...not my conversation but I had to chime in.
That freakin' church protested some soldiers services around here and I've been wishing bad things on them ever since.
Them showing up at "Jeff's" service would have been perfect, I guarantee bad things would have happened. Your comment
about the little girl sickens me. WTF is wrong with this freakin' lunatic pastor? Someone please burn that church down!!!
...another reason I chimed in was your comment about the new Sabbath song.
I told my wife two days ago the same thing you said. The beginning of the song ...OK...towards the middle and end I like it.
I would probably pass on their show also. Mentioned that to the wife during the same conversation. Ozzy doesn't sound overly great
on the song and that's as doctored as they can get it. I can't imagine he'll be very good live.
I will admit the last two times I saw Ozzy he sounded better than he has since the 90's but that was nearly 3 years ago and add the
story about his relapse and I wouldn't take the chance. I saw them on "Heaven and Hell" tour in 1980 and their re-union shows in the late
90's and the "Heaven And Hell(band)" tour you mentioned and a few times in between so there is no desire.

It did surprise me that the Westboro Baptist Church didn't show up. They probably knew better than to try to rile up already emotional Slayer fans. The cult would all be impaled and without a single survivor left to try to sue the attackers for "damages". I heard that they were going to Moore, OK to protest the memorial service being held for a child killed in that F5 tornado. Looks like they didn't even show up there, either.
As for Black Sabbath. The only new song I heard was "God is Dead?". The first three minutes were "meh", but the rest sounded good. I'll probably buy the album, but won't see them live. I prefer to keep my experience of seeing Heaven and Hell live in 2008 intact. Stupid idea? Probably.

I feel for Bill, and I've read a lot of what he's had to say about the whole affair, but these gentlemen too, are not getting any younger and time seems to be getting shorter and shorter with each passing hour!! In the grand scheme of things, I can only hope "13" will NOT be Tony's 'swan song' as "The Devil You Know" was for Dio (all that's been released since notwithstanding). I've heard "God Is Dead" and "End of the Beginning" from it so far, and I must say I'm very pleased with what I've heard so far!!
There's also a lot to be said regarding the whole "...two Queensryches" issue (you'll all forgive me for possibly recanting things you all may have commiserated about thousands of times over in recent months...like I said, it's been a while for me!!). I'll just say this much about all of that....I've listened to about 7 or 8 tracks from Geoff Tate's 'version' (from "Frequency Unknown")....and...in all honesty, even for all the talent he's got with him this time around...I'm every bit as nonplussed about it as I was with Queensryche's previous album "Dedicated To Chaos," which in my humble opinion--was dreadful...and as a fan, it irks me to say that. Conversely, I've only heard one track so far from the OTHER camp (now featuring Todd LaTorre...a great singer) called "Redemption," and it's got me VERY eager to hear what the rest sounds like! Sure, it could be argued that LaTorre sounds a bit 'too much' like what Tate sounded like from the days of "The Warning" or "Rage For Order," but it's abundantly clear that THIS is the sound much of the remaining long-time members of 'Ryche were looking for and wanting to do for a very long time. Seems Tate had himself too tight a pull on the reins on what was becoming a very worn 'horse,' and it was down to either feed it carrots and let it get lazier and fatter, or give it a royal smack in the ass and get that sumbitch back to running speed! The fans have (largely) responded...the eagerness to see 'Ryche tear it up with LaTorre seems far greater in scope.

Not much else to impart really...just wanted to say an overdue "Hi ya!!!" and share (as well) things I'd been noticing, reading up on, and thinking about.

I'll make this my last post on Rock On The Range and don't worry I won't include videos.
There was a lesser known band there called Gemini Syndrome. I had heard of them a couple of months prior
because they were opening for a band that I like. I couldn't attend but I was checking them out on youtube and
thought "they" may be the kind of band I like.
At R.O.T.R. my wife and i managed to get about four rows of people from the stage. I was watching them and thinking they weren't
too bad. During the second song I looked at my wife and she was holding her head and had tears in her eyes. I was like "WTF happened"
and she showed me her hand with blood all over it. I took her to first aid and on the way she said the drummer hit her in the head with a stick.
We got her cleaned up and sanitized and we missed the rest of the band's set. Luckily the cut was minor but she got a nice little knot to go with it.
When I got home I left a message on Gemini Syndrome's facebook page telling them what I just told you guys. Yesterday when I went
on facebook I had a message from them. They sent "our sincerest apologies" and said they were going to send me a package. They ask for my
address and my wife and my shirt sizes. They also told me that if I attend another show to message them and they will put us on their guest list.
They are a lesser known band without much of a following but I thought that was pretty cool of them to offer anything at all.
They made a fan of me just by their actions!
[guidogodoy] Thursday, May 23, 2013 10:12:11 PM
I liked that one. Thanks for posting it.
Even the vid wasn't all that bad (until the old-time woman slapped that cool pipe out of the guy's mouth towards the end..lol).
Thought I'd share some NZ metal. Well I think it's metal anyways haha. This is a band from NZ called Devilskin, I really like this song. Yeah the music video is shit but ignore that lol.

