Wtf did I just read!? This is golden! :LMAO: Some pin this thread until the 30,000th post! 73, are you listening??

Sadly, I too have drifted away from Rush almost entirely, hence why I'm almost never here anymore. Not because I don't like them anymore, it's just that I've found myself listening to other bands now. I'll still throw on La Villa from time to time though. ;)

2010 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup Edition. Worked to come up with a majority of the cost and my father covered the rest. I've had it for almost three months now and it's just a joy to drive, and one hell of a first car! http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac182/bernhabr/DSC09597.jpg

Good one

Periphery - Racecar 2:55, 6:40, and 11:30 to the end are some of the greatest riffs I've ever heard..

Anything genre for that matter. I enjoy Periphery's Ragnarok, Racecar, and Zyglrox for starters :D

HUGE fan, one of my top 5 favorite bands!

Thanks for the tag, Babycat! 40,000 down, 40,000 more to go!! :) :madra:

Periphery and Norma Jean 2013 Blackwater Music, NM Let me just by saying that this was a Pre-Summer Slaughter show, they added this date about two weeks before the actual show! I'll start off with the arrival, I got to the venue about an hour before the doors opened to find only 3 people in line, and it stayed that way for about half an hour until the venue decided to let us in. Now while we were waiting, you'll never gues who walked out if the venue but MISHA MANSOOR himself!!! He was generous to take a few pics with me (ill post soon) and said how small the actual venue was, now keep in mind this is one of the smallest venues in Albuquerque and holds only a few hundred, so it's so shocking Periphery was playing here! And on top of all that, it's general admission too!! Now there were three opening bands before Norma Jean and Peripery, they were local bands called Hollow Tongue, Bathwater, and Sanctuary. Now I was there with a group of musicians from school and we were lucky enough to be in the front for all these bands, which will come in handy later ;). The first band was good, the second KILLED and last opening band wasn't very impressive. Now onto Norma Jean: I have one of their albums and they were absolutely Phenominal live! The crowd was super into it and I had a front row experience since it was general admission. The setlist was great and I got two picks from one of their guitarists and chatted with every band that was performing that evening. Now the band was going insane, like the bassist would throw himself onto me and then proceeded by spitting on me (gross I know) but it was still pretty cool. The sound checks in between bands went smoothly, and this venue had one of the BEST drum sounds live I've ever heard. Onto the main attraction, Periphery!! It was so cool, I talked with Misha so much while they were setting up and did the same with Matt, Jake, and Mark! Nolly couldn't make it due to visa problems, but they made it work without him! So they opened with Icarus Lives to get the crowd pumping and NAILED it live! They proceeded with Facepalm Mute and Make Total Destroy and made constant audience interaction. Very humble and down to earth rockers! Following was Scarlet and Zyglrox, and it was funny, Misha and Mark were doing a little dance off during Scarlet! They finished off with my favorite Periphery songs ever, Luck As A Constant, Have A Blast, and RAGNAROK! Perfect setlist to put a closer on the BEST concert I've ever been too! But the fun doesn't stop there: not only did I catch a shirt from the sound guy in the back, but I got picks from Misha and Jake, and some tape off Mishas guitar rig!! (I also got Mishas water bottle as well ;) ) One of my friends got the setlist from Mishas guitar rig, and honestly, these guys were just phenomenal live! Being as it was such a small venue, it made it more personal and intimate. Everyone in the band was on fire, and it was seeing them before they get all road-worn. Hands down the best concert I've been too. If they're playing in your area, GO SEE THEM!!

Periphery at Blackwater Music July 17th, Can't wait!

Eagles Tribute Band early July!

Lucky! I've been looking for a close show to attend, but there are none close to home. If you go, post a review!

The girl who played Lois Lane could've been prettier, but I liked how much fighting was put into the movie. Very Sci-Fi, I loved it!

You have to give them props for their new album being named Dream Theater. It shows confidence they're happy with this new direction they're taking. Can't wait for it's release!

They're almost as exciting as Sheldon Cooper's posts or all of Babycat's likes! We all know Rush is just ripping off NKOTB and Coldplay tunes!

the air was thick with catcalls, no pun intended —Tom Waits The HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE cat.

Endorse: New Mexico Piñon Coffee. Local companies are always the best way to go, and since I get mine for free, why not! :P Don't Endorse: Windows 8. My new laptop runs on Windows 8 and it's just still full of flaws.

Skipping.

Motion passed and the title fits you well my friend!!! I'm blushing. Cool man...did you know that the forum will even craft and give you a new lightsaber with this honor? wut. iT'S JUST HOW THEY ROLL DAWG You lost me.... Happy Anniversary! :cheers:

I'm into djent, and with that said, Javier Reyes of Animals As Leaders is very underrated being under the shadow of someone like Tosin Abasi.

Pace, seriously? Try some of the smaller brands like Desert Pepper or something like that. We usually make our own salsa, but in a pinch, I will buy Desert Pepper XXX Habanero or Salsa Diablo. The best "larger batch" salsa I have had out of a jar was Herdez. ILs - I brought some of our homemade salsa to your place before the concert last fall - right? Well, I've only ever had Pace, Newman, and Tostito's, as far as I can remember. Newman's didn't have the "kick". Tostitos' is also good, but after trying Pace, I loved it right away. Have any of you tried El Pinto's salsa before? It's a local restaurant that makes some of the best world renowned salsa, I think. They ship off their website http://www.elpinto.com/ if anyone's interested in trying some amazing salsa!

Arctic Monkeys - Albuquerque, NM - May 29, 2013 Let me just start off by saying I've been looking forward to this show since tickets went on sale in February, and they did NOT disappoint! I'll start off with their opening band, Mini Mansions: I hate saying bands suck, but this time, Mini Mansions straight up did! I felt bad for them because its three guys, a pianist/singer, a drummer/singer, and a bassist, and their music was just BORING! They did a seven or eight song set with a really bad Beatles cover that put a bad taste in everyone's mouth for the 45min or so they performed, but the best was to come! They had been touring with the Black Keys for quite some time and we were bummed to not be able to see them instead of this poor bands performance. Onto the main band, the Arctic Monkeys! They opened with a rather new tune, Do I Wanna Know. Great opening song and really got the crowd pumping. The next song was Brainstorm, and I just lost it! It's my favorite AM song and was a real treat to hear so early in the set! The next few song were their live staples (Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair, Brick By Brick, Old Yellow Bricks) followed by some songs off Suck It And See. Towards the end of the set, Alex Turner broke out the acoustic and played Cornerstone, perfectly executed. It was a general admission arena, but fortunately, my friends and I were able to avoid the occasional shoving and seized the opportunity to get closer to the front (ill attach some pictures later). They closed the evening with Fluorescent Adolescent and 505 (also the local area code :D ) All in all, great show and in quoting 505, "Im going back to 505, if it's a seven hour flight or a 45min drive." Would highly recommend!

So, you like your men to be all sensitive and prefer them to be all manscaped? Nothing's worse than having hairy legs, hairy gut, nothing in between.
