Happy Holidays! I hope you folks had a great Thanksgiving. I did, even though I was sick AF with a cold on Thanksgiving, and I almost had to take a baseball bat to some psycho who was chasing my GF in a roadrage fit. He cut her off recklessly on the highway, so she flipped him off, he got pissed and decided to harrass/scare/chase her around. She calls me up scared to death, saying they are about to pull up to my house, so I jump up, grab my Big Stick baseball bat by my front door and run outside without thinking. They pull around the corner fast AF and sure enough, some douchebag is chasing my GF all crazy like, acting afool. This pisses me off, bad! Chasing/scaring women like that? What kind of man does that? So I raise my baseball bat like a samurai warrior (I even had my hair up in a manbun like a samurai warrior) and dare this POS to step out and face a real man, instead of scaring innocent women. He drives off like a little bitch. What a coward! The funny part is – It wasn't until a bit later that I fully realized that I had run outside wearing these ridiculously fuzzy high socks halfway to my knees! OMG. Maybe thats why he ran. Ha.

Speaking of Thanksgiving – I've had a great month. I saw four great shows (see Reviews for ALL). Slayer at the Yum, King Diamond at Louisville Palace, my former bandmates new Journey Tribute band called Departure, at a new venue called Odeon, and last but not least – I got to jam with legendary old friends Crazy Train (The Ozzy Tribute) at Louisville Billiards. It was a lovely second show back with my band Krosjoint. And I got to spend some quality time with my GF and family. Things aren't too bad for me these days. I play in two kickass rock/metal bands, have a badass dodge Challenger, and have an arsenal of expensive guitars that any guitarist would drool over. I have a GF who loves me. And I get to do my music thing, which I love!

I am a blessed guy, and thankful for ALL of it.

I may be blessed, but I gotta tell you, the scene is in a shitty place right now. Two more venues have closed down. The Paddock Pub recently closed with almost no warning, and Trixie;s Tiger Room abruptly closed its doors and was auctioned off to a guy who is going to build an Ethiopian Community Center or whatever. Aye aye ayeeeee. This the worst I have ever seen for our once triumpant music scene. I liked the Paddock because I could walk there, because it was one house down from where I live. Trixie’s I liked as well, but I was never given the respect there that I have earned twenty times over in this town, and that was quite disappointing. One would think that playing hundreds upon hundreds of shows, and opening for many national acts, having pro gear (unlike a lot of idiots playing $150 guitars and shit amps), having actual good songs, and longtime Louisville veterans in the band would be enough, but I guess not these days, at some places. So that place closing is really no skin off my sack. It does suck for those who were in favor there though, and for that I am sorry. All I can say is, get off your asses and look around, there are possibilities everywhere for potential venues, if you look hard enough and have a vision and the enthusiasm to do something to make it happen! I'm the cat who who got original music really thriving at The Toy Tiger in the mid-Nineties, and eventually the Phoenix Hill in 2000. Do you think that happened because I sat around and dreamed of opportunities dropping in my lap? No. I got out and hustled and made shit happen! I talked to people/venues/owners! And the shows that came of that hustling became legendary in this town. The heyday of original music in Louisville. You too can do this.

So don't give up people. Venues like Louisville Billiards are stepping up, so perhaps other venues would be willing to try new stuff.

It's worth a try! It don't hurt to ask.

Christmas is coming up (December 25 is my birthday), and the next time you read my column I will be 50 years old! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I think my birthday present to myself will be to retreat to another log cabin somewhere with a hot tub and fireplace. Sounds good, don't it??

Aye aye ayeeeee ( a good one!)

The Metal Grapevine

Slayer/Ministry/Primus/Phil Anselmo Review (Pics by C. Michael Stewart) :

Unfortunately my camera was acting a fool this night (I think getting caught in the pouring rain walking to venue from parking lot might have had a hand in that), and I didn't get the pictures I was hoping for. Luckily my buddy C. Michael Stewart came to the rescue with his pictures! What a time/place for my camera to fail! I was upset and stressed to the max about it, too, like a chicken with it's head cut off, trying like hell to fix the issue, to no avail. That sucked ass! Other than that setback, it was a great night! First off, this show even being at The Yum Center was a shock to me. There not so heavy shows, but rather more commercial endeavors. So this is the heaviest show there by far, and I and many others were grateful for it. More than you can ever know! First Louder Than Life, and now this? Louisville has finally gotten put on the map as far as big shows go, and I love it! If somebody would have told me this would happen six years ago I would have laughed in their faces and said “yeah right. ” So thank you to all who have made these things happen.

