Tabe Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I first heard Vertical Horizon back in 1999, along with just everybody else, when their "Everything You Want" became a major hit. They've been one of my two or three favorite bands ever since. Over and over and over I've fruitlessly checked their tour dates to see when they'd be anywhere even remotely close to me. No dice. Until tonight. Thursday night I was on Facebook and VH posted that they were excited for their new tour, starting that night. On a whim, knowing I'd yet again be disappointed, I checked the tour dates. Much to my surprise, they were indeed coming to Spokane. 2 days later. I quickly bought a ticket, snagging a good seat since I was flying solo. 18 years. I've been waiting 18 years. And it was awesome. I am soooooo glad I checked the tour dates! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 This is awesome... Vinyl Ambush played a private event last night and it wasn't long before the Peel Police showed up. We thought the show was over but much to everyone's delight, they joined in for an incredible jam session. They were so impressed by the band instead of putting a stop to the show they wanted to join in then offered the band words of wisdom. Talk about community outreach. Many thanks to Peel Region Police for making it such a fun and memorable night for the Band and everyone there. You guys ROCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hey hey! Remember a couple months back when I got the wrong order -- TWICE -- from Amazon? They want their records back, or else they're billing me, even though they don't know what the records are! I'm tempted to print out the shipping labels and send them some Conway Twitty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 If you click here, you can listen to and maybe even pay for my new album. It's called Hard J. I've been working on it for two and a half years, and being honest, I think it's pretty good. FUN FACT: My avatar is part of the album cover.

Probably my favorite of yours to date. If I can scratch up some cake later, I'll pick it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I jammed this in the ride like five times yesterday. Three of the chords he plays in the bullfighter verse at the end (4:41-4:45) sound like his amp is literally exploding. It's maybe the nastiest sound Young's ever made with an electric guitar, and that covers a LOT of ground*. If you play it at top volume on a powerful stereo it sounds like a plane crash. Also gotta love how it just comes out of nowhere in an otherwise very calm song and just bushwhacks you. He also does a deranged cover of "On Broadway" on this EP where he changes the lyrics, glops it up to Blue Cheer proportions, and yells something like "I WANT SOME OF THAT CRACK! GIMME THAT CRACK! I WANT THAT CRACK! YAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" haha * And yes, I have heard Arc before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 El Dorado is great. I can see why to a lot of people it would be an unknown given the scope of his catalogue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It was also a Japanese-only import, IIRC. I'm tempted to go dig up my copy of Freedom now since I haven't heard it in years and would like to compare track versions. Incidentally I found a brand spankin' new version of On the Beach last week on vinyl. They apparently even repressed Time Slips Away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Got a ticket to see Iron Maiden tomorrow at Prudential Center for $15 via SeatGeek. Thank God for all the suckers who MUST see a basketball game where we all know the end result in advance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I hope you enjoy The Book of Souls. Either way, it's Maiden, why not? The Somewhere Back In Time tour show was so incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 okay I've had this leak for like half a month and I've been quiet and patient until other people could hear it now you can THE NEW FLEET FOXES IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE. IT'S A BONAFIDE EPIC COMPARED TO THEIR LAST RECORDS (which i was also fond of).PLEASE LISTEN TO IT (through NPR). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 "Purgatory" is my live Maiden dream song. Can you imagine what they would do with three guitars on those harmonies? Also "Phantom of the Opera" because they didn't play it when I saw em Here's a jacked-up version with Bruce live Also, full disclosure: I still haven't heard The Book of Souls. Maiden albums (hell, songs) have gotten intimidating for me in their length and I passed it by, which I think I'll rectify tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit, I just wish they'd bring back Ghost of the Navigator. It was quite awesome. Book of Souls is really a great album, my fave off it is "The Red and the Black". I checked for you and sadly the only Canadian dates are in Toronto and Quebec City. In mid July they are doing two shows at Barclays Center that I want to go to. The opening act was Ghost and they were freaking incredible, one of the best opening acts I have ever seen. They were worth the $35 I spent on the ticket and train fare alone. Add in Maiden and that show was the best value of any show or event I've ever been to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Red and the Black is my favourite off that album too and it's funny, the first time I listened to the album I didn't like it at all. By about the fourth spin I realized it had become my favourite. Music's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 People on the HF Devils board are trying to tell me the secondary market prices cratered because "Iron Maiden aren't a draw anymore". Let the sheer waves of their stupidity and cluelessness wash over you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 No thanks on that end. I went ahead and have got CDRs of The Book of Souls so I'll let you know when I get around to them. In the meantime there's this (which is very much not Maiden) The Dogs and Kraut songs are time-capsule worthy and I can't believe I never got into this stuff before now. In particular the Dogs' song sounds like the best song that the Stooges never recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Dead and Company last night in Boulder was fucking amazing. I spent the show with my roommate's brother in law, who's an old head like me. His wife has been fighting breast cancer for the last two years and he's been there for her like a rock. He got a night with me to kick back, and enjoy himself and the scene/ music we love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
