Also, Metallica was over and done with as soon as that bus flipped.
They were better with Dave on guitar, but once Cliff was gone, they were done.

I bought a bootleg of the Black album while in the Persian Gulf and I thought I got ripped off. :rofl:

Got back to the states and figured out that it was legit, just terrible.

Meh.

Too much effort to think of who I dislike.
If it ain't my jam, it ain't my jam and gets ignored.

Still a Zep-head. You can get seriously lost in the bootlegs.

Now get off my lawn. :shakefist:

Used to live near Mike D., and would see him from time to time in random places, like kid's soccer tryouts and the local micro-grocery store. One Halloween when we were walking around the big Halloween street in Cobble Hill I saw him and said "nice Mike D. costume" to him, and I still feel stupid about it to this day.
User name checks out! :D

Some bands don't suck all that much (but the latter half of U2 surely does), but the commercialized crap they repetitively play on the "radio" or streaming certainly does, never digging into their catalog for the much better songs...just the pop crap that hit the charts.

Worst is when you go get an MRI and they have a streaming service piped to the headset, so have to give a song or band for it to pick stuff...but if you say "metallica", you'll be listening to the black album the entire time and might kill yourself.
I asked for my local radio station and it worked out nice, I even fell asleep.
