Happy birthday Karen ❤xxx

Thank you for the show and great picks! 1. Testament (seeing in September woohoo) 2. Alice In Chains 3. Judas Priest (Might see them in October) 4. Marilyn Manson 5. Rancid

I was lucky enough to see Crypta last year at a small venue. They were incredible!

I saw Billy Squier in 1984 with Ratt great show.

A few years a go,I saw Midge Ure play at the Record Bar in Kansas City.I didn't expect any shows in the US from Midge.i still can't believe he actually played with in 10 miles of home.After the show,I told my brother that if Midge can come here all the way from England,than I should not give up on ever seeing Thomas Dolby. Thomas is playing Kansas City in a couple of weeks.I have been a fan since the first album.He has never played any where near here before. Another artist I never thought I would see are Sparks,They played the Midland Theater last summer.I am pretty sure they had never played any where in Missouri before. As for artists on my bucket list; Yngwie Malmsteen Helloween Saxon The Fixx

I saw Billy Squier open for Foreigner and he blew Mick & Lou offstage! It was October 21, 1981 at the Nassau Coliseum, Squier was touring for Don’t Say No and Foreigner were playing their first tour after jettisoning two members. Squier and his band had such a high energy show and 4nr were more laid back. The winner was easily William Haislip Squier, from Massachusetts. I dig his first five albums, after that he gets a wee bit spotty. Cool show, folks. Thanks for entertaining us, every other Monday, for lo these many years now! Cheers from The Big, Bad, Bog of an Apple. Rock Out, Prog On and Pogo! Your clone and mine, ~ The Demonic Doppelgänger of Davey Cretin, from CRETIN CLASSICS.

Thought I gave this vid a 👍 yesterday. Apparently I didn't so 👍today. 🤘I agree with the Count. Asphyx would be awesome to see live. The Rack is one of my favorite Death Metal albums of all time. Autopsy as well. 🤘Btw who didn't Dan Lilker not play bass for lol. Dude rules. Very cool he filled in for Frank in Anthrax recently. It's like his career has gone full circle.

Aloha from Brazil !!!!👍😍👍

1. Candlemass 2. Saxon 3. The Misfits 4. Only Living Witness - they tried a reunion a few years ago and it fell apart, I'm hoping they manage to pull it back together 5. Discharge

This was a cool one. How about a follow up with a list of acts you had a chance to see , but missed for whatever reason, who you will again have the opportunity to see?

I saw Cirith Ungol for the first time just a few weeks ago. It took over 40 years for it to happen, but good things come to those that wait.

I too have my Aldo Nova cassette around here somewhere. Flight to Sacramento in Oct for KK's Priest and Accept, then back to Portland that same week for Judas Priest and Sabaton.

Not a big fan of Twisted Sister, but Dee Snider is a class act. Good on him for thinking of the other members of the band.

I saw The Stones in 2015 for FREE!! Great show, probably won't get to see them again

I saw aldo nova open for sammy hagar at at small hall in 83. Ist album was big at the time. Great show. It was Standing Hampton tour for Sammy

Happy 'belated' Birthday greetings to Karen .., another great episode - i, totally enjoyed (although, i've been a subscriber to things rock|metal for 30+ years, there's so much more in which all of you make reference to that i find interesting and am yet to experience) the lone big concert that i had seen and was more than over-joyed to have attended was Scorpions in 2008 on their "Humanity: Hour 1" tour at the Queens Park Savannah (being on vacation) in Trinidad, Orange Sky was the opening act - the show was superb and a memorable one for me .. .., i missed out on quite a few showcases in Trinidad (not being able to afford a trip from Guyana) as Quiet Riot, Warrant, Firehouse, Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas, Dokken, Night Ranger, Skid Row, Hatebreed, Evanescence, the Iron Maidens all played there at one point in time .. .., wishing that i could have seen more bands in my lifetime (as much as you guys did or will most likely see in the immediate future) and that almost all that was highlighted, including Alice Cooper (am a fan of a few albums in his catalog, especially those with Kane Roberts on guitar), the bands that Count Ralfus mentioned (Atheist, Candlemass, Asphyx) and those of Chris Alo (Crypta, Nervosa), Ryan Skow always has much of the grandest of mentions that completely blows my mind (i'll definitely be checking out the albums by Scald, The Crown and Stargazer), Craig spoke of Krokus, Helloween, Rob touched on Accept, King Diamond, Katatonia and Pete's picks were excellent! .. .., i'm glued watching you guys - i mentioned and showed my wife: Elaine as to how much fun and an education (i'm continuously kept informed on the subject of so many great bands in the spotlight or obscure) sharing your own experiences, stories - reminds me of the years, as to when we had the Hit Parader heavy metal mag|fanzines, MTV's Headbanger's Ball, TBS Night Tracks, Much Music, now there's shows like "The Hudson Valley Squares" on KZfaq - great stuff! .....