Phil Anselmo hit the stage at a very early 6 P. M, but there was no way I was going to miss Pantera's lead vocalist back in action. No way! Phil lit into several Pantera classics like it was child’s play, burning through classics like “Mouth For War,” “Becoming,” “This Love,” ”I'm Broken,” “Domination” and “A New Level. ” I had seen Pantera many, many times, being an old fart as I am (even partying with Phil backstage when I was a radio DJ on 100. 5 The Fox), and I gotta tell you, it makes me very happy to see Phil off the dope and doing well again. To be honest, I didn't think he would make it alive much longer back when he was strung out, but here he is kicking ass once again. And kick ass he did! His voice was in decent form as he raged through the short set with his fine band. His backing musicians were rocking and I have no complaints whatsoever, except one that I'm sure everyone bitches about, a complaint that that no one can do anything about. No Dimebag on guitar. Guitarist Mike Deleon does a fine, fine job on guitar! But who on earth can imitate Dimebag? It's a ridiculously tall order for which only a man of near god-like status could fill. No mortal can do that! So I'm gonna show the love and just say Mr Deleon did as well as anyone could have, trying to fill such big shoes. The tones were crushing as they have to be playing Pantera, and the drums were thunder. What an opener! Absolutely crushing! Two thumbs up!

Chicago's Ministry was next, and I was honestly never really a fan, and had only seen them once in all my days covering music, and that was at Jillian’s downsatirs where the sound was doody. But at the Yum, they ended up making me a fan by the end of the night. Al Jourgensen is a little dude who packed a pretty big punch as he pounded his way through a set of songs that I even know, not being a fan. I admit I wasn't thrilled about Ministry being there, but at the end of it all, I was glad they were! For they put on one energetic set of rockin' tunes! It was badass. I love being proven wrong and to find out otherwise!

Little Al was killin' it, playing songs like “Stigmata,” “a Black Sabbath cover “Supernaut,” “Just One Fix,” “New World Order, “Thieves” and “Jesus Built My Hotrod.” The sound was killer and my faves were “N. W. O” and “Just One Fix.” I like that Al plays guitar as well as sings and was ripping it up on those high notes on “New World Order. ' He had his lighted cross in front of his mic as the smoke twirled all around him throughout the set. The keyboard samples and industrial thing has never been my thing, but it was different and I enjoyed the alien industrial sounds of Ministry. It's a prefect blend of thrash (“Thieves” was fast as f**k), metal, industrial and groove. The band was tight and crisp and I have no complaints once again. Al's voice was on point and he sounded just like his albums. Not many pull that chore off. Al did! Well done, sir. Awesomeness.

Primus was the co headliner, and with good cause. Here is another band I've never really got into much. I met Les once at Ozzfest in the Nineties and he didn't leave a great impression, but there is no doubting his skills on bass. He is one of the best bassists out there in my opinion. Guitarist Larry Lalonde was guitarist for early Eighties death metal demons Possessed way back in the day before Primus, and I was a fan of theirs, so I love Larry's playing. Together, these two are truly amazing. They played “Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers,” “Too Many Puppies,” and “Wynona's Big Brown Beaver” There was a Rush cover, “Cygnus X-1,” next, which sounded great with all the space scenery on the screens (the bass was kicking in this song, for you can't play Rush with no crushing bass tone), then “Mr Krinkle,” “My name Is Mud,” and ended with “Jerry Was a Race Car Driver. ” I'm not a fan of Les' vocals primarily, but there is no denying the music. Les's bass skills are otherworldly for sure. He did a bass solo that goes down in my books as one of the best ever! And do you know how many concerts I have seen and reviewed? Thousands! I saw Cliff Burton at Cardinal staduim for god’s sake! Les pulled out a standup electric bass, hooked up delay and distortion to it, and proceeded to jam on it with a freaking bow! Slapping the bow onto the string in a repetative fashion. The result was wicked. It was a metal chunk sound that was heavy as hell, almost sounding like a metal guitar riff. The delay added a eerie sound effect to the already trippy solo. It was so cool, and had MF'ers captivated from the start to finish. Talk about neat.

