I spent this past weekend at the annual DMB Gorge shows. This was my first time seeing Dave since the 1997 Bridge School Benefit with Neil Young. I guess I made up for those missing 20 years by seeing him three nights in a row. This was my first time at the Gorge Amphitheatre. What an amazing place!

Anyway, more photos to come here.

Kvelertak’s Eriend Hjelvik @ Roskilde Festival 2016

@Kvelertak

I intended to see Kvelertak back in 2014 with Mastodon and Gojira. A photo pass never materialized for that show, though, so I didn’t go. Strangely, I still got to see Kvelertak and Gojira together. It just took an extra two-plus years and a trip to Denmark to have the experience.

Kvelertak’s show was live streamed on Red Bull TV. Sadly, I can’t find it on the internet. Anyone have a copy or URL they can point me to?

Diamond Head’s Abbz and new bass player Dean Ashton @ his debut performance @ Metal Brew 2016

Fun interview with Brian Tatler soon after the Metal Brew show here:

When he talks about playing a song live for just the second time, he is talking about “Starcrossed” (from the “Death & Progress” album) which Diamond Head played live for the first time at Metal Brew.

Dave Mustaine

@COPENHELL @Megadeth #Dystopia @DaveMustaine

2016 Copenhell was my fourth time seeing Megadeth live. I saw them in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and now the 2010s. See you again in the 2020s, Dave?
