I have a full head of hair and unproblematic knees.

Suck it.

Ha. True.
Works for me. Reminds me of living in East Atlanta and drinking it at Gravity Pub, whilst I have a grilled Ham n Chee with tots, so rad.

Wasn't it like $1 a can there? Man, i loved that shit.

Knuck, I'm ok with that amendment. Sort of. I read Metal Forces and that's how I knew about Destruction and Hellhammer. Kreator I've never really cared for. Canada. Voivod, though, is rule.

Check. Sigh.

stewvee wrote:(2) Own Slayer, Destruction, and Hellhammer records on vinyl (and listen to them on a regular basis).

Negative. My vinyl collection is, hm, how, to say ... the suck. But I was no stranger to the Atlanta Record Shows and bought crap that I probably should've hung onto. Why I still have the Wicked Lester demo sessions is a mystery.

Triple sec. Unaccompanied. Sometimes my bile ducts ache like a bad knee on a rainy day.

stewvee wrote:(4) Know that "Omni" is a co-designative term referring to a defunct but rad "sci-fi" oriented mag published by Bob Guccione, and a physical place you saw Dio, Priest, Ozzy, Maiden, Crue, Rush, and Van Halen play, as well as the Goddamn Flames before they were sold to Canada (which is where the Thrashers are headed, folks).

Almost check. Can I substitute The Savage Sword of Conan for my preferred reading material? And my scant Omni experiences are as follows (and the fact that I am digging through ticket stubs on a goddamned Friday night earns my ass a spot in this thread among my fellow codgers):

KISS w/ Nugent, Feb 10, 1988. Must've been the Crazy Nights tour. I will do penance.

Def Leppard/Queensryche, Oct 7, 1988. Green lasers, chains on drums.

AC/DC, Oct 21, 1988. My buddy was accosted by a drunk (which one of you was it?) who said, "Are you a boy or a girl, cause you're the sexiest motherfucker I've ever seen."

Motley Crue, Jan 25, 1990. Tommy Lee's inverted drum solo from the ceiling is literally all I remember. It's probably all I need to remember. There isn't a single song from Dr. Feelgood I ever want to hear again.

Robert Plant, Aug 1, 1990. I'm sure there was a reason for this.

Addendum recommendation: You occasionally consider the full name of the Masquerade to be, "the Masquerade, formerly Excelsior Mill."

I blame this entire reply on Lortab.

Was this the show where some dude made a major league pitch and landed a full beer cup right in front of the Nuge and it literally exploded all over him? Then he had a ghey meltdown and told the surrounding crowd to beat down some dude? I know I saw both bands there several times.

I pretty much straight check marks on this thread. Save for never seeing Rush there, but I'll sub in that Pink Floyd reunion tour with the flying pigs. This show was acid mandatory.

Did you rock at Charlie Magruder's?

Go to Grateful Dead parking lots at the Omni for the primary purpose of scoring high powered drugs for cheap?

Take halves at Open Campus when it was still Kitteredge?

No beer tastes more like old pennies than Fat Tire, and yet people speak of the swill like the Pope brews it in 128-can batches every 10 years. It's god-awful.

I seem to remember that I read a magazine called Metal Mania. Or Metal Maniacs. Or something. I just remember that we were its target audience.

Joan Jett opening. And playing The Germs' Lexicon Devil. Plus, seeing Plant do "Communication Breakdown" was rad.

Metal Forces was German?

Metal Maniacs was the best metal zine ever. Only the good shit, none of the lame. It was so crammed full of good shit every month. It was more of a labor of love zine like Flipside, than a glossy magazine. I went into a deep depression when it folded up a year or two back. Sad days indeed. Nothing compares to it. Though hocking of my soul for my Terrorizer sub is a decent methadone.

I have a foggy memory that there was also a Metal Mania, but it sucked.

Get fucked up for under a buck at Nickel Night at Green's on Peachtree Industrial?

It looks like Metal Maniacs has an online presence.

Yeah, that is some over-rated crap.

Yeah, it came back in that form about a year after the mag folded. Sadly, it is not the same in it's e form.
