This photo immediately puts the song “Havenless” into my head. Although the song is from 2003, they didn’t start playing this song live on a regular basis until 2018. Odd, don’t you think? Can you think of any other songs (by any bands) that went largely ignored for 15 years and then suddenly became a staple of the live set?

I’ve seen Enslaved four times over the past 15 years in three different countries but never in my home state.

Sleep on a 19th Century ship (af Chapman) in the Stockholm harbor? Yes, please. Unfortunately, it was booked so I stayed in the former army barracks next to the ship, now a hostel. That was the last time I will stay in a hostel. I’m way too old for that, but the views were amazing.

Fun fact, this ship’s maiden voyage (1888) went from England to Portland, Oregon.

August 25, 2023 – SoFi Stadium – Metallica art by Juan Ma Orozco

@Metallica #metallica @SoFiStadium

Metallica’s “no-repeat weekend” tour is picking up in Detroit tonight and Sunday. Every night has a different piece of artwork that shows up on posters and t-shirts. With 80,000 in attendance (and thousands more who weren’t in attendance who collect such things), you’d think they’d want to maximize profits by printing as many as they could sell. Instead, they printed just 550 each night. People waited in line for hours to be first in the stadium (hours before the openers took the stage) to purchase them even with no general admission seating. The posters were already sold out thanks to security buying them up before the gates opened. They then flipped them on ebay for more than 10X the original price.