The video screens during Primus were odd, as you can imagine. It's hard to put into words a Primus experience. Seeing LaLonde and Claypool let loose was something special. Yeah the vocals may be weird and a little lackluster, but the musicianship more than makes up for that for sure. My favorite parts were “Wynona's Big Brown Beaver” and that unreal bass Bow solo. Like I said, that bass solo was something else. One of the best bassists on the planet, for sure!

Watching Les play that bass was like watching a elephant go down on a hyena. Something you don't see every day.

Slayer time! What can I say about Slayer? A lot. I have a history with these guys. I have partied with them several times. Been backstage VIP at their album release bash in Chicago, and even hung out with them on their tour bus (and got the pics to prove it!). They have been an influence to me as a metal guitarist and several of my musician friends as well. These guys are like gods. What they have done in music is huge, and they did it their way! And if it is really over for them, then I hope they ride off into the sunset with all the things they had ever hoped for. I've seen them numerous times – too many to count – and they always put on a great show, every freaking time! Never once did they slack or bullshit around. Growing up, all of us teenagers listened to Slayer religiously, and were adorned with Slayer shirts. Little did I know then that one day I would be taking pictures with them on their tour bus, or partying with them at their special CD Release Bash, or covering them for Louisville Music News and 100. 5 The Fox. It was special. So to send them off in my hometown, at a place that I never thought would even think of booking Slayer, well, is pretty darn cool. The band was Slayer, tight, unrelenting, no nonsense, and they haven’t changed much in all these years. They didn't get all fat and happy and write songs about how happy and fat they were. They kept true to the metal cause and you gotta repsect that. They played a long set of songs like “”Repentless.” “Mandatory Suicide.” (my band used to cover that one),”Postmortem.” “War Ensemble.” “Stain Of Mind.” “Seasons In The Abyss.” “Chemical Warfare.” “Hell Awaits.” “South Of Heaven.” “Show No Mercy.” “Reign In Blood.” “Dead Skin Mask” and “Angel Of Death. ” There was lots of fire, even a upside down firey cross, blood red lighting, and the crowd ate it up. It truly set the Slayer mood. I was disappointed in the turnout though, having seen Tool and Metallica pretty much sell out there mere months earlier. What the hell is the world coming to? Drummer Paul Bostaph was killin' it on drums as usual (such a nice guy too, the nicest of them all). And there is no reason to mention the guy’s individual performances because they all did what they all do, as they had for decades. Nothing had changed at all, except for the addition of Exodus' Gary Holt, who in my opinion, does an excellent job replacing the fallen legend Jeff Hanneman (R. I. P). Gary is a full-fledged monster on guitar and Slayer couldn't have found a better player. He is perfect for Slayer. All in all, it was a incredible night. My GF and I had an absolute blast seeing such talented and uncompromising bands tear shit up the way they do. Seeing Slayer was captivating and almost entrancing/relaxing. I know the venue wasn't happy with the turnout, but it being a Monday, and Louder Than Life being so close, I'm thinking all that had a definite impact on Slayer’s attendance. Or maybe people are just fools and would rather see the dude from Tool hide behind his curtain all night and whine to the beat. Sorry, not much of a Tool fan, I reckon. But thanks to The Yum Center/Slayers PR peeps (Selena) for being so good to me always, and for making this show happen. It may not have been a sell-out crowd, but you made a bunch of people happy for sure, me being one of them. And there wasn't once incident that I saw of any metal fans being unruly or idiotic. We behaved. Hopefully we will get some more of these metal shows in the future at the Yum, hopefully not so close to a huge festival, when people are broke from attending it. So if this is really the end for Slayer. Thank you for all the years of good music, and excellent performances. Good luck and enjoy the rest of your days!

