.

I never vote in these "Vs." polls/contests but I decided to throw a vote towards Rob for the latest one mentioned here. I don't think Rob has a chance against a dead man. Not trying to be callous but every dead musician is remembered as greater than he was so I expect that to boost Ronnie here. I've seen Ronnie James Dio many times since 1980 and he isn't any better than Rob yet he is killing him in this poll/contest. (76% to 24%)

I bought tickets to see Gemini Syndrome in early December. I messaged them on facebook and ask them if they would place the wife and I on their guestlist and they said yes just to remind them closer to the show. I'm starting to love their disc and I really appreciate how these guys stick to their word. A good band and it seems like they're good guys also. Some here may like some of their disc, it has hints of Nu Metal but  for the most part it's not. They have clean vocals most of the time but his singing style may not appeal to all. If I had to label them I would call them Nu Progressive. Yeah I made that up lets just hope it doesn't stick. To me it's all metal. I never really try to break it down anymore.

Go to loudwire.com and vote for Rob Halford as greatest frontman!  Til Lindemann is beating him by 1%!  Let's Defend The Faith!!!! 

Man, I wish you guys could refrain from the "snow" talk.(insert smiley).

 I like it I'm just not ready for it.

Overall the experience was pretty cool. I met a couple of Canadians who said they came over from Ontario across the bridge to Canada. They were telling me that they have been going to Harpos for at least 25 years. They said everyone has played there and named quite a few that they went to. Tesla, Run DMC, Kid Rock, Lamb Of God, Wasp, and others. They mentioned things about the club, like it used to have a lit dance floor and giant monitors. I forget other things they told me. They told me they used to come over to America to drink all the time. I don't know if they were telling me the truth or not but they said something about coming over with Canadian money, buying drinks and getting change with American money, and exchanging that when they got back to Canadian currency again and making money out of it. They laughed about coming here to drink and getting money back. Can anyone explain this or let me know it's not possible. I'm skeptical but I don't know. I probably wouldn't go back. Any big shows with no parking would freak me out up there. I've been in the City at night, Miami, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and a few others but this had a different vibe to it. Then I read today about Detroit getting a white mayor for the first time in decades and one of his first issues is dealing with how dangerous and violent Detroit is. I got in, I got out, I'm good! (lol)

a couple of corrections. I said on ramp and meant overpasses and I said to the right of the stage and it was to the left.

@Guido. I finally made it to Harpos. Seedy neighborhood? OMG. I got a little nervous when about a mile from the exit I started to notice graffitti all over the on ramps. Nothing new but then about 1/2 mile to go and now I'm seeing the poles covered and graffitti on the highway signs and I was like "great", freakin' gangs, or at least "the hood". Took the exit and when I got on the street leading to Harpos all I saw were "brothers". I am not a racist but I do care about my well being so I wasn't liking that. Then driving by Harpos I didn't notice parking and drove to a supermarket a couple of buildings away. Looked at the clientel and thought my car will be gone by time I get back out here. I drove back towards the club and turned in next to it and saw parking in the rear. So glad the crowd was small so I didn't have an issue parking. I may have just left if I would have had to park anywhere else. I was amazed at how big the inside is once you get inside. That floor though (in my mind) sucks. Raise your hands all the way above your head and your wrists hit the stage. I got a spot at the rail above the floor to the right side. Perfect view and I got some great videos. I may post one for you just because of where it is from. I have a cool pic from outside I'll post when I get it to my computer. That was my 19th MRH show and sixth this year. I may get one more chance this year, depends on the weather. Their Xmas show is next month. I may skip it though. 6 times in one year is good I guess.(lol) Take care.

Wow this place is dead! I guess everyone has been busy....... right?
