Coming up Viagra Boys next month at the Majestic. Cool place and haven’t been there in a while. Glad I’m finally feeling well enough to go. Really looking forward to this.
On Saturday I will take my wife to see YO YO MA. I don’t yet have anything else on the calendar for 2023.
I’ve got Dark Angel in April and KMFDM in May.
I’ve got Morbid Angel in Apr and that’s about it so far…
WASP in April. Iced Earth a bit later on in the year.
edit: Oh I forgot. Metallica in June. 
I got nothing coming up 
Me neither, and you know what? I don’t fucking care. I just turned 47. I’d prefer to stay home, prop up my feet, and listen to the band-in-question’'s records than stand in a stinky crowd until my knees go numb and my back seizes up. How in God’s name did I ever do Lollapalooza, not once but twice?!

Totally prefer live stream shows, cameras are always closer than front row even.
Merch is still no reason to go, merch is offered before streaming event.
I’ll take my couch and comforts over some squatty seat or sro anyday.

Just a youngster. I’ll be 56 in about a month. In general, I agree with you, I’d rather stay home. However, life has gone very wrong the last couple years and haven’t seen a show since the last Slayer tour in 2019. It will be nice to get out and do something and really looking forward to Viagra Boys.
Long story made much shorter… I’ve had some here to for unnamed autoimmune like disorder for the last 30 years that causes havoc every now and again. Things have improved considerably the last 6 weeks or so. Agent69 and I had a rather rough go for the last year due to life going seriously awry for both of us (in different ways) and health troubles of our her own. Our recent get together was exactly what we needed. I couldn’t be happier with the way things went. Even with broken bones.
Anyway… I’m just happy to rejoin life and get out and see some live music.
Nothing like getting out and seeing live music for me…they will be pushing me to shows in a wheelchair if I live that long…I’m almost 52 so yeah probably not that long 
Especially when you are only 10 -15 minutes into the gig and your legs are already tired and there’s still 90 minutes to go and then you start thinking to yourself: actually, now that I think about it, this band really isn’t very good live. I wish I’d spent that money on records or a really fancy meal or something instead of standing here crushed between this here really obese guy and this other guy with the bad B.O. listening to music that sounds soooo much better on my stereo instead of in this giant hall with the annoying reverb.
Which is what happened when I went and saw Porcupine Tree once.
Same. And I don’t know what shit bands everyone is into that they aren’t as good live, but all the shows I see are completely awesome. That said, I am kind of okay with settling back into a more regular routine. It was funny how things ended up.
2020 - Fucking Covid drought. No shows. I was desperate for anything. I might have seen nothing at all, but I think I did see part of a Journey cover band’s set at Lake Arrowhead Village sometime during all this, hahaha.
2021 - A few shows blazed forward and despite whatever restrictions might be thrown, it was worth it, cherished, and so much fun.
2022 - The flood gates had opened and ALL the shit that had backlogged for the previous 2 years came rushing. There were so many shows that it was actually overwhelming. I was seeing a bunch but also choosing to skip a bunch. Was a great problem to have.
2023 - No more backlog and I got so much of my fix last year that I’m okay taking it easy for a while anyway.
Looking to see Sonja and Morgul Blade in March.
Nothing else in the very near future.