King Diamond Review (pics by me) :

OMG. I still am in shock that King Diamond came to Louisville and played The Louisville Palace. And it was crowded! I know not all like the King's style and vocal technique, but seriously, this was a shocker! But I guess if Ghost can do it, then why not the King? After all, he has been doing this stuff for soooo long, that he really is a man before his time. I first heard him sing in 1984! Looong before all this immensely popular Euro black metal movement came about! Yes, the King has earned his spot 50 times over, and it makes me very happy that The Palace gave the man the opportunity to show his stuff. And, boy, did he ever! People are still talking about that show! Due to its gothic architecture, The Louisville Palace is the most perfect place to see King Diamond in the USA in my opinion, except for maybe Red Rocks in Colorado. King Diamond has never played Louisville before. His other band, Mercyful Fate, has, but that was long ago at the Toy Tiger. I was so happy about this show I actually bought a ticket to see this show! Yes, I could have gotten in free, but I wanted to support the King and make sure I got a real good seat. The merch lines were very, very long, and I had to go in between songs just to get a shirt! I schmoozed around the venue talking to Diamond fans and drinking a few King Diamond specialty drinks (like The Eye Of The Witch, Halloween, Sleepless Nights) before the show having a ball. Everyone was excited.

The lights went down and then it was time. The broken-down, crumbling, gothic sanitorium stageset was cool. King always loves his stage themes. I'm so pissed I missed King Diamond's Abigail tour at Red Rocks in 2016. My GF could not get off work. I have only seen King Diamond solo once in the mid-Ninties when I interviewed him at Bogart’s in cincy on the Voodoo tour. The musicianship of King Diamonds band is unreal. These European dudes can shred beyond belief. Such melody. Such power and accurate speed. Such knowledge of classical styles. And the incorporating of both of these into one musical entity is a treat for all who enjoy such odd combinations. Guitarist Andy Larocque has always been one of my faves as far as being creative, not following trends and just plain ripping it up on solos. Guitarist Mike Wead has come a long away, too. I was not so sure of that guy when he first played with Mercyful Fate, but now its a different story, as he has matured into the perfect KD guitarist. Together these two smoke or can hang with almost anybody on the planet, metalwise! Ripping solos, slow melodic sequences, beautifully clean classical parts, and wonderful acoustic intros that really set the tone for what comes next – metal madness. Bassist Pontus Egberg is a beast as well. No complaints there at all. He fits perfectly since having joined five years ago when longtime bassist Hal Patino left the band. Drummer Matt Thumpson absolutely kills on drums and easily plays all the best tunes King has to offer. Matt has been with King since 2000 and knows the music like the back of his hand. You have to be one bad mofo to be able to play this stuff correctly. Mr Thompson is one incredibly underrated drummer. I had never heard of him before joining King Diamond. And what can we say about ole King? The King is now 63 years old and has had heart surgery, when he almost died a few years ago. I don't know what kind of deal he made with the devil, but its really strange how he can sing like this, even better than when he was young, now!? Most vocalists slowly fade, especially if they sing the higher notes and falsetto style. It's not the other way around! But somehow, King reversed all that, and sounds better than ever, even at age 63. Don't ask me how he pulls it off, but he does. It's crazy and honestly, I've never heard of such an accomplishment before. To be able to maintain that range, those highs, for so long of a set, is outstanding. King's Gf sang backups and you could hear her this time! On the newly released live DVD she was too low in the mix. The band also had the crazy-looking witch woman walking around/acting/ being scary/evil. Whoever she is, she fits the bill perfectly, because she is kinda twisted looking and does resemble a witch! But not ugly! Maybe a semi-sexy witch? And of course, Grandma was wheeled out during “Welcome Home. ”

I love King's theatrics. People just don't put on a show like that anymore.

King started up with “The Candle,” “Behind These Walls,” “Arrival/Mansion In Darkness,” “Voodoo,” “Masquerade Of Madness,” “Welcome Home” and “The Invisible Guests,” before ending this special night with “The Black Horsemen.” It was a short set, which annoyed me and my roommate a little, but at King's age, he has to be careful not to overwork his voice.

I was a little upset he didn't play “Abigail,” “The Possession,” “1777,” or “Eye Of The Witch,” but I guess I missed all that in 2016 on the pre-Abigail tour. But I was still glad he came to town. I'm just glad I got to see King at such an amazing venue full of good friends who love King Diamond as much as I do. I was scared there wouldn't be much of a crowd because of King’s unorthodox style that had never really truly made it in America. Unless you were cool, like me! But I was overjoyed to see that the good stuff eventually does come around, popular or not.