Someone here (probably Jimmy J) posted this band here awhile back.
I thought they were cool, not sure if anyone else does or not but they seem to be the type of band some here would like.
I wanna say "stoner rock"but I never cared for that term. Kind of "grungy" metal, they remind me of bands like "Red Fang".
They put on a good set, really tight and sound quality was good. I wish I would have gotten them doing "Hush" by ZZ Top.
Anyway, check this out. I'm pretty sure some of you may like this.

Wow, don't know if this was planned or not but "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" ('73 Hammersmith Odeon) is on right now. Featuring who? Right next to Bowie, Trevor Bolder.
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, Evening Star shouldn't even be in that list. Should've used Rock Forever instead, if they really wanted to reveal a "great lost track" from HBFL. Or Take on the World.
While always tough to make a list, who put "Evening Star" in there?! Ranked above "Victim" as well? No "BTROD?"
My own list seems to change daily but "Evening Star" sticks out like a sore thumb against a number of better Priest tunes.
There are two songs on this video. The second one has the crazier crowd.
If you don't want to watch the whole thing go to about the 3:15 mark. Probably top 3 craziest crowds of the weekend. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by acolyte55 from Tuesday, May 21, 2013 12:12:57 PM)

Went to "Rock On The Range" this weekend. Around here there is nothing like this festival.
The amount of people over the weekend and the energy level is like nothing I've ever experienced.
I'll post a couple of videos that I like and I'll post a few to highlight the crowd. Even if some of you don't
care for this type of music check out a couple of the videos I post just to see the crazy ass crowd.
@Accolyte...i have a video of "All That Remains" that I made sure to get just for you. I made a mistake though.
We were on the field and the crowd was so crazy I figured I would go up top to get a good crowd shot. That worked
out but I compromised the sound quality. Definitely a top 5 performance of the weekend. I'm going to be paying
more attention to these guys.
@ JD...I wanted to get a "Ghost video for you but I was too close to a group of security. I didnt realize til later they didn't seem to care.
My wife took one of mostly monitor shots with a digital camera. Not great quality but when I get it to youtube i'll post it for you. I have to
say that I've never seen a band like that before. Not bad at times but more symphonic than I really care for. I watched them because of you
and I don't regret it but they are different. One of those so called "devil" bands that come off as "really" being "one of those devil bands'.
This video was one of my highlights. Stone Sour doing "Children Of The Grave". They rocked it. I have a few stories. I'll try to share a few later.
Enjoy!

Very interesting, I believed on a new hard album, but for me are the changes in their music styles very good! I wrote, if every album like the other albums, it would be boring, but they experimented much, this is what I love on Judas Priest. But, I still love the album Nostradamus and I believe on the implementing on stage one day, the style of this album isn´t death, the album after the hard new album, will be in another style again! The band composes what the fans want to hear, they give feedback, there are also many Nostradamus fans! I love everything about Priest, so I can buy it, without to hear it, the new album will be a surprise for everyone who loves Priest!
Anyway, I think after the production of the new album, all the Judas Priest fans will be satisfied and happy again!
Sounds like their trying to get that "Painkiller Swagger" back.... it's about time. Richie Faulkner bringing some fresh young writing blood and guitar playing to the table. Everything is set up for a killer album. Just what I was talking about over a year ago.
Hey Hellrider, looks like we're getting what we wanted.

ROB HALFORD: Next JUDAS PRIEST Album Will Be 'A Real Hard And Heavy And Tough Record' - May 16, 2013
Justin Tedaldi of Examiner.com recently conducted an interview with JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford and guitarist Richie Faulkner. An excerpt from the chat follows below.
Examiner.com: For the next project, I know you're all working on a new studio album. How's that coming along?
Halford: Fantastic. Really, really good. We've been saying that it's very important for PRIEST to kind of reinforce again a lot of the elements of what we do and what we're about to follow up from [the band's previous album] "Nostradamus". As much as that was a great moment for the band in the concept world, we want to get back to the roots of what we've been about for so many decades and just make one more great heavy metal album, meaning one of many. What we're trying to say is the next one is going to be a real hard and heavy and tough record.
Examiner.com: Are there any completed songs at this point?
Halford: Yeah. We have four tracks that we've got in the can. We're kind of looking at them again to see what else we can do, and the main reason we're saying that is because now we have Richie on board. And Richie's brought this great life, you know, this extra dimension of energy that has really been kind of infectious. We've all grown to love Richie as a player and as a songwriter, so he's added something new, and that's just kind of reenergized some areas that we're about. We've been writing a ton of material; we've got so much stuff in the can. We're tracking at the moment; we're just taking our time. It'll be ready when it's ready as we've been telling everybody, but it's a good message and a good signal to tell all the PRIEST fans that there's a new PRIEST record on the way.
Examiner.com: Will Richie be part of the writing process for the new PRIEST album?
Faulkner: Yeah. I take a recording rig out wherever I go; you never know where inspiration's going to hit you. When we were out on tour I took a little recording rig… sometimes when you're onstage playing, you get a little flash of inspiration when you [need] to scream into your phone or whatever. And the guys would be walking past, they'd hear it, and say, "Aww, that's a great riff, you've got to record that." So when we all got together — we got together for a couple of months last year in 2012, me, Glenn [Tipton] and Rob, and we threw all the ideas that we had in the hat, and we went from there, really. They've been great — you know, they could have just said, "This is the record we want you to play on," but they [said], "You're in the band and we want you to contribute," and they welcomed most of the ideas. It's just been a great creative team from the get-go, really. I've been a part of it and couldn't ask for anything more.

