It’s because you were “caught somewhere in time”!
Haha I see what you did there!!It’s because you were “caught somewhere in time”!
Great album and a great tune. You have excellent taste.
Thats funny you brought up Stryker. Oz Fox lives close by. At least he used to.I was kind of a shit back then. Some of the metal fans would go on about Maiden being the devils music and blah blah blah. Then I’d hit with bands like Venim, Celtic Frost and Possesed and they had no clue what I was talking about. Then I’d tell em those bands made Maidens devil music sound like a harder version of the Christian metal band, Stryper.
I take the devils music serious, maaaaaan!
Oh wow. Years ago (mid 80’s) my aunt asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I wanted the album Emperors Return from Celtic Frost. She bought me a fucking Stryper album! Didn’t open it, had other plans.
Nice! I dont really know them. I remember the band, but not the music. I was into TSOL, and Black Flag then.
Is Australia worse than Africa pricewise?I did the weekend pair in Toronto in ‘19. Plenty of other times as well. There of course places I either don’t truly care for venue wise, or I may not be comfortable somewhere, or whatever. I don’t travel alone though. But, thankfully, that what your tour fam is for. Greatest people on earth, and we’re everywhere.
But for the most part, I’m pretty good just about anywhere really. Why?
Gotta see my jam. Got my “fix” if you will.
Only continent I’m missing is Australia. That one takes a good chunk on its own, without the rest of whichever tour. I’m getting the point balances up there, so maybe the next album tour or the one after, dates depending.
This past summer would have been my “weakest” effort in 15 years or so at 5 shows. But it’s the third year of the same tour, which was strangely unexpected. And really, I was going to go to more but figured I’d use it on the house instead. One of those things where if you do 15 you might as well do the rest anyway since you‘re already over there. The fun thing is I can sit and work traveling between shows. Really really helps. I take sporadic days as needed, but gotta love the internet.
Damn! You’re a die hard live venue enthusiast!! Would love to go to Australia for a holiday yet alone a concert!! That be bad ass!!I did the weekend pair in Toronto in ‘19.

I saw Motley Cruz with Mega Death and Anthrax at Vortex's favorite venue on the planet, in San Bernardino.
Thats cool. I wouldnt know him from Jesus Christ without Scott Ian. My only real claim to fame like that was a small party in LA where I got to hangout with Rocky George from Suicidal Tendencies. I was a huge Sui fan so it was a big deal. My only other star struck moment was meeting Muttsy the comedian on a cruise ship... not quite the life changing event
Blood sugar is in the weeds. Ill be ok. Thanks man