My favorite songs of the night were “Arrival/Mansion In Darkness,” “The Invisible Guests,” “Sleepless Nights” and “Welcome Home. ”

To the Louisville Palace. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for bringing such edgy unorthodox uncompromising heavier acts to your exquisite venue these last few years, and for always taking care of me and treating me well. I love you folks!

Departure, The Louisville Journey Tribute, Debut Review:

I went out one night to see my former drummer’s new band, Departure (The Journey Tribute), debut at a new venue called The Odeon, formerly Butchertown Pub. It was a very nice venue and I hope I can play there soon. The band is comprosed of singer Robb Maupin, drummer Kevin Davidson, guitarist Matt Coddington, bassist Kevin Garr, and keyboardist Jeremy Nalley. Some serious veteran Louisville musicians. Journey is a hard band to replicate, so I was curious to see what was up and if they could pull it off.

They did. Well.

It sounded very good. Vocalist Rob Maupin, who I had seen many many times before, pulled off the Steve Perry bit pretty well, I must say. Steve Perry isn't the easiest guy to sing like, after all. But Rob made it work, and surprised me with how well he did, even already knowing what a skilled singer he was. But I didn't know he was capable of getting that high vocally. He did an fantastic job.

Bassist Kevin Garr rocked it out doing backups as well. What a sick bassist! Drummer Kevin Davidson (who played drums in my old band 13^th Level to 8000 people at LRSfest), who has also played in many many cover bands, killed on drums, and made Journey even more ballsier. Kevin is one of the better drummers in this town, and definitely the best drummer I have ever played with. Guitarist Matt Coddington did a good job, but couldn't seem to get that patented Neil Schon sound. Who could though? That Mfer is unreal. But he did as well as any mortal man could trying to fill a guitar legend’s shoes. I did notice he was very low in the PA mix, to where you could barely hear him! I'm a guitarist, so I was like, turn that Mfer up! What the hell are they doing?? I almost went up to the soundman and said “we can't hear no freaking guitar!” But those guys never listen and usually get pissed.

Sorry, but I'm a musician as well, and know WTF I'm talking about. Turn that Mfer up! So maybe that’s what it was with the weak guitar sound.

Keyboardist Jeremy Nalley was highly skilled and sounded perfect! Such a beautiful sound.

These guys are really good, and if you love Journey, then you need to see them soon! They are five very talented Louisville musicians who represent well. They just played their second show in Brandenburg to a sold out crowd.

They played a slew of Journey songs, including “Separate Ways,” “Lovin', Touchin, Squeezing,” “Anyway You Want It,” “Faithfully,” “Send Her My Love,” “Don't Stop Believing,” “”Who's Crying Now,” “”Stone In Love” and “Wheels In The Sky. ”

What a great show. Departure rocks!

Louisville Billiards Steps UP, Needs Local Music History Memorabilia:

Since so many venues are closing and Louisville Billiards seems to be stepping things up nicely, having more Louisville original music, and those guys are now currently trying to renovate the venue with historic oldschool memorabilia when our scene was outstanding! So they need old posters, gear, an old backdrop, signs, banners, mirrors, instruments, etc, – to put up on display at the club. You will get your stuff back after an alotted period of time, no doubt. They are trying to revamp it into a Hard Rock Cafe type venue, all about the local music scene throughout the years! So if you have some cool stuff you can donate, let Mark know at 502-387-7665. I would like to thank those guys for making Louisville Billiards a place for everyone now. Cover bands and original bands all coming together to make music and have a good time. Many venues used to only do cover bands, but good things happen to those with an open mind! I remember when the Phoenix hill did nothing but covers, until I talked them into letting me have an original music showcase in January of 2000. Then it skyrocketed and became the longest running, most popular, original music showcase in Louisville history. It's a fact! Every month was packed! So hopefully more and more original bands will get the opportunity to play Billiards in the future. Both of my original bands have played there and we had fun each time, especially this last time with my old friends Crazy Train. So thanks Louisville Billiards and Marc Masden, for keeping the scene alive. We need it! Here is some footage of the Crazy Train show! Video by ME!
