Tales From The Stage – Nine Inch Nails

On April 13, 2022April 13, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Memories1 Comment

Gonna turn back the clock to the year 2000 and talk about a much-anticipated show I took in. The gig was Nine Inch Nails with A Perfect Circle opening and it took place at the end of May in St. Louis. It was a gig with some marquee names and – well, something of a …

Tales From The Stage – King Diamond, 2005

On March 16, 2022March 15, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Memories5 Comments

It's time for another concert recap, this time I'm going back to 2005 when I went to see one of metal's legends live. It was my first and to date only time seeing him. The tour was supported by 3 bands that have gone on to become bigger names in the extreme metal community. There …

Memories – Straight To Hell

On February 25, 2022February 24, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Memories1 Comment

I'm winding down the main crux of my Memories series now. There is only really one more part to go after this one. This page recounts my older posts about what I've listened to over the years. This time I'm going to get into the years 2006-2010, which brought a very radical series of changes …

Tales From The Stage – Sevendust and Machine Head, 1999

On February 4, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Memories1 Comment

One thing I want to start doing more is to look back at concerts and shows I've been too. It's nice to remember them – as the time and distance gets longer from when I saw the show the details start to get fuzzy. And also in the pandemic age where I've been to one …

This is the next post in my “Memories” series, outlining where I've been through the various times and scenes of music through my life. I've set up a page to help keep track of this stuff, here is where anyone interested can find more information about this. This one is a bit different as I …

None More Black

On December 8, 2021December 8, 2021 By bigbadburchIn Memories2 Comments

Awhile back I went over my first introduction to extreme metal. Death metal has been a part of my music diet for a long time now, and many other things associated with extreme music are also in my collection. But today I want to get into the other big movement in extreme music, the one …

Back To The Show

On November 3, 2021November 2, 2021 By bigbadburchIn MemoriesLeave a comment

It's fair to say that COVID has totally wreaked havoc on the music industry. Tours were canceled in 2020 and have been faltering to get off the ground again this year. Acts were left at home for a year with nothing to do but record albums that they can't promote on the road, the only …

To The Extreme

On September 29, 2021September 28, 2021 By bigbadburchIn Memories1 Comment

I've worked through a fair bit of my earlier memories in terms of music in earlier posts. These "memories" posts are piling up now so I won't back-reference every one, but the “Memories” tab in Categories on the sidebar will direct you to any older ones you may wish to peruse. For today, I'll pick …

Wasted Years – My Iron Maiden Memories

On September 8, 2021September 7, 2021 By bigbadburchIn MemoriesLeave a comment

If you've read any of my stuff you've noticed I get a lot into my memories associated with music. It's something I like to do as a way of noting the personal meaning a song or album might have to me, something that separates what I do from a typical “review,” as it were. I …

Made By Metal

On September 1, 2021September 1, 2021 By bigbadburchIn MemoriesLeave a comment

So far I've been over my first forays into music and also the period of the late '80's where I got big into hair metal. Today it's time to drop the hair and really get into metal. I'm going to save part of this for next week. Simply put, Iron Maiden is my favorite band …
