Been listening to some older stuff that really kicked off my metal obsession back in 6th grade

The second being from a show my buddy dragged me to that ended up being an absolutly fantastic experience. Clutch was there so i figured why not, and ended up having a chat with Bill Kelliher (and eventually taking a guitar lesson from him a year later)

I canāt bear this post only getting one like and no replies, so two days later . . . yes, yes I did stream the #THSBB shows. My third, fourth, and fifth virtual shows of this yearānot the same, but better than nothing I guess.
We watched Friday live. We were getting ready to watch Saturday at 9 then realized that one started earlier lol! So weāll watch it on demand this week sometime. The 3rd night set list looked killer.
THS consistently have great shows/vibes. Canāt wait to REALLY see them live again!
Just FYI, I think they are only available for streaming through midnight tonightāI could be wrong but you might want to double-check!
Third night set was good, yeah. Adderall, Lord Iām Discouraged, Certain Songs (none of which were played the first two nights), and then finishing up with trio of YCMHLY, Stay Positive, and Killer Parties is tough to beat.
Very much agree on great shows, great vibes. Up there with Guided by Voices as some of my favorite/most fun shows to attend. Will be nice to do it for real again one of these days!
If you havenāt done so yet, check out The War on Drugsā live album LIVE DRUGS which came out last month. This version of Under the Pressure has been on repeat for me.
Inject it into my veins! This new album from Cody Jinks is soooo good, and it especially makes me miss live music.
Love it, but is it even in the top half of Rage album openers, though?
Tearing Me Up has become my morning anthem since rediscovering it. Iāve also come across this song which has the slow-roll-groovy-vibe Iām addicted to.
This is a banger to start an album withā¦
The intro and I against I go togetherā¦
This song gets the blood pumping
Not an album starter, but was just reminded of this gem from the early 90s
yes!!! bad brains!!!
Openers
An opener with a killer opener.

This album was my āairline travelā soundtrack back when I was on the road a lot. Sit down, put on the Bose headphones and crank this before takeoff. Set the mood. This opener is legit.
Second vote for āRandom Rules.ā
My Top 5 other than that (not exactly a hot take cannon here)ā¦

How has this not been listed for best album opener? Can still remember where I was the first time I heard this.
Guise,
Matt Nathanson just played U2ās āBadā on livestream and my head and heart might explode.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
The acronym threw me off. Even searched for Nirvana and Smells Like. That makes me feel better though knowing it wasnāt missed!
Iāve been listening to a pod about Joy Division and this is a pretty darn good album opener
