Yngwie opening for AC/DC. 1985.
Just a horrible loud mess.
AC/DC was great.
Krokus opening opening for priest.
Again. Horrible loud mess. Priest came on... crystal clear awesome.
That was the Turbo tour.
I totally agree. I saw Mastodon years back and they were terrible. The sound sucked and they were not tight at all. I also saw them in ‘18 with Primus and they were masterful. Amazing show all around. It was like a completely different band.dirtyfunkg":oj8rclrw said:155":oj8rclrw said:mastadon, complete shit sound, sloppy playing not a good thing to say about it...
FWIW, I saw Mastodon on The Hunter tour in 2011 or 2012 and it was terrible. Truly terrible.
I saw them again in 2018 opening for Primus, then last year again opening for Coheed & Cambria.
I gotta say it... Mastodon is now one of the best live bands out there. They put on a CLINIC on how to play a metal show. Super tight, singers on key, everything.
I really think that Brent and Bill switching to modelers has made a huge difference. Super clear sound but still raw. They did the whole Crack the Skye album last year and, dude... wow.
I also think they sobered up which helps a lot with the playing.

my ex guitar teacher was their guitarists until he got caught with child porn about a year and a half ago. When I was getting his info I asked what band did he play for and he said Manowar. I almost cancelled right then. I remember seeing Manowar ads in magazines when I was a kid. I thought they were some brutal band and then when I first heard them I was immediately not a fan.
I remember years ago when that drummer from Judas Priest got busted for some child molestation or porn thing. The new drummer is way better anyway but still sucks.

Was hoping for a night reminiscent of that vid of him doing “Machine Gun Man”, what I got was him plugged into his fucking pedalboard, full on distortion and a wah pedal just noodling away. That was the last time I remember having a cold and when I sneezed I just left. It was bad enough without me sneezing around a bunch of people.
Thankfully, I saw him with Ozzy about 3 years ago and it was KILLER.
I saw one of those acoustic shows.
I don't think it counts as an acoustic set when your acoustic has an EMG and you're running it through a pedalboard, sounding exactly like you do on electric. It was pretty cool to hear the old P&G songs but it was not was it could have been. Same with the Book of Shadows tour he did.
I don't even bother to go to BLS shows anymore. Big fan, but it's the same set every time and it's never the shit I wanna hear. I did see Zakk Sabbath last summer though and it ripped my motherfucking head off. That was a show.

My contribution is Aerosmith, back in the mid-80's. These guys were famous back then, for getting too fucked up to play. Like, sloppy drunk.. Tyler and Perry, pretty much ruined that one...
