| ________________________________________ [May 20,2010 2:45pm - josh_hates_you ""] listening now. |
| __________________________________ [May 20,2010 3:07pm - sethrich ""] Just listened to this album start to finish. I like it :THUMBSUP: |
| _________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 1:28pm - sethrich ""] Anyone go to the show at the Middle East last night? I missed it. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 2:04pm - bloblovesmusic ""] Nick from Razormaze went and said they ruled! |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 4,2010 2:42pm - the_reverend ""] i would have gone if the tuesday NH show wasnt canceled. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 5,2010 11:17pm - Beorht-Dana ""] I went to the Fu Manchu show that they opened and Black Tusk was awesome. I had never heard them before the show but from the second they started playing I was headbanging. These guys have great stage presence and the bass player has a beard that could make him an easy replacement for Dusty Hill if he ever leaves ZZ Top. As a side note, Fu Manchu also ruled hard that night. They played a killer cover of "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult. |
