That Metal Show

[JudynTX]

Does anyone remember the US Festival, 1983?

Two of my brothers attended this, lost most of their clothes, camera and shoes. They had to find whatever they could find to wear to hop on a plane to come back home.

VH1 Classics was showing some of the acts from that event. Bono climbed on top of the stage.



Did you know Steve Wozniak organized it? I wish he would do it again.

It was in San Bernadino, CA. My brothers met some folks from Texas who they hung out with most of the time. A taxi showed up and out walked these two dark skinned guys and we couldn't recognize them. I think one of my brothers still has the tshirt.

I want it on DVD.

Some of the best heavy metal bands come from Sweden.



If you're a fan of Opeth, you'll like these guys.

Viva will say this is not heavy metal in 3....2.....1

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'll be nice

I used to listen heavy metal when I was younger. I was a big Metallica fan.

Dude! Did you know this?

12/9/09: In Los Angeles and woke up this morning to some very sad and tragic news that Kerri Lee Tucker AKA "Miss Box Of Junk" on That Metal Show has passed away. I have no details at all as to what happened. Kerri was a great part of the show and we had fun with her on the days we shot. I did not know her well outside of our working relations but she was fun to have as part of TMS in Seasons 2 & 3. We featured her prominently in our final skit of season 3 which just aired and featured Peter Criss. A fun day at Le Cirque. My condolences to her friends, fans and family and she will be missed as an asset to TMS. More info when I have it and return to the East Coast on Friday. This has been a big shock to all. RIP Kerri Lee.

Whoa. That sucks. Sad to hear.

Posthumous albums should come affixed with a field of red flags. Obviously, the artist isn't around to sign off on the project, and the degree to which the star is both financially exploitable and creatively overmined tells fans just how cautiously they should proceed before plunking down any cash.

In Jimi Hendrix's case, that's with as much caution as you'd use to defuse an atom bomb. Countless "rare" or "never-before-released" recordings have risen from Hendrix's coffin in the 40 years since his death, either officially or via bootleg. The fact that 10 years have passed since we've seen an official Hendrix release - a stretch broken by the new "Valleys of Neptune" CD - says more about the settling of longstanding lawsuits than it does about the sudden revelation of a creative gold mine.

The embattled Hendrix estate finally struck a deal with Legacy Records to reissue his classic work this year, spearheaded by "Valleys." The "new" disk touts 12 "fully realized studio recordings" offering 60 minutes of "never commercially available" music.

Technically, that's true, though several songs will be familiar to even casual fans. They include "Stone Free," heard in a less exciting version than the original, and "Red House," which has been issued in scores of versions before.

You've got to read the fine print to recognize the rarity of the takes here, many of which are, by Hendrix rehash standards, indeed individual enough to deserve attention.

Also, the pieces come from a fascinating time — a four-month stretch in 1969 that featured the final recordings of Hendrix's evolving Experience band. Some of them include new bassist Billy Cox. The result doesn't give a clear sense of where Hendrix was going. Neither does it have the surprise, or coherence, of a "lost" album. But, then, it's frickin' Hendrix, so the screaming guitars, spidery bass and thumping drums can't help but thrill.

A retread track like "Fire" may not gain much from the addition of wimpy backup vocals from Andy Fairweather Low. But who can deny the roiling sex of the thing to begin with?

Luckily, there's more singular fare, including a take on Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" that provides an implicit dialogue between one great power trio and another. The full band version of "Hear My Train A Comin'?" stands in bracing contrast to the acoustic version that appeared in the early '70s. And songs like "Ships Passing Through the Night" and "Crying Blue Rain" have never before enjoyed a sanctioned release.

So who should buy "Valleys"? Completists, obviously, and young'uns new to the fire in Hendrix's fingers and the punch of his band. As for everyone else: "Valley" won't make you see Hendrix in a new light, but it will remind you of how brightly that light shone to begin with.

Help me out here dude.

The last I heard, apart from the family, no one knows or has said anything on how "Miss Box Of Junk" died. It'd be interesting to know exactly what happened.

On the subject of "That Metal Show", the guys are coming out here in April to tape half of the season's shows in L.A.. Me and a couple friends are going to go for s and giggles, since we tend to gravitate toward catastrophies.

There are countless bands from Sweden who leave Katatonia in the dust. Their best days have long since passed. I've never understood the clamour for Opeth, either. Their songs are painfully long, boring and go nowhere.

For the record, I was there among the unwashed masses on "Heavy Metal Sunday" (as it was called) in '83. Priest were great, people slept during Triumph, the Scorpions were amazing, and David Lee Roth was drunk as .

No, I haven't heard anything about how she died either. They didn't even mention her when the new season started, just a msg at the end of the show.

Oh cool....maybe I'll see you in the audience. Flip the horns or something.
(Like I know what you look like)

I like both of those bands. But I agree, some of the best heavy metal bands come from Sweden and Norway.

Nice!!!!

Have you heard Scorpions new CD?
