Stories from the past: Damage Inc. Tour

A friend of mine and I were sharing stories and one in particular came up. It was Metallica’s Damage Inc. Tour back in 1986 opening for Ozzy Osbourne. That was the last tour Cliff Burton was on before tragically killed in bus accident on September 27th, 2986.

My friend still has the ticket stub from the show from June 14th, 1986 at Long Beach Arena. For a lot of people Metallica was the reason they went to the show.

 

Yes it is NOT!

We moved the office to the next room earlier today and found an IKEA NOT lamp.

I wonder if the guys from Anthrax would like this Not lamp for the Not Man.

Yes it is A Different Kind Of Truth.

Van Halen is back with David Lee Roth sans Michael Anthony; Wolfgang Van Halen (Eddie’s son) is taking the bass duty. New album titled “A Different Kind Of Truth” is scheduled for February 7th, 2012 release while its first single “Tattoo” goes on sale on January 10th, 2012 on iTunes and January 14th, everywhere else such as Amazon MP3.

Blabbermouth.net user GhostofPerdition pointed out that “A Different Kind Of Truth” cover art looks like a rip-off of The Commodores “Movin’ On”.

Cannot unsee!

iPhone Autocorrect: Motörhead

I noticed it a while back, but a tweet from Dave Navarro inspired me to spread the word even more. iPhone Autocorrect knows how to spell Motörhead, with the umlaut on the second “o”.

Travelling back to 1982-1983.

Metallica and Mustaine had been on stage together during the Big 4 shows, but not like this. Dave Mustaine once again fulfilled the role he had back in 1982 and 1983, the lead guitarist of Metallica even only for three songs. Metallica and Dave Mustaine together performed “Phantom Lord”, “Jump In The Fire” and “Metal Militia” just like they did back in 1982 and 1983. How we all really wish Cliff Burton were there too.

Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield, side by side doing what they do best.

It is even more surreal to see Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett “being in Metallica” at the same time.

It might have been 1982 and 1983 again.

Note to James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine: It’s not too late to collaborate together again.
