Lightshow in the JC Raulston Arboretum at NC State University with my girlfriend. The pic of the kid standing between the pumpkins, yes, they're real. One of those is 820 lbs (373 kg) and the other is 727 lbs (330.5 kg)!
Ronnie would have been 77 on July 10th. Sadly, the man with the greatest voice in heavy metal died May 16, 2010, from stomach cancer. To the man who invented 🤘, a double shot of Blackened American Whiskey! You're a legend, man! 🤘🤘🖖
Meet & greets with Unleash The Archers (UTA) and Trivium. Couldn't take the kid to see UTA, as it was a 21+ joint, it was a school night and he was with his mom. Trivium, on the other hand, that was his belated birthday present. And I got my Strat signed by the guys.
Charlotte, NC, Slayer's "Farewell Tour". Huge lineup and my son and I got to meet Anthrax. They were the only ones of the Big 4 I hadn't seen at all, until that day.
A couple of my newest acquisitions: "Blackened" American Whiskey, inspired by Metallica and "White Walker" Ltd Ed. Scotch by Johnny Walker
Awesome show, got to watch from the side of the stage. Best seats in the house
