Photo Album: Prong, Sepultura and Testament, Gas Monkey Live, Dallas 7 April, 2017

Earlier this year Tommy, Chris, Robbie and I took a thrash road trip to Dallas and here are a few crappy pictures to prove it:



Prong was worth taking the trip all by themselves. I think they really impressed Tommy, Chris and Robbie who had talked about it not being a bad thing if they didn't get to see them. Their tune changed very quickly once Prong took the stage.


Sepultura was a band that I only ever listened to a few songs in their catalog. They had to be seen live for me to get them. I'll go again if I get the chance.


Testament played for so long I just got tired and wanted the show to be over. Nothing against them or their playing, it was just too much at that point. My feet hurt, my knees hurt and my back hurt. That's what happens when you get old.

There was a fourth band that opened but since I didn't care for them I won't be mentioning their name. Okay, I actually don't remember their name right now so that should tell you something.

notmovingpictures Episode 057: Road Trip Talk

Finally Tommy has returned! As promised this episode comes from the recent road trip to Dallas on our way to see Testament, Sepultura and Prong. Be forewarned, this was recorded in Tommy's truck with Chris and Robbie in the back so there is a lot of noise but that cannot be avoided. Luckily it's not too bad. As usual we talk about politics, especially those here in Oklahoma, specifically how the elected officials in this state have decided that they know what's best for the people, so they can ignore what was voted on.

We talk about the bureaucracy that is the U.S. government, what's wrong with the medical insurance here (i.e. we have no real choices) and once again how marijuana should be legalized and what a complete joke Scott Pruitt is. All that and more, plus we also recorded another episode on the way back home the next day which will be coming soon.



Opening Music: Alloy - Live To See The Day
Closing Music: Armored Saint - Mess

notmovingpictures Episode 056: Roadtripping

I promise new episodes are coming with Tommy. As a matter of fact I am editing them now but in the meantime I felt like talking about music so here you go. Another episode of me rambling along about the recent concerts I've seen and those that are upcoming. Names like Prong, Sepultura, Testament, Local H have been seen and those like X, Alice Cooper, Megadeth and Scorpions are all on the schedule amongst others. Once again there is talk about wanting to do new music because I have a ton of lyrical ideas sitting and waiting but also about trying to learn to play a little guitar. It's not too long of an episode so go ahead and check it out.



Closing Music: Alloy - Live To See The Day
Closing Music: Thurston Moore - Cease Fire
