The Kings of Rock are back!

Van Halen is officially back. See some fan shot footage of “I’m the One” here.

10/7/20 – this post updated by ~mc~ . The guitar god Eddie Van Halen passed away yesterday at the age of 65 after a long battle with throat cancer. BMF’s teenage band was Van Halen and I need to get all his Van Halen posts updated pronto.

I’m not sure if BMF ever saw Van Halen in his younger days but we got to see them reunited with David Lee Roth in Atlanta in 2008 and in New York in 2012. According to the Van Halen 2007-2008 North American Tour Wikipedia, the first date of the tour on September 27, 2007 in Charlotte, NC was David Lee Roth’s first show with Van Halen since September 2, 1984. This made BMF very happy and this was his post about it in 2007. Unfortunately the original video shot by a fan has been deleted by you tube. #57bmf4ever

Slayer and Marilyn Manson in Atlanta (7/28/07)

Slayer officially becomes the new leader for hearing loss, especially considering the crappy open air venue. Much much much louder than Kiss at the same venue. Nashville Pussy (in a small closed venue) was the previous leader.

It was our first Slayer concert (6th time with Marilyn), and while a little bit of Slayer goes a long way it was definitely worth the ticket prize and the crappy venue. Marilyn Manson NEVER disappoints.

Photos here.

There are no photos here. At the time BMF was making his photo galleries with Plogger and many of the photos attached to that application were lost in the big web fire. I’m sure they will be found on one of his computers some day. There is an archived version of the Plogger skeleton but no photos. 🙁 5/21/21 ~mc
