[evil1rox]

Brothers and Sisters,

I a evil1rox (Ryan). Global mod...and overall righteous dude...and I have a confesion.

Had any of you shot me in the head and killed me tonight I'd have died content!!!

Iron Maiden in Chicago was ****ing amazing! I WILL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO EXTRACT THE VIDEO FROM MY PHONE TO SHARE!!!
If you ever were/are/considering seeing Iron Maiden before you die...DO IT!!! AWESOME SHOW...but wait the best part follows....

After the show we are all hungry (after consuming 2 more beers at The RAM of course)..and who do we bump into at the hotdog joint????

CHARLIE ****ING BENANTE FROM ANTHRAX,THAT's WHO!!!!!!!!!!!!

My best friend and I are wearing our Anthrax shirts from various Anthrax tours...so I now have an Anthrax tour shirt....with CHARLIE (****ING) BENANTE'S SIG ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charlie is one of my personal drumming gods.

Never in my life have I gotten star struck... (I've hung with Tommy Lee, most of Disturbed, The Reverend Horton Heat...the guys from Drop Kick Murphy's, etc...) but I was so excited and nervous to meet Charlie...MY HANDS WERE VISIBLY SHAKING!!!!

-oh...Maiden rocked the house too!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vids willl be posted when:
1) I get some sleep and
2) fellow mods help me get it posted!

When I die..parts of this night will comprise my "life flash".

ROCK ON BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!!

E! (Ryan)

Ah, to hear Wasted Years live....that would be fun. I really only got into Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son.
For some reason I can't remember any Anthrax tunes other than "I'm The Man" (or whatever it was called). I had three of their friggin' albums and I can't remember their songs?! Sheesh...how much was I smokin' back then?!
Ah well.
Where was this? I've seen shows at the Vic and the "Brawl-room" ;), but I'm not familiar with the RAM.

The RAM is actually just a local watering hole that we fuel up at prior to the show.

The show was at Allstate Arena (Formely Rosemount Horizon)... and it was amazing!!!

The one bummer... Run to the Hills... my favorite song... I was getting beer when they played it and I missed the whole thing.

Thank god I met my personal drumming god later in the night to assuage my pain.

Ryan, when you started this thread I thought there was a breakout of a disease Ironmaiden and Anthrax a crosspolinated lab invented super disease. lol ;D