I've been fortunate to see so many bands over the years but here are some I'd still like to see. Pentagram Devo Candlemass Paradise Lost Warrior Soul

LOL @ Pete who starts laughing when Ryan says ''their vocalist died''.

I think you are so lucky I need to always travel to see anybody as I live in Saskatchewan it would be great to only go a hour

Saw the Rolling Stones last in 2005 on the Bigger Bang tour. Great show, but haven't been back since due to ridiculously expensive ticket prices.

My Top 3 Evildead Xentrix Morbid Saint

There should be a future show of bands you've finally checked off your bucket list

Still a tone of bands on my bucket list and I’m usually so jealous of all the shows you guys have seen, but strangely I’ve ticket off a few of your picks, I saw The Stones in 2022 in Liverpool, Diamond Head opening for Saxon shortly before Brian joined Saxon in Glasgow 2022 and Discharge in 2023 at Morecambe Punk festival.

1. Paul McCartney 2. Alex Lifeson or/and Geddy Lee 3. Gojira 4. King Crimson/Robert Fripp 5. Black Sabbath (any of the OG Members) HM: Blue Oyester Cult, Billy Joel, Mastodon, Riverside, UFO, Hawkwind, Mercyful Fate, David Gilmour, Carl Palmer, Haken, Foo Fighters

The Scald album is tremendous I've been playing that a lot lately, love the demos on the second disc in Russian, highly recommended

Another highly entertaining episode from the HSV group. Thanks to everyone who was able to be on the panel and share their choices. The personal list would be fairly short but would include Cats In Space if they ever come to southeast U.S.

Saw Billy Squire twice in Detroit area. Once on the Ratt tour as the co-headliner and also opening for Queen I think on the Hot Space tour.

For me these bands I'd like to see live if I get a chance. 1. Autopsy 2. Judas Priest 3. Between the Buried and Me 4. Megadeth 5. Metallica 6. Airbourne Also happy birthday Karen. :)

I’m glad saw a few Stones show in arenas back in the day

1) Threshold 2) Al diMeola 3) Helloween 4) Nightwish 5) Anthrax

I seen Billy Squire with Black Sabbath on the Heaven and Hell Tour in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bill Ward was still on the tour at the time.

I saw Mudhoney open for Aldo Nova in 1991!

Couple of comments for a surprisingly fun topic! 1) did Ralph get a haircut???? 2) autopsy plays here in Philly at the Fillmore on August 31st. It’s the Decible anniversary or something. 3) Billy Squier played at Penns Peak, Craig should have been at this venue, once or twice in recent years. 4) does Nasty Savage still play once in awhile? I’ve never seen them

I'm lucky to have seen the Stones twice, John McLaughlin, Discharge & OFF! Have seen most of my favourite acts, but have also never seen ELO or Blondie.

I’d like to see Weird Al! I think that would be a great show. I haven’t seen Dream Theater yet. Soon! Rival Sons, Larkin Poe, Porcupine Tree, Robin Tower, Santana.

Vandenberg's last album, 'SIN,' was really good! I dig it!

