OFF: decent US Metal bands

[DRider]

Never been into meeting band members, celebrities etc....

However, I have met a few. The most memorable would be meeting all the
members of Iron Maiden on the Beast On The Road tour when they came to
Buzzards Nest Records in Columbus, Ohio to sign autographs before the
show......
It was also cool to meet the members of UFO on the 1995 American Tour. They
were all very very cool. Schenker had his own camper w/ his wife and kids
and the rest of the band had their own tour bus. They actually invited me
and my friend John into the bus to sign autographs after the public signing
and they were crankin Humble Pie's Rockin The Fillmore on the stereo....

Never met the Metallica boys, but I will trust your opinion. My friend Paul
Resnik went backstage when Metallica played Richfield Coliseum and told me
that they were doing mounds of coke. So that verifies what you say.....

When he told me that, it seemed weird knowing the lyrics to Master of
Puppets. Maybe, those lyrics are some sort of self-loathing......?

I saw them on every tour, up to and including And Justice For All and I
thought they were great live.

Meeting them may have proven to be a disappointment......

In August of 1997 when Hawkwind played the Phantasy Theater in Cleveland,
Ron Tree asked me if I had any coke. That REALLY disappointed me!!

Total Eclipse

I saw that tour, Metallica was only into "who had some coke".   I still have
my Ride the Lightning LP from the show signed by everyone.  They were
idiots.

I offered to smoke some "hemp" with a band member and he said, "bring some
coke to the spaced out bus".  I explained to him I wasn't into hard drugs
and
he told me that..."hemp slows me down, forget it".

The show wasn't that good except for Wasp.

Email me for pics of Metallica signing things at the record store.

Once again...They were idiots.
