It's been awhile, and I have been wanting to get back to the blog. In November my laptop fried. :( - It was getting old and could barely run WoW, but I kept pushing playing Rift constantly on it. Anyone who's played Rift knows how intensive that game can be on a system. Well my awesome family all pitched in and got me this beauty for Christmas. :)

An Alienware M15X - 1GB Radeon HD 585 / i7 proc / 6GB RAM - Yeah, I had a good Christmas.

Wife suprised me with tickets, and I suprised her with a suite downtown on the lake and dinner reservations... Going to be a fun night in Austin.

Looking forward to this show.

Sammy's not doing bad for 64 years old. Satch rocks the solo's as always.

Over the weekend I was trying to catch up on some DVR'd TMS shows. One had Sammy as a guest and I was never a big Hagar fan I do love Chickenfoot. It got me remembering where he came from before the "Red Rocker" and the movie Heavy Metal. Completely forgot just how good Montrose really was.

Some know, mostly clanmates, that I had been waiting awhile to go to the Anthrax/Testament/Death Angel show over the weekend. It was awesome, It was loud... I mean LOUD!!!

Me and the wife (her 1st metal show) got lucky in arriving early and the great security they got there escorting us to where the line was starting for people with hard copy tickets in hand. This allowed us to grab a really great spot up front right next to the rail.

Here's a look at Death Angel doing Relentless Revolution. ( It was so loud that most audio was distorted beyond use, I had to splice in a different audio track just to make it)

More to come as I process them.