Thanks Ryan Scald cd ordered amazing arrives Friday

Catching the replay🤘🍻

Hi Guys and Karen. Here is my list foo the top of my head. i have the olds so a couple of these bands i might have seen way back in the day. Sorry. Top 3 i got into Later. Fly Over Country Here. 1. Metal Church 2. Candlemass 3. King Diamond 4. Saxon - I might have seen them back in the day? 5. Exciter - Same as Saxon 6. Slayer? Is Slayer still performing? 7. Riot 8. Styx - Coming here in October

I’m surprised you missed the McLaughlin tour from a few years back with Jimmy Herring. They did a third set of Mahavishnu tunes and it was incredible. I caught them twice. DC and at the Keswick. Birds of Fire, Meeting, Dance of Maya etc. they did about 8 tunes and they smoked. John played the double neck. The whole thing.

Mine are: 1) Mercyful Fate - in 2022 it was traveling to see this or Nick Mason's Pink Floyd tribute and I did the Nick show. I really don't regret that, but neither tour hit my town and they both hit California a couple weeks apart. 2) ZZ Top - and even seeing them I'm still missing Dusty Hill. I had tickets to see them at a county fair which ended up being the hottest day of the Summer. I also had diaherria, so I wasn't going to spend that concert in 120 degree port-a-potties. I did manage to see Reverend Billy on his first solo tour though. 3) Heart - I'm actually seeing them in September! Long overdue! 4) Drudkh - Ukrainian black metal band that is located on the Eastern border of that country (Russian side). Unlikely to happen. I don't think they play very much (or at all?), but they're still active at least. 5) Ruins of Beverast - I know they've played MDF at least. I saw Billy Squire with Blue Murder and King's X in 1989. I saw Atheist open for Cattle Decapitation in Fort Lauderdale in 2019. I actually watched that in the balcony with their second bassist, Tony Choy! Good dude. Saw Discharge at a club here with Eyehategod. They were phenominal. And have seen Autopsy multiple times living on the West Coast, so fucking good.

Pete, Alice in Chains does tour fairly often, usually when they get around to putting an album out, and often on shitty summer tours where they're lower on the line-up, I skip those. AiC was on the Clash of the Titans tour because Death Angel got into that horrible bus accident. I did see that tour at the Lakeland Civic Center. Slayer was first of the three headliners that night as they were rotating slots (after AiC played first), and the first disc of Decade of Aggression was that show (incorrectly credited as the Lakeland Coliseum on the album). Although "newer", I'd add Lucifer as someone I'd like to see. And since Duran Duran was invoked, they're not on my list, but I'd go with another 80's group, the Eurythmics. Or Annie Lennox solo. She's one of the greatest voices of our time. King Alo you forgot Michael Bolton. But only if he's playing "Fool's Game". 🤘🏼

These are in no particular order: 1) The Obsessed 2) Black Country Communion 3) Cats In Space 4) Lucifer 5) King Buffalo

A very belated happy birthday to Karen LaPreziosa, an all-star panelist if ever there was one! Regarding Pete's question as it pertains to Kelly Shaefer, I believe he was sadly afflicted with a particularly severe case of carpal tunnel and tendonitis--according to interviews with the man himself, he is still able to play while sitting down, but has difficulty making a fist for picking while standing, and thus delegated his own duties to be solely vocal-focused so as to keep live performances pumped with the same level of energy and intensity. Somewhat reminds me of Immortal's Demonaz, who also handed off guitar duties after experiencing nerve issues, and simply relegated himself to the role of songwriter and composer instead

Quick story..a buddy of mine saw Leppard open for Billy Squire at the spectrum in Philly..he said the crowd was soo into Def Leppard they kept calling for them when Billy came out..he played like one song flipped off the crowd cursed them out and walked off stage 😂😂

My bucket list to see top 5 are: 1) W.A.S.P. (have tickets to see them in Minneapolis in November) 2) Armored Saint 3) Obituary 4) Exodus 5) Night Demon

Happy Birthday Karen!!!!! My 5 - All bands I'd love to see but rarely if ever make it to Indianapolis Black Country Communion Katatonia Vanden Plas Steven Wilson Amorphis

Happy Birthday Karen! I love the Black Angels and haven't seen them yet either.

