Qk concert story - Back in 93 ish, me and a few friends w/ our girlfriends / future wives, went to Blackham to see Molly Hatchet playing inside one of the barns lol. While the stage teardown after the opening act was going on, we went outside to see this chick playing on an 18 wheeler flatbed trailer - about 20 of us or so watching on a crisp fall night - who was the chick you ask ??? That would be one Shania Twain - a few weeks later BOOM and the rest is history!

Anyone remember a band called The Clickin' Chickens? Their whole gig is playing classic 60s and 70s rock with a fantastic bluegrass style. Saw them a couple times at Grant Street Dance Hall back in the 80s.

I remember the Clickin’ Chickens. I found out about them from Gary Newman, who was part of the band.

It was freakin' WILD. I wanted to get in the Pit, until I got there. It was a whirlpool of chaos in ankle deep mud and blood.

A couple years later saw NIN at the Lakefront. Quite the experience.

I saw NIN at Lakefront in February 1995 after Downward Spiral was released. Pretty sure it was the last show of the tour because they tore up some of their keyboards and other equipment at the end of the show.

Jim Rose Circus opened up for NIN and it was basically a freakshow of weirdos eating light bulbs, contortionists putting themselves through tennis rackets, a guy who lifted heavy items through piercings in his body, and all kinds of other strange people doing "odd stuff". LOL

That's the show! Cajuns4me and I were there. Yes! I had forgot about the Circus stuff. It was nuts.

I'll never forget the video NIN played with the snake and the eagle. Pretty cool.

Cajun music legend Joel Sonnier passed away last night, not long after performing a show in Texas.

"Sonnier ended his show with “Tear-Stained Letter” and received a standing ovation."

Anybody here into Deftones? I've been on a craze with their music lately lol. I have a bold take on their discography tho: Modern Deftones>Old Deftones.

Don't get me wrong, albums like White Pony and Around the Fur are really good, but they kinda feel like the band was just trying to keep up with the latest trends at the time. IMO every album from Diamond Eyes onward is consistently better and feel like the band is doing what fits them best. Just my thoughts tho!
