ArmyBengal Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 It's not that Pittsburgh is bad, it's that their fans are abysmal to watch a game around. Same in Cleveland. I didn't have a bad experience in Baltimore, but have heard some have. Buffalo still ranks at the top for me. Shit bag city, shit bag fans. That's being nice. Quote
TJJackson Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 so when deciding on an NFL city to visit, also check out the food that is special or even unique to the city New Orleans is rife with great eats Baltimore is legendary for crab cakes and other crab-based eats Shittsburgh has, uh, well, hmm......a cold cuts sandwich that includes fries and slaw, and if you ask to not to have those on your sandwich, they yell at ya Quote

ArmyBengal Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 Good for Vrabel? I don’t think NE is a great place to be though and can’t say as I think Drake Maye is the future franchise QB they were hoping for. Whatever though… Quote

HoosierCat Posted January 23 Author Report Posted January 23 (Note I’m still considering buying tix to the Dokken concert at the Hammond Horseshoe casino on Friday…) Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 I don't why I thought Bob Segar when I read Billy Joel. That's a big no for me. Dokken? In 2025? Dude, as long as you know what you are getting into. Don Dokken hardly sings. Low tone and almost talking instead of singing these days. If I could at least hear George Lynch play the tunes, I could see it, but they have a bunch of hacks. Look them up on YouTube. Sadly horrendous. Saw Dokken, Whitesnake and Aerosmith at the Cincinnati Gardens in like 1987 or 1988. I don't think Whitesnake was suppose to be there. Stole a 1.75 liter bottle of JD from my grandpa and got wasted in the parking lot beforehand. One of the best times I had with my brother was at this concert. 17 and all kinds of girls. Back when concerts were like $15.00. So much fun to see shows back then. Lived for them. 1 Quote

AMPHAR Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Right before the COVID shutdowns. I went in cold for Poison/Cheap Trick concert. Price was under $20. My mind had completely forgotten about Cheap Trick until they started playing. Brett Michaels for all his faults from being a Steelers blow hard, puts on a great show still. I caught Aerosmith, they popped up in the lawn for about 5 of their best know hits it was awesome. There are about a handful of 80s bands I wish I could go see in their prime. Unfortunately, I have heard nightmares about Motley Crue shows and how expensive bad they are. My older brother used to tape his ticket stubs up on a wall, sometimes even burn them a little with a lighter. So bad ass. So metal. It'd be funny to see the names and prices on those. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 My brother was two years older than I was so from the time I was 14 home and I were catching shows anywhere within a couple hours all through the 80’s. Such a great time and crazy affordable. No one holding up cell phones up, missing out on what is happening right in front of them. Crowds that were into the show instead of of standing around seemingly oblivious. Still one of my favorite 80’s era concerts was the Monsters of Rock tour at the then Hoosier Dome. Van Halen, Scorpions, Metallica, Dokken and Kingdom Come. Hard to believe Metallica was in the middle of the 5 bands playing. It’s been a few years since I last saw a show. Maybe Buckcherry? I really do love music and have seen an enormous amount of shows. Should have kept the tickets. Oh well… Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 26 Author Report Posted January 26 Last concert I saw must be about 15 years ago now. Queensryche. Small venue, like 2,000 people tops. Fkking rocked. Me and a friend screaming along with Jet City Woman drunk off our ass. Fantastic night. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 Queensryche. Great band, great shows back in the day. On 1/23/2025 at 4:05 PM, Stripes said: This is the only forum left where I don’t feel old. Any talk of seeing 80’s hairbands live in their prime gives you all you need to know… I’m with you Stripes !! 1 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 First concert of my life? 1976, Riverfront Coliseum (at the time) KISS and Bob Segar. I was 6 years old and have young uncles. 1 Quote
COB Posted Sunday at 11:10 PM Report Posted Sunday at 11:10 PM First concert - 14 years old, 1977, World Series of rock in Cleveland stadium, in order it was Rick Derringer, J Geils Band, Bob Seger, and Peter Frampton. Last concert - few years ago in Columbus, farewell tour for Slayer, openers were Ministry (worst band I’ve ever heard), Phil Anselmo trying to sing some Pantera, and Primus. Quote
HoosierCat Posted Monday at 03:41 AM Author Report Posted Monday at 03:41 AM I think my first was Triumph at the Gardens. Mid 80s. Saw The Firm around the same time, great show. Sat on a boat on the Ohio at Riverbend for Robert Plant & the Honeydrippers. Not sure which was actually first but probably Triumph. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted Monday at 03:22 PM Report Posted Monday at 03:22 PM Ok, let me address a few things... Triumph might be the most underrated band of all time. I have always been a fan and it shocks me when I hear other people mention them. Agree that Ministry might be the worst band of all time. They were said to be ahead of their time. Maybe that time hasn't come yet. The singer sucks and the music is right behind him in the epicness of suckage. Although I know many that love them. Opinions and all. Slayer is a band that, if the song is good, it's really good (Dead Skin Mask = Heavy/Dark Masterpiece) and if it's bad, it horrible. Pantera is the soundtrack to my military career. Going to gym? Out for a run? Need motivation? Combat missions in Afghanistan or elsewhere in the world? All of which took place with Pantera in my ears. They absolutely crushed shit and I felt invincible when listening. Still do. 1 Quote

When I mention them I tend to get reactions like, “who?” Allied Forces is one of the best albums ever made. Wore that cassette tape waaaay out bitd. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted Monday at 05:38 PM Report Posted Monday at 05:38 PM Up until today, I think I have only met one other person who not only knew who they were, but claimed they were his favorite band. Again, I had young uncles and credit them for taking me to concerts at a young age. Thank God my parents didn't object. Concur about Allied Forces. Just amazing to listen to. Going to put it on now and listen while I work. Thanks YouTube.... 1 Quote

ArmyBengal Posted Monday at 06:04 PM Report Posted Monday at 06:04 PM It's gotten to a point I almost don't like to share with those that don't know. They've been my own little piece of perfection that people have seemingly forgotten or never knew. Since I feel like sharing today. Listen and read the lyrics. Simply an amazing tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEgpcgO4Hvk 1 Quote