Yeah, I've been reading everything I can about it. Like the epiphany he had while snorting coke while driving down the road and decided to switch to alcohol.
He certainly had some sort of pre-existing liver condition but I am still looking at something that gives concrete info about the spider bite.
The neurotoxin in the venom of some of them can be quite nasty. Letting one go for a matter of hours (much less days) can do major damage. Here, as I said, the Brown Recluse and Black Widow are the most common (with the BR EATING the BW). I've known people who have gone blind in an eye just because of shit luck. One crawling on the ceiling and dropped onto his face in the middle of the night. Yeah, REAL shit luck there.
Sure, Jeff had a pre-existing condition and letting a venomous spider bite go untreated for even hours just screwed him. Very sad no matter how you slice it.
Guido,actually Jeff Hennemans spider bite contributed to his liver failure he had...the combo was too much.

Not sure I remember anyone here mentioning being from New York
but here's a link for tickets to the New York showing w/ Rob and Richie
if anyone is.

WOW! <==a proper interjection, DF. That is just too sad. Creepy at the same time. Died from a spider bite?! My house is full of brown recluse and I am well-aware of what damage they can do having both read and seen it in person. Not feeling the bite is typical as is necrosis of the surrounding tissue. DEATH, however, is not.
Yep, just saw the news myself. Came out of nowhere. R.I.P. Jeff [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Thursday, May 02, 2013 5:19:49 PM)

BWHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!! TOO FUNNY!!! LOL!!!!! I've seen him (and a granny making a "bus run") many a time but never made the connection. It is perfect! HAAAAA!
Thanks for posting the extended review as well. Once I get the tears of laughter out of my eyes, I might be able to read it properly.
One local reviewer likened his running about the stage to your grandmother running to catch the bus LMAO!

Been away for a few days cos we headed up to Auckland to watch Black Sabbath! It was their first concert in New Zealand in 40 years, and it was great! Played for just under 2 hours. Opened with War Pigs and the crowd went nuts and sang along. Couldn't understand any of what Ozzy was saying other than 'fuckin' and 'love ya' and 'are you having fun?' LOL! Highlights for me were Faeries Wear Boots and Children of the Grave. They also played two new songs, God is Dead? and another which name escapes me at the mo. The drummer they have on tour, Tommy Clufetos, is insanely talented. Would have preferred Bill Ward but that's bye the bye now. Overall a great gig!

Nice full review, Becks! Good to hear you all had a great time.
Just got home from a weekend away at the first Black Sabbath concert in New Zealand since 1973.
The opening act was a local band named Shihad who I wasn't too fussed on seen as I have seen them live many times. They played a super short set of half an hour. They left the stage at 8pm and we were all settling in for a wait of maybe 45 minutes before BS came on. However a mere 20 minutes later the house lights dimmed and the sirens started up, and the band started to play their opening song, War Pigs, and the curtain that draped the front of the stage lifted.The people milling about buying merch and drinks etc suddenly came rushing in, I don't think anyone expected them on stage so soon! The whole crowd went mad and started to sing along. Ozzy had plenty of energy (for Ozzy) but we couldn't understand much of what he said LOL! The words I made out were 'fuckin' 'love ya' and 'are you having fun?'. While I really wish Bill Ward had been there, the drummer in his stead - Tommy Clufetos - was INSANELY talented and drummed like a monkey on speed. Tony Iommi was excellent as always, and Geezer Butler was great too.
The setlist was great and included two new songs, God is Dead? and End of the Beginning. Highlights for me were Fairies Wear Boots and Children of the Grave. There wasn't much stuffing about, the music came thick and fast and they played for just under two hours. Setlist:
War Pigs
Into The Void
Under The Sun
Snowblind
Electric Funeral
Black Sabbath
Behind The Wall of Sleep
N.I.B.
End of the Beginning
Fairies Wears Boots
Symptom of the Universe
Drum solo
Iron Man
God Is Dead?
Dirty Women
Children of the Grave
Encore: Paranoid

i'd like to see Rob and the boys on the big screen.
...I will say this much, however; I'm very glad the Westboro Baptist Chur....um...I mean CULT, neglected to show to protest Hanneman's Memorial service as they'd initially vowed....it could've gotten very ugly (in spite of Slayer's urgings to merely ignore the lot of them and spend time instead queuing up to get inside and celebrate Jeff's life and music). I caught some pictorial and other visual accounts of Hanneman's service...I'd say they did a wonderful job celebrating his legendary career in heavy metal and honoring the very person he was.
