When I was a kid I loved Nazareth, Nazareth, Judas Priest, Maiden, the first album I ever bought half a generation earlier was Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath.

 

Im proud of that actually? But I'm not really a metal head. Its something you do to rev up when life doesn't. And you grow out of?

 

Here's a California band I do like. Another few years after;

 

 

I don’t consider myself a metal head in that if we met you wouldn’t even assume I listen to it.

 

short normal guy hair cut

no tats

no dye

no black clothing 

healthy looking ;)

 

but:

 

im 42 and I love metal, regularly listen to it, and don’t see that changing.

 

i don’t specifically listen to it to psyche me up....I’m opinionated to the point of snobbery when it comes to what I consider metal and or good metal so I listen to it when I want to hear quality, artistic music played by talented nerd musicians who totally care about their craft more than sales.

 

i think metal bands/musicians like to have fun deep down and I can relate to that.

 

that being said I also listen to many genres of music and a lot of mellow stuff.

Those were all true of me at 40. Wait till you turn 50?

 

Some of those will change. No choice. Some parts will revisit your youth. And I'm surprisingly still healthy looking!   

 

While we're on the subject; F me @Coconuts. Speaking of revisiting. Love Silverchair. Aussie grunge. How these guys, sadly mentioning Nirvana, survive? Their songs sometimes go to such dark places. Its amazing they can go there, express it, let it out as energy. And fans, most, sing instead of cry inside. Amazing!

Silverchair is one of the better bands of the 90's for me tbh, I wish they'd kept putting out music.  They started so young and eventually left the grungy sound behind a bit and embraced a more alt sound. It's a shame Daniel doesn't wanna be part of Silverchair anymore. I hope they put music out again someday.

Mitch had opened a joint called the West End Cultural Centre on Ellice avenue. Only a few hundred metres from my house on Young st. Local artists were given the stage for free, and a chance to get a take on the alcohol.  My ''volunteer work'' to pay off my fines consisted of tending bar at the WEC every weekend for the next few years. 

 

My first night;

Brad Roberts and CTD before they made it

 

Frickin Mitch! He never filed the paperwork for my volunteer work. About two years later I was arrested again & had to pay the fines off.

 

Oh well. It was so much fun.  

 

oh man, I lived on sherbrook near portage when I lived in wpg, I used to go to the WEC for shows all the time. Good times.

EDIT:

because this song mentions the underground/skywalk that includes the arena.

I cant say I'm fond of that song. LOL, but it is funny; ''I hate Winnipeg!" 

 

Well after I left town for Vancouver, 91'?  These guys came out came out, give or take 98. My favourite local act. Blue print is a pin to pin a great album / cd.