Alo is correct. Def Leppard opened for Squire in may of 83 here in cleveland. It was the pyromania tour. And, i love Dirty Looks, but the original singer is dead and he was great. Cool from the wire is one of my fav 80s metal album

Happy Birthday Karen. I had a chance to see Heart at Radio 🎉City 1977 I big mistake Magic.Man̈? ❤ Dee Snyder Still Honest Beggars Opera Queens Speaks 76❤

y’all made me put that ST Aldo Nova cd in my Amazon wishlist

1. Tangerine Dream 2. Steve Roach 3. Vektor

Hey fun show ! Here are a few names that I wish i still could see : Muse Roger Waters Paul McCartney Tool Steve Hackett

Unfortunately being in Australia, a lot of the bands mentioned don't tour here due to cost etc. I would love to see Saxon. They have only ever done 2 shows here a few years ago.Opeth i would like to see next time they tour.Loreena McKennitt is on my bucket list...Fingers crossed.

I saw Billy Squire open for the WHO in the early eighties.

Karen always names & recommends great bands

Saw Aldo open for BOC at Palace in Albany 1982. Good show. Saw Billy Squier open for Foreigner in 1981 on Don't Say No/Foreigner 4 tour. Squier rocked, played stuff from Piper days and Tale of the Tape. Saw Vandenberg open for Ozzy on Speak of the Devil tour with Jake. Vandenberg were great, high-energy show. Artists I'd like to see are Fripp/King Crimson, Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree, Toto, Uriah Heep, Grand Funk (only with Mark Farner). Deceased artists I never saw but would have liked to have seen are Gary Moore, Phil Lynott 70s Thin Lizzy, Queen with Mercury.

Should be a good one. My first inclination is to say Triumph, but of course they're not active. And of course Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but also not active. I crossed off Europe last year, and Uriah Heep this year. I'm sure there probably is someone I'm forgetting.

Happy birthday Karen 🧶

Aldo Nova recently toured. Great show. Here's my list. 1. Hellacopters 2. Imperial State Electric 3. Blue Oyster Cult 4. Krokus 5. Accept

Amorphis

1. Scorpions with Uli Jon Roth & Michael Schenker 2. Metallica with Dave Mustaine 3. Michael Schenker & Phil Mogg. 4. Overkill with Bobby Gustafson. 5. 4ARM with the original singer.

1. Coroner 2. Ac/Dc 3. Sodom 4. At The Gates 5. Rolling Stones First five off the top of my head

My two biggest are King Diamond, Slipknot and Anthrax

My top three is Steve Winwood, Robert Plant, and Adam Ant.

I am thinking about a classic Sea of Tranquility show with Martin Popooff and Pete. It was April fool's day. Martin said that ACDC was the poor man's Rose tattoo 😂😂😂

Stones were/are fantastic live. Saw them in 1990 at Maine Road. Mine would be Bardo Pond, a drone/Psychedelic band from Philly. Not sure they'll ever cross the pond again sadly. My favourite band the last decade or so is Blut Aus Nord, a Black Metal outfit from France but they've never played live so no chance of that (bit of a one man project). I'd like to see Tool and Meshuggah also

1. AC/DC for me I have not seen them yet had a chance back in 2016 in Detroit, but Brian Johnson had hearing problems and Band postponed shows and moved till later in the year with AXl Rose I got a refund, hope for 2025 they come to America 2. John Fogerty- I have not seen him yet always love his music and CCR, but taking care of that this August I’m taking my family to see him for the first time live with George Thorogood & the Destroyers 3. Black Stone Cherry 4. Peter Frampton 5. Winery Dogs

When Skow said Denmark it clicked in my brain, Mercyful fucking Fate! I knew there was someone I was forgetting. Top of the list if I had one.

update…i just purchased that Aldo Nova cd…shout out to Chris Alo

Pete I think Kelly from Atheist has carpal tunnel syndrome which is why he doesn't play guitar anymore. Another band I'd love to see.

The only time I ever witnessed Billy Squier Live, he was fronting Piper. They were pretty much classic rock/rock 'n' roll. Like a less Hard Rock Black Crowes.

Alo makes these shows !

Fantasy is a perfect song

Virgin Steele - Not played in over 10 years in America Running Wild - Been over 30 years since playing America Eternal Champion - Amazing NWOTHB, rarely play east coast Saxon - Finally coming over more, keep missing them Riot/Riot Act - Rarely play the north east

Fast 'n' Bulbousfest: 1. Colour Haze 2. Motorpsycho 3. Troubled Horse (unsure about their status) 4. Rosalie Cunningham 5. The Sonic Dawn Blues Pills Causa Sui Jess and the Ancient Ones Mansion Spidergawd Spiders Teen Judge The Vintage Caravan It was a pleasant surprise that Witch played Austin Psych Fest this year, cuz J. Mascis was also doing a solo tour at the same time! Black Angels plays at least a couple times a year at their curated Psych & Levitation fests in Austin. Come on down, Karen, it's yr birfday! As far as all-time fave bands, the ones that broke up before I could see them, I've done my best to huff the fumes of their former bands via Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Lou Reed, Jeff Lynne's ELO, P-Funk Allstars, Bob Mould, etc. Some of the ones below, I can't keep track of whether they're still cobbling together lineups for reunions, but I'd consider seeing them: The Rolling Stones Queen The Who Yes King Crimson The Chameleons Roxy Music Echo & the Bunnymen Killing Joke Bauhaus The Church Black Flag

Bands I would like to see: AC/DC, Sabaton, Leather Leone (solo or by some miracle Chastain tours) and Overkill.

The Hellacopters!

Had tickets for Krokus on their farewell too to see them in Cleveland. Obviously, they canceled because of COVID and they've never returned.

- Dream Theater with the godfather (probably Croatia late this year) - Transatlantic, I miss the show in Romania (prog festival) - Flower Kings - Wobbler - Agusa - And Agent fu***ing steeeel

Tom Waits Carcass Therion Voivod Solitude Aeturnus

Love to see Saxon and Priest. And can that one guy say f*ck a few more times? Good Lord!

Aloha! Metalucifer Anthem Saxon Raven Loudness

You can get tickets for the stones day of for 150 bucks

I wanna know why the Hudson Valley Rectangles are called the Hudson Valley Squares? How did this happen?

Subject is Aldo Novas best album and a really good album.

Dirty Looks is playing Friday July 29th in Philly at The Masquerade

This will be unpopular here but…. Ghost.The stage show looks over the top and I like the music

I would need a time machine to see all the best legacy bands in clubs or theaters for the most intimate experience. I'm a long time done with big arena's and rip off prices.

112 here in Nevada

The last census showed that only 2.6% of the UK population have not seen Hawkwind live. Hell, I'm not their biggest fan but even I have seen both Nik Turner and The Hawklords as well. Dave Brock (God bless him) played Stonehenge on the 10th anniversary of its construction I think but crossing the Atlantic might just be getting a bit too much for him now. I'm still hoping the best Scandinavian prog bands (Anekdoten, Anglagard, Ritual) play the UK. They would complete my bucket list.

I know I have seen Billy Squire and Aldo Nova as opening acts but going back decades openers are a blur.

Black Country Communion, according to Glenn, planning live dates for 2025, how many or where is anyones guess.😅

1. Mercyful Fate 2. Loudness 3. Destruction 4. Kreator 5. Sodom

Subject …..Aldo Nova was a good record.

There's a bunch of NWOTHM bands I'd love to see, but I'll go with the oldies: Black Country Communion Grave Digger Metal Church Michael Monroe Rose Tattoo

I have never seen ELO in the 50 years of going to concerts. Jeff Lynne says this tour is it. It's over after this. I caved in and bought an expensive ticket. Is it really ELO with just Jeff as an original? I don't know. But he still sounds amazing and the band never sounded better. Same reason I bought those expensive Aerosmith tickets on the floor. I do believe these guys when they say this is it. Even if it's not.. Their on borrowed time and only have a few years left. It ain't the 70's anymore! Enjoy these shows while you can.

One person I have never seen live and am running out of time to do so: Neil Young

Rolling Stones ticket prices have flattened on the secondary market on the current tour. My daughter wanted to see. 90 bucks + junk fees for GA on the back of the floor. But, yeah stadium shows suck, and might be last time

GWAR, Europe, & Cirith Ungol
